GAMEWEEK 30 REVIEW

Last week’s results were fairly predictable overall, with a lack of major upsets as well as big fantasy scores.

Here are the Gameweek 30 results in descending order of predictability:

John McHugh, aka SpartaBhoy won the Yellow Cap in the Fantasy Football Scout league with 8/9 correct predictions, including three exact score picks.

Mr Crowd Wisdom  – using the aggregated predictions of the crowd – is now up to 10th in the FFS pool.

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!

GAMEWEEK 31 PREVIEW

Here is the Expected Goals chart for each fixture in the abbreviated Gameweek 31:

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

It’s Liverpool way out in front on the predicted goals chart. But what’s interesting is that Bournemouth are expected to keep it slightly tighter at the back.  This suggests that Sadio Mane might edge Virgil Van Dijk for a third Liverpool slot, alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, in terms of points potential.

Bournemouth, Everton and Huddersfield are the more-fancied teams amongst the others, although we’ll all need some luck to bring home a good score this weekend.

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!
