Preview Movie – Rate My Team – Part Two

4,046 Comments
Share

Our second preview movie of the Rate My Team tool, arriving soon in the members area, gets to the juicy bit. In this movie you’ll see how Rate My Team can help you analyse your existing Fantasy Premier League squad, provide you with roadmap for your team selections and captain choices, and allow you to model a new squad for your January Wildcard.

Chris Atkinson, the creator of the Rate My Team model, again joins me for this movie, be sure to check out our first effort here for some further background on Rate My Team.

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 would have seen in our first 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. You’ll see this at play in the movie below, as I tinker with my replacement for Marouane Fellaini and scrap my squad to start building my January Wildcard selection.

When will Rate My Team be available?
We’re looking to roll out the Rate My Team tool for our members on January 1.

    Right lads, what are your thoughts on:

    Michu ➡ Walcott for a -4?

    Selling value of Michu is 7.9 and he could drop to 8 by next week so won’t be losing out on too much with him.

    My replacement for Michu (if I didn't sell him) would be Sterling, and I am more than happy to play him this week. Also, if I do this transfer, it means I'll have taken 4 hits in the last 5 weeks.

    I can always just get Walcott next week anyway.

    It's a tricky one, opinions? 😕

      I could do the same, but I'm not even sure if Michu will drop that much. If he is back for the 1st Jan, he might even only drop 0.1, and then be back for the Villa game.

      I'm banking on QPR - Liverpool being 4-4.

      With his high ownership he will be transferred out heavily.
