Probability distribution of the difference between Arteta and Slot's assistant manager points for GW26. The expected value is that Arteta outscores slot by 3.90 points. Arteta outscores Slot 72.99% of the time, and Slot outscores Arteta 18.52% of the time. The distribution is mostly a single plateau between 0 and 10 point difference in Arteta's favour.

Probability distribution of the difference between Glasner and Slot's assistant manager points for GW26. The expected value is that Arteta outscores slot by 3.62 points. Glasner outscores Slot 54.00% of the time, and Slot outscores Glasner 35.84% of the time. The distribution is erratic. The highest likelihood outcome is a relatively even affair, with smaller spikes occurring at +10 and +20 in Glasner's favour, but also -5 and -10 in Slot's favour.

Box plot showing GW25 point projections for all Premier League Assistant Managers. Liverpool and Villa lead (17.4, 15.8 mean). Other teams cluster 2-13 points. Displays mean (black line), interquartile range (solid pink), and 5-95th percentiles (hatched areas)

GW25 Assistant Manager Points Potential 📊

No surprises that Liverpool lead in expected value.
However, an interesting choice is presented to managers yet again: safer floor or higher ceiling?

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

For the record, Santa enjoys good old rum. Dark,, blended even white in a pinch. Not that Agricole stuff that's degenerate and about as bad as scotch.
