Stats focused and still learning. Fabio Cannavariance ftw
Feel like Liechtenstein are letting the game slip away a little

Labour MP Brian Leishman: "The Government has surrendered to... the vile rhetoric of Reform. Does the Home Secretary not see that removing the legal obligation to support asylum seekers who will be otherwise destitute, is as far away from Labour Party principles and values as we can get?"

Sunderland probably won't finish top 4, but their hot start hasn't been all luck.

What the Black Cats are doing right to maximize the talent they have and mask their weaknesses:

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Went deep on Sunderland here. I am still not fully convinced that they are good but that might depend on what ‘good’ means

Is Sunderland Actually Good?
They were a tough team to read coming up but the expectations were pretty low, they have blown them out of the water to start the season. Just how good are Arsenal's next opponents?

GW10: straightforward this week. Barnes (the other one) -> Mateta and captaining the big EBH. Still some holes in the team to sort out! OR 1.7m. GL all🍀

GW9: I’m ready to get hurt again. Welcome R James, Eli Kroupi and A Semenyo. Off you go Foden, Gyokeres and Andersen. Experimenting with my own player model now b/c it’s fun! GL all!

New article: "Shrinkage, Uncertainty, and Son Heung-min: Using Bayesian Methods to Identify Finishing Ability"

which discusses using a Bayesian hierarchical approach to quantifying player finishing ability, with credible intervals to express uncertainty.

GW8: Nothing to see here. After getting over my Semenyo rage I decided to roll to 3 FTs and captain the big guy. Not expecting much this week but good to bank another transfer. Good luck!
October 18, 2025 at 9:47 AM
GW7: Going with this as a chance to actually roll a transfer. Fernandes an interesting captain alternative apart from the fact that MUN are generally awful and SUN have decent defence. Good luck all!

If you’re having a bad week on FPL, it could be worse. You could be Sean Longstaff who benched Sean Longstaff and then Sean Longstaff scored and hauled 15 points #FPL

GW6: Not drowning, wildcarding. I ended up with this lot, choosing Mbeumo over Cunha, defying the machine. I feel better with Haaland in the squad but will miss Salah 🥺Good luck all!

GW4: It’s not looking good. JSL -> Thiago, squandering another FT and now officially lumbered with 2 x NFO defence. Have a better one!

With Ange Postecoglou set to take over at Forest, we went back to look at some DEFCON data from his Spurs spell

His high line + pressing style generally created more DEFCON chances for opponents than for his own players 👇
