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 - 7
Guus Til and Anis Hadj-Moussa made the loudest arguments in a round Fipster mostly read well
One perfect call, four decent ones, and four that missed the mark left Eredivisie Round 7 looking sharper than the raw record suggests. The model found the right kind of away wins in places, but it also trusted a few familiar scorers who stayed quiet while new names did the damage.

Eredivisie · Regular Season - 4
PSV Eindhoven and Ajax did the heavy lifting, but the round still found a way to bite
Fipster got the broad direction right in Eredivisie Round 4, with away wins for Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, NEC Nijmegen and Twente all landing. The trouble came where the model trusted familiar home edges too much: Groningen, Feyenoord and Willem II all slipped up, and the biggest individual damage came from players nobody had flagged before kick-off.

Eredivisie · Regular Season - 1
Ajax were the only away side to make the model look tidy
Three calls landed, six did not, and the round’s clearest lesson was that home advantage was a poor guide in a week when Excelsior, Telstar and Ajax all left with something more useful than politeness. The model found a few narrow home wins, but it missed the scale of the damage in some places and failed to spot where late goals would matter most.

A tidy away lean, then a few home comforts went missing
Fipster came out of Eredivisie Round 2 with one star, five ticks and three misses. The broad shape was sensible enough: away wins were often the right side to be on, but a couple of home favourites were asked to do too much, and two draws slipped through where the model wanted control. The round’s best call was the one that trusted Sparta Rotterdam to win away; the worst was the one that expected Ajax to keep things neat at home.
