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.
UEFA Champions League · League Stage - 1
Fipster got the big names right, but the round belonged to the ones it did not see coming
Two exact scorelines and a decent pile of home wins gave the model a respectable night, yet the round was really decided by the players it failed to pin down: Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Erling Braut Haaland and Martin Ødegaard all turned up where Fipster had not named them.

UEFA Champions League · Play-offs
Fipster’s play-off read was lively, but the round kept changing its mind
Three correct calls from eight is not a disaster in a knockout round, but it is a reminder that the play-offs do not care much for tidy scripts. Fipster found the right side of a few scorelines, yet several ties were decided by scorers the model did not name, and one went past 90 minutes when the forecast wanted it done earlier.
