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).

And don’t forget there is £20,000 on offer every week if you get a full house of predictions.

GAMEWEEK 34 REVIEW

West Brom’s win at Old Trafford was the biggest update of the season so far, predicted by less than 1% of the Superbru community.

That upset caused much consternation for fantasy managers with lofty expectations of double gameweek returns, but thankfully results became slightly more predictable as the round unfolded, delivering some much-needed points at the same time.

Here are the Gameweek 34 results in descending order of predictability:

Gerdus Taljaard from South Africa won the Yellow Cap in the Fantasy Football Scout league with 10 correct picks, including the Newcastle win over Arsenal and West Ham’s draw with Stoke.

Mr Crowd Wisdom  – using the aggregated predictions of the crowd – is in 11th place in FFS pool out of over 480 players.

The aggregated predictions of the community are making better predictions than most individual players in the game, lending significant credibility in the Wisdom of the Crowd concept.

The crowd’s average picks have now taken the Crowd Wisdom user into the top 2% on the global leaderboard.

GAMEWEEK 35 PREVIEW

It could be three goals each for Manchester City and Liverpool this weekend, according to the crowd predictions, whilst they are also expected to keep things tight at the back.  Those with the Free Hit chip will be judging how best to distribute their three-player allocation between attack and defence.

Arsenal and Burnley are also expected to be among the top-performing teams this week, and their players could be worth backing too.

Here are the aggregated predictions that we’ll enter for Mr Crowd Wisdom this week.

Thank you for the positive feedback on these articles this season, hopefully they have added some value.  As we get to the final few weeks, any further comments on what you’d like to see might be useful to see if we can develop this further for the World Cup and into next year.

Good luck!

    Looking good for those stocking up on Liverpool and Man City assets.

      Triple City and triple Liverpool attack looks tasty

        Triple City defence does too.

        Yep - that's what I'm doing.

        With Zaha as my seventh attacker....looks great on paper, but I've been there before with such expectation.

    KdB has 1 assist in 6 gameweeks. I'm going D.Silva instead.

      Silva's your man for away games. KDB for home comforts.

      Last 6 home matches

      KDB 5 assists, 1 goal
      Silva 1 assist, 0 goals

        As an ammendment to this = FPL Partridge over on Twitter has pointed out that Fernandinho out could be more key for KDB's returns. He scores badly when the Brazilian is out so far this season. Meanwhile in the only home game where Fern was out Silva grabbed 9 pts.

        Fernandinho out theory may trump home and away theory when it comes to Silva and KDB.

    0.44 expected home goals for City doesn't look right?

      Think that whole chart (the home side of the expected goals) is wrong; and Stoke aren't in the table below at all. Still; doesn't stop this being a good read and very useful!

    Became one of my favorite articles of the week. Simple and useful. Keep the good running.

    Why is this week's data missing?
