Pick Live

-
I'm sure many readers will be aware of Pick Live if you follow the awesome Football Ramble, but for those who aren't, the game plays out like this. To Play the Big Game you simply:
  1. Pick any 5 players from the available squads to make your team
  2. We'll email you when the starting 11 for each time is confirmed
  3. Your team will play along to the entire selected match
  4. Your players score points if they start the match or get subbed on
  5. The top 3 entrants at the end of the match will share the prize pot

The scoring is as below:
  • Goal 20 points
  • Assist10 points
  • Completed pass 1 point
  •  Shot on target 5 points
  • Shot off target 2 points
  • Interception 1 point
  • Tackle 3 points
  • Completed cross 1 point
  • Save 5 points
  • Goalkeeper action 1 point
  • Red card -20 points
  • Yellow card -10 points
  • Failed pass -1 points
  • Foul -3 points
  • Own goal -20 points
  • Offside -3 points
  • Penalty miss -20 points
You place your stake (for example 2 GBP) and then take a share of the jackpot if you're in the top 3.

If you sign up today with this link you will receive a bonus 3 GBP just for signing up. What better way to make the Sunderland-Bolton or Blackpool-Spurs game even better? Why not go all out and play the huge Chelsea-United game which is sure to have a huge jackpot.

At the current time the game is only available to UK residents.

Pushing the Panic Button: Gameweek 15

Powered by Tableau The above visualisation is going to form the centrepiece for a new regular post (probably bi-weekly) which is kind of the opposite of the fanning the flames piece. Rather than focus on players who did well this week, we're going to look at players who didn't, and particularly those who haven't for a number of weeks and identify whether, yes you guessed it, the panic button should be pushed. Before we get into specific players, a quick review of what the table above shows: Goals xG - This is the expected goals a player should  have scored in a given week based on the number of shots he took (inside/outside the box), his historic skill level regarding hitting the target and the league average rate of converting shots on target (SoT) to goals. This metric gives an overview of the chances a player is receiving, along with the quality of them and the way he is converting them. Pts - simply the points scored by the player over the last five g...

A brief update

-
Happy holidays everyone; it's been a while. For those not on Twitter, I was away in Costa Rica over the break without much - if any - internet access hence the lack of posts around these electronic pages. Well, actually, that's only the main reason, not the only one. In truth I've become a bit disillusioned with the fantasy game the past couple of months, partly due to my other commitments which make copying data at 2am somewhat less appealing, partly due to a lack of excitement in this year's game and finally due to the constant frustration I have with today's internet culture. This blog is a labour of love and aside from the small amount of money I made from the pre-season guide many of you graciously purchased, I don't get much out of this beyond the enjoyment of interacting with readers and hopefully helping a few of you to gain a couple of extra fantasy points every now and then. While some of that enjoyment remains, I feel it has waned over time and th...

Demba Ba and transfer planning

I try not to get involved in too much "will-he-won't-he" speculation in these pages with, for example, the weekly statistical rankings being provided regardless of rotation risk. I'm not saying, of course, that this shouldn't be a factor, only that I'm in no position to offer a worthwhile opinion, other than collating other news stories (which are often based on nonsense quotes from managers anyway). There are plenty of other sites who offer opinions on whether Tevez will play or if Vidic has recovered from injury but in almost all cases it's pure guess work and so I try and stay away from such discussions. With that in mind, my initial reaction to Ba's move was negative. I have no idea whether he will play every week at Chelsea, and while you'd think it would extremely odd for a player to leave a good team to go and ride the bench, other players have done the exact same thing before. All I therefore see is a player who has gone from being the e...
