From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There are three main ingredients when it comes to picking the right players in your fantasy football team - form, fixtures and value.
A player's form is measured by his average fantasy points scored in his last six games, known as PPG6 (points per game from his last six games).
The top fantasy football managers calculate a player's value with a formula known as PPM (points per million). Dividing a player's total score by his value will show you how many points you should expect a player to net, per million spent, from your overall fantasy football budget.
There is also PMG (points per million, per game) and PMG6 (form and value combined).
