More than two-thirds of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) enthusiasts are planning to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) this season.
The Premier League has returned, and with it, the excitement for fantasy football games is at an all-time high. AI is no longer a novelty in this realm, with more and more fans turning to artificial intelligence to gain an edge.
Jeanie York, chief technology officer at Virgin Media O2, has stated that many fantasy football players are using AI to make smarter and faster decisions. Two-thirds of these players will use AI throughout the season to gain an advantage.
Gemini, a Google AI software, is one of the platforms offering strategies for fantasy football. The suggested team by Gemini includes a mix of established players like Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and newcomers like Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Newcastle's Elliot Anderson. However, there seems to be a mistake in the suggested team as Elliot Anderson, who plays for Nottingham Forest, is listed twice, once in the midfield and once in the defence.
The midfield of the suggested team consists of Villa's Ezri Konsa, Burnley's Maxime Esteve, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, Chelsea's Cole Palmer, and Newcastle's Elliot Anderson (correctly listed as a midfielder this time). In defence, the team includes Nottingham Forest's Matz Sels in goal, Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, Villa's Ezri Konsa, Burnley's Maxime Esteve, and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (defender).
Up front, the suggested team includes Manchester City's Erling Haaland, Villa's Ollie Watkins, and Chelsea's Joao Pedro.
AI's use in fantasy football games is rapidly increasing, leading to emerging strategies that leverage machine learning for real-time data analysis, predictive modeling, and optimized decision-making. Key trends include sophisticated AI tools that simulate draft outcomes and forecast player performances based on extensive historical and live data, as well as AI systems that integrate social media insights and top manager behaviors to build winning lineups.
Platforms like Sourcetable offer AI-driven fantasy football analysts that combine live NFL data with enterprise-grade machine learning to help managers test draft strategies, forecast weekly outcomes, and optimize lineups precisely. Fantasy Football Fix uses AI algorithms to analyze trends from social media posts of top Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers combined with historical data to recommend optimized teams.
While AI tools provide strong projections and player recommendations, they are not infallible. AI algorithms cannot predict who will have a good game on any given matchday. This is where human intuition and league-specific knowledge come into play, emphasizing the importance of a human-AI collaboration approach.
Millions of fantasy Premier League and other virtual game fans will seek competitive advantages throughout the season. Among those aged 25-34, nearly 80% will use AI, while fewer than 40% of those over 65 will try it. As AI continues to evolve and integrate various data sources and predictive modeling techniques, it's clear that it will become a standard competitive tool in the world of fantasy football.
- The increasing use of AI in fantasy football games is leading to new strategies that combine machine learning with real-time data analysis, predictive modeling, and optimized decision-making.
- Platforms such as Gemini, Sourcetable, and Fantasy Football Fix are offering AI-driven services for fantasy football, providing team suggestions, forecasting performances, and analysis of top manager behaviors.
- Despite the strong projections provided by AI tools, human intuition and league-specific knowledge are still crucial in fantasy football, underscoring the importance of a human-AI collaboration approach.
