Thinking of creating your own FPL model?
I spent a summer building one. Nine seasons of data, a component-wise expected-points model, and a portfolio optimiser that treats the crowd as a benchmark.
Here's everything I got wrong first, so you don't have to. 🧵
GW9 Wildcard:
Risk-adjusted against the top 10k
This is at 60% view weight, the optimal blend that represents the top 10k while taking calculated risk against it. #FPL#GW9#WC#WC9
There's a mountain of accounts with their own personal models.
I'm calling out to those creators to reply to this post with their own metrics. Reply with these:
RMSE and MAE
RMSE of a flat 2.7 for every player, same rows
Avg Spearman rank correlation per GW.
Please share around
