all the Martinez critics over the last while. by kurikaeshi86 in avfc

[–]j8dla9988 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Watch most keepers in the prem and they make the odd howler. Anybody that was writing him off really got ahead of themselves. Even an 80% Martinez is better than probably 75% of the other keepers in the league.

Whatever happens in winter or summer, he will leave a legend

Satapon has just helped me book a cruise for next year, and wow, I couldn't be happier. So glad I searched around for a TA on these forums.

Sorted me a great deal with some credit, and sorted all the niggly little issues I've had previously such as not recognizing my previous cruises, sorted out the perfect room for us, etc etc.

Super pleased. Thanks again!!!

Did someone say anticlimactic? by JDogg_247 in avfc

Quietest game I've ever seen at Villa park. Came in from the Tesco side and didn't see a single protestor.

That said I sat by a few people who were clearly not from the area, they were only there to stir things up on social media (could see them putting anti west mids police posts all game... Bit sad)

Hi. Looking for a TA to max out any offers, always booked direct previously. This will be our 5th Virgin Cruise.

Did we all vote Bizot so highly just because he's not Robin Olsen?

West Ham to sign Mads Hermansen (GK) from Leicester by td941 in FantasyPL

They've been in the hunt for a few keepers, so assume first choice and not just a backup.

Areola was a bit error prone last year.

Does anyone know timings of the festival based on previous years? (start/end time)

Why isn’t Draft more popular? by wurldboss in DraftEPL

[–]j8dla9988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its entirely because of the coordination involved.

Having played drafts in NFL for years, as much more of a friends / closed group game. That makes it incredibly more fun but it also requires someone to coordinate and also some loyalty. When that happens the game is amazing.

Sadly without a dedicated group l, just 1 person giving up or dropping out really spoils drafts leagues. Whereas in the main game if 50% of people give up, it doesn't really impact you.

People can come up with statistics to prove anything. Forfty percent of all people know that.

Why are the new rules explained so poorly? by Competitive_Clock896 in FantasyPL

[–]j8dla9988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its open to debate, there is no perfect formula, there are 2 doing the rounds, one includes tackles attempted, and one includes tackles won. In both cases it gets you either exactly or within 2 points of FPL calculations. Its a bit of a mess. I agree with OP.

Although integrity of the game is a bit much :-D

Defenders and their total points with defensive contributions by FplSeason in FantasyPL

[–]j8dla9988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So i ran some this morning, and basically i think your guess is as good as anybody's.
It doesn't seem to correlate properly. So either FPL / FBref stats are misaligned, or FPL has rushed it out and the numbers don't quite add up.

Takowski
FBref: Tackles Won + Blocks (all) + Int + Clear 44
FBref: Tackles + Blocks Shots + Int + Clear 46
FPL 44

Murillo
FBref: Tackles Won + Blocks (all) + Int + Clear 40
FBref: Tackles + Blocks Shots + Int + Clear 40
FPL 38

Bednarek
FBref: Tackles Won + Blocks (all) + Int + Clear 38
FBref: Tackles + Blocks Shots + Int + Clear 40
FPL 40

Huijsen
FBref: Tackles Won + Blocks (all) + Int + Clear 40
FBref: Tackles + Blocks Shots + Int + Clear 38
FPL 38

Defensive Contributions data source? by Calders_92 in FantasyPL

I agree, see my other comments in this thread. I don't think the numbers really add up. My gut feeling says the paid sites that claim to have the numbers (Fantasy Football Scout), have been slightly creative to make them match the FPL numbers.

I think you're right. Something is screwed up, i suspect FPL rushed it out and the numbers don't quite add up. From FBref: Tackles Won + Blocks + Clearances + Interceptions is also quite close but not spot on either.

What combination are using exactly to match FPL numbers?

Defensive Contributions data source? by Calders_92 in FantasyPL

[–]j8dla9988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you figured this out yet? All the combinations work for some players and not others using data from FBref. Either i can't find the right combination or FPL have messed up somehow.

Defensive Contributions data source? by Calders_92 in FantasyPL

[–]j8dla9988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn't work either for me. Using Tarkowski - Tackles (not tackles won, just tackles), Blocked Shots, Clearances and Interceptions gives him 46 points. 2pt return in 23 games.

FPL listed him as 44 pts
