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.

Championship Round 8: Johnny Kenny and the scorers Fipster never saw coming
Three exact calls landed, but the round was really decided by the names that were not in the pre-match notes. Bristol City, Wolves and Wrexham gave the model its cleanest wins; Preston, Southampton and a lively Norwich-Bolton shootout did most of the damage elsewhere.

Championship Round 7: West Ham’s rout, and the scorers Fipster did not see coming
One exact call landed cleanly in Derby, but the round belonged to the names the model left off the page. West Ham’s 6-0 win over Wrexham was the loudest miss; Sebastian Berhalter, Oladapo Afolayan and Manor Solomon did most of the damage elsewhere.

Championship Round 5: Millwall’s 4-0 and a few wrong scorers told the story
Fipster found one exact scoreline and four useful calls, but the round was mostly decided by the names it did not see coming. Millwall were the cleanest hit; Stoke City, Preston and Norwich supplied the sharper reminders that a decent outcome call is not the same thing as reading the scorers properly.

Championship Round 4: Swansea’s clean hit was the rare bit of certainty in a messy weekend
Fipster found one exact scoreline and two more decent calls, but most of the round turned on scorers it had not named. Swansea’s 2-0 over Watford landed neatly; elsewhere, the model leaned too hard on home comfort and away strength, and the goals arrived from rather less polite directions.

Championship Round 3: the model found four tidy wins, but the scorers had other ideas
Fipster landed four scorelines in Championship Round 3, including Southampton, Middlesbrough, Norwich and Bristol City, yet the round was really defined by the names it did not see coming. The biggest lesson was simple enough: the broad direction was often right, but the goals came from players outside the pre-match frame.

Championship Round 2: the model found two clean calls, then spent the rest of the afternoon chasing the wrong scorers
Millwall and Lincoln were the only tidy hits, but the round’s real story was how often the goals came from names Fipster had not flagged. Taïryk Arconte, Isaac Price and Fer López did most of the damage, while several narrow away-win calls turned into flat afternoons or worse.

Championship Round 1: Fipster found four clean calls, but the goals came from elsewhere
The opening Championship round gave the model four exact scoreline hits, yet the bigger story was how many of the decisive names were not on its pre-match list. That is a useful sort of wrong: close enough to show the read was there, loose enough to remind us where the gaps still live.
