Season total for your captain choices

SteelyDanJalapeno

So,

At the start of every season I set a target for my total points from captaincy choices at the end of the season, it's a very loosely based number and it usually reflects double the score of the highest scoring player of last season. Like Aguero scored 213 last season so a good yard stick for me this season is a target of 426.

Over half way through the season and I'm currently at 230 points based on my captaincy choices, the TC will make it a bit easier this season but I'll probably still struggle the reach the target.

Whats your total so far and how much of a percentage of your current score is it?

Total Cpt points : 230
PC of total team points : 22.22%

Inspector Coptoor

Total captain points: 268
Total points; 1116

%age captain points: 24%

Couple of captain blanks really stalled my progress in the last three weeks.

GW 20 - Ozil (c) - 4 points
GW 19 - Mahrez (c) - 4 points
GW 18 - KDB (c) - 4 points

Wow you'd have been flying if you got the last 3 a bit better, surely had Aguero at Newcastle then?

Inspector Coptoor

No.
Had Aguero alright for 25 but captained Sanchez for 16 X 2 for 32.
So not a bad return really.

Dang! Morto

manual_man

much as i suspected(/dreaded).

Total captain points: 194
% of overall score: 19.4

and i even had Kun captained for his 5 goal haul

captain picks have cost me big-time, this season AND last

remoteboy

Well this has been a real eye opener. I've had my worst season in years and while an amount of it has been bad timing this has really highlighted how many bad decisions I've made. I ended up putting a spreadsheet together to work things out.

Top line figures
Total Captain Points - 202 (101 * 2)
Percentage of overall score - 19.18%

Digging deeper
Average captain score - 10 (5 * 2)
Weeks where my captain was my highest scoring player - 3 (out of 20!)
Total missed captain points - 143

Far too many weeks I went against the majority captain choice trying to make up ground and ended up falling further behind. Think I'll play it safe from now on.

204 points, 19.75 percent of total score.

Throwback to when I knew absolutely nothing about Fantasy Football and captained Cazorla in GW1

Surprised, actually expected captaincy points to be lower.

Some nice percentages there despite the missed opportunities.

I think it really hammers home how poorly the rest of the team is performing thou, mainly defense I'm guessing.

You can get them here :

http://anewpla.net/fpl/

You just need your FPL I.D.

Scroll down on the first page and it gives you lots of data on various choices you've made over the season

Personally I find it's grim reading at times to see all my mistakes laid out like that

Jaggo

As a newby, I suppose you can't expect anything better but some of the stats are depressing:

lowlights are:

Total Captain Points as % of Overall Score : 18.87%
If I had captained my vice captain I would have got an extra 28 Points
Total Played Keeper Points : 61 & Total Benched Keeper Points : 78
I would be at the 45k mark rather then the 191k if I had got those right.

Shame

I had myhill and begovic early on but after wild card had Degea and Hennessy.

Deise Vu

I have had a shocker with my captains picks 178 points = 17.02% of total. Your captain is one sixth of your team so a random selected captain should give you 16.67%. When you consider I had Kun's 50 point haul I am actually way, way below a random selection! I had 4 points every week for six weeks in a row until last week when I selected Mahrez who broke the sequence with a missed penalty - 14 points down the drain and a delightful return of 2 for me.

My luck has to change in the second half....... doesn't it?

Total Captain points 254 which is 25.27% of my total, surprised by that but it is a little scewed by having Augero for his 5 goal haul. Have also had 7 blanks which is criminal, between that and having Mahrez on the bench for his bonanza week its not really a surprise I'm struggling to break the top million

Damned Statistics eh.
How many data points would we need for a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation? Can still do calculus but rusty on my Statistics?
Anyone think that'll tempt Zarquon?
When I compare my picks with others who posted theirs its hard for me to see "much of a difference".

Have similar stats. But why are you surprised? Were you expecting a lower total?

--

Personally, despite not being happy from my (C) choices overall, I'm (so far) happy enough from not being too far off the ultimate best combined (C) + (VC) total. The highest scorer total doesn't mean much since it's pure utopia.

Surprised it is that high to be honest as apart from the day Aguero went mental my captain choices have been consistently poor. I think that his one fifty point score is distorting his numbers. Without it his average in the other four times I captained him is just five points.
