Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Advisor

WARNING: Playing FPL can be highly adictive.

Purpose

The purpose of the Advisor Jupyter notebook is to help with the selection of team members for the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) by attempting to forecast how many points players will earn.
It provides visual analysis and uses linear optimisation to recommend a team with the maximum expected points to improve the performance of your current team. The underlying data comes the fpl-data project which in turn gets it from the FPL API. The data is updated on an hourly basis.

If you are not familiar with the Fantasy Premier League, you can watch this introduction:
