Fantasy Football Experts’ Algorithm: Improve your OR & win mini – leagues

We had launched FFE Algorithm on Twitter before the start of FPL 2019-20 season to help the FPL Community. The idea was to provide an intelligent tool to FPL managers which will help them take decisions which they otherwise also take before every game week (GW) deadline:

What should be my playing XI for this GW?

Who should get the armband in my team?

What transfers to make for the upcoming GW?

Finally, how many points can my team score in this GW?

Enter your current squad (steps shown in below) in the “ Player Entry ” tab. You can add up to 15 players in this tab and to get an overall perspective for your team, it is best to add your current squad as it is.

Once the squad is set, click on Submit and move to the “ Projected Points ” tab. It will give you an idea of how this squad is slated to perform over the next 6 GW. Our accuracy in terms of projecting points has been in upwards of 70% and you can use this tab to understand what to expect from your team. Please note that these projections over GW10, 11 and so on are basis the exact team, bench and captain that you have selected for GW9. To get a real sense of what GW10 would look like, change your captain & bench to what you are tentatively planning for next week.

Our next tab tackles the biggest headache you have before every GW deadline – “Who should get the armband in my team” – From doing a lucky draw to asking their better halves, FPL managers have tried a lot of techniques to master this art. We can proudly say that our Captain’s projection is far more accurate and if you stick to our suggestion week on week, often your highest point scorer will be your captain at the end of GW. Go to the “ Captain Suggestion ” tab and see how the armband should move in your team. We reiterate that if you want to try this feature out, stick to our suggestion for at least 3 GWs and see the result for yourself.

Next up is our feature called “ Low Performers ” – this will give you the list of 4 players who are expected to return least points in your squad. The idea is to help you decide your bench basis this suggestion in your squad.

Lastly, the most critical feature which gives “ Transfer Advice ” for the Long Term and Short Term. The Long-Term tab gives a projected gain over the next 6 GWs whereas the Short-Term Advice tab suggests transfers with a projected gain over the next 3 GWs only. The transfer advice tab will give multiple options for you to change your players as there might be a chance that you would not want to remove certain players from your team.
