Then just swap one for Doherty or Bennett in this model to make it more realistic. This would be a solid team if you do that. I'm using FPL tools V1. I want to know this too, Martials predicted points are crazy. It says he'll get 54 points in the next 5 and that includes games against Liverpool and Arsenal.. He has already scored 5 games in a row, quite unrealistic for this hot streak to continue in that fashion. I calculated expected goals check code for that , then subtracted EG from actual goals.

I named the resultant the -1 and the 2 Gaccuracy goal accuracy. To find player worth, I multiplied Gaccuracy by 1. This is how I ranked players. Price and points were not considered, but goals are worth a lot of points, so it's self explanatory why I chose goals. Can't wait to see how close you get. I do something similar for team expected goals using my own model and I found it to be really accurate in picking out low scoring games. I use it to choose defenders when I have the time. I know u like Allison but surely ederson as the only keeper with an assist should be in here ,if anyone's scoring this season it's him taking a pen when titles wrapped up imo.

Goalkeepers weren't even in the calculation, I just wanted Alison because of personal opinions. You can completely ignore the GK selection. Coincidentally, I was looking at goalkeeper stats earlier and I believe Schmeichel vs Man United in GW1 is the only one to take a shot so far. This team set and forget would be on points without counting subs which means that it would be even higher scoring in reality. Not to mention captain, which would be even more points.

Unless you're counting Sterling set and forget captain. Interesting, I'm a software dev and a idea for a pet project I've been thinking about was trying to predict a good team. Is the data easy to get once you know where to look? Scraping data was the part I struggled with the most. Not a big fan of fantrax ironic but it gave me the basics. If I had the ability to scrape whatever website I wanted premier league official looks fantastic I think my results would be great and I can come to different outcomes.

Finding data, easy as hell Yeah data isn't my strongest suit, but it would be an interesting learning experience. Ok great I'll check that out thanks. Was about to look at my team and see who I could change around for this weekend.

I then said "Oh fuck" out loud after remembering it's interfucking national break. This is interesting stuff - good work. Could flesh it out a lot more as you progress with this project, and a few questions come to mind:. I assume assists is easy, but CS you will need to calculate yourself somehow. I think I chose the absolute cheapest in each position.

If you wildcard this team in, update me on how it goes! Love this sort of work! I was wondering whether you considered breaking Shots down even further into 'Shots inside the Box' and 'Shots outside the Box'? Through previous years of playing FPL the number of shots inside the box has been my most prioritized stat for prediction more so than shots on target as I've assumed that they inherently carry a higher shot accuracy which your correlation matrix suggests is not important and higher conversion rate. Maybe this was a completely incorrect assumption, but I am curious if you considered it.

Also, did you teach yourself how to do all of this recently, or was this through years of experience and formal learning? I've been interested in doing something similar, or at least being able to pull and process data, and am working my way through FightingLikeBeaver's guide, but are there any resources you would recommend using or working through?

I took a formal data science class through my university for the past two months, this was the final project. Well in that case I'll take my time, try my best to learn from online resources and hopefully come up with something useful next season. Hopefully you get the time to do that as I'm sure a lot of people here would be excited to see the results! I was really surprised with that correlation of fouls and goals in your matrix and is something that's been on my mind for most of the day. I'm wondering if it has to do with managers giving instructions to foul more 'dangerous' players, forward players strikers tend to be better at dribbling, or are more often in positions where a tactical foul is better than letting them get away maybe all of those reasons.

All speculation of course, but it's what makes analysis like yours so enjoyable imo. My Jimenez to Murray transfer back then was logical seeing this. Only downside is Jimenez overperforming ever since I took him out. You can either click the link in my code that goes to Fantrax, copy my code, or go to FightingLikeBeavers tutorial and follow his step by step instructions.

How is Martial in here and not Salah? Salah as more goals and has 3x the shots that Martial has. The linear regression forms an algorithm that calculates how many goals Salah should have based on his shots, fouls suffered, and games played. Martial has a PlayerWorth I named this after the equation using expected goals, based on the criteria previously stated and future 3 fixtures of 3.

Taken By The Team (Humiliation and Gangbang Fantasies Fulfilled)

In this model, Salah should have more goals from the amount of shots, fouls suffered, and games played that he has- I think that's widely agreed upon Liverpool fans like myself- watching him play, he takes a lot of shots that don't end up in a goal this season. Why would you rather have Martial over Salah just because Martial has a higher conversion rate misses less chances?

See a Problem?

Salah gets so many more chances than Martial, but because Martial converts a higher percentage of his chances we should go for Martial? It basically takes all of the data points in each category for every player and measures the relation. If you look at goals, you can see which stats are related to who scores goals. Great code but to criticize, have you tested it without? It might be that it won't contribute to the model with that low correlation, but rather add more noise?

While at the TCA Press Tour for the NBC presentation, Collider got the opportunity to sit down with actor Clive Standen for this 1-on-1 interview about what they learned from Season 1, why they wanted to shift the focus of Season 2, why the physical demands of the series never get any easier, how the dynamic of the team has evolved and changed, and the journey that Bryan Mills goes on this season. Looking back on Season 1, when do you think the show was at its best and what did you want to build on for Season 2?

He needed to come out of one world, which is the Green Berets, into an entire different world, which is the CIA and black ops.

  6. Thankfully, the people who invested in the show and NBC gave it Season 2. Now, with a new showrunner Greg Plageman and a new dynamic to the team, it allows us to start picking away at the Liam Neeson character from the films, which is a man who is unstoppable, relentless and selfless. Because his opponents are meatheads who are driven by one thing, which is usually greed or money or power, he is vulnerable and is emotionally connected to each and every one of his missions. We want to watch this guy kick down doors and save his daughter.

    It reminds me, at times, of a show I used to love growing up, which is The Equalizer. No, because every time you do it easily, you set a precedent and they just make it harder on you for the next episode. They write bigger, and at the end of the day, you just want to strangle them, but I love it.
