@EssexCountyFA Why have you reposted this?!

Great quote this: I especially like the bit about Silva's perceived weaknesses. You see this in the way the unenlightened 😂 talk & think about 'smaller' players; they think Pep sprinkles some sort of magic, they never think it is the systems, ideas & philosophies that not only..
Before I joined the club, Pep was already an inspiration for me. To become his player and after 9 years end up being the one with most games played under him is truly an honour. He arrived at Man City, and the Premier League couldn’t be dominated playing his way… Well, they were wrong. Not only he dominated, he changed the game in England as he did in other countries before. The hunger and ambition to want more and more even after winning and winning again was a big inspiration. For me personally, he was and will always be my father of football. A lot of the things that many managers in the past thought were weaknesses of my game, he saw it as strengths and understood me from day one. On a personal level, the kindness, trust and respect that we had for each other makes me the proudest and goes beyond football. I couldn’t be more grateful for what he did for me and my family. Thank you for all the memories and experiences to the greatest manager ever Pep Guardiola! 😄

...play to small and technical players strengths as individuals but enable these like-minded players to synergise together and become far stronger than the sum of their parts

1) players should be allowed to celebrate goals 2) fans should not throw things onto the pitch 3) fans should not verbally abuse players 4) players should not verbally abuse other players 5) if you think a player's celebration has provoked you to feel anger, look in the mirror

Missed this when it was posted. Nice to have independent approval of the great work that goes into the RMT model! Thank you @MidnightMuleFPL

For the 20 weeks of the season so far, @FFScout are best overall, and best for all positions except for the GK which goes to @SolioAnalytics . Second best overall is @SolioAnalytics with the third best being the average of all predictors. @fplgameweek are second best for GK and DEF, @fplreview are second best for MID and @SolioAnalytics are second best for FWDs.

Not sure people realise how good the Planner is on the @FFScout app- it just keeps getting better and better. Can easily spend a few hours on it, planning away to your heart's content. Great work from Reece and the team!

Current ideas: Frimpong could be essential, Johnson a potential break out player with Son leaving and Maddison out, VvD can easily become Gabriel, Saliba or Gvardiol (keen to see whether he plays as a centre back or not), Watkins and Tielemans take advantage of AVL's lovely 1/3

fixtures, Pedro a placeholder and easy to switch to another similar price striker, Cherki a punt that I probably won't start the season with- will wait on team news but a player I think will establish himself as one of the best players in the league, Salah & Palmer cover 2/3

Our initial first stab projections are now live- this includes DC points projections (breakdowns can be found on the projections page). If you have a FFS account, have a gander. 🙌🧐

Modelling the DC points has been quite fun. In the next few days, we'll be strengthening these by chucking in pre 2023-24 DCs into the model. (Currently just 2024-25 DCs, nothing earlier)

Modelling defensive contribution points is proving to be quite fiddly!

Mad to think that 16 months ago @richardkone17 was playing against my Sunday league team. We had founded 4 years before in the bottom division in our league system & worked our way up to the top. First day of the season we're 3-2 up with 20 minutes to go. Richard turns it on...

And we get beaten 6-3. Richard tore us to pieces. We played his team 4 times in our first 7 fixtures of the season (twice in the league and in both cups), losing each time, helped by Kone's superiority and class! A humble and nice guy too! youtu.be/6Qs0lkaudNU?feature…

Love references to second order rates of change by footballers but surely only the first derivative is needed?!
