FPLdata - Read in Fantasy Premier League Data
This data contains a large variety of information on
players and their current attributes on Fantasy Premier League
<https://fantasy.premierleague.com/>. In particular, it
contains a `next_gw_points` (next gameweek points) value for
each player given their attributes in the current week. Rows
represent player-gameweeks, i.e. for each player there is a row
for each gameweek. This makes the data suitable for modelling a
player's next gameweek points, given attributes such as form,
total points, and cost at the current gameweek. This data can
therefore be used to create Fantasy Premier League bots that
may use a machine learning algorithm and a linear programming
solver (for example) to return the best possible transfers and
team to pick for each gameweek, thereby fully automating the
decision making process in Fantasy Premier League. This
function simply supplies the required data for such a task.
