GW 2 - Recap

This... I don't like this...

Saka and Palmer potentially out for GW3 though troubles me even more

GW 1 - Recap

I should be happy with the performance, as my model expected ~57 points and I got 68 out of the GW.

That last minute Salah goal though turned what could have been an awesome start into "only" a good start into the FPL season.

@fplresearch.bsky.social had a good answer for this.
For overall sample 90% skill / 10% luck, among elite, it is 40% skill / 60% luck. Sth along these lines.

Spurs' 4-0 win over Man City seems to have raised the fanbase's expectations dangerously high for a team still in crisis

NEW: something a bit different!

Ever wondered how accurate FPL price change predictors are? I was, and so I’ve built a website that tracks their performance daily.

Find out which site is getting it right (and which isn't):

Just thought it was interesting that this shows the opposite of what you’ve said here.

Analytics players instantly moved off Haaland for GW10 while non-analytics took a few gameweeks longer.

I've updated the 11v11 xG difference after 12 games. Liverpool and Arsenal lead comfortably over Man City. Fulham's position in the table could improve, while Forest and Brighton's results may not be sustainable in the long term

Luck relative to pre-match expectation and luck relative to xGI/in-match actions are different things, and when the two come apart it doesn’t make good sense to me to talk about luck simpliciter.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

It’d help if we got notifications when people like, retweet or comment on our retweets
