Today I rank the top 15 attacking FPL assets (Forwards + Midfielders) based on a combination of value added per million (VAPM), VAPM using the underlying data model, explosiveness, captaincy opportunities, predictability, availability, and price gains. Later I discuss my performance from GW10, another good (probably lucky) week, and plans for GW11 and the big GW12.

I evaluate every iteration of my stupidity and walk through the thought process of each decision. Later I discuss planning for the big Gameweek 12 fixture swing and why I will be moving on from Haaland.

Mistakes have been made. It is time to do a deep dive into my mistakes: Why am I making early transfers, and why am I compounding that by taking a (-4) hit? Today's episode is more of a case study in bad decisions and trying to understand the thought process of doubling down on mistakes made early in the season.

Over yet another international break I discuss Game Week 8 Wildcard, and how it differs from Game Week 4 WC all within the context of Value Added per Million (VAPM). I turn back to the FPLOptimiseR package in R to examine algorithmically optimized teams. Is threemium in? I also discuss hindsight, and the drawbacks of VAPM, later I review my team and quickly talk through my thought processes.

Today I discuss the concepts of the eye-test, and compare players who pass or fail the 'eye-test' in the context of their underlying and observed statistics. This one is a very subjective topic so feel free to roast my opinions. Later, I rationalize Cole Palmer's 25-pointer, talk briefly about the watch-list, and review my Game Week 6 performance and plans moving forward.

Today make a weak defense of the game week 4 wild card, and why it may not have been such a bad idea. I discuss variance and try to make sense of the incredibly weird week in FPL just past. Later I review my team's performance and plan ahead for game week 5, 6 and beyond.
Also side note - I am a complete idiot for trying to do simple math in my head. I now know the average of 110 and 36 is 73, not 74, lol.
