I've been avoiding this long enough, WC29 went horrendously, but we keep going... spoiler alert, I'm gonna do BB30.
April 1, 2025 at 7:54 AM
Activated my WC, going all in.
Haaland C.
OR around 108k.
Good luck all!!!
March 15, 2025 at 1:28 PM
So this is what negative variance looks like... Considering what happened it could have been a lot worse.
March 11, 2025 at 8:28 AM
I guess I haven't learned my lesson yet.
Rolling to 3fts.
Palmer Cap.
OR around 80k.
Good luck all!!!
March 8, 2025 at 10:55 AM
Another meh GW, I hesitate to rant too much, because I did get a green arrow, but I'm not happy. The plan is to roll into 29 and then acquire the services of the big blonde robot and atleast one of his teammates.
February 28, 2025 at 1:02 PM
Lucky enough to roll to 2 FTs.
Palmer C
OR around 86k
Analytics managers assemble!!!
Good luck all!!!
February 25, 2025 at 4:28 PM
Not the GW I wanted, but that's life... Hopefully I'm rolling for the next 2 GWs.
February 24, 2025 at 10:00 AM
Let's keep the good time rolling... Brought in Dango for Eze.
Salah C
Around 43k OR
Good luck all!!!
February 21, 2025 at 6:17 PM
These are the gains we want, 81k to 42k. Now I have to decide what's the plan for GW 26, AM switch, or Eze to Dango, I have till friday to decide.
February 20, 2025 at 6:31 AM
I decided to attack the DGW, used all 3 of my FTs, did Moyes to Emery, Bruno to Nwaneri and Ndiaye to Watkins.
Salah C.
OR around 80k.
Good luck all!!!
February 14, 2025 at 6:10 PM
Considering everything I'm happy with this GWs result. One ft is certain, Moyes to Emery, I still need to work out if it's worth it to use the other 2 fts.

💹 So far this season, PL home advantage is at a 20-year low (excl. 20/21)

Goals (xG) per game:
🔹Home – 1.54 (1.50)
🔹Away – 1.49 (1.40)

Markets still pricing home teams +0.30 goals per game, in line with historical trends - suggests they're sceptical this dip will continue! 👇

I wrote a little bit about quantifying the impact of fatigue on ball-striking/finishing for players. Do players get tired in-game? Or between games without rest?

GW25 Assistant Manager Points Potential 📊

No surprises that Liverpool lead in expected value.
However, an interesting choice is presented to managers yet again: safer floor or higher ceiling?

⚔️ Merseyside Derby Impact on the AM24 Points Gap

A Liverpool win (~68%) puts Slot owners at least 5 points clear, however there's also plenty of points available for an Everton upset.

#FPL Some updates for AM integration to FPLOptimized tools:
- Started with minor fixes; and Live GW and Highlights pages are working.
- Projected points for GW24 will be manually updated soon to include AM. Right now all AMs have 0 prP, but will be fixed.
- AM projections are automated for future.

Update after each team's first game:

Slot: 10 points, expectation: 17.90
Moyes: 12 points, expectation: 17.24

📈 Gap narrows but Slot maintains the edge heading into EVE vs LIV.

3/5 FTs used (Burgess to VVD, Isak to Ndiaye and Flekken to Pickford).
Ass man activated on Moyes.
Salah C.
OR 84k.
Moral of the story is dont do early transfers.
Good luck all!!!
