Preview Movie – Rate My Team – Part One
Filed under: Site Features - Posted by: Mark
Following on from our Hall of Fame preview on Christmas Day, we’re now able to show you a glimpse of the full “Rate My Team” funcitionality that we’re looking to add to the Members Area for the January Wildcards.
Chris Atkinson, the creator of the Rate My Team model, again joins me for this movie, the first of two that we’ve produced to show you have Rate My Team works.
What is Rate My Team?
Rate My team is a statistical model built specifically to assess every player in the Premier League and return their expected values for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in a given Gameweek. The system is a complex and thorough one which, of course, plots the probabilities of a player’s time on the pitch, their expected number of goals, assists, bonus points, yellow and red cards, clean sheets, own goals, goals conceded and saves. The strength of the opponent they are facing in a given Gameweek is also crucial; so every team has a attacking, defensive rating, every player a probability of playing a given match with injuries, suspensions and international absence factored in.
You can find out more about Rate My Team here, or, of course, in the movie below.
How Can It Help Me?
If you’re a member you can use the Rate My Team tool in a number of ways. Firstly, you can use it as a projections tool to predict what specific players will score, on average, over the next X number of Gameweeks. As you’ll see in the movie, you have a players table that can filtered by position or FPL cost and which can be extended to show any number of Gameweeks. You can also sort on “Value” to find those players projected to offer the best points per million return.
However, this is just one part of the functionality. Rate My Team can also analyse your existing FPL lineup, recommend captains, vice captains your bench and bench order and allow you to model your future transfers. In the second “My Team” movie, we’ll show you this functionality in full.
Rather than post your team in the comments on the main site, our members can now enter their FPL code in Rate My Team and it will immediately offer you an appraisal of your squad. In a nutshell, it should prove rather useful for the January wildcard, when so many of us look to reconstruct our sides. Using Rate my Team you can transfer players in and out of your team and get an immediate appraisal of the impact of that transfer.
When will Rate My Team be available?
We’re looking to roll out the Rate My Team tool for our members on January 1.

Grosskreutz doesn't play in the hole... He's a left milf. » -
He is the only player other than Gotze who plays in the hole, so definitely yes. » -
Reread and change My vote...if Gomez starts, definetely get Him because You're chasing. » -
Is Kevin Grosskreutz first team choice? »
-
Thanks guys, I Think You should get lewa. If Gomez starts Then he'll be in My team too, but I Think he wont start. »

Keep/get Madzukic, then. Whichever Bayern striker starts, he must be there in your team. And talking about Pizarro… »
“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Number51 says:
Bego McCarthy
Enrique Davies Demel Cuellar Nelsen
Sterling Bale Silva Taarabt Michu
RVP Suarez Aguero
1FT .6 in bank.
A) Cuellar – > Sagna
B) Silva – > Walcott/Santi/Mata
C) Other?
Getting annoyed at my City total failure taking up so much of my bank, planning to do Aguero – > Ba come gw 21. No matter who he plays for.
Also want to kneejerk in Berba after ‘Keep calm and pass me the ball’
December 27 at 8:32 pm
Chris says:
Is it worth going SWP & Rafael > Walcott & Davies (-4).
Leaves me with
Bego (Jaask)
Enrique Nelsen Davies
Bale Michu Mata Walcott

Most people holding on to Michu even if he’s out for up to 3 weeks?
I’d only get 7.4m if I transfer him out…
December 27 at 8:33 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
He’s not out for 3 weeks though…
December 27 at 8:33 pm

My ML leader is doing it, so I may be forced to to keep pace.
December 27 at 8:48 pm
Zidane~SpartakMac says:
Wow didn’t think panic would ensue.
Up to 3 weeks = 1,2 OR 3 weeks. Hopefully for us lot it’ll just be the Fulham match. I was merely speculating, cynically expecting the worse.
This is coming from an Arsenal fan lads…We get the news Diaby/Rosicky are 2 weeks away which actually translates to 5 months.

What are Baines owners doing? Surely it’s time to ship? Or hang on for one more..

RMSquad?
Begovic – Foster
Jose Enrique – Sagna – Davies – Clyne – Gorkss

Cheers!
December 27 at 8:37 pm
Nick says:
Ok, I’ll say it again, it looks great.
December 27 at 8:38 pm
Gratuzo says:
Nice, maybe you could do something with Sterling – Enrique duo
December 27 at 8:44 pm
NickyKids says:
You ask for a lot of RMT’s…
It looks fine btw
December 27 at 8:51 pm
Dealbert says:
Looks great. This is more or less what I aim for with my own team. Gorkss –> Demel (when fit) for the DGW maybe….
December 27 at 8:35 pm
zephi says:
1. Michu > Walcott (FT)
2. Sterling + Tevez > Walcott and Benteke (-4)
Best option people?

so i just went for a shower there..come back on and michu is getting his ankle amputated?
December 27 at 8:37 pm
McTheKnife says:
will he keep his foot though????
December 27 at 8:37 pm
False no.2 says:
Yep get rid before his price falls hehe it’s a goldmine hehehe yehaa!
December 27 at 8:38 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
yes, thereby rendering his foot useless as it will no longer be attached to him
December 27 at 8:47 pm
Area16 says:
Is there a rule that the scoring foot has to be attached? He could use it as a bat.
December 27 at 8:40 pm
Pratik says:
I think he’s gonna be out for Fulham, but anything else is not concrete at all. Just predictions. The papers are often wrong about injury.
If you got him late, and aren’t gonna lose much cash you can make the trade though. If you brought him early, wait for official news.
December 27 at 8:37 pm
konig_luther says:
worth doing a -4 hit to bring walcott instead morrison?
December 28 at 12:05 pm
Gn1us says:
what james morrison! yes do it! ive been trying to get rid of him for ages!
December 27 at 8:38 pm
Smurf says:
My team for next week:
Begovic
Baines / G.Johnson / Vertonghen
Bale / Silva / Walcott / Taarabt
Suarez / Torres / Berbatov
Foster / Puncheon / Nelsen / Shorey
1 FT & 1.2 in the bank
I’m considering Silva to Valencia
Any thoughts?
December 27 at 8:39 pm
McTheKnife says:
no, valencia is poor this yr….why not Mata?
or ditch shorey
December 27 at 8:38 pm
Holy see says:
Most people holding on to Michu even if he’s out for up to 8 weeks with hamstring & medial ligament damage?
December 27 at 8:42 pm

Those people are just saddos

Hi guys,
3.1M in bank, 0 FT, any hits needed?
Begovic
Evra, Luiz, Demel*
Sterling, Michu*, Bale, Young
RVP, Tevez, Berbatov
Jussi, Snodgrass, Cuelllar, Cameron*
Thinking Walcott in for Sterling?
cheers!

New post lads and not the one I was expecting
http://www.fantasyfootballscou.....nt-4703485
December 27 at 8:44 pm
Nice to Michu says:
Some thoughts:
AVL vs top 5: conceded 25 in 6 games
AVL vs rest: conceded 11 in 13 games
AVL fixtures: WIG swa SOU wba NEW (i.e. no top 5 in sight)
So I’ll be getting Clark, even though he’s shipped 12 in 2, as I need a nailed on defender with good fixtures.
Can’t wait to do Fellaini for Yaya in time for EVE vs new SWA sou WBA AVL
Wanted a Wilkinson yellow at the weekend, just to see how Stoke would line up and cope -3 regular Defs
Kenwyne Jones slowly turning back into a Beast? A 5.0m Beast!
Feel sorry for Newcastle and all their injuries. Midfield vs ars likely to be:
Cisse Perch Tiote Bigirama Marveaux
Evra can’t keep scoring but will keep conceding, not interested in the slightest at that price
December 27 at 8:47 pm
Nice to Michu says:
great post timing fail

Personally I don’t see the RMT as a good addition. It removes the entire point of the game
December 27 at 8:55 pm
BestTeamInOrange says:
Ikr everyone would have the same team then…
December 27 at 9:08 pm
Hopper says:
Exactly! There would be no questions like “who should I go for Silva or Mata?” etc. Its all well and good researching yourself but to have it as a common thing makes it quite boring and predictable

What would win in a fight — a Honey Badger, or a Wolverine?

Az says:
I think this is a fantastic feature. it will help members have the edge over non members. Statistics are what they are… Statistics. Football has a habit of going against all statistics (stoke conceding in the first minute and scoring thre goals anyone?) but ‘rate mt team’ will stop all the thousands of rmts on here and create new arguments, people arguing against the projected returns and being proud when they ignore the statistics and make different decisions.
I would personally look at it as an improved match ticker. I don’t think it’s going to revolutionise this site but I think the projected returns will provide valuable information for members and the stats will be of an asset to people weighing up different options. Great work.

Is Defoe or luiz going up tonight?

begovic
caulker, Enrique, Gibbs, shawcross, shorey
taarabt, Mata, bale, sterling, michu
rvp, benteke, Suarez

what number is the ffs team does anyone no?
December 28 at 10:29 pm
Volk says:
I hate myself for doing this but I’ve bought van Persie, which I swore I’d never do. It’s only because Rooney’s injured and I had money spare.
So how am I looking for this GW?
