Times Fantasy Football
Posted by mattc at Nov 26, 06 07:22 PM ... Comments (0)
Every year I play the Times Fantasy Football and every year I struggle with finding the best value players.
Typically the players that get last minute transfers from the bench of a good team to a starting place in the first XI of a lesser team are the best picks. Jiri Jarosik being a prime example who ended up amassing a huge number of points after Chelsea dumped him on Birmingham a few weeks before the transfer deadline.
Anyway, here's the output of a program that will periodically reorder the latest player points tables from The Times website in to a fairly crude 'best-value' metric.
The cheapest players earning a relatively good number of points throughout the season will appear at the top end of the tables, the expensive players earning a similar amount will drift around in mid-table indicating that they are overpriced.
The generated files are stored in YYYY-MM-DD format.
