Analytics Elite 64 (+Qualifier) are running again this year. As usual, apply though the v short form
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
A few upgrades to the sites linear optimisation tool in advance of GW29
- Sensitivity Analysis added!
- Chip plans now solved at once, rather than sequentially
- Solver setting interface updated
- Live output + ability to exit solves early added
- Results now downloadable as a .jpg
Details below
Step 5 of 5 complete✅
The Chip Timing function now has the Assistant Manager chip integrated.
This is the last of the 5 milestones, though there are still a few bits and pieces to tidy up
I'd suggest considering risk preferences when timing chips, as there will be big swings based on activation

Visualising the strength of the Premier League "Big Six" with a long-term moving average of their xG dominance: a (logged) ratio of their xG relative to their xGA.

A table displaying ownership rates of Salah and Haaland in two FPL manager groups.
Salah and Haaland ownership% in Analytics Elite 64 and Elite64 minileagues
Elite64 managers were less keen to start with Salah, but were quicker to pick him up for GW4/5, and much keener to double up with Haaland for that period.
AE64 managers were quicker to drop Haaland for Salah in GW10.
