Picking a group of veteran FPL managers for the comparing against the top 100k each week

For the last few seasons I have been running a veteran analysis - to see if the picks of long-term successful FPL managers could show the way for the rest of us.

The idea was to compare the transfers and picks of veterans with a sample of the current top 100k for each game week. The analysis tries to exclude "ghost ships" in the top n - ghost ships are no transfers for n weeks and excludes early TC/BB

Each season I spend the first 1-3 weeks downloading the previous season history of everyone in the league Week1. That has now completed

From that I derive a list of (about 2000) "veterans". Managers with a track record of multiple seasons.

I started the veteran selection by just allocating a point score to the rank for each season, based on a logarithm. Someone once suggested that a manager with 3 recent high ranks is at least a good a benchmark as someone who scored 3 high ranks but in the previous decade. So now the points I award get degraded by a factor of .7 for each season back in time.

I then take the top 2000 or so

Results (about 50k of them) are at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mjT4XihjnZ-d1eVc1b4Je5tmBccntB2gTrJAnYeEtWE/edit?gid=1551283212#gid=1551283212

Please do let me know if you think I have missed a significant consistent performer
