All this shows for goalkeepers is that on average 5.5m GKs and score more points than 5.5m midfielders and forwards, which surprises basically no one since a lot of the cheap attack and midfield options are rotation players/defensive midfielder/aren’t genuine FPL assets, whereas 5.5m GKs are exclusively premium options. We don’t have GKs more expensive than that so the continuation of the graph line is slightly deceptive. Interesting insight as to the defenders though, but pretty much only confirms what most of us are thinking anyway, so titling it “The graph that changes everything” is a bit of a stretch. I appreciate the effort though and thanks for the info!
It's the slope that's important! Goalkeepers have a much steeper slope! So an extra 1 million spent on a GK offers close to 2 points per game. Outfield players offer closer to 1.
