      If I were to sell Haaland, I'd like to use the funds immediately, so the - 4 makes sense.
      On the other hand, I don't see the rush in selling Haaland if you already own Salah.

    Decision time - stick with Haaland or go a different route. But also need to sort out TAA (potential injury and too much money) and Lewis.

    1ft 0.7itb
    Flekken
    TAA, Gabriel, Mykolenko (Milenkovic, Lewis)
    Palmer, Bruno, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Rogers
    Haaland, Raùl (Cunha)

    A) TAA -> Konate/Colwill/RAN and aim to swap Bruno or Mbeumo for Saka in gw14 for a Haaland/Palmer/Saka structure

    B) Haaland/Semenyo -> Isak/Salah for a hit, but stuck with TAA and Lewis as issues in defence that may require further hits

    C) TAA/Mbeumo -> Colwill or RAN / Saka (-4)

      If Trent misses Soton, it has to be A. No need to take a hit for Saka, so C isn't an option for me.
      If Trent is healthy, you can look at B, but you have to decide if you prefer Haaland or Salah. No one can help with that. It's your call, a matter of personal preference.

      I think this is an interesting point to consider. What is the reason for this? Simply that Everton have worse finishers than average? Could there be other explanations, like Dyche creates chances for the wrong players? Or something in the xG model over values the types of chances Everton create? Just thoughts

        Last GW 38,7% of the elite 1000 owned DCL. In GW10 57% owned DCL(see below). Before that I assume it was even higher owned.

          I'm talking about xG modelling, not FPL Review, which I know nothing about, but which I assume predicts FPL points (using xG and other variables). Rest assured, any points projections out there are going to take over- and under-performance into account. If they take each individual player's xG and xG delta into account, they automatically take the team's xG into account because the team's numbers are built out of the individuals' numbers.

          When projections expect a player like DCL to do well, it is despite his underperformance as an individual. If you add in the underperformance of the team separately, you'll be adding the same data again, as the individual events that comprise the player data are the same individual events that comprise the team data. It would be interesting to see how they handle this, i.e. is there's a way to account for team-level factors -- like having certain combinations of players on the pitch and what happens when a player changes team -- or do they work directly with the event data, which would make sense to me, but I would need that explained, because I'm not a statistician, and honestly, I don't think FPL projections go that deep. Anyone who knows how they work probably has to use their brain to constantly qualify why numbers are higher or lower than they should be,

I was paid $20 (a King’s ransom!), received a large packet of twisties, and was allowed to keep the socks (AFL team North Melbourne, unfortunately the team I now support, they are execrable, women’s team good but). Got the day off school, was filmed skateboarding past the camera doing 360s and so forth.

            It would be great to know whether xG does take into account the players ability. Do we have anyone who knows how it works?

            It theory it should NOT factor in player ability/how clinical their finishing is. But here's an exampled: KDB whips a ball through the 6-yard box and haaland gets his foot about 7ft high to knock in in from less than a yard out. The chance gets recorded as a high xG value. But the exact same cross in wouldn't even be reached by most other players/human beings. So if shaun wright-phillips is the player in the same starting position he doesn't even go for the ball and the "chance" gets dismissed as very low xG or no XG at all.

            Haalands athleticism and agility and clinical finishing make the XG of chances higher than for other players so his xG delta stats are effectively worsened.

              Ability is not factored in - a penalty is considered roughly 0.7 xG regardless of whether it's you, me or Ronaldo taking it.

              if "Haaland gets his foot about 7ft high to knock in from less than a yard out", it doesn't go down as high an xG value as if he went with his head, but going with the foot would understandably be relatively high for the average striker, because xG assumes that the average striker has already got his foot up to 7ft high to knock it in from less than a yard out.

              It's a measure of the quality of the chance, only in that it's the probability of scoring if the average player makes that shot. It doesn't include the probability that the player would or can take that shot. It seems a bit weird in your example, because it's a fairly extreme case of a player who can do things others can't do given his physical build and athleticism. (Further, the calculation of the xG would be less reliable because there are fewer historical data points of similar shots (with the same variables, whatever they are) to base the calculation of probability on).

              Hypothetically (and maybe in actuality in some models?), they could factor in body position. Like, if someone is stretching for the ball, that reduces the xG. But that's just another variable that affects everybody. That Haaland is better at scoring on the stretch just means he's more likely to score from that shot, regardless of the xG. Thus player ability is not factored into the xG. Rather, xG represents the average-ability player given the same circumstances when touching the ball. However, coding for the variables that capture the totality of the circumstances is impossible, so they take what they deem the most important , predictive and feasible variables (I assume).

                Ok the haaland example is extreme, but apply the logic for a player's pace. There is a spectrum of player's speeds in the premier league, meaning the same straightforward through ball can be deemed a "big chance" if the player is very fast and latches onto it, or is not deemed a chance at all (so zero XG) if the keeper gets to it first. Agreed?

                Therefore, player ability must inherently be factored into XG models.

                I take your point that a player's finishing ability once in the shooting position is not factored in. That makes sense.

                    Freeze the pitcher when the shot is taken. At that point, and that point only, xG models will consider all the variables in play, and based on historical records of other similar pictures, it will calculate the probability that the average player would score in that circumstance.

                    Yes, a model could hypothetically take in the speed at which the player is running. But again, the individual top speed (and ability, etc) of the player is irrelevant to the xG of the shot when it is taken. In this hypothetical xG model, it would look at the historical records of players scoring when running at that speed (and the interaction of that pace with other variables, like distance to the keeper and the goal, etc) to calculate the probability of the average player scoring while running at that speed in those circumstances. If someone is too slow to get on the end of a chance, they do not shoot, and so there is no xG generated.

                    Maybe re-read the big I wrote about "quality of the chance". xG only represents a "chance" if a shot is produced. Maybe don't think of it as a measure of a "chance" (big or small) at all. It is a measure of the quality of a shot opportunity, but not the quality of the shot, nor the quality of the player, nor the quality of a chance in general --only of the probability that that shot would be scored by the average player

          If you need to have a premium, then I'd look at someone who plays for an elite defence, such as Gabriel or Konate.

    Sporting press a lot. Expect lazy man utd pressing for the ball a lot with quick attacking play / an improvement on the transistion from defence to attack are the things I'm expecting.

    His last match vs Braga was an intense one. What a game 2-4, even worth a watch.

    Amorim is a good coach but Utd are cursed.

      in the same position but 0.1 off solanke to Isak! i think i'll bite the bullet for a hit and get Salah in, its just wether i keep Haaland or not.
      a) Saka + Solanke - Salah + Joao Pedro (he is injury prone and the only striker in this price bracket but can be benched easily).
      b) Mbuemo + Haaland - Salah + Isak.

      B is quite good as it allows for me to do Isak - Watkins week 14. Obviosuly we won't get any proper Saka news ahead of the deadline which means i'll probably stick with him. Gutted about taking a hit either way!

    Morning all,

    I had planned to WC this week but now I am looking at my team, I don't think I need to, with 2 FT in the bank.

    Henderson(villa)
    Ait Nouri / Robinson / Gabriel
    Salah / ESR / Mbeumo / Rogers / Foden
    Haaland / Cunha

    Looking at Haaland & Foden to either:

    A: Isak & Bruno
    B: Isak & Palmer
    C: Isak & Saka

    I think Palmer edges it at the moment in terms of the amount of action going through Palmer in games vs the spread of points in the arsenal side. I could move ESR up to Saka or Bruno next week also.

    What do you recon?

      Looking good imo. Midfield as strong as it gets and front 3 will be decent once you have Pedro.
      Id switch Lewis to avoid the bench risk and possibly change Watkins for Isak. That move also gives funds for defensive upgrades.

        I like both of these. Definitely eyeing up Isak for watkins and Lewis may become RAN in a few weeks

      Looks good, although I'm not convinced on buying Pedro given the other cheap forwards available.

        Aren't any others at 5.4 really and he's in a very strong front 8 in this team so will rotate well.

      Lewis the only hole I can see. May be go for Mazraoui or a Brighton defender.

    Looking at routes to get Palmer in now and can't decide which way to go. Basically between ditching Haaland or Saka.
    A) Saka and Jackson to Palmer and Cunha/Pedro
    B) Haaland and Rogers to Palmer and Isak/Cunha/Pedro

    I have Salah already.
    I know arsenal fixtures look better but Arsenal haven't been great and I'd expect Haaland to outscore Saka long term.
    Dropping Haaland does free up funds though and can make improvements else where.

      Do you expect Haaland to outscore Saka in the next 6?

        It's a tricky one to call. Only takes a couple of good games for Haaland to outscore him by some distance. But arsenal fixtures are a lot better on paper.

      There are so many better options than these two: Cunha, Wood, Wissa, Isak, Welbeck, Delap, Evanilson.

      Mbuembo can equal or surpass Saka over the next two, so probably wait on that one

      No, you don't have to sell one of the top 3 assets in FPL. You can if you want though.

      Any one of them. Preferably the one with least gametime.
      You might need them soon if haaland starts scoring and salah doesnt.
