Nothing makes bigger fools out of us than football results can! So much for the shortage of goals and scarcity of clean sheets forecast last week by my GW1 tables. In fact, there were more clean sheets than there normally are when we have a full complement of fixtures! And having predicted a near cleanContinue reading “FPL Poker Tables GW2”

FPL Mariner musing’s: Forwards
I will be pleased when this preseason is done if I’m honest. Every day there are more announcements of new players resulting in us having to go back to the drawing board. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a super exciting time but it’s also complicated all the same. I hope this shorter article helps withContinue reading “FPL Mariner musing’s: Forwards”

FPL Poker Tables GW1
The start of a new season was complicated enough with both Manchester clubs blanking, and the uncertainty around players in our squads going in and out of quarantine against the backdrop of a global pandemic, but the fixture schedule has thrown us an additional curve ball if my spreadsheet predictions are anything to go by.

FPL Mariner’s Musings : Defence
Last Season including wildcards I made a ridiculous 14 defensive transfers. Upon review this immediately jumped out as an area for improvement allowing me to use my transfers wisely and minimising hits (9, -36).

Using my data which all of you wouldContinue reading “FPLMariner Musings : Goalkeepers”
2019-20 season review of my spreadsheet’s rolling 8GW data
During the course of last season, I established that an 8 gameweek data was optimal for my spreadsheets. From GW17 onwards, my spreadsheet’s better than bookies odds predictions were based on each team’s last 8 home or away games, whichever was relevant for the upcoming gameweek. Recently, I found myself wondering to what extent teams’Continue reading “2019-20 season review of my spreadsheet’s rolling 8GW data”
