Here’s the return for fantasy premier league GW4 of the bookies team, the underlying stats team and the new bandwagons team to assess some alternate FPL strategies
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GW4 – THE ALTERNATE FFGEEK TEAMS
Here we look at 3 different ways of setting up your FPL team. I really enjoy this as everything is picked by formula so no procrastination required.
THE BOOKIES TEAM
The bookies team finished with an OR of 6k last season
The bookies team was set up by picking the best anytime goal scoring odds for attacking players and clean sheet odds for defenders for the next game only with no reference toofuture fixtures.
2 transfers are made every 2 weeks unless there’s an injury or a gametime risk. The 2 transfers will seek to improve the overall odds for the 11 players forecast to play. The captain will be the player with the best ATGS odds.
The team will be predominantly 4-3-3 as it will seek to have 3 premium forward options as captains
GW3 Pts: 44 pts (av 43 pts) Total points 171 OR: 589k TV: £100.1m
Here’s the GW3 points:
Here’s the lineup for GW4.
2 transfers used. Willian looks like he could lose his place this week so he went with Redmond coming in as the best odds for the price. The other replacement was Schindler out for Ben Mee. Choupo Moting looks a starting doubt but there was no one at his price with any sort of odds to replace him.
Lacazette with the best anytime goal scoring odds was the captain choice
THE SHOTS IN THE BOX TEAM
Last season the underlying stat was shots on target. That team finished with a 77k OR. This season we’ve gone for shots in the box as the underlying stat of choice. The team was set up with the players with the best shots in the box stats from last season within a certain team structure. Defence has aimed to be set and forget.
Captain choice will be the player highest in the captain polls. Transfers will be 2 every 2 weeks except for injury replacing the lowest rank player for stats with the highest rank within a general team structure
GW3 Pts: 47 pts (av 43 pts) Total points 126 OR: 2.912m TV: £99.8m
Here’s the GW3 points:
Here’s the GW4 lineup. 1 transfer used to replace the injured Kompany. I put Jones in not realising De Gea was the GK so inadvertently double United defence
I’ve gone for a 5 man defence as they all had such good odds even compared to Ayew
Captain Kane as the highest in the polls
THE BANDWAGONS TEAM
This is a new team this season. The team was set up with the highest ownership players at the start of the season again within a team structure. Except when there’s injuries, 2 transfers every 2 weeks replacing the most transferred out players with the most transferred in. Transfers will be done early in that week in order to maximise team value. The captain will be the highest player in the polls.
GW3 Pts: 43 pts (av 43 pts) Total points 155 OR: 1.299m TV: £99.8m
Here’s the GW3 points:
Here’s the lineup for GW4.
2 transfers. The 2 most transferred out players were Chicharito and Kane so both are out replaced by the 2 most transferred in. Morata and Firmino. Lukaku takes the armband as the poll leader
