Fantasy Football Scout is delighted to announce that Jonty has joined the team as Community Manager from this week. Jonty has been a fantastic contributor to the site for several seasons but now joins the ranks, along with Paul, on a more permanent basis as Fantasy Football Scout continues to grow.

Jonty will be dedicated to working with the community over the season. His first task will be to recruit a team of moderators to work with us on HomeCrowd, the new comments system, to ensure that this new system helps to improve community interaction over the summer and for the season ahead.

He will also be responsible for such matters as Fantasy Football Scout cup tournaments, the Fantasy Football Scout Leagues, the weekly newsletter for members and for a series of articles that will draw on the very best community contributions and activity as the weeks roll by. It’s also pretty certain that he’ll continue to contribute to the ScoutCast, of course, bringing further community insight to the regular nonsense provided by Granville and myself.

I trust you’ll join me in welcoming Jonty as Fantasy Football Scout’s new Community Manager.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Going back to an earlier discussion on the last thread about how much luck is involved in the FPL game, It's virtually impossible to quantify, but here's a thought experiment:

    Suppose you start with 2.6m people tossing a coin. Everyone who flips a head proceeds to the next round where the process is repeated, while everyone who flips tails is eliminated. If all the coins are unbiased (i.e. the outcome is 100% down to chance), then on average it will take 22 rounds of coin tossing before you end up with 1 person left who has flipped 22 heads in a row.

    Now suppose that instead of being 50/50, the coins are biased so that 70% of the time they come up heads (analogous to introducing an element of skill into the game). After 22 rounds the probability suggests you now have on average 1,017 people who have flipped 22 heads in a row. After 38 rounds when the game ends, you still have 3 people on average who have managed to flip a heads 38 times in a row. To finish in the top 10,000 of this game you would need to flip 18 heads in a row.

    Of course, the chances of flipping a heads so many times in a row are pretty low for any given individual, but if your sample size of attempts is large enough, the probabilities show that it becomes inevitable that a few people will do exactly that, despite luck being the main driver of the outcome.

    I'm not suggesting this is a perfect analogy for the FPL game - to start with, the difference between a good gameweek and a bad one is not as binary as a heads/tails coin toss, it's possible to get 38 green arrows in a season and still have a rubbish rank, and it doesn't explain repeat success in multiple seasons. Nonetheless I think it does begin to illustrate the extent to which random luck plays a major part in getting a high rank when there are so many players involved.

    Consider also that you could have picked the following team for £100m at the start of the season and scored nearly 2,300 points without making a single transfer, bench or captain switch. That's good enough for a top 1500 rank. Add in a bit of bench switching to account for injuries and suspensions and you could have easily topped the overall ranks with this team without making a single transfer all season:

    Begovic
    Baines | Mertesacker | O'Brien
    Bale | Cazorla | Michu | Fellaini
    RVP (c) | Suarez | Benteke

    Bench: Jaaskelainen, Bassong, Davies, Nolan

    Bottom line is I think luck plays a bigger part in being successful than us players would like to think.

      Its a combination of luck, common sense and knowledge. The percentage that is determined by luck is dependent on the other two for each individual. The more common sense and knowledge you have the less luck involved. I would say it varies from 80% luck for some of the players with little clue what they are doing to about 30% luck for the guys who literally know it all. For everyone there is massive amount of variance in any FPL decision.

          Autofill isn't the same though. We don't all choose from every player in the league. About half of the premier league players we can discount straight away. There is a pot of around 50 players, so it's all about getting the right combination of these.

        You mean for the 2,300 points figure I mentioned? I just totted up the total scores for each of the 11 players, then added on RVP's score again (to reflect captaincy). It actually came to 2,292 points to be precise.

        I then played around manually (no program unfortunately) with the weekly scores of the 15 players to factor in benching decisions. Still with RVP (c) every week, I got to 2,600 points just by making the right benching decisions each week.

There built around his style and I don't believe anyone stoke can aim for can do the job better than him when it comes to hoofing the ball and tackling hard... Not only that I don't think stokes players are versatile enough to change style
