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 - 5
Championship Round 5: Millwall’s 4-0 and a few wrong scorers told the story
Fipster found one exact scoreline and four useful calls, but the round was mostly decided by the names it did not see coming. Millwall were the cleanest hit; Stoke City, Preston and Norwich supplied the sharper reminders that a decent outcome call is not the same thing as reading the scorers properly.

Premier League · Regular Season - 3
Alexander Isak and Tyrick Mitchell made a mess of the tidy scorelines
Fipster found two correct calls in a round that otherwise slipped away, with Manchester City and Arsenal landing the model’s best reads while Alexander Isak, Tyrick Mitchell and a string of late levellers did the damage elsewhere.

Czech Liga · Regular Season - 7
Tomáš Chorý and the names Fipster missed most made a mess of Regular Season - 7
Three correct calls were enough to keep the week from slipping away entirely, but the round’s loudest lesson came from the players Fipster did not have down first: Tomáš Chorý, Martin Šubert and Vasil Kušej all scored without being called. The model found a few neat reads, yet it also leaned too hard on familiar scorers in matches that turned on different ones.

Major League Soccer · Regular Season - 23
Vincent Janssen and Maren Haile-Selassie turned Round 23 into a warning label for tidy forecasts
Fipster found five correct calls in Major League Soccer Round 23, but the round kept slipping away from the model wherever late goals, penalty drama and unexpected scorers took over. The cleanest reads were on the games that stayed close to the pre-match script; the ugliest misses came where individual finishing mattered more than the broader shape of the contest.

Premiership · Regular Season - 5
Lawrence Shankland and the late equaliser in Dundee gave Premiership Round 5 its sharpest edges
Fipster landed the Hibernian-Heart Of Midlothian call cleanly, missed badly at Dundee, and spent the rest of the round watching uncalled scorers do most of the talking. Lawrence Shankland was the loudest of them, while Fraser Taylor, Dylan Levitt and Alexander Lowry all turned up where the model had not pointed.

Czech Liga · Regular Season - 4
Sparta Praha’s 4-1 turn-up, and the round that left Fipster chasing the wrong names
Two tidy away calls landed, but most of Regular Season - 4 belonged to scorers the model had not singled out. Sparta Praha’s heavy win over Teplice was the loudest example, while Plzen and Sigma Olomouc at least kept the sheet from going completely blank.

Championship Round 4: Swansea’s clean hit was the rare bit of certainty in a messy weekend
Fipster found one exact scoreline and two more decent calls, but most of the round turned on scorers it had not named. Swansea’s 2-0 over Watford landed neatly; elsewhere, the model leaned too hard on home comfort and away strength, and the goals arrived from rather less polite directions.

Süper Lig · Regular Season - 3
Dušan Vlahović blew the round open, but the model’s cleanest win came in Samsun
Süper Lig’s third round gave Fipster one exact hit and a few tidy away-win calls, but the bigger story was how often the goals came from places the model had not named. Dušan Vlahović’s hat-trick, Oğuz Aydın’s control for Fenerbahçe and a late Kocaelispor turn-up all mattered more than the pre-match neatness.

Primeira Liga · Regular Season - 4
Porto and Sporting did the heavy lifting, but Estrela made the round awkward
Fipster got the big away wins right at FC Porto and Sporting CP, yet the round still found room for a couple of awkward misses: Famalicao stalled at 0-0, and Nacional let Estrela turn a 2-1 lead into a 3-2 away win. The model was strongest where the favourites were ruthless; it was shakier where it assumed control would last.

Serie A · Regular Season - 24
José López and Kevin Viveros Rodallega did the heavy lifting; Serie A Round 24 mostly argued back
Fipster found five correct calls in Serie A Round 24, but the misses were loud enough to matter: a clean read on Palmeiras, a sharp call on Atlético Paranaense, and then several games where the model trusted familiar scorers a little too much. The round’s lesson was simple enough. The right names were often in the frame; the wrong ones were often the ones who actually finished the job.

La Liga · Regular Season - 1
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.

La Liga · Regular Season - 2
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.
