![]() ![]() The points gain and thus the rank change is identical. After all, it does not matter if you captain a 60% owned player or a 1% owned player if they both score 10 points. You would simply choose the players that score the most and win. ![]() If we had perfect knowledge of the points each player would score before it happened, there would be absolutely no need for any of this. Personally, I have some caveats on what I consider to be a useful differential and what is simply a player with low ownership. However, most will agree that anything above 10% overall ownership is not classed as a differential. Your own definition may vary based on what you are trying to achieve ownership inside the top 10k, ownership in your mini-league, etc. DifferentialsĪt Fantasy Football Scout, we often define a differential as a player that is owned by fewer than 5% of managers. There are other similar breakdowns available for various rank levels, such as 100k and 1k, but this is the one we see used most often given its psychological and historical significance as an indicator of ‘successful’ Fantasy Premier League management. This is useful for identifying what needs to happen for you to move rank within a certain boundary, or for comparing yourself to managers of others ranks. In this way, it is only the ownership of that player within the top 10k managers that is considered. Ownership and Effective Ownership in Top 10kĪs the title suggests, this metric simply takes ownership and effective ownership and applies them to the current top 10k. Onto ownership within a certain band of rank we go. Effective ownership will treat you differently at different ranks. However, this impact is not equal across the board. ![]() That same Fernandes 10 point return is effectively 20 points if everyone who owned him captained him whilst you do not own him at all. We would want our alternative picks to be making up the ground here.Įffective ownership gives a more accurate picture than pure ownership over what affect a player returning points will have on your rank. However, ownership in this scenario still provides some level of insurance against a popular pick, bringing you at least some of those points, potentially softening the blow. When this number starts exceeding 100%, you need to be doing more than simply owning the player to gain a rank rise from their performance. In this way, effective ownership can exceed 100%, such as when 75% of managers own a player and 50% captain him, for a total of 125%. It does this by simply summing the aforementioned modifications to produce an effective total. In this way it can model the actual points a player brought their owners in that week. These modifications take into account how many of a player’s owners started that player, how many captained him and how many even Triple Captained him. But it is not quite as simple as that, so we need to go deeper.Įffective ownership is ownership with a few modifications. In isolation, this would likely lead to a fall in rank. For example, if Fernandes scores 10 points this weekend and you do not own him, that is a lot of other managers earning points that you are not. The most immediate use of ownership is to help us decide how much impact a certain player returning (or not returning) points will have on our rank. ![]() Whilst TSB does not extend to enough decimal places for us to know for sure, I find it mildly entertaining that those nine points might have been received by absolutely no one. There are even players with 0.0% ownership, of which one, Matt Phillips (£5.1m) scored and received two bonus points in Gameweek 22. At the time of writing, Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m)is currently the top of this metric, with 57.4%, followed by Son Heung-min (£9.5m) and Patrick Bamford (£6.8m) on 54.4% and 52% respectively. This is represented as ‘TSB’ or ‘Teams Selected By %’ on the official site. Ownership itself, somewhat obviously, is the percentage of all managers in the game that own that player. ![]()
