Fantasy Football Robot had a reasonably successful week in GW24, scoring 40% precision by making 15 predictions of players that would score 6 points or more and being correct in 6 of them.
Goalies: 0 or 1 correct, 0% precision. Predicted Hart. Wrong again.
Defenders: 4 out of 4 correct, 100% precision. FFR correctly identified that Chelsea would keep a clean sheet at Man City. A very rare feat was that all Defenders avoided getting a yellow card, thus keeping each of them the correct side of 6 points. The next most fancied side to keep a clean sheet (with probabilities narrowly less than 50%) was Southampton and indeed, they succeeded as well.
Midfielders: 2 out of 7 correct, 28.6% precision. Cazorla and Adam Johnson correct.
Forwards: 0 out of 3 correct, 0% precision. Suarez, Dzeko and Adebayor all missed the mark.
FFR Utd, the team formed by the highest probability players, scored 51 points. Compare this to 45 for the average human team, 16 (just 16!) for Random Wanderers (a team of randomly chosen players) and 55 for Moneybags City (a team of the most expensive players). FFR Utd’s points came from Chelsea defenders and Adam Johnson.
