Best ever OR: 9,394 (2021/22).
If they copied each other they'd have the same ranks, so I think that answers that question

I always find if I try the big-name hokey-cokey I miss out more often than not.

Haha yeah, I think next week it will favour Everton and I think that is when I will have more interest. Brentford just don't appeal to me outside of Thiago.

Last year's GW6 was a pure hivemind thing, every day it was another big name activating, whether they needed to or not. Sometimes the wisdom of the crowd is a good thing but that was pure fear of being wrong.

But this is it, I would never have considered Brentford defence. Now I have, and I have rejected it, but I have thought about it more. I think most people would just get one of them in but it has to be my team, and I would rather wait a week for Tarkowski or two for Gabriel or something.

That being said, I had a look for this week and it is obsessed with me getting Saka in and spending four transfers, but I think it is better to wait a week at least so I have just done Mbeumo to Semenyo. It's a lot keener on Brentford defence than I am too.

Hub is not for me at all. That team rating thing that gets pushed all the time does my nut in. Review is what it is and fair play to them, but what I like about Solio is the customisation. I feel it might be the cross between analytics and instincts that is right for me.

So do I

I do think projection models have made people a bit lazier, and from a personal level that is a trap I will work hard to avoid. It's all about how we interpret the data, and what I find interesting is how ten people using the same solver can have ten wildly different results.

D-Unit stirs something inside of us all I think. I love the lad, fantastic approach to the game. I'm not doing a team selection video, mainly because I've put out four hours of videos this week and I think that's enough, but I will be doing a reaction on Sunday

I'm glad you're enjoying the series mate. Got one more coming out (for now) hopefully tomorrow, which may well be the best of the lot. I completely understand your arguments and feel they have been represented well by D-Unit, and also tomorrow in the one to come

Maybe the best midfield score I've ever seen in a SGW

🤣🤣🤣

That is a fantastic swing, well done
December 14, 2025 at 5:28 PM
Well this is the challenge, and it's one that I think I would do well at. But then I suppose everyone thinks that too. I would argue all our picks are influenced by these tools indirectly anyway
