Killing it this season 🔥🔥
GL 🫡

I have double Forrest defence same as HM, we’re doomed

This looks really cool

Oh agreed. GL for this GW 🫡

Having this dilemma, how do you usually handle his. Would you rather transfer a player in to have a stronger bench, or save the transfer and re-evaluate the situation next GW?

Okk thanks again. This was really helpful 🫡
Good luck on trying to win the whole thing 😉

Oh great and thanks for the reply!!
Are the projected points you post based on your model ?

Hello, I’ve been meaning to start playing FantasyNBA for a while and kept putting it off. Then I stumbled on your account and saw the similarities with FPL in projected points. Can you please tell me where to start as an FantasyNBA noob and where do you get your data? Any help would be appreciated 😁

If you don’t mind me asking, how does one go about calculating attack and defense ratings. Is it a cumulative sum throughout the weeks or is it an average? Also, is there a weight given to older vs newer weeks?

What I think about when I think about football.

I tried writing a longer article for those curious about modelling football matches. In a way, it is what I wish I could have read five years ago.

Happy New Year everyone 💜

Appreciate the reply 🙌🏽

Hey John, beautiful viz 😍😍. Just out of curiosity, what’s the easiest way to scrap npxG per game from fbref?

Okay thanks, appreciate the reply 🫡

Sorry to bother again. What data did you find useful when calculating team strengths? xG, xGA, goals, goals conceded…

Mystery Chip = Assistant Manager chip!

Here's the calendar up to GW38.

If EVE vs LIV is rescheduled before GW30 then my chip strategy will probably be:

Wildcard in GW30
Assistant Manager in GWs 31-33 (inc. DGW33)
Free Hit in BGW34
Bench Boost in DGW36
Triple Captain Salah in the EVE vs LIV DGW

Thanks! I strongly recommend Ep 2 of the CoU podcast: podfollow.com/1531632125/v... and this excellent article on FPL analytics: alpscode.com/blog/intro-t.... I used data from football-data.co.uk (you can download lots of historical data from here. FBREF.com is another big source of data

Thanks for the reply 🫡🫡🫡. Yeah honestly it’s very intriguing/ intimidating. Would love to give it a try sometime.

Amazing work! Just out of curiosity, would it be possible for you to explain to us noobs how can someone build a model? How to get the data (which data as well) and the steps needed to build it. I understand this may be too much to ask but it’s extremely interesting.

Trying something new:
A 🧵 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their 📊 look more professional than my 📊?"

It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social
