Only today discovered saxophonist Getatchew Mekurya. Fuck yeah
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 👇
I thought my FPL ID this year was my worst ever, until.... 🤯🤯🤯
For anyone who missed it, a few friends and I have spent all of our free time over the last 18 months building an FPL tool (@solioanalytics.com). Check it out!
Introducing Solio: A New FPL Tool 📺 @pras-fpl.bsky.social and @jonnyc.bsky.social are joined by @trout-post.com to showcase the tool’s different features and how it can give you a competitive edge in the 2025/26 FPL season. youtu.be/p9cabL8lfdY
I had the privilege of participating in the testing phase of the new Solio FPL tool! I particularly liked how you can run deep optimisations with your own assumptions baked in. It’s the kind of tool you’ve always wanted. Try it yourself! @solioanalytics.com #FPL #FPLCommunity #Solio

We’ve been anything but on the beach since the FPL season ended. @robtfpl.com and @cmusson.uk have joined Solio as partners, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. Read all about it in our latest newsletter: solioanalytics.beehiiv.com/p/robt-moose...
RobT, Moose, and a Complete Beta Test (almost)
solioanalytics.beehiiv.com
First time our FPL projections are out in the wild. Using RobT's expertise in spread markets and our own analytical approaches, we built it together. Seeing it actually show up in people's timelines as something useful and worth sharing makes me really happy.

Welcome to Solio Analytics.
"Assistant Manager" chip, modeled. ✅ It’s live on the 'am-chip' branch of the solver for testing until the next GW deadline. Includes 3-player limit, ITB, chip restrictions and some initial preliminary projections from @trout-post.com and @jonnyc.bsky.social 🚀 Plan: merge into main this weekend.
Sweaty gimp/Dell Inspiron lifestyle is in fact very fun 🥵🧑🍳
It's so convoluted that I don't see how even analytics heads will find it fun to model. You'll just feel like a sweaty gimp spending so much time modelling a chip so complex that average players have no chance of working out themselves without the latest Dell Inspiron. There's no fun in that.
I calculated the EVs for the Assistant Manager in each fixture. For now, not factored in probability of being 5 places below so: Pts = EV if they not 5+ places below Pts++ = EV if they are 5+ places below From my team strength model

FPL Towers this season: - Started with the most enjoyable asset pricing in recent years by far - Made changes to FT & chip rules which have made FPL planning much more enjoyable and interesting - Introduced a new chip which is more ambitious & strategically fun than any suggestions I've seen
Mystery/Assistant Manager Chip is great, should be really fun & interesting
New samples are added to #FPL Season Highlights page 🔥 Now you can compare your season to: - Analytics Elite 64 (Run by @analyticf.pl) - Elite 64 (Run by @fplgeneral.bsky.social) - Bullet Wisdom (Analytics Discord) - Analytics Elite Qualifier (Run by @analyticf.pl) fploptimized.com/highlights.h...
In GW9, all Elite 64 members owned Haaland. I WCd into a team without him. I did this not because of any analytics/optimisation insight, but bc City's years of corrupt organisational ethics were bound to result in Haaland kicking the ball with the wrong part of his foot, sometimes even his ankle
Salah and Haaland ownership% in Analytics Elite 64 and Elite64 minileagues Elite64 managers were less keen to start with Salah, but were quicker to pick him up for GW4/5, and much keener to double up with Haaland for that period. AE64 managers were quicker to drop Haaland for Salah in GW10.
GW12 Interesting decision made this week on Lewis -> Digne or roll. The immediate points are worth slightly less than the FT, but this is clearly the best opportunity I'll get to remove Lewis before GW17 and he could continue to plummet in value over the next several GWs. (VC is accidental)

As the bombardment continues in Gaza, bodies such as Fifa and the IOC have evaded taking a stand. But fans’ solidarity with Palestinians is growing and should not be ignored

Have been thinking about takeaways from the wonderful bps podcast from @aboveaveragefpl.bsky.social and I think I have found something vaguely interesting re: forwards and the value of their first goal vs additional goals. This season forwards have 191 bonus points from 110 goals.
