My misery compounds. A terrible Gameweek 8 was followed by a two week break from the never ending beat-down that is FPL, which left me happy and optimistic for the oncoming Gameweek 9. How naive. A historically low scoring week, the lowest since 2015 I’ve heard, left me with a whopping 39 points, which gets […]
Another good gameweek! What a luxury. I finished this week on a comfortable 60 points, a full ten above the average. This resulted in yet another green arrow, bringing me up to 408k, meaning the damage of my disastrous post-wildcard gameweek is almost undone. For once it seems like there were clean sheets aplenty again, […]
Last week I said things couldn’t get any worse… and for once I was right! A step in the right direction, I saw a green arrow for the first time in an eternity this week. Finishing on a respectable 64 points, I went up 310k ranks all the way up to 770k, still a far […]
Well. This was perhaps my worst ever week in FPL, especially coming right off a wildcard. When I go through tough times in my personal life, I can always rely on this game to make me feel a thousand times worse, something I didn’t even think was possible. Finishing on a whopping 36 points, I […]
As we enter the international break, there is an abundance of high flying forwards to tempt managers, among these are the two similarly priced options Sébastien Haller (7.5) and Tammy Abraham (7.2), both of which have hauled for two consecutive Gameweeks leading up to the break. With great fixtures on the horizon for both of […]
Anthony Martial (7.7) and Marcus Rashford (8.5) are the two key players when it comes to scoring goals at Manchester United, and when they’re on form, they’re quite a force to be reckoned with. While the form of Utd as a whole has been somewhat off recently, the underlying stats are fantastic and suggest they’ll […]
Yikes. A bad week with a score 5 below average and a significant red arrow (-177k). Main culprits this week were Sterling and Martial, who did not manage to return to fitness and play, forcing me to play Lunny for the 3rd consecutive week, this time against Chelsea. Another shocking United performance also saw Wanny-B […]
Gameweek 3 was full of ups and downs. My first red arrow of the season, although just a very small one (down by 15k). This week was also my first hit of the season, as I took a -4 to bring in De Bruyne, Wan-Bissaka and Pukki in for the three sons: Sigurdsson, Robertson and […]
This week contained some highs and some lows, but getting 59 points and a large green arrow has significantly lifted my spirits. Now at a much more respectable rank of 123,574 , the upwards climb must continue. Another big disappointment from Liverpool has me questioning my triple up, but I’ll be giving them another chance […]
After a (brief) 5 month hiatus from the ffdeepdive project, I am finally back and ready to go for the new season! I’ll be holding off on any statistical analysis until Gameweek 2 has come and gone as one week is too small a sample size to determine anything. From now on I’ll be evaluating […]
