    What are you doing right more like!! A couple of weeks who the guy ranked number 1 said his was 60% or something ridiculous like that. That was using the gargatron not sure if this system works it out in a different way or something but it shouldn't really.

    I think the (c) % above is the contribution of your captain to your overall score not the % of the best possible in case that is the mix up. On my mobile and haven't read the whole thing so not 100%! Going to add mine tomorrow.

    This has confirmed busts lamentable captain choices anyway, his captain points % is absolutely miles behind the rest of us.

    Remember that you will need to double your vc's total for the purposes of this list, a few haven't by the looks of it.

    I doubt even FHFC's captain sob story can beat that low score :p

    Busts was only marginally better than mine that time. I've a slight improvement since probably and Kane v Aguero last week would have made a big difference.

    Will post mine when I get into work.

    It's a truly outstanding score so far by busts considering his captain choices. Without going into any detail it's highly likely that with a few better picks he'd be right up near the top of the world rankings.

    The thing is I haven't really taken any mad risks with my captain choices. I played my wildcard right at the start when costa was supposed to be injured so missed his 2 big hauls. The odd time I got it right like Aguero v spurs a lot of people got him in as VC when costa didn't play. Just seen km79 capt score which is way worse than mine . I really didn't think anyone could have had a bigger nightmare with captaincy than I have. I'm assuming he missed the couple of Aguero hauls I got.

    I have had NO luck with aguero !
    captained him 11 times
    2,2,1(injured after 6 mins),1
    from gw24-30 I capatined him EVERY week bar one (and I captained him for DGW over Kane)
    5,9,5,2,2,2
    and the one week in that stretch I did not captain him he hit his only double figure haul 11
    that sums up my season.
    I was jumping from captain to captain and missing large hauls the following week from aguero in particular. so I said I'd try a new approach and stick with one heavy hitter with good fixtures!
    as benteke has a double next week I'll prob captain him and I KNOW aguero has a MASSIVE score coming soon.........I'll cry if its next week

    If I always captained the highest GW scorer I would be on 2150

    Possible Total Points if you Always Captained Highest Scorer out of (C) and (VC) : 1855

    Tbh I never really put any thought into my VC as I usually change the (C) near the deadline when I'm sure of who is starting. Feels like alot of points lost :( and something that has been plaguing me all season (in comparison to my rivals)

    Just took the liberty of multiplying everyone's VC figure who didn't multiply it by 2 :).

    My benched points are pretty high. Is this simply the additional points you could have had if you picked the higher scoring player that week e.g. if I picked Clyne and he scores 2, but Chambers on my bench scores 6 then is that +4 benched points? Or is it simply the amount of points on the bench e.g. Chambers scoring 6 would always count as 6 points regardless of what my actual selected player scored?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    I have the highest percentage of captains points and the lowest benched points. Must figure out where I've lost points now! Least Im maximising on those parts of the game.

    Until the Kane v Aguero captaincy this week I was actually doing worse that Busts (it would have been 316 to Bust's 320 total captain points up to last week).

    In relation to the overall thread and G1032's original post, I think that the percentage of the game that is luck can make all the difference and tip you from a poor run of backing the wrong players into a disasterous slump. While somebody else making similar bad choices of players will get away with it, sometimes when you make the wrong choices you need the rest of your team to pull you out somewhere else.

    For example, I made some very similar choices to G1032.
    • I went with Pelle in my wildcard over Kane from GW23-25 (Pelle 6 points, Kane 36 points).
    • I also went with ADM and stuck with him for 5 long weeks.
    • I sold Giroud in GW25 for Costa, switching Costa to Sturridge the week after.
    • I stuck with Sanchez over Ozil/Cazorla, despite having sold him for one week the week he missed in GW24 so had no money tied up in him.
    • Worse still I sold Sanchez for Silva that week, but switched back to Sanchez and captained him for Leicester in GW25! Since I made that switch Sanchez has scored 20 points and Silva has scored 46!!! :eek:

    So what has kept me from free falling similarly over that period where I arguably made worse moves than G1032 has been getting the captains right on Kane (GW30 and DGW28) and Aguero GW26. Also Puncheon stepped up one week for me for 18 points, and I had a couple of decent scores from PVA and Bellerin at the back (24 points between them in GW23). Also this week I reluctantly made the move from Sturridge to Costa and caught a modest gain of 5 points.

    Sorry I looked at this now as even jut Pelle V Kane and Sanchez V Silva costing me 56 points is somewhat depressing! I would be well inside the top 1k.

    I always knew my captain score wouldn't be great didn't expect it to be that far down the list though. I can't understand how some peoples (vc) score is so low are people sticking it on random players instead of having a solid back up?

    Even if I had got it perfect between (c) & (vc) every week I still wouldn't be in the top 100 wtf are those guys at!!

    Corrected km79s best of score.

    On the FFS scoutcast he mentioned that he liked to have a well balanced squad does seem insane to have that many points there though! If there was a stat for max score from squad each week presumably he would be well over 2000 points at this stage.

    I seem to have an above average captain points but I am well down the rankings, must try and figure out what went wrong. In saying that I am doing well in most of the h2h leagues so I am putting it down to a very poor start, I was at 715k after GW5, back up to 151k after GW 8 then down to 507k after GW 12, I ahve climbed steadily from then on to a current season high ranking of 39k!

    Thats not even that bad I was outside the top million at GW7 back to back 2m+ gw ranks in GW4 & GW5 was killer I always seem to start like that though never been able to get off to a good one! It was GW8 that turned it around for me too jumped almost 950k places in the one week! I wish every week was like GW8.

    With a well balanced squad he can maybe be more patient with his transfers. Holding onto suspended or players with minor injuries and ends up taking less points hits. Most of us are obsessed with team value and having as cheap a bench as possible. I'm beginning to think this may not be the ideal strategy. It's a killer leaving pts on your bench but at the end of the day it's good as you own that player. There hasn't been a need this season for a huge budget as Kane is so cheap and a load of cheap mids strikers have been performing.

    On a separate note did you see the start the sub keeper came up trumps at the weekend. If anyone had Forster Davis. Forster 1 pt Davis 7 pts. I think I'm going to try it next year.

    He said he's taken something like four points hits in his FPL career (none this season)! Odds are still against him though to win it all and his uber cautious style could come back to haunt him for the last two DGWs.

    Statistically that's much of a muchness I think.

    Assuming there is a clean sheet:
    • If the fist choice keeper gets injured between 0-30 he'll get 1 and the sub will get 6/7.
    • If he gets injured 30-60 neither of them will get CS points.
    • If he goes off 60-90 first choice player will get CS points and the sub 1 point.

    So you've a 33% chance one guy will get the CS points, 33% chance the other guy will get them and 33% chance neither will.

    Done well on the captain vs VC captain thing to be fair, though some weeks (like last week with Kane) my highest scorer was neither captain or Vice. My total points if I'd always captained the highest scorer would be 1976

    A lot of the time a keeper goes off though he has been sent off so you avoid his minus pts and have a keeper coming in with a chance to save a peno. Someone did analysis on FFS and playing the bench keeper is marginally the better decision . It's a non issue really just something me and jimmii were discussing a couple of weeks ago.

    He hasn't taken any hits this season which is crazy enough but even crazier he said he had only taken 4 hits in the last 5 seasons HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!! Insane patience he mentioned that he barely watches any football and given the time difference probably doesn't experience the frustration of near misses as much as the rest of us. Still an incredible run of luck injury wise to have taken so few hits over the years.

    Total Points for the above Gameweeks : 1593

    Total Benched Points for the above Gameweeks : 265

    Total Captain Points : 336

    Total Captain Points as % of Overall Score : 21.09%

    Total Vice-Captain Points : 252

    Possible Total Points if you Always Captained Highest Scorer out of (C) and (VC) : 1624

    hmm my benched points are high but when I looked 97 were from my benched keeper and 76 were from benched defenders. the remaining 82 points come from benching midfielders and forwards. the worst are Sterling(15), Kane(18), Downing(20).

    It goes into a lot more depth part of the value is in the times the starter gets a red card and the sub keeper gets a chance of a penalty save. Its an article worth reading even just out of curiosity as they go back and find every example of GKs going off its obviously pretty rare but interesting to see the difference the times it has happened.

    Table sorted from highest captain points to lowest.

    Looks like I'm the only player with a differential of 100+ points between actual captain choice & best of (c)/(vc).

    Out of interest would lads mind adding their points total if captaining their highest GW scorer?

    You hit the nail on the head iroced!
    Sorry for the realisation but that was a great analysis you provided to all of us. Really interesting to see your moves in hindsight since I guess many of us did or eyed at least a similar one.

    Just to be precise, I pointed Sturridge mainly from a statistical point of view. He is very marginally owned and has not been performing better than the most popular forwards. So you were bound to suffer from it.

    Yeah, sorry, when I took it out to Excel to sort it and pasted it back in it lost the lines.

    How about this!!
