Double Gameweek 28 was clearly a disappointment for both teams. With just 11 weeks to go, the scores currently read 1834 vs 1623 in Man vs Machine Learning.
In the last 2 weeks, I took a look at some contributing factors to the big difference in points between the two teams. The Machine was let down by yet another captaincy failure. This time it was not just the captaincy though, it was the fact that the captain played only 60 odd minutes in a double gameweek. Triple City defence has harmed the team in multiple ways. Firstly, Pep has rotated the defenders. Secondly, this meant that Gundogan and KdB could not be in the team throughout this run. Finally, City have been conceding the odd goal of late.
The Machine's Team
- Gameweek 27
- Cresswell, Kane and Bruno scored big this week.
- The move to get Kane in for DCL really paid off with Kane getting 19 points
- However, these were the only returns of the week with Captain Cancelo playing only 60 odd minutes. It's time to stop considering him as someone who is likely to start a game
- The rest of the team blanked, with triple City defence returning a grand total of 8 points across 6 games, including captaincy
- This led to another red arrow from 900k to 984k
- Gameweek 28
- The suggested transfer is to get Veltman in for Ben Mee and the move has already been made
- GW 29 should be manageable with a variety of options even though getting 11 players may prove hard
- However, with a wildcard and bench boost left, we can wildcard out of the 29 team in the weeks after the blank
- Lookman makes the starting lineup again ahead of Cresswell, which is a questionable decision as far as a human is concerned
- Bruno gets the armband with Kane getting vice-captaincy
Expected number of returns for GW 28-31 per position according to the Machine
My Team
- Gameweek 27
- Not a disaster of a gameweek but underwhelming again given the fact that City had a double gameweek
- Stones and Cancelo only played one game and with KdB returning this meant a red arrow
- Kane, Bruno and Gundogan carried the team with contributions from Martinez and Son
- Red arrow from 9.7k to 10.8k and I slip just out of the top 10k
- Gameweek 28
- No transfer has been made yet but I have 2 free transfers
- As of now, the plan is to get a Brighton defender for Ben Mee - Veltman or Dunk being the main options
- This should leave me with 2 free transfers going into GW 29 to get 11 players for the blank week
- The captaincy is on Bruno right now but the decision isn't final by any means - Salah, Kane, Bruno and Gundogan could all end up with it by the time deadline comes around depending on team news
