Gameweek in Review
Every round, we go back over what we called — the pick that came off, the one that missed, and the players who actually decided it.
Eredivisie · Regular Season - 10
Nigel Thomas and Nicolas Binder gave the round its sharpest correction
Fipster found one exact scoreline in Eredivisie Regular Season - 10, but the bigger story was how often the goals came from names it had not flagged. Heerenveen’s Jacob Bennedsen Trenskow still justified the pre-match read, yet Nigel Thomas, Nicolas Binder and a late Rodrigo Guth winner did most of the damage to the wider picture.

Premier League · Regular Season - 8
Nicolas Jackson, Bournemouth and the round that made a liar of the table
Fipster found one perfect call and spent the rest of the weekend watching the league take a sharp left turn. The lone hit came with Liverpool’s Alexander Isak; the bigger story was how often the model trusted home advantage and familiar scorers, only for Nicolas Jackson, Marcus Tavernier and a few others to write their own version of events.

Czech Liga · Regular Season - 12
Jonatan Braut Brunes stole the round, and Fipster only half saw it coming
Sparta Praha were the one clean hit, but the bigger story was how often the goals came from names Fipster had not put front and centre. Jonatan Braut Brunes turned a routine home win into a rout, while Sebastian Nebyla and Tomáš Čvančara did the damage in the places the model had looked elsewhere.

Major League Soccer · Regular Season - 31
Joseph Paintsil and Malte Meineche Amundsen turned MLS Round 31 into a lesson in missed assumptions
Fipster found one clean result in Portland, but the round mostly punished tidy attacking reads. The biggest hits came from the names it trusted most; the biggest misses came when the goals arrived from elsewhere, or when a game stayed level long enough to spoil the neatest scorelines.

Ligue 1 · Regular Season - 7
Lyon and Paris FC were the clean reads; the rest of Ligue 1 made the model work for its supper
Three calls landed, but the round’s real lesson was harsher: Fipster trusted a few tidy home-win patterns that never arrived, while the goals kept coming from players it had not put front and centre. Lyon and Paris FC justified the confidence. Marseille, Auxerre and Rennes did the damage elsewhere.

UEFA Europa Conference League · League Stage - 2
Albian Ajeti and Thomas van den Belt made a mess of the map
Fipster found two clean hits in a round that otherwise leaned hard the wrong way, with late goals and unexpected scorers doing most of the damage. The model liked a few familiar names; the round preferred Albian Ajeti, Thomas van den Belt and a handful of others who had not been invited to the party.
2 STAR · 4 TICK · 11 MISS
UEFA Champions League · League Stage - 3
Serhou Guirassy and the late goals gave this round its edge
Fipster landed eight correct calls in UEFA Champions League League Stage - 3, but the misses were loud enough to matter. The cleanest hit came where the scorer read held up; the ugliest miss came where a heavy home favourite was undone by a striker the model had not properly priced.

Premier League · Regular Season - 7
João Pedro Neto, Brighton and the round that slipped away from Fipster
Three calls landed, seven did not, and the misses were mostly about trusting the wrong end of the table or the wrong scorer list. The cleanest hit was Brighton’s comfort against Crystal Palace; the ugliest miss was Newcastle’s defeat to Aston Villa, where the model leaned hard on home firepower and got a single strike from Johan Manzambi instead.

Süper Lig · Regular Season - 8
Süper Lig’s eighth round mostly followed the model, then let a few late names have their say
Six correct calls out of nine is tidy enough, but the round was more interesting for where Fipster missed: Çorum FK and Kocaelispor both went against the grain, while the player sheet was rescued by names like Mohamed Salah, Mbaye Diagne and Cengiz Ünder. The bigger lesson was simple enough — the model had the right read on several home wins, but it still leaned too hard on a couple of scorer lists that never quite arrived.

Czech Liga · Regular Season - 11
Pardubice were tidy, the clean sheets were not: Czech Liga’s round belonged to the late names
Fipster found two correct scorelines in a round that otherwise leaned away from its pre-match read. Pardubice’s 3-0 win was the neatest hit, but the bigger lesson came from the misses: several games turned on scorers the model did not name, while a couple of the strongest attacking calls simply never got going.

Major League Soccer · Regular Season - 30
Lionel Messi Cuccittini and Morgan Guilavogui made a mess of the tidy reads in MLS Round 30
Fipster found one perfect call in Austin, but the rest of Major League Soccer Round 30 spent most of its time arguing back. Lionel Messi Cuccittini, Morgan Guilavogui and a late Dániel Sallói goal did the damage where the model had leaned elsewhere, while the one clean hit in Austin showed the underlying logic still has teeth when the match stays on its rails.
1 STAR · 2 TICK · 12 MISS
Championship · Regular Season - 11
Wrexham’s 4-1 and the scorers Fipster left out in the cold
Five correct calls were enough to keep the week respectable, but the round’s real story was elsewhere: Wrexham’s win over Preston landed cleanly, while Liam Millar, Joseph Worrall and a few other uninvited names did most of the damage across the division.
