I went very defcon/solio heavy in the second half of the season so not a surprise I did better here versus FPL Review.
Sad to get a negvar year when the underlying performance was strong but there we go, onto next year!
Won’t be playing WC Fantasy, too much sleep loss
198 points of DEFCON and it shows in my season summary which is full of DEFCON + premium attackers.
I don’t like the addition of DEFCON into FPL but I think analytics managers benefited from it (models better at projecting probability of it and less variance of returns).

Very happy with the below, particularly given I ceded ~5EV in GW36-37 for ++risk.
+78 on Bullet Wisdom per @SolioAnalytics.
105th globally under EV (mins) and 6th in the AE1k for minutes per @fplreview.
Captaincy killed my rank.
Probably not enough for AE64, we’ll see.

GW38 - 64 and a green from 50k->39k.
A good year for me, sadly all of the creative risks I took GW30-38 didn’t pay off and hence wasn’t the great year it could have been with small margins like 2x TC fails but we go again.
Analytics dominating #FPL *again*, well done all.
GW37 - 43 and a monster red from 25k to 50k.
On the pitch, *everything* went wrong bar a Michael Keane assist.
I have no complaints seeing as I consciously made a risk based team very capable of halving/doubling rank to chase a Top 10k.
1FT for 38, we wait for City info. #FPL
@FPL_Stormz For my team specifically? Let’s see what happens with the Man City team and what I can do with my 1x FT as a result. As it stands would feel confident given the differentials I have I could clear 20+ in any GW (but also as shown this GW can go the other way)!
Into GW37, my aim was to have a team with good EV that could easily get 30 points of luck in 2 GWs.
I achieved that outcome for GW37 (15), sadly it went the wrong way.
Fine margins with DCL 96” goal/Saka DEFCON vs Ndiaye spurning 2on1/Thiago sitter. Thats football and #FPL.
My approach to GW37:
I am 24 pts off the Top 10k, and so with safety lag need ~30 points of positive variance to reach my goal.
Keane, Ndiaye and Palmer are all great EV with sub 10% EO and so will keep all.
I will start Verbruggen and Van Hecke and bench DCL for COVAR
(1/6)
GW37 - Senesi + J Pedro -> Gabriel + Thiago (2/2FTs), with Ndiaye C and DCL benched.
Thoughts on both of these calls in the thread below. I bought Thiago over any of the <10% EO MIDs because I just prefer the line (maybe Bowen next week) and EV.

Late change: Ndiaye in for JP as I make the most of this only opportunity to start this generational talent at 0.3% EO in the Elite 1000 before the bandwagon starts next week ahead of DGW24. Good luck all.
