Scripts to optimise my premier league fantasy football team so I don't need to do anything.
TBC
No current structure. Planned structure is as follows:
- To gather relevant data sources, such as the FPL API, historical data and potentially news.
- Apply mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approach for initial team selection.
- Create rolling gameweek on gameweek update scripts.
- Automate the entire process as much as possible so I don't need to do anything.
- Decision Variables: Define binary decision variables for each player, indicating whether they are selected in the team or not.
- Objective Function: Define an objective function that represents the performance you want to maximise.
- Budget Constraint: Ensure that the total cost of selected players does not exceed the budget constraint (100M). This can be formulated as a linear constraint.
- Team Limit Constraint: Incorporate the constraint that the selected team should not exceed the limit of players from a single team.
- Position Constraints: Define constraints to ensure that the number of players selected for each position (e.g., goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, forwards) matches the required number of players in each position.
- Total Player Constraint: Ensure that the total number of selected players is equal to 15.
Generally speaking: In our problem, we have last seasons data on the players in Fantasy Football. We have from the API, curated a dataset, which is a csv file (player_data_22-23.csv). Within this, we have the following columns: Player ID,Name,Team,Position,Cost,Total Points,Minutes,Goals Scored,Assists,Clean Sheets,Selected By %,ROI,Points per Minute,PpM ROI. We cannot have more than 3 players from a single team. We cannot spend over 100M. We can have a max of 15 Players. We can have a specific formation of players, such as 15 players spread across 2 goalies, 2-5 defenders, 2-5 midfielders, 2-3 forwards. We want to maximise the ROI and make sure we spend as little as possible on the best possible bench to maximise money available for the remaining 11 players on field.
To run the code use Python and the dependencies in the requirements.txt file.
The code in this repository may have specific dependencies depending on the script. These dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt file. Please ensure you have installed the correct dependencies prior to running the code.
