Preview Movie – Rate My Team – Part One

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.

      I like Snoddy as a fourth mid...I liked Sterling as a fifth mid but sold him because I got Puncheon. Not sure Sterling is going to be all that nailed on for the rest of the season. I wouldn't rush to sell either unless you have a big masterplan that is worth pursuing.

    oh, I forgot, Fellaini's price will be protected for 8 days or so once his flag gets removed, so chances are he won't rise that much until after DGW, might just get caz back first for DGW then get Fellaini the GW after or on wc.

    Got bottom of last page, so far 2 pick A.

    Would you rather have

    a) Walcott + Berba (and GW 24 WC.)
    or
    b) Yaya + Defoe (and GW 23 WC.)

    I don’t mind doing GW 23 WC since all I need is 1 or 2 transfers to ‘fix’ my team after DGW, but there’s uncertainty due to last day transfers.

    Yaya is good vs Stoke, and Defoe has some sweet fixtures
    but my gut is telling me that Walcott is due to good points this GW after having more days rest and Berba seems to be going up now.

    SO which one?

Chicha has proved he can come of the bench and score 1 or 2 in not very many minutes, a la Dzeko, but unlike Dzeko, the Rags are on fire up front,r egardless who is playing and who they ARE playing.

            It's a punt, but im fine with it. Let's face it, United have Welbeck, Hernandez and RVP until early to mid January. I have two of them.

    What does everyone think of this potential wildcard front 8?

    Gerrard/Mata/Bale/Michu/Puncheon
    RVP/Berbatov/Ba

    Concerns: no Arsenal attack, potential Ba problem depending on transfer destination. Any thoughts?

      Gallas is too much of a rotation risk for my liking... Only Vertonghen and Walker are truly nailed on in the Spurs defence - and their prices reflect that...

      Michu probably a doubt for the game so Taarabt is an ideal replacement if he does miss out. Team is good.
