Incredible to watch the Lionesses retain their Euros title🙌 Big props to Chloe Kelly for taking the winning penalty but Hannah Hampton was once again incredible in goal and deserves a lot of praise for keeping Spain out!

Independent poster front

Worth a listen (I'm only 20mins in) - it's a different approach to analytics based play

Would also add that I think Sarina deserves big credit for making the call to take her. It's a massive decision to leave out Fran Kirby and take a 19-year-old with three WSL starts to her name.

Great to watch her in action. Amazing performance this evening!

Good piece. I don’t think it’s a good idea to train any LLM on social media data. But this version of Grok is probably a feature not a bug

Women's Euros GW2 predictions (GW1 turned out ok)

V2. I wasn't happy with Spain's team strength (this isn't using any data from the Euros so far though)

GW1 Women's Euros model 🤓I dusted off my team strength model, did a proper treatment of home field advantage and came up with some xG predictions and stuff. So far so good, although I have my doubts about Wales-Netherlands. But we'll see

For perspective: a recent study suggested that economic savings from just a *single* well-predicted hurricane, thanks to NOAA research advancements, are on order of *$5 billion.* That exceeds NOAA's *entire proposed annual operating budget.* So much for government efficiency.

Get it to the big man and let him dominate 3 giant target strikers linked to moves. Plus Ollie Watkins, Fabian Ruiz rumours.

Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

A right paddling!

Thank you for sharing this Ben. As you say, everything makes sense now - I can relate to this

What's Really Warming the World? What's Really Warming the World? Climate deniers blame natural factors; NASA data proves otherwise

10 years ago today, we dropped a thing that people still ask me about regularly.

The question "What's Really Warming the World?" still has the same answer.

He’s gonna have fun fact checking all that first (not that I think that’s his intention)

2024-25 EPL Season Injury Review - Premier Injuries The ultimate review and analysis for all English Premier League player injuries across the 2024-25 EPL season. We reveal the true cost of the fallen heroes...

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒-𝟐𝟓: 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰

The headline numbers are in - injury incidence and burden are down across all metrics - compared to the previous PL campaign... but they're almost identical to 2022/23.

▫️ Time-loss injuries - 593 ⬇️ 9.5%

▫️ Days Out - 21451 ⬇️ 14.6%

▫️ Games missed - 2597 ⬇️ 14.9%

Word of the day: internecine

Here's the MD rankings for the record. Finished a bit better than I thought, but my +variance dropped off a lot as the season went on and finished on 55% relative to elite 1K. 1 hit all season was ok - need to save more transfers early on next season

51pts and dropped 10K😢58K to finish. All in all an ok season, more enjoyable than previous ones as I played a bit more casually. More of the same in future I reckon!

GW38: The final frontier. Trippier, Marmoush -> Schar, Evanilson. It is what it is, and soon will be was what it was. OR 47K and MD ranks around 1K. Good luck all!

Knocked off 0.6 xG from Tottenham after seeing the injury/hangover list!

💹 PL GW38 updates

Post-press conference latest - with final pre-deadline updates tomorrow

🔹 5 teams now projecting 2.5+ goals - LIV, ARS & BOU lead the way
🔸 ARS, NEW & BOU all 40%+ CS odds
▫️ Updated #FPL AM projections - Pereira top choice with Spurs win% taking a tumble

Outcomes next. All eyes will be on NFO-CHE, MUN-AVL, NEW-EVE and FUL-MCI in the race to decide UCL spots. And LIV-CRY should be a goal fest. Hope you've found these useful. I've certainly enjoyed doing this more than FPL😀 I'll post some performance stats relative to the market next week

GW38 PL model. Team strengths: a clear top 4 and bottom 3, and a two tiered middle with EVE, MUN, WHU, WOL and TOT falling away from the rest as we've seen in the table. ARS finish as best defensive team, and LIV as best attack

‘Not too much damage’ achievement unlocked. 57 and a tiny green to 48K. That’s absolutely fine this season

Over the past five seasons, #FPL GW38 has averaged over 20% more goals per game than the rest of the season - and there's always been at least one thrashing! 👇
