An ‘unlucky’ 70 and an actual green arrow for a change

GW25: Farewell to Maxime Esteve (why have I had him for so long?) and B Saka, and welcome Enzo& Gabriel. Captain Bruno and ready for Kroupi bench jam/pain. OR 2m so it doesn’t matter. GL all!

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKIN ‘ELL

Loss of FBref advanced stats is disaster for women’s soccer data - The IX Sports After Opta forced FBref to pull certain statistics, the disparity between men’s and women’s soccer coverage has become more pronounced.

For The IX Soccer, @catabush.com wrote about the importance of access to analytics and why FBref losing Opta data is a huge blow for women's soccer coverage.

63, not bad at this rank. But nowhere near the Solio +variance required. The season highlights show +EV, massive -var so 🤷‍♂️

GW24: Foden, Tielemans -> Bruno (c), Ndiaye. It’s nice to have 5FT but OR still over 2m😂 GL all!

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.”

Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Huge green!

Argh. Oh well

Switched captain to Foden

GW23: Rolling to 5 FT. At some point this team will score points, but I have my doubts. Let’s get this over with. And good luck!

Prob shoulda used the meme rather than the stark reality

The worst point in my season so far

That sucks. FBREF was the best free data source. RIP

Yup

Currently on a red with 0 to play. Warra gameweek. Again. I’m still enjoying the process, promise

It’s one of those seasons

Great transfer

GW22: Cunha -> Szoboszlai and Haaland cap. OR 2m+. I expect the beatings to continue. Good luck all in any case

Amad Diallo sparkled at Afcon. What does it mean for Manchester United? The Côte d’Ivoire winger was his nation’s best player in Morocco, but his place in a post-Amorim world is uncertain

Amad Diallo has had plenty of ups and downs in his career. Now, he’s a key player for United and just put on a show at AFCON.

I wrote about Amad’s stellar season for @us.theguardian.com:
www.theguardian.com/football/202...

It was Wirtz than expected because I owned him from GW1 and sold him before he scored anything

Talking luck - I’m praying for a rapid regression to the mean next week. Your plan will be more cunning as I don’t have one

Coulda done with a scored Le Fee penalty. Oh well, my season expectations continue to be met. 52, 2.1m OR

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Just saw an ad for a product that supposedly helped NASA astronauts keep warm at -455 C

Game's gone

GW21: Small at the back. Rolled to 3FT and captained you know who again. GL all!

54 and almost cracked the top 2m again 🔥

No Gabriel but yes Thiago. Scenes

GW20: I’ve taken the exciting option of shifting Minteh out for Tielemans. Rank: awful. Fun factor: surprisingly high without the dopamine rush of chasing a good rank and being hung up on variance. I built my own models to understand football numbers - interesting so far, but not FPL ready yet
