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 36 REVIEW
Liverpool’s draw at home to Stoke was predicted by just 3% on Superbru, whilst West Brom also caused a shock by winning in Newcastle to stave off relegation by another week.
Here are the Gameweek 36 results in descending order of predictability:
Derek Honey, a Brit in Canada won the Yellow Cap in the Fantasy Football Scout league, whilst Mr Crowd Wisdom – using the aggregated predictions of the crowd – slipped 5 places to 16th in the FFS pool out of over 480 players.
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.
The crowd’s average picks have now taken the Crowd Wisdom user into the top 2% on the global leaderboard.
GAMEWEEK 37 PREVIEW
Here are the aggregated predictions that we’ll enter for Mr Crowd Wisdom this week for the first half of this Double Gameweek.
And those for the second half.
With two plum home fixtures, it’s no surprise that Manchester City are predicted to score the most goals and concede the fewest, suggesting that Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling could be prime attacking targets.
The fact that Pep Guardiola’s troops are predicted to concede fewer goals than all teams with a single fixture speaks volumes for their defensive potential this week.
Tottenham and Manchester United should also do well in both attack and defence over their pair of fixtures.
Thank you for the positive feedback on these articles this season, hopefully they have added some value – 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 Predictor and into next year.
