- highest ranking try scorer
- intermediate penalty taker
- lowest conversion taker
We have no proof that sorting a team each week by ranking brings a stronger correlation on single GW scores, i.e. that the currently highest ranked have a higher chance to get a better GW score next....
Will this lead easier to conversion takers having to "waste" their skill because they scored better than their try scorer,
as the positions will not be reassigned with the members changing performances over the season?
Some leeway was indeed taken by paring Highest with Lowest after gw 25 in the two positions.
We'll see... in game first GW there was no such occurrence in 6 teams.
Then the Penalty position is not compared towards his try+convert teammates, but versus the opponent's Transfers,
so it's less relevant whether he outscores his teammates on a GW
On another consideration, the above means that if the try scorer hits a patch of bad form, and/or another teammate a purple patch, so that they switch ranking in FPL, the team here is stuck in the GW25 "formation" and can't profit of the better form to "promote" another member to try scorer.
Was this choice just in order to make the sidegame easier managed, or an intended preference about the game "philosophy"?
