<p>For me, like many others, the coming week is the biggest decision let in the season with the wildcard being activated. I’ll be using the algorithm in the prediction tool to select my own team. It should be noted that this has been based before the spread prices are available for GW34 and the prices are a little out of date.</p>
<h3><strong>First double GW</strong></h3>
<p>As mentioned previously, the Gameweeks in the prediction model are out of sync with the FPL game. To view GW 34, the period start 36 and finish 37 are set (cells C5:C6). With Brighton v Cardiff being the only double fixture, the Brighton players came top for each position:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11046 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig1-1.png" alt="" width="319" height="230" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig1-1.png 319w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig1-1-300x216.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px" /></p>
<p>I will need to account for this if Brighton players don’t naturally get selected. As Brighton players come top in every position, I will be captaining one of their players in GW 34. As Gross has been injured, I will be excluding him going forward.</p>
<h3><strong>Initial Wildcard draft</strong></h3>
<p>I have a budget of £103m and the bench boost to play in GW 35. My first thought is to select the best 15 for the next two Gameweeks and bank a transfer for the final few matches. In the projection tool, I set the start as 36 and the finish as 39. I order the players by expected points for each position and select the highest scoring players. After excluding Gross, this gives:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11047 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig2-1.png" alt="" width="481" height="479" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig2-1.png 481w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig2-1-150x150.png 150w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig2-1-300x300.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px" /></p>
<p>A couple of things to note, I have busted my budget by £15m and due to Spurs favourable fixtures have eight of their players.</p>
<h3><strong>Meeting the three-club constraint</strong></h3>
<p>As I need to remove five Spurs players and knowing finance is a constraint, I look at the expects pts / £m for these weeks. The player that has the biggest benefit in a swap with another player will happen first. Placing these together gives us:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11048 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig3-1.png" alt="" width="440" height="636" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig3-1.png 440w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig3-1-208x300.png 208w" sizes="(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px" /></p>
<p>When going from Lloris to Patricio gains 0.1 (pts/£m), Rose to Saiss 0.6, Alli to Knockaert 0.7 (exclude March as not a regular) Kane to Deeney 0.7. Working this through, the three Spurs players to make the cut are Lloris, Trippier and Son. This leaves the overhaul as:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11049 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig4-1.png" alt="" width="483" height="485" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig4-1.png 483w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig4-1-150x150.png 150w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig4-1-300x300.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px" /></p>
<p>Budget and team constraints are met.</p>
<h3><strong>Final tinker:</strong></h3>
<p>As the team is under budget, I could look to spend a little on players that are less value for money (bank money scores nothing). I first will go through the team and make any adjustments based on my knowledge of players (my knowledge is limited and contain unconscious biases), as follows:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11050 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig5-1.png" alt="" width="918" height="372" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig5-1.png 918w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig5-1-300x122.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig5-1-768x311.png 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig5-1-610x247.png 610w" sizes="(max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px" /></p>
<p>My wildcard has now been selected valued at £102.7m with £0.3m in the bank with the current line up for the coming week as:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-11051 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig6-1.png" alt="" width="773" height="802" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig6-1.png 773w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig6-1-289x300.png 289w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig6-1-768x797.png 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/fig6-1-610x633.png 610w" sizes="(max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I hope to roll the transfer for the game after I bench boost in GW 35.</p>
<p>How does this compare to your team?</p>

<h3>UPDATE FOLLOWING KANE NEWS</h3>
<p>Kane was injured last night in the Champions league, so a revision is required for my squad. This is fairly straight-forward as Aguero was tinkered out for Kane and since Aguero was fit I can bring him back into the team. This does mean that I have four city players. The best changed seems to be D Silva to Eriksen</p>
