NEW with @simonkuper.bsky.social: The prevailing narrative around increased injuries and player workload in elite football is wrong. Players donβt 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.
End of an era. Pioneers
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.π

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. π www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

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.

βοΈ Merseyside Derby Impact on the AM24 Points Gap A Liverpool win (~68%) puts Slot owners at least 5 points clear, however there's also plenty of points available for an Everton upset. Data: @elevenify.com

π 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. Data: @elevenify.com & me
I drew a helpful EV probability distribution to easily visualise the difference between Slot (red) and Moyes (blue).

DGW25 Assistant Manager Points Projection π Expected points for managers over next 3 GWs, assuming potential doubles for each team DGW25. Points include weighted probability of table bonus based on the likelihood that they are eligible at that time. Based on team ratings from @elevenify.com
You better know I'm reading this ASAP
Bournemouth continue to cook and there's a new starter (π‘!) who warrants evaluating! So I figured I'd make a new (far too long) π§΅. Again, I'm not a Cherries fan (hope they have an off day on Sat), just a regular watcher and admirer of Iraola-ball and their players. So take this for what you will
