Given the current set up of the game, catching the captain pick correctly and netting those hauls has become an essential cog in the wheel of achieving that illusive 10k finish. I recall the heady heights of the 2018/19 season when 16 weeks into the season, I was sat just inside the top 10k ORContinue reading “Captaincy – Netting that Haul”

#FPL – WHERE ARE WE PLACED? (#GW9)
While I was working as a Trader I used to always write a proprietary report for trade ideas called, “Where are we placed?”. The idea was to first analyse where we stand currently and based on that and our forward assumptions (based on historical evidence and future event risks) try and envision the best possibleContinue reading “#FPL – WHERE ARE WE PLACED?

FPLMatchups GW8
Hi, and welcome back to FPL matchups for #GW8. As a reminder, these words take the perspective of a manager looking at exploitable matchups on the field to take advantage of opponents’ weaknesses. Thanks to those in the community that provided alternative captain suggestions. Let’s get to it. Today’s menu: Captaincy Kane/Son Werner/Chilwell Aubameyang LIV/MCIContinue reading “FPLMatchups GW8”
FPL Poker Tables GW8
These blogs are quick to trumpet the successes of previous gameweek’s predictions, so it would be remiss of me to not acknowledge that there wasn’t much to crow about last week at all. Having been blown off course a little by results in GW6, my spreadsheet floundered again in GW7, being bettered by bookmakers oddsContinue reading “FPL Poker Tables GW8”

#FPL MATCHUPS GW7
I missed last week’s matchups article and in preparation for this article it struck me how much I missed writing this. So this week is a throwback to what started this, an analysis of defensive matchups in specific areas of the field in order to inform our captain selection. Let’s do this. SHU/MCI LIV/WHU TOT/BHA Bonus playerContinue reading “#FPL MATCHUPS GW7”
FPL Poker Tables GW7
My spreadsheet predictions were blown off course a little last week by the failure of the MUN vs CHE fixture to serve up any goals, which increased its average mean absolute error (MAE) for predicted goals to 0.90. As well as giving them a rare victory over my spreadsheets, the relative shortage of goals inContinue reading “FPL Poker Tables GW7”

I actually wish I owned Mane as I’d have no such dilemma now. You will have spotted that he was behind only Vardy (4 pens) in my Players Expected Goals table. I would have no qualms about captaining him whatsoever.

#FPLMATCHUPS GW 5
Minutes per 2 Goal Opportunities FDR This week I am going to do something a little different with this article. Rather than break down individual matchups with a tactical lens, I will be introducing a new Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR) that I have been working on during the IB. This is completely unfamiliar territory forContinue reading “#FPLMATCHUPS GW 5”
