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.
La Liga · Regular Season - 7
Raphinha made the loudest point in La Liga’s seventh round, and the model only half kept up
Barcelona’s trip to Sevilla was the cleanest read of the week, but the round also exposed how quickly a tidy scoreline can be undone by one wrong assumption. Jonathan David landed a call at Atletico Madrid, Raphinha turned his pre-match billing into a hat-trick, and Fer Niño was the one striker Fipster did see coming in a result that went the other way.

Pape Gueye and Jonathan David gave La Liga’s sixth round a few awkward lessons
Fipster landed five correct calls in La Liga’s sixth round, but the misses were instructive: a couple of tidy home-win reads held, while Villarreal’s comeback at Malaga and Sevilla’s win at Deportivo La Coruna exposed where the model leaned too hard on recent scoring patterns and not enough on who would actually finish the chances.

Roberto Fernández and the late surge left Fipster chasing this La Liga round
Three correct calls were not enough to disguise a rough week. Barcelona still looked the safest away pick, Sevilla’s narrow home win landed, and Real Madrid did what strong favourites often do at home. The damage came from over-trusting several home sides that never settled, while Roberto Fernández, Mohamed Zabiri and a few other uncalled scorers did the heavy lifting.

Barcelona’s five at Valencia rescued a thin week for Fipster
Three correct calls were not enough to disguise a rough La Liga round, but Barcelona’s 5-0 win at Valencia showed the model can still land the broad read when the attacking gap is obvious. The misses were louder elsewhere, especially where away wins were trusted and home sides turned the table over.

Kylian Mbappé and Roberto Fernández made the round look livelier than the model did
Four correct calls were enough to keep La Liga’s opening round from becoming a complete mess, but the misses were loud: several tight home-win reads turned into draws, away wins, or late reversals. The best work came from spotting the right kind of control in Madrid and Espanyol; the worst came from trusting a few matches to stay politely narrow.

Jude Bellingham saved the cleanest call, while Barcelona’s scorers arrived from nowhere
Fipster landed the Espanyol-Real Madrid result exactly, but the round’s bigger lesson was that several of the goals came from players it had not flagged at all. Barcelona’s 5-0 at Elche and Sevilla’s win at Athletic Club were the loudest examples, while a couple of home-win calls slipped when late goals and penalties took over.

Mohamed Zabiri stole the round, and Fipster only found one player call worth crowing about
La Liga’s third round gave the model one clean star, five correct scorelines or outcomes, and four misses that mostly came from trusting familiar patterns too much. The loudest correction came from Racing Santander, where Mohamed Zabiri’s hat-trick turned a narrow home win into the round’s sharpest reminder that one hot striker can ruin a tidy forecast.
