Are there any good review / solver shortcuts or hacks people don't use enough or aren't aware of?
Setting mins to 95 and looking at prgi/cs is a good one

NEW with @simonkuper.bsky.social:
The prevailing narrative around increased injuries and player workload in elite football is wrong.
Players don’t play any more football than in the past. What has changed is a sharp rise in intensity of play.
Not more minutes, but each minute exerts more load.

FPL Optimized started as a quiet corner for analytics lovers. Now those ideas echo across the FPL world. Loved playing a small role in it.
We'll be ending the pod after this season, because it feels like the right time. (Can even say it's optimal!)
New episode coming tonight.💛

Imo, the most effective ways to gain leverage on FH is not to chase low EO punts, but to build team stacks - particularly in defence. It's such a powerful strategy that DFS (daily fantasy sports) tournaments have stacking penalties to combat this
There was only one def triple up in these drafts...

You're 40 points behind with 6 GWs to go. Can you still win your mini-league?
Depends who you're up against.
Based on past gameweek averages, here's what data says.

This is HUGE
One more big addition to the fplreview.com toolset...
- "Binary Fixture Solves" integrated into the linear optimiser
- Enabled "Chip Plan => Search" with binary solves
This allows users to solve for all possible fixture permutations and gain insight for transfer & chip planning

hollywood and the music industry were able to... not totally eliminate this but significantly reduce this by accepting where customers actually were and adjusting the business model with spotify, netflix et al.
is football going to whine about it or accept the new reality and adjust?

I know this is the type of story that has many of you looking for your smallest violins but I suspect your favourite teams have been bankrolled by pay-TV money, so there are consequences to pinching this stuff.

DAZN, Sky bosses warn that rampant piracy threatens broadcast industry with financial crisis
'I think there’s almost an argument to say you can’t get exclusive rights anymore because piracy is so bad', a DAZN executive said.

Welp. From my most favourite to my least favourite gw of the season. Brutal 70% red, Salah punishing me for a captaincy decision and process I wouldn't normally follow.

What a week! An absolute vibes based decision just before deadline netted me 13 points. Watkins was nowhere near top line on my custom xmins but went for it after seeing a load of others do it too!
Have now got to spend every ft to navigate gw29, fragile times. But a 50% green feels so sweet.
