Top 10 Optimal Captains


Using a computerized formula Elite Sports News is able to generate a player points Projector for Dream Team & SuperCoach using a series of objective criteria against numerical historical data. Some of the objective criteria are short & long term form, strength of opponent & home/away short & long term form to name a few. These projections are estimated to be at least 20% more accurate than merely relying on season averages. (This is based on our 2010 projected results & the 2010 season averages in testing)

Elite Sports News has put no subjectivety into the rankngs of these players. It is purely based on what the projection software thinks.
