GW 10 Projections

And this is where the digging starts. Once again, these are just projections. They do not necessarily have to be accurate, but if they are not, at least I can get a clue from how far off projections can be, as  well as how "accurate" projections can be at the start of the season (since I'm working backwards). I'll spend as little time as possible for Gameweeks 1 to 10 and the Verdict will probably be more important, but they're all linked to each other one way or another. So here we go.

First XI, followed by subs

Player	Position	Fixture	Projected Score
Begovic	GK	NOR (A)	-
Baines	DEF	FUL (A)	-
O'Shea	DEF	AVL (H)	-
Cameron	DEF	NOR (A)	-
Mata	MID	SWA (A)	5 at least
Bale	MID	WIG (H)	6 at least
Ben Arfa	MID	LIV (A)	2
Sterling	MID	NEW (H)	2
Aguero	FWD	WHU (A)	6 at least
Ba	FWD	LIV (A)	2 (4)
Defoe	FWD	WIG (H)	6 at least
Krul	GK	LIV (A)	2
Riise	DEF	EVE (H)	-
Nolan	MID	MCI (H)	2
Davies	DEF	CHE (H)	-

Begovic (nor) v Krul (liv)

Turns out that this week only player forecasts were out. Can't do much about that then. I've put down away games as 2 pointers so with both keepers projected to be 2, Bego gets the nod since I have Liverpool players.

Defence

Home games got priority here, so Baines and O'Shea get first pick. Between Cameron Riise and Davies however, I would expect all 3 to produce 2 to make things convenient, considering their opponents attacking prospects.

Nolan v the front 7

Stats suggest that Ben Arfa should have been dropped for this game. I did otherwise. 9 times out of 10 this would've been a mistake, but it's probably the difference between 2 points and 3.

Conclusion: So with a projected total of 37 points, I should be expecting a below-par gameweek.
