The Saka captaincy blank stung but there we are, more will be worked on in the week to improve certain captaincy decisions (like it is a training session or something).

No Liverpool player meant a red arrow after numerous green arrows recently – my team won 0-4 so I am not complaining that is for sure – tomorrow night’s match day (Brighton Vs Wolves) is an opportunity to get back on a green again.

SkyFF double GWs are in mind with Manchester City, Luton Town and Brentford having an extra match (game in hand).

There are more matches on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening to factor in (going to refer to my notes for those I think).

This XI would be on around 77 points (aprox) with 1 player left to play, some fantastic returns here but a few areas to work on.

I think this is a decent new template to work off though, including a few enablers to possibly consider.

Even more statistics/data will be looked at, and to look to build on this (a run of good picks).

I have pretty much decided to update the tables on or around Thursday (01/02/24)/Friday (02/02/24) evening given the sheer volume of Premier League matches that are taking place with week.

It is a two hour task or longer at times (an enjoyable one but it takes a huge amount of concentration), and given my day to day commitments, I think it is best that I pace myself.

It is fantastic to find new diffentials, see the points add up and to potentially come up with new strategies.

The midweek action followed by another GW is an opportunity to put more points on the board and land more blows with differentials.

So food for thought on approaches, DGW (double gameweek) strategies and planning (players/fixtures wise) moving forward.

The aim to is get as many points as possible, enjoy playing the game again (SkyFF) and to potentially help people get more points on the board in their mini-leagues or to boost their rank.

Really I am amazed anyone looks at this site, let alone (getting) 49 visitors in December, thank you to anyone who likes my posts, likes my posts on Twitter or retweets anything of mine, it is very much appreciated.

Even if a few people get insight from this or get something from it then it makes it worthwhile, and I do enjoy keeping on top of my stats and unearthing those differentials.

I am getting a lot from looking at more data this season (including xGI in particular), and after all I think it is a skill to read data in some way, so I get lots from this from non-footballing reasons too.

I know what an honour it is to be involved with anything to do with football or fantasy football, even if it is on my own accord or in my spare time/a commitment of sorts.

I am mindful of how getting players in who haul is amazing, and it is but as much as anything my aim to be get returns from all over, to plant seeds (or ideas) for potential picks or even highlight potential cheap enablers.

Here is to more green arrows.
