Context https://fantasy.premierleague.com/drf/bootstrap-static has the information for each gameweek of the Fantasy Premier league. Since the season hasn't started yet, this currently just holds the information for the last gameweek of last season (2017-18). I will add the new data as and when the API updates. Content Most of the columns are pretty self-explanatory. Some things to note:: 1. The **Cost** is given in units of 0.1 million pounds. 2.** Influence**, **Creativity** and **Threat** (and consequently **ICT**) are all metrics that FPL came up with to try and assess player performance. More details may be found here https://www.premierleague.com/news/65567. 3. **TSB** refers to the % of FPL user teams that the player is in. Acknowledgements https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/ always has good stuff. The FPL website has a very helpful API. Inspiration I found a very nice method to use a Linear Programming optimization to build a first trial team. Reinforcement Learning and MDP would be a more elegant approach, and I would love to see what people can come up with. Currently exploring MCMC to build the ideal team for GW1. The volume of data available will increase with each gameweek, so predictive modeling will become a possibility.
