GW26 Projections

OK so with a little recap on last week's spoils and the big DGW coming up, this is where my wildcard team delivers. Let's see how big things can get.

Adding a new feature here. Vantheman's gonna (hopefully) send me his picks every week, so I'll be putting them here from here on. Good times.

GW24: The Verdict

Wow the stats came out late. Rush rush rush. At least I got my green arrow :)

My WildCard team 12/13

After 2 weeks of tinkering and drafting, the final decisions have been made with my Wildcard team for the second half of the season. There were experiments with 3-5-2, 3-4-3 and even a team revolving around Leighton Baines, but the Liverpool DGW swayed me and this post will be the landmark where I will deviate from most fantasy managers.

I will state my reasons here, as well as recommendations from another friend (which I'll attempt to put up every week and better hopefully), but this is where things get messy. 

Gameweek Summary

Forecasted scores based on Gameweek vs. Scores obtained on actual gameweek. This post serves to keep track of how well I was expected to do in a particular gameweek, and summarises where I have won or lost points. This post is still considered as a draft, as I will aim to complete my analysis based on Gameweek 1 up to the current Gameweek. Will keep things as simple as possible until I come up with something.

Concept:

1. The purpose of this page is to figure out a trend between obtained score and category of players. If I know how many Delivers/Flops I have, I know how well I should be doing.
2. Every week I will have Projected scores and actual scores. 
3. Based on The Verdict, I will pinpoint Delivers/Flops.
4. Based on Delivers/Flops, I will determine what portion of these players I would like to have in my team. Obviously everyone would like to have Delivers, but with a budget constraint, good rotations are key to consistently good Gameweeks.
5. There will be 3 tables: One for Scores, One for Players, and One for links to individual Gameweeks. 
6. I am intending to add a section/table for players to monitor/drop, which is the whole point of this page.

GW23: The Watchlist

Each week when Shotsontarget publish their stats for MatchCenter, I'll pick the match's "best players" and highlight their most outstanding stats to decide whether they will make the Watchlist.


Two metrics are used here, the first being Key Passes (a pass that creates a shooting chance) and Shots on Target in the Box. Players that stand out on either stat will be called Creators and Shooters respectively, while players who have both are coined All-Rounders.

Watchlist Guidelines: 

Players that go on the Watchlist are Tier 1 all rounders, and some of the top 3/4 Tier 2 All-Rounders. Tier 1 All-Rounders are the most important, pinpointing potential "Gems" for the coming weeks.

The Tier 1 All-Rounders are "Gems" that will be worth PICKING UP if the maintain their stats (and tactical positioning) for 2-3 weeks in a row, and will certainly be the ones that are "worth a punt".

The Tier 2 All Rounders are also potential gems, but they are more of the "shining lights" in a weak team performance and are more likely to be picked up when their team hits form.

If there is no value there then I'll look through some top Shooters and top Creators. I'll also do a quick note on how these top Shooters' and Creators' chances are created in their respective systems, and make a quick verdict on whether to include them in the Watchlist or not.

I'll probably make a "Second Tier" Watchlist as well to accommodate players that are "coming into form", perhaps due to a new system or a new-found confidence.

Finally, I'll have a "Wishlist" for personal reasons: These are Tier 1 Watchlist players that I don't have that I wish to have, which is something I'll use for my upcoming transfer-in decisions.


Here we go. Watchlist last week (GW22):


Wishlist: -

Watchlist 1: Baines, Gerrard

Watchlist 2: Lampard, Lukaku, Benteke, Di Santo
