GAMEWEEK 28 REVIEW

Leicester’s draw at home to Stoke was the biggest surprise of Gameweek 28, with Watford’s win over Everton and Brighton thrashing Swansea also unexpected by most.

Here are the Gameweek 28 results in descending order of predictability:

Jonathan Liberman from Sweden won the Yellow Cap in the Fantasy Football Scout league, largely thanks to picking the Leicester, Bournemouth and Burnley draws.

It was another great week for Mr Crowd Wisdom – using the aggregated predictions of the crowd – who climbed another 8 places up to 11th 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.

The crowd’s average picks have now taken the Crowd Wisdom user into the top 3% on the global leaderboard.

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

Liverpool and Tottenham lead the way for predicted goals this weekend, with the London side also expected to keep a clean sheet at home to Huddersfield.

This looks to be another strong week on paper for the two FFScout captaincy poll leaders, Reds winger Mohamed Salah and Spurs talisman Harry Kane.

Manchester City made light work of Arsenal last night, and could well outscore the predictions here when Chelsea drop by.

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

Is there anything that catches your eye in these predictions?

Good luck!
