FPL 13/14 GW1: The Verdict

Time to see how bad the damage is. 

GW1 post-Saturday has left me lingering in the 1.8 MILLION rank mark. The first day average was contributed mainly by the people who have RVP's brace combined with one of Mignolet or Toure, so having neither Mignolet or RVP I deservedly am in this position. Time for KPI monitoring then lol.

The Verdict is about analysis of my players based on their score, combined with their underlying stats (credit to Whoscored) from a particular Gameweek.

This section was actually quite tricky to make because players brought in have expectations about them, highlighted by their projected score. Since this is part of the personal record, there will be 2 tables to deliver the verdict on these players. The first table will be the underlying stats for each player based on their individual games.

Based on these stats, their actual score is compared to their projected score, and based on their stats a Verdict is given.

Projected Score	Actual Score	Stats	Verdict
Good	Good	Good	Deliver
Good	Bad	Good	Unlucky
Good	Good	Bad	Lucky
Good	Bad	Bad	Flop
Bad	Good	Good	Gem
Bad	Bad	Good	Unlucky
Bad	Good	Bad	Lucky
Bad	Bad	Bad	Expected

The rule is to keep the Delivers and the Gems, Monitor the Lucky and the Unlucky, and drop the Flops.

Boruc	2	6	N/A	N/A
Kim	3	2	N/A	Expected
Turner	3	0	N/A	Expected
Clyne	2	0	N/A	Not Playing

Delivers: -

Unlucky: Coutinho, Mirallas, Hazard, Dzeko

Lucky: -

Expecteds: Kim, Turner

Flops: Walcott, Lukaku

Not Playing/Injured: Clyne

Gem: Soldado

Conclusion: 53 points is very, very underwhelming and I officially start with a rank of 1.3 million. Challenge accepted.

To monitor: While most of my players have been unlucky this week, Lukaku even with his decent production has to go. There are too many forwards out there with the same price tag at the moment outscoring him. It is worrying.
