Each week we are reviewing the aggregated predictions on Superbru’s Premier League Predictor game, using the collective Wisdom of the Crowd predictions to guide our fantasy football thinking.
Please join the FFS league here and add your own predictions to the data – the more there are, the more accurate the crowd should be (in theory).
GAMEWEEK 25 REVIEW
Only the wins for Liverpool and Manchester City were a given in Round 25, whilst just 1% expected Chelsea to lost to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, and a mere one person in the whole game predicted a 0-3 scoreline.
Swansea’s second big scalp in a row was also a shock, and perhaps the crowd will start to give them more credit as they climb the table.
Here are the Gameweek 25 results in descending order of predictability:

Well done to Radoslav Petrasek from the UK for winning the Yellow Cap in Round 25, with three exact score picks.
It was also a huge week for Mr Crowd Wisdom – using the aggregated predictions of the crowd – who climbed 18 places up to 34th in the FFS pool, out of over 460 people.
The aggregated predictions of the community are making better predictions than most individual players in the game, suggesting that there is credibility in the Wisdom of the Crowd concept.
GAMEWEEK 26 PREVIEW
Here is the Expected Goals chart for each fixture in GW26:

And here is the ranking of teams in order of Expected Goals Scored and Conceded:

This weekend looks a little lighter on the goalscoring front, according to the crowd. Manchester United are at the summit of the predicted goals table for the first time in a while, with a tempting home fixture versus Huddersfield, which might bring Alexis Sanchez back into consideration.
Manchester City are also predicted to do well, as usual, whilst people are keeping faith in Chelsea, who people think will score at least two goals away at Watford.
The Man United defence looks essential, with few people giving Huddersfield a chance of scoring at Old Trafford, whilst Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and West Brom are fancied in the budget defensive bracket.

Is there anything that catches your eye in these predictions?
Good luck!
