GW23 -- Stats review
TLDR:
- Using Solio as the forecast, Bruno Fernandes and Dorgu outperformed their forecast the most over last 8 GWs
- Looking at the underperformers, Liverpool pops up with Eze & Mccalister
- Despite low expected points, Kroupi value for money (aka utility) is the highest amongst forwards. Joao Pedro is the top utility pick for fwds with >3.5pts
- Gabriel’s utility is very impressive in both absolute terms and considering how high his expected points are
- Raya is the undisputed GK pick by utlity
- Tavernier and Andersen show up as strong picks for midfield
Points vs Solio forecast

Utility analysis
Computed utility for next 6 GWs using Solio expected points divided by cost. Showing values for both all players and only those with > 3.5 expected points. Chris Richards is an interesting pick. Gabriel and Senesi also pop up but those are to be expected.
At the bottom, we also have the top 4 players per position. Utility is the lowest for forwards and Kroupi comes up as the undisputed king of utility forwards - only caveat is the low expected points. Gabriel is very impressive given the high expected points and very high utility.
