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.
Ligue 1 · Regular Season - 5
Lyon and Monaco were the tidy reads; Toulouse and Marseille did the damage
Fipster found three correct calls in Ligue 1’s fifth round, but the bigger story was how often the goals came from names it had not flagged. Lyon and Monaco justified the model’s home lean, while Toulouse, Nice and Paris Saint Germain all punished the away-win bias with late or awkwardly timed strikes.

Ligue 1 · Regular Season - 4
Rennes, Auxerre and the late scorers made a mess of the model’s neatest ideas
Three calls landed, six did not, and the round’s real lesson was that several matches were decided by players Fipster had not flagged at all. Rennes beat Marseille, Auxerre nicked Nice, and the biggest damage came from goals by Cameron Archer, Adrien Thomasson and Paris Josua Brunner that sat outside the pre-match script.

Ligue 1 · Regular Season - 1
Lille and Marseille landed the cleanest calls, but the round belonged to the scorers Fipster never saw coming
Five correct calls kept Ligue 1 from turning into a full-scale embarrassment for the model, yet the misses were loud enough to matter. Lille and Marseille did what was expected; Lens, Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC did not, and the round’s biggest damage came from goals by players Fipster had left out of the picture.

Ligue 1 · Regular Season - 2
Paris FC and Rennes were the bright spots in a rough Ligue 1 round
Fipster found only two correct calls in nine, and both came from home wins that were more convincing than the model’s scorelines suggested. The bigger story was elsewhere: several matches turned on scorers it never named, with Gessime Yassine, Esteban Lepaul and Paris Josua Brunner doing the damage the model did not see coming.
