Here’s 3 FFGeek FPL teams GW4 which I do for a bit of fun and another way of getting ideas for player selection. There’s a bookies team, an expected goals team and a template team. I’ll be playing them through the season to see how they do
FPL teams GW4 – the bookies, expected goals and the template teams
No commentary unfortunately given the time pressure
The Bookies team
The team finished with a disappointing OR of 130k last season but an impressive one the previous season of 6k. It’s having an absolute nightmare start this season
The team this season will be initially set up differently. I’ve taken a bookies top goalscorer projections and then put players in at various price points to reflect that . The defence and GKs were the top 3 teams to win the league and then the top teams with £4.5m defenders/GKs in them
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.
Here’s the teams points
GW3 points: 52 (average 50) Total points 156, Gameweek rank 2,284k, Overall Rank: 2,564k, green arrow 173k, Team Value: £100.0m
transfer is Richarlison out as suspended and Pedro in
Here’s the lineup for GW4:
The expected goals team
The first year with the team last season and it finished a reasonably respectable 47k OR
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. I get these stats free from the excellent site understat.
There won’t be enough data until at least GW6 to rely on and maybe longer so until then it will be relying on last seasons data which will make for a difficult start
Here’s the teams GW3 points:
GW3 points: 46 (average 50) Total points 216, Gameweek rank 3,394k, Overall Rank: 155k, red arrow 49k, Team Value: £100.8m
transfer was the suspended Richarlison out for Walcott who was the best xG/xA pts option
The GW4 lineup
The template team
This is just to show the template team that will be set from my top 10 FPL managers articles.
Captain will be poll leader. Transfers every 2 weeks barring injury etc
Here’s the team points from GW3
GW3 points: 43 (average 50) Total points 223, Gameweek rank 3,905k, Overall Rank: 92k, red arrow 47k, Team Value: £101.5m
The transfers were, you guessed it, the suspended Richarlison out for Walcott
The lineup for GW4
That’s it. I will try and do these weekly articles as they are one of my favourites to do it’s just at the end of the to do list and has been sacrificed last season.
