You may remember my article “fantasy premier league  – does jumping on the bandwagon work” , see link at bottom of page.   This essentially found that  if you transferred someone in who got 10 points or more in the previous round and had a home game in the next fantasy premier league gameweek that  he was virtually certain of returning a goal or assist in that game.  I thought it would be interesting to test this theory over the coming few gameweeks.  I do have to caveat this by saying it wasn’t exactly a statistically robust sample size and I was following the highest scoring players.  Lets see who got 10 points or more in the last gameweek and has a home game next and we will also continue to follow their returns over 6 games.

 There are 3 players in this category that we will follow.  By the way if you did transfer them in immediately on Gerrard and Benteke you would have had a 2 point rise so far

Christian Benteke

GW25 – 10 points 2 goals away to Everton

GW26 – Home to West Ham

Gareth Bale

GW25 – 11 points away to WBA

GW26 – Home to Newcastle

Steven Gerrard

GW25 – 10 points away to Man City

GW26 – Home to WBA

Ok see you next game week
