Rate my Team and the Projections have now been fully updated. They not only include the new arrivals from the transfer window, they also reflect the recent 25-man squads and factors such as ineligibility for fixtures against parent clubs for loan players.

The Rate My Team model has also been tweaked slightly with regards to bonus point allocation and form over the opening three Gameweeks.

Members can now view Projections for all players for Gameweeks 4 onwards, or get a snapshot of the next six Gameweeks. Rate my Team, meanwhile, allows those members playing wildcards to experiment with their lineups. Simply enter you team id and your current squad will be retrieved.

Having tweaked the model throughout the day, there will doubtless be further changes implemented and, should there be any major changes, I’ll notify you via comments.

Season memberships, giving access to Rate My Team and the Projections, are currently available for £15. View this page for details.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Pretty happy with my attacking players.

    I think I need to lose Toure and Olsson. But which one?

    I could sell Olsson (who will drop again) to Chester who has good fixtures and is cheaper. This will allow me to do Toure -> Kompany\ Luiz\Vidic

    or

    I sell Toure for a sub 6mil defender eg Coleman\Nasty\Dawson\Sakho\Ferdinand

        I don't have the extra 0.1m to stretch that far. For Spurs or United coverage I would need to get Ferdinand or Dawson.

        Ferdinand worries me a little due to his rotation risk when back in Europe and his injuries.
        Dawson I don't completely trust to keep his spot.

        That is why I would need to free up cash to bring in Vidic\Walker etc and I know its not worth a hit.

    Morning all DZers. No zeds here so instead a post on goal-scoring trends. A very simple question we need to answer is whether this season's downturn is significant. So let's start with the known fact that the GPG for GW2&3 were lower than all of the previous 115 GWs.

    Prior to GW2, the odds of this happening would have been around 0.02% but this clearly overstates the significance because we have introduced too much statistical bias - as we already know that there were few goals, the fact that they turn out to be the lowest for three years is much less surprising. That said, I think we can still consider GW3 as significant - 1 in 116 - which suggest that there is a marked fall in goals this season.

    Without some better explanation, I'm confident that a big3/4 defensive line will pay dividends over the next 6-8 GWs.

        Because I don't know what is the cause for the fall in goals. Declining shots accounts for a 17% decline which suggests a systematic change though we don't even know the cause for this. Suggested reason is a cautious approach from the new managers so we can expect some reversion to mean as this effect wears off. Either way, it's I'll be watching but taking an active punt that goals are down.

        What other changes are we seeing this season? Only thing I can think of is goal-line technology. Don't think BT Sport should be a factor. What about WC year?

      Statistics can't work like that for random events.

      Just because you roll two 6's in a row on a dice, doesn't mean you are any more likely to roll a 6 the third time.

      Therefore goals could easily flow as much as clean sheets could

        The dice analogy doesn't work too well. Closer to say that you roll thirty dice and score 60 in total then ask yourself if you think the dice are loaded. Even that is not ideal because football is not very random. If it were, there would be no way to identify a good FPL team.

      Of course there are a lot of factors to consider, but I think you also have to account for the big teams negating each other. Arsenal played Tottenham, Liverpool played Utd. Chelsea didn't even play. All teams likely to remove a clean sheet against weaker opposition. But defences do seem to be holding out better this year and the promoted sides are not as leaky as anticipated.

      There were a number of fixtures matching up teams who are likely to be happy (or not too disappointed) with a draw, between generally high scoring teams. Manu Chelsea, Liverpool manu, arsenal spurs, etc. Other games were likely low scoring for similar reasons too, like Norwich v Southampton, west ham v stoke.

      It was fairly likely they'd be low scoring. If you want to say arsenal spurs is usually high scoring I'd agree that Andre villas boas is more conservative than redknapp, but also there were no red cards in that game which sparked goals last time.

      Also, penalties were saved more regularly than usual.

        Apologies to cut into you obviously busy life Fluttershy 🙂

        A - Play coleman/Chester/Shaw as part of a 5 -3 -2

        B - Play Dzeko and drop one of them as part of a 4- 3 - 3

        If B - which defender do you drop?

        Thoughts?

      I'd say play Dzeko. I seems that deep down we all know, including pellegrini, Negredo is better. With the shadow of previous Champions League campaigns looming, I will put my money on the spaniard starting their first european match, and consequently Dzeko trying his luck at the britannia.

        interesting - hadnt considerd the Champions league rotation.

        Reckon Everton at home are hard to beat, even by chelsea. So will play coleman - might dump Chester/shaw for Dzeko.

          I agree. Besides, bench a defender with attacking potential and he's just destined to score. I'd bench shaw

    Love that Mirallas dropping along with his potential replacements(Michu and Coutinho) .. can happily keep him for a week or 2 and swap him without losing anythin. Gotta decided whether i wanna start him this week or give him a break to cool off.
    Mirallas(CHE) vs Kim(hull) .. which one to start? tempted to start kim who has looked gr8 uptil now

      Yeah I have a similar dilemma, albeit it's Brady (CAR) who I'm thinking of playing over Mirallas, no doubt hell score on my bench though...

        I think both Eve v Che and Hul v Car have got 0-0 written all over them.

        So assuming this it doesnt really matter 🙂 Stick with Mirallas though.

          🙂 .. i've got kim and brady so hopefully you are wrong. Cant see a 0-0 tbh. Both sides know each other well and will want the 3 points. could be a 1-1 goal fest 😉

      prefer Baarfa of those two.

      I reckon if Barfa priced at 7mil was in any other team than Newcastle he'd be one of the most picked players hes only on 6.1% ownership.

      Would only get rid of mirallas for a premium mid(Lampard and higher). Elsewise you may as well keep. Same potential as those 2

      I've been weighing up Nani to be fair, although I think the new contract is swaying me too much
