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.
Championship · Regular Season - 8
Championship Round 8: Johnny Kenny and the scorers Fipster never saw coming
Three exact calls landed, but the round was really decided by the names that were not in the pre-match notes. Bristol City, Wolves and Wrexham gave the model its cleanest wins; Preston, Southampton and a lively Norwich-Bolton shootout did most of the damage elsewhere.

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.

Serie A · Regular Season - 28
Eduardo, Hulk and a few late bruises: Serie A Round 28 was kinder to the model than the scorecard first looked
Five correct calls out of ten is not a triumph, but it was enough to show where Fipster had the right read: on obvious scorers in the right sort of game, and on a handful of home wins that never really needed dressing up. The misses came when the model leaned too hard on familiar names and missed the players who actually took over.

Süper Lig · Regular Season - 6
Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor did the heavy lifting, but the round still found room to argue
Five correct calls were enough to keep the week respectable, though Çorum FK, Göztepe and Kasımpaşa each found a way to spoil the cleaner story. The model read the big home wins well; it was less convincing when narrow margins turned into late twists and a goalless stalemate.

Major League Soccer · Regular Season - 26
Anders Laustrup Dreyer and the late equaliser made a mess of tidy forecasts in MLS Round 26
Fipster found five correct calls in Major League Soccer’s 26th round, but the bigger story was how often the model trusted familiar scorers and got nudged aside by the names it had not weighted enough. Inter Miami, Houston and San Jose all supplied useful lessons; Philadelphia, St. Louis and Vancouver supplied the cleaner hits.

Bundesliga · Regular Season - 4
Michael Olise and Harry Kane turned Bayern’s forecast into a rout, while the rest of Bundesliga Round 4 got messy
Fipster landed three calls in Bundesliga Round 4, but the bigger story was how often the model trusted away wins that never arrived. Bayern’s front line was the cleanest read; elsewhere, late goals, surprise scorers and one stubborn goalless draw did most of the damage.

La Liga · Regular Season - 6
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.

Premiership · Regular Season - 3
Bojan Miovski and Mika Baur rescued a grim Premiership Round 3 for Fipster
Two correct calls were enough to stop the week looking worse than it was, but the misses were loud: Dundee Utd, Hibernian and Motherwell all went the wrong way, and the round was decided by scorers Fipster had not named at all.

La Liga · Regular Season - 5
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.

Süper Lig · Regular Season - 5
Gift Orban’s hat-trick and a stubborn Konyaspor upset gave Fipster a bruising week
The round had one clean hit in Beşiktaş, but the bigger story was how often the model leaned on familiar away wins and tidy scorelines only to be undone by early goals, late swings and a few players it never had in view.

Premier League · Regular Season - 4
Kevin Schade and the late goals that made Round 4 harder to tidy up
Fipster landed five calls and missed five, but the round’s real story was not the split itself. It was how often the model found the right winner and still got the margin, the scorer, or the game state wrong — with Kevin Schade, Erling Braut Haaland and a few uninvited names doing most of the damage.

Pro League · Regular Season - 7
NEOM and Al-Hilal did the heavy lifting while the rest of the round made a nuisance of itself
Fipster found two clean calls in Pro League Round 7, but the bigger story was how often the goals came from names it had not backed. NEOM’s win over Al-Fateh rewarded the model’s read on Alexandre Lacazette, yet Al-Hilal’s six-goal surge and a string of scoreless draws elsewhere showed where the pre-match lens was too narrow.
