Fantasy Player Ratings Updated with Form Charts



We've now added a form chart to the cumulative player ratings as you can see on the far right hand side of the image.

The form charts show the player's attacking points (aPts) from each of the last 8 gameweeks. For this particular image, we have sorted the table by aPts per 90 minutes (aP90). 

The form charts add a new dimension. As you can see Suarez and Giroud have been consistently scoring well, whilst Eto'o and Lukaku have had mixed performances. In fact, you can see from Eto'o's minutes that he's really just had one good game despite a good aP90 value. 

Sergio Aguero's form is mixed too, but in a different way, going from low aPt scores initially to very high scores over the last 3 weeks. We could say he is 'in-form', which he is of course.

If you use our points projections taking the player's recent form into account yourself is important, and we do this in our analysis on the blog and our weekly newsletter as well as our own team selections. The projection data uses an average value from the last 8 GW. It won't 'know' that a player may be off the boil or on the up. We will add these form charts to the projections table too in due course.
