Dousing the fire, fanning the flames: Gameweek 18

-
In the interest of time given the busy festive schedule, I'm posting the fanning the flames data now and will hopefully get a chance to flesh it our with some narrative in the next day or so.

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.

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.

One of my off season projects is going to be to look back over the past few
