39. Man vs Machine Learning: Rank 1586 & a Covid Relief Appeal from India

Firstly, a thank you to all those who checked on me over the past fortnight. I have recovered from all the symptoms of Covid now but I'm still in isolation. With the coronavirus situation in India being near apocalyptic, I count myself lucky that I got away with mild symptoms and home isolation. 

A lack of access to healthcare, oxygen, beds and ICUs is causing havoc across the country.

FPL has not been on the forefront of my mind but the team has been ticking along nicely. 

Gameweek 33 saw decent green arrows for both teams with my team reaching a personal best rank of 1.5k

The Machine's Team

• Gameweek 33
• The wildcard was played last week and it turned out to be an okay decision
• Most of the defence disappointed, with the exception of Shaw
• The attackers did better to reach a reasonable total of 58 points
• The Machine got a green arrow to go from 732k to 634k

• Gameweek 34
• The suggested transfer is to get Wood for Watkins. This transfer is not being made because of the likely double gameweek for Villa (which isn't official yet)
• The bench boost is being activated this week
• Captain will be Kane and vice-captain Bruno

Expected number of returns for GW 34-37 per position according to the Machine

My Team

• Gameweek 33
• The Liverpool game was a massive disappointment, with Jota and Alexander-Arnold both unlucky not to get any returns
• Chelsea double defence got a clean sheet
• Iheanacho and Salah rescued the team with big returns to finish on 63 points
• Green arrow from 2305 to 1586

• Gameweek 34
• No changes have been made yet with the hope that some fixture announcement will be made before the deadline
• Son could come into the team in place of Bruno Fernandes or Maddison
• The plan is to save the other transfer and go into GW 35 with two frees
• Captaincy is on Kane, unless there is some news about his fitness before the deadline
