GW 27 - BOTS VS EXPERTS ARTICLE

Good morning and welcome to the continuation of our series. Choosing a team for a game week can be hard. Sentiments and personal preferences can cloud ones judgement. There have been many FPL sites that try to predict the team for the week but there is usually a large discrepancy. 

My plan in doing this article is to compare human analysis (totw from experts on different sites) to AI analysis (totw from bots on different sites). 

Now these sites are expected to churn out different teams every week irrespective of transfer limitations. The difference is that the experts bring their teams based on strict FPL formation and price while the bots simply bring out the best set of players from their algorithm projections. 

For this study, I'll be using 8 site. 4 have bots (fantasy football fix, first, overlord and geek) while 4 are human experts (fantasy football scout, thefantasypl, overlord and the official fantasy app scout). 

The picture below is an excel representation of the data gotten. I didn't delve into stats. Just collated results by sorting by next game week scores (for the bots) and getting the teams for the experts.
