How This Works

Players are filtered to under 10% ownership, form of at least 4, and more than 200 minutes played. They are then ranked using the formula: form x (6 - avgFDR) x (1 + expected points / 100), where avgFDR is the average fixture difficulty over the next 3 matches. This balances current output with upcoming fixture quality.
