I went back and calculated #FPL Assistant Manager points for every PL game over the last 8 seasons (and combined with pre-game market WDL odds)

These are the top 100 AM scores for games played in GW24-38 between 2016-7 and 2023-24 👇

And a few quick observations below 🧵

Simulated GW19 thousands of times and here is where player production came from.

Note: this was not done today so not factoring in suspensions, post-GW18 team strengths, etc. #FPL

I did some elaborations on the Assistant Manager EVs posted by @analyticf.pl below. Taking the current difference in league places, I have calculated the effective EV for each fixture for the home and away team (1/.
I calculated the EVs for the Assistant Manager in each fixture.

For now, not factored in probability of being 5 places below so:

Pts = EV if they not 5+ places below
Pts++ = EV if they are 5+ places below

From my team strength model

FPL Towers this season:
- Started with the most enjoyable asset pricing in recent years by far
- Made changes to FT & chip rules which have made FPL planning much more enjoyable and interesting
- Introduced a new chip which is more ambitious & strategically fun than any suggestions I've seen

Will get the new chip added in stages over the next weeks, expect it will look something like this:

1- Projections for managers added to site (by start of next week)
2- Enable using chip & picking manager (by end the of next week)
3- Link into Linear Optimiser (over Christmas)

#FPL My thoughts and feelings on the new shiny Assistant Manager chip. It's intriguing to have a new challenge, but I find it annoying.

1️⃣ It requires a new slot in our "Knapsack problem" of 15 players, taking ITB and 3-player limits into account. Decision-making just got unnecessarily harder.

Mystery Chip = Assistant Manager chip!

Here's the calendar up to GW38.

If EVE vs LIV is rescheduled before GW30 then my chip strategy will probably be:

Wildcard in GW30
Assistant Manager in GWs 31-33 (inc. DGW33)
Free Hit in BGW34
Bench Boost in DGW36
Triple Captain Salah in the EVE vs LIV DGW

In short:

Target vs promoted teams.
Plus Everton & Wolves for your defenders
Plus West Ham & Brentford for your attackers

Avoid vs Arsenal Liverpool.
Plus Chelsea City Spurs for your defenders

Palmer has 38 PL goals and assists in 2024 - that's more than any other player. Eight ahead of Salah and 10 ahead of Saka and Haaland. Harry Kane holds the record for most goals and assists in a calendar year with 46. Chelsea have four PL games to go in 2024...#cfc

Final update on these 👇

Markets starting to cool on Man City with a drop in projections from Sunday morning. Chelsea's projections have risen with Saints likely to be missing a number of first-teamers - a chance that comes back in a bit tomorrow if Chelsea rotate their own XI
