Here’s the return for fantasy premier league GW6 of the bookies team, the underlying stats team and the bandwagons team to assess some alternate FPL strategies. I’ve also added an expected goals team.
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE GW6 – THE ALTERNATE FFGEEK TEAMS
Here we look at 4 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
GW5 Pts: 41 pts (av 58 pts) Total points 270 OR: 897k TV: £100.1m
Here’s the GW5 points:
Here’s the lineup for GW6.
The suspended Luiz was replaced by the best clean sheet odds of Man City with Mendy chosen. Kane had the best anytime goal scoring odds
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
GW5 Pts: 49 pts (av 58 pts) Total points 228 OR: 2.832m TV: £99.8m
Here’s the GW5 points:
Here’s the lineup for GW6
1 transfer the suspended Luiz out for Mendy as City had the least shots in the box conceded
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.
GW5 Pts: 64 pts (av 58 pts) Total points 266 OR: 1.053m TV: £100.2m
Here’s the GW5 points:
The suspended Luiz was replaced by the highest transferring defender in Lascelles
Here’s the lineup for GW6
The expected goals team
This has been changed to an expected goals team a couple of weeks ago by wildcard. Same theory transfer every 2 weeks except for injury, place lost or suspension. Transfers will be to replace lowest ranked with highest ranked subject to team structure. Captain will be poll leader
GW5 Pts: 65 pts (av 58 pts) Total points 271 OR: 1.053m TV: £100.2m
1 transfer the injured Podl out for a Newcastle defender Lascelles who’s team had the best Expected goals defence in the 4.5m price range
Here’s the GW6 lineup:
