How to Use Data to do better in Fantasy Football
I’ve also made all the statistics public online.
Check out the website I built to display all the statistics:
I used data and made it into the top 1% on Fantasy Premier League.
After the 100 day shutdown of football and consequently the Fantasy Premier League competition the return to football was greatly anticipated. Even without fan presence at games people were desperate for the return of the beautiful game. The return of football was interesting as allowances had to be made so that the season could be finished as swiftly and as uninterrupted as possible. This resulted in a ‘festival of football’ in which there were games almost every day for six weeks. To account for the delay and how the season has changed over the last 100 days Fantasy Premier League (FPL) allowed unlimited free transfers before the first game of the return. This, of course, was a major opportunity.
There are no difficult maths involved in this, it’s something anyone with a very basic understanding of any programming language (even excel) could do in an afternoon.
