Wildcard Team #3 - Medium Team Value

Following on from team #1, a Dream Team with unlimited budget, and team 2, a team optimised with a low budget of £100m here is a team with an improved budget of £103m.  I hope this is representative of a typical team this season.  I've taken a look through teams in some of the minileagues I'm in and this value seems about average. 

As was the case for those first two teams, I have excluded Goalkeepers as they are not built in to the  model . I have set aside a £10m budget for them.  I have split the team selection into two parts too, the first 10 and 3 subs. The team is built using optimisation software that will try every combination of players to find the team with most points for the dosh.

Set-up:
Budget:  £80m First 10 Outfield Players.  £13m for 3 subs.  £10m reserved for two goalies.
Formation:  Determined by optimisation program
Range:  Based on a 10 week flat points projection.  No transfers or clever strategies!
Double Gameweek Points are factored in.

A-Team

 
 Comments:

• This team is not too dissimilar to the low value team.  Van Persie is now affordable with  the loss of one very solid defender in Luiz for QPR's Hill. 
• Hill is a surprise pick, no doubt.  He's £4.3m and obviously rated statistically by my model.  You might prefer someone like another Stoke defender, Demel of West Ham, or someone else.  The point is that the optimisation prefers Van Persie and a budget defender to a cheaper forward and better defender.
• Walcott, Fellaini, Mata and Bale are becoming ubiquitous in my Wildcard teams, whatever the criteria I input.  Perhaps getting a bit boring.
• Similarly, Fletcher and Berbatov are two very high value players and as such any team optimisation I do wants to plug them in. 
• The subs I am not too concerned with in this post.  There are alternatives which I will discuss in a seperate post before the end of this week dedicated to bench players

As noted, there's a bit of repetition creeping in with my Wildcard teams so what I've done for this next team is exclude the 13 players selected above and re-ran the program to give you a look at a B-team.

•  This is a more rounded team to me, akin to the typical FPL team 
• Aguero's injury ruled him out of this team  Otherwise he'd come in for Lambert and Cazorla would downgrade to Marveaux.
• Michu, Hazard and Cazorla are pretty much straight replacements for A-Teamers Fellaini, Mata and Walcott.  
• Can the front three in this team plus Walters offset the lack of Bale and RVP?  
• The forecast points difference between the A-team and B-team is actually quite high, approx. 50 pts over 10 weeks.

Which team do you prefer, and why?  Please let me know in the comments.

Still to come this week are a high value team, a differential team, and a team of really wild punts!  Thanks for reading :)
