Some of you might remember that I did this towards the end of last season, and I've finally had time to bring it up to speed for this season, and hopefully we can carry it on.

The results so far are, well, Lord Sugar wasn't pleased:

I've included the Excel file so far so anyone can update this as we go along, rather than waiting for me to pull me finger out. Sticky this perhaps?

nice work, although it is at the moment more of a "hall of shame" thread, but together we can change this. believe. etc.

I have a suggestion though; in order to even it up a bit - i.e. remove some of the more random hauls - then maybe we could limit the top scorers of the week to those players that actually made it into the poll?

I know that's probably a pain to implement, and i would love to volunteer but *insert excuse*. my point is that no-one was going to captain pilkington/jarvis/johnson/drenthe for their respective matches anyway, so the comparison on those weeks in particular is a bit skewed.

this change would, for example, make the captain poll on GW8 just about right. and make everyone on this forum look a bit better than they are at this game.

Added to the above, I would query whether we should have a big fat 0 as per GWs 4 and 6. In these instances, I would suggest that the second in the poll were promoted to Captain in the same way our individual teams would automatically have the VC promoted.

That's a good proposal, seeing as those '0's' were for non-appearances rather than actual zeros as it were. Can't be bothered to update now, but me (or whoever it is) could certainly amend that as long as it's flagged as such.

It would be nice (although certainly a lot of legwork and I'm not expecting anyone to actually follow up on this) if we had another column for an overall GW average of all players that were sane captains picks (as in notable MFs/FWs with good fixtures or playing for a top 3/4/5/6 team). Trouble is that's a LOT of work and a very subjective judgement call for several players, but it would give a more balanced and realistic view of how FISO is doing compared to reality, rather than just using 20-20 hindsight as the comparison. Maybe even an average score for the players included in the poll each week (or mentioned as alternatives in the thread) would be more viable to calculate, but again not really expecting anyon to actually work it out.

would only take 2 goals or a goal and 2 assists, wouldn't be that improbable.

(Edited for not realising RVP didn't have bp's added yet)

Not everyone votes and some pick another option on purpose, so how would you know?

I just think it shows how useless we all are and how little we know about picking a GW captain. :wink: :lol:

It's a little bit of light hearted interest that's all. It doesn't actually prove anything but there again most statistics don't.

THERE ARE LIES, DAMN LIES AND STATISTICS

Please explain 'i think its decent' what's decent about it? its piffle and pointless. There's about 300 other players who have a chance of out scoring the captains poll choice so it's likely that they wont be the top scorer. If you want a logical comparator surely just the captain poll choice's should be used.

No disrespect to the person who created the thread.

Crooker are you sure its not Crocker!!!

RVP is reliable, hardly a groundbreaking conclusion to make though.
