I like football…. And data. And thus, FPL.

Follow for a combination of the three.

Best OR: 23.000
No specific fixture has seen as many #PL games with at least five yellow cards in the first half as Everton-Liverpool (3: today, in 2021 and in 2003).

Feel like that Atalanta goal was very much in the air at #BRUATA.

Club Brugge are doing well keeping Atalanta to mostly harmless possession on their own half. Problem is, they’ve let Atalanta’s fullbacks have too much possession. Both Zappacosta and Bellanova on 4+ crosses already …

I have found out that I barely post when there’s no PL.

Not because I don’t want to, but because I have kind of niched myself out and now have become just an FPL account.

But I like so much more football. UCL and Dutch mostly. So I’m wondering, what should I do?

I might do a lot of #FPL statistics, but I also love to do the extracurricular research.

Justin Kluiverts girlfriend is highly pregnant (calculated early February).

Means he might miss a match due to the birth + tired from lack of sleep schedule after?

The more you know 😏
Nice spot by @robertohollis9.bsky.social .

Think that means I’ll be getting Kluivert this week.

This would make Gordon to a Bournemouth midfielder such an easy transfer in #GW25 #FPLCommunity

I have seen this said more often. Here in The Netherlands, this had been the case pretty much between 2010-2020 for our cup

Then the FA decided to give the winner our ‘third-best’ European ticket: EL group stage.

And guess what? The cup is a huge deal again! Maybe give the FA Cup winner a CL spot?
It's sad how I feel about FA Cup these days; used to be such a big deal when I was growing up

But now it almost feels like an international break for me unless my own team is involved

Nothing quite sums up the 2024/25 season as Man City trying to waste time at the corner flag against Leyton Orient.

Not football related but this makes me so, so happy to see.
this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

❗Data Deep Dive Week 6❗

Moyes' Everton look reborn, fresh and full of quality after his hiring, whereas Amorim's Man United looks even more grim then in the Erik ten Hag era. For this week, let's dive into the famous concept of the 'New Manager Bounce'.

A thread ⬇️

Thinking about doing another Data Deep Dive, after last weeks succes on Gakpo.

Anything you guys want to see covered?

Can be anything #FPL related or not, would just love to see any engagement here so I can get some inspiration!

HE’S DONE IT AGAIN!
The number 1 in my #FPL mini-league has just come out with the fact he’s doing his FH this week and is lining-up with triple Everton defence.

Safe to say it’s his first year playing and he’s got really lucky on multiple occasions.

Just wanted to let y’all know Everton will keep a CS against LEI.

Lewis Dunk has scored Premier League goals for four English clubs who have won the European Cup, despite never playing for any of them.

📊 Slot vs Moyes - DGW24 Points Distribution

250k simulations reveal Moyes's higher ceiling but more volatility, while Slot shows a tighter points range.
Risk vs reward in visual form.

Can anybody confirm this is a good idea or tear me to shreds? Need some feedback…
Okay last one, let me hear it!

Do I go for a -4: Castagne to Konate and get Slot in?

Might actually be worth it to cover my bases with the Tottenham-Liverpool game…

Okay so hear me out. What if:

* I don’t AM or TC in GW24, as the doubles are just awful.
*Either TC on Salah in GW25 if LIV go through or AM on Silva if TOT go through?

Will be perfect, no? #FPL

Do I go Gakpo -> Wissa to bring in Slot #FPL 🤔
January 31, 2025 at 3:33 PM
I need to free up money for AM (guess that is the new META)

Posting my team for 2 days (shame on me, i know) but I need the help of all BlueSky geniuses!

Help me out (please)!

Will have to take a hit, i know.

I hate posting my team on here, but I need your help.

0.7 ITB, 0FT (1 made). If I would not want to play my TC this week, but still have all of my chips, does anybody have ANY viable strategy for me until end of the year?!

Otherwise: am i just forced to play my TC like a sheep? #FPL

Just wrote my first, longer, data driven piece on #FPL here on BlueSky. Please read, and let me know if you like it.

It took a lot of time and I would like to do more of this, so let me know any tips or what you would like to see next!
❗DATA DEEP DIVE❗

After seeing a lot of people make the argument Gakpo was not a good #FPL asset for the double as he has only scored once away from home this season, I had to go ahead and see if the numbers support this as a valid argument.

Thank you and enjoy the thread!

I’m thinking about not TC Salah in DGW24 because I really, really don’t have a good feeling about it.

However, since I have all my chips and won’t FH29 , it seems I will have to TC on Salah this GW just because I’m gonna run out of time.

Anybody have any groundbreaking chipstrategies for me? #FPL
January 27, 2025 at 3:31 PM
If there is anybody who understands FPL solvers thoroughly and has a video online/wants to spend your valuable monday-afternoon time teaching me, DM me or reply!
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
January 27, 2025 at 3:28 PM
With Ouattara’s hattrick, Bournemouth became the third team outside of the traditional top-6 to score 3 hattricks in a #PL season this century, after Fulham in 2011/12 and Newcastle in 2010/11.

Then, it was Dempsey, Pogrebnyak and A. Johnson for FUL and Best, Nolan and Carell for NEW.
