So the big winners this week will be the coaches without Powell?
Not the start your looking for with a new recruit. Of the 3 options i considered for this position, looks like i selected the worst.....again.
And the worst part, i am stuck with him again next week. Fingers crossed he can turn it around in the second half.
Edit. My half time talked had some effect. Never doubted him.

You guys talking too soon. 
Ok here's what the numbers show based on 3-game vs 4-game weeks. Obviously this is from a very small sample size (being Round 4) and I only included some of the most popular players (some of the top players have only played 2 or 4 games). Interesting to see just how efficient KAT is!
Obviously there are so many factors that change these numbers and outcomes so please take them with a grain of salt. I'll try and put them into a proper spreadsheet format that I can continue to add to so we have a bit more of a sample size as the season goes.

It's early but looking like it's going to be one of those "The Other Guys" weeks where everyone you considered goes hard. Probably a strong bias because of how many of the 4-4 guys played today though. SGA, Giddey, Sengun, White, Vucevic, DeRozan, Jalen Will, Wemby and Mitchell all strong starts that I genuinely considered this week (or prior in Mitchell/Wemby case). Boston and Castle both solid enough.
Thankfully, not a bad start by the guys I grabbed either but Luka, that SGA score is your target now mate, I know you can beat it soundly
Sarr hurts although as one of the most popular on a 4 game week with DPP I'd assume he's starting for most sides so hopefully can bounce back but also not a high harm guy.
Nice recovery by Powell, Harden meh but he's in for 3 weeks worth of play so not going to lose any hair over it. Carrington really solid game. Ended up starting him over Daniels so big call there, especially seeing that Young is out so Daniels could get some big chances but didn't see that until after. Sabonis solid.
Decent first day all round really in what is likely to be a very rough couple of weeks for me given I didn't plan terribly well in hindsight!

Thanks mate! Yeah you can’t get a lot from that but it’s interesting to see that with most players there’s a drop in PPM over 4 games compared to 3, which makes sense. After a while, you’d have a more accurate PPM that you could apply to their projected score on 3 games and compare it to someone on 4.
I'd imagine the single biggest factor on the 4 game weeks is how many games are missed, would expect there's a much higher chance of players missing a game with the 4 game week than the 3 the way players are rested in the modern game. Obviously hurts double if you took a slightly inferior player for that extra game.
