REVIEWING THE BOTS VS EXPERTS ARTICLE GW22

Good morning and welcome to the review of our bots vs experts’ article.  These review(s) will help us determine if the bots options are preferable to the experts or if human judgement trumps their call. It will also help us keep track of the performance of these sites over the course of the season.

The previewing article can be found here for cross checking. Thanks.

 

FFFIRST had returns for 2/3 of their goalkeeper picks, 3/5 of their defence picks, 2/7 of their midfield picks and 1/5 of their forward picks giving a poor 8/20 or 40% correlation rate.

FFFIX came in with a perfect 2/2 on the goal keepers, 4/5 on defenders, 3/7 on midfielders and 1/5 on forwards to give a marginally better 10/20 or 50% correlation rate.

FFASSIST had a 0/2 on goalkeepers, 4/5 on defenders, 2/5 on midfielders and 1/3 on forwards to place second with a 7/15 or 47% correlation.

Mixing the trio, the modal BOTS TEAM gave a 2/3 on goal keepers, 3/5 on defenders, 2/7 on midfielders and a 1/5 on forwards to give the highest score of 8/20 or 40% correlation.

With no premium striker scoring both last week and this week, the bots were let down by their picks with only FFFIX reaching 50%.

For the experts, FFSCOUT turned in 0/1 with their goalkeeper slot, 2/3 with their defence slot, 1/5 with the midfield slot and 0/2 with the forwards giving a horrible 3/11 or 27% correlation rate.

There was no modal EXPERTS TEAM as the geeks didn’t turn in

Finally, the CONSENSUS TEAM had a 0/1 on goalkeeper, 2/3 in defence, 1/5 in midfield and 0/2 with the forward picks to give 3/11 or 27% correlation.

Interestingly, all our honourable mentions who were ignored due to price limitations returned points this week.

From the data, the bots were the winners this week though both were poor which is understandable considering that the gameweek average was 47points.

See you next week for another episode and remember to drop your opinions on tips to make this piece even more useful.
