    I've done it too, though my area of expertise is more with causal inference than forecasting.

    Matt returning is like a WWE heel coming back after years away from the ring.

    Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.

    I'm a fan too - nice work @ynot !

    The way to deal with @lukeayee 's (correct) criticism is to build two models. The model you have here is a model of actual outcomes.

    The model you need to complement it and add intelligence (a cute way of saying observed-minus-predicted) is a model of predicted outcomes - some folks here would've seen the xG stuff soccer uses (and is seen in FPL).

    This sounds complex, but fortunately you've already darn near everything you need to build the predicted model! Easiest option is to rely on autocorrelation (i.e. tomorrow=yesterday+today+randomness) - a variant of which is how we price players.

    A better (still easy) option is throw everything you can think of together in a LASSO or something, and take the top few predictors and back-build the model. Happy to help with R/Python code here if useful.

    A full-powered predictive model is a big chunk of work (needs player identification, weather, trends in each, injuries, player-vs-players stats, season point, distance from Origin, etc etc) because it needs separate models for each position&player. But then you'd have a betting forecasting model that'd beat Sportsbet. Again, happy to help but given the quanta of work it'd be less hands-on-code help and more advice.



    I am familiar with some of these words.

    Currently doing…..

    Bula to Edwards
    A. Johnston to M. King

    Leaves 9 trades and 481k spare…

    Team this week of

    Robson
    Hopgood M.King Matto
    Preston Bateman
    Hynes SJ
    Manu Penis
    Teddy Edwards Ponga

    Boyd Lemuelu Hands Brimson
    Haas Horse JDB Kris


    Have considered getting Fifita or Grant but maybe should wait a week? Fifita carrying back stiffness and bit of a hip issue might play a bit lesser mins like Grant?

    If Brimson is a late out I’d be down to 16 probs domt wanna use all bank to go Brimmo to Cleary as then not much money for moves next week. Would then have to consider JDB to Yeo to field 17 this week unless I went Boyd (do not really wanna sell him) to Fifita if Fifita does play.

    If SJ is a late out I’d trade him and get DCE or Cleary.

    Can anyone simplify this any suggestions please? I haven’t felt panicked at all in the last 6 weeks but in a bit of a head spin this week.

    Ideally I will want Fifita, Grant, Cleary and maybe one of DCE or Murray but mightn’t be possible.

    i think grant and fifita are the best in their positions, I want them for the run home, I am trading them in this week, there is a chance they dont have their most stellar performances this week, the alternatives i have in my squad are either on the bye, or in positioins I don't need, similiarly their alternative to trade in i dont want next week, the week after or 4 weeks down the track

    so i'm just going for it

    probably a non econometric or scientific or machine learning or Ai, or Game theory optimum answer, but its my story and I'm sticking to it

    hope that helps

    Would be interested to see how an AI would go over a full season in predicting trades, starting team etc

    Who were you looking at trading to Fifita? If it’s Boyd, you can pivot to Cleary/Grant anyway if we hear by 24hr cut as Boyd to Fifita would be 1 trade that you should be able to reverse if on bench

    Why haven't the teams been cut?

    Yeppers, but for my money the line between machine learning and econometrics doesn't really exist anymore. The future is cool.

    As above - in government we were often asked 'what happens if x changes?' ... which needs a causal model projected forward.

    In consulting, no-one gave a fuck so long as it sounded complex and I could charge multi-k/day for sweet fanny adams.

    Now, in my happy little world of two (probably about to fail) startups, we're asking "so, how could this work? what would it mean if it works like x? can anyone spare a tenner, i need to eat" and "wait, so if we use maths to treat people like humans, we can guess what they'll do next?! neat! can anyone shout me lunch?"



    Anyway, go the maroons.

    Think I’m leaning towards holding Bula and going DCE in for Robson this week (Fifita or Cleary as other gun pending Fifita news, ideally Fifita for cash reasons)

    Then hoping NAS could make his way up to Latrell’s price quickly for a swap when NAS back to middle. If I sell Bula this week I’m in same hole of playing Russell for any injuries/rests (WFB would have no byes though with Edwards/Ponga/Garrick or Teddy or Marzhew)
