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 Nations League · League C - 4
Marcus Edwards was the one call that landed cleanly in a round of loose ends
Fipster found three correct scorelines in UEFA Nations League League C - 4, but the round was really defined by two misses that overtrusted familiar scorers and one tidy hit where Marcus Edwards did exactly what the model expected. The rest belonged to late goals, unexpected names and a few scorelines that were less obedient than advertised.

UEFA Nations League · League A - 4
Michael Olise and the late surge gave League A - 4 its clearest lesson
Four calls landed, two went badly astray, and the round ended up being decided less by broad team reads than by the players Fipster had either trusted or missed. Michael Olise was the sharpest example of that, while France’s late burst and Italy’s steadier read of Türkiye did most of the talking.

UEFA Nations League · League B - 4
Viktor Gyökeres was the one clean hit in a messy League B night
Sweden’s early strike in Romania was the round’s only proper model success, while several stronger-looking calls were undone by late goals, a missed penalty, and a few scorers the model never saw coming.

UEFA Nations League · League C - 2
Slovakia were the clean read; the rest of League C - 2 mostly took the scenic route
Fipster found one proper result in Slovakia’s 2-1 win over Kazakhstan, but the round was otherwise ruled by flat scorelines, late swings and a few scorers the model never saw coming. The lesson was less about bravado than about where the pre-match clues were thin, and where they were simply ignored by events.

UEFA Nations League · League B - 2
Sweden, Switzerland and Bosnia made the loudest arguments while Fipster spent the round chasing the wrong end of the pitch
Three correct home calls were not enough to disguise a rough League B - 2. The model found Austria, Sweden and Slovenia, but it missed the bigger swings: Ireland’s three-goal win in Israel, Bosnia & Herzegovina’s four in Romania, and Switzerland’s tidy away job in Scotland.

UEFA Nations League · League A - 2
Spain and Italy did the heavy lifting while the model spent the rest of the round guessing wrong
Two clean calls came from Spain and Denmark, but the round was mostly decided by players Fipster had not named: Lamine Yamal, Mexx Meerdink, Michael Olise, Harry Kane and the rest. The broad read was too optimistic about home wins, and a few tight calls turned into rather less tidy evenings.

UEFA Nations League · League B - 1
Sweden’s clean hit, Austria’s late flourish, and a round that punished overconfidence
Fipster found one perfect scoreline in Sweden v Romania, got two more calls over the line, and spent the rest of League B - 1 learning that a neat 2-1 can be a fragile thing. The round was decided less by broad patterns than by a few sharp individual turns: Mohamed Amdouni in Switzerland’s rout, Jan Oblak keeping Slovenia alive, and late Austrian goals that made the margin look kinder than it had any right to be.

UEFA Nations League · League A - 1
Haaland, Harry Kane and Luka Modrić made the noise; Fipster mostly heard the wrong tune
Two correct calls came through in a round that otherwise leaned hard against the model. Portugal and Norway landed, but the bigger story was how often the goals came from names Fipster had not backed: Erling Braut Haaland, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé and Luka Modrić all had their say.

UEFA Nations League · League C - 1
Finland’s seven, Luxembourg’s late theft, and a round that split the model in two
Montenegro gave Fipster its one clean hit, but the rest of League C - 1 was less polite. Finland ran riot in San Marino, Luxembourg nicked Bulgaria away from home, and several of the round’s biggest scorers were players the model had not put front and centre.
