This week's philosophy comes courtesy of @hailcheaters 🙌
The irony of promoting seizing opportunities when it went so bad for wild-carders is not lost. It's precisely in these moments to remember to seize those opportunities when they arise again. And they will.
Thank you again for spending your most valuable resource (time) with my thoughts.
All the best to everyone this weekend. In #FPL, but mostly otherwise.🤗
Please remember to show the love by sharing the love if you feel the love. ♻️💛

Welcome back to my article where I use my coaching lens to explore matchups in the #PremierLeague to gain some insight in navigating our #FPL decisions.
Enjoy.🫶

I have dearly missed putting articles out recently, so I am very much looking forward to sharing these long overdue thoughts. This week’s article is a combination of a scouting report and matchup analysis. 🧐
I have been working on some of these elements for a few weeks so some of the data may not be of current gameweeks, but I believe the concepts still apply.
Even when I am unable to publish an article, these ideas are always discussed weekly on @NetThatHaul. youtube.com/c/NetThatHaulF…
Hi and welcome back to my weekly matchups article where I use my coaching lens to explore matchups in the #PremierLeague to gain some insight in navigating our #FPL decisions.
I have been intrigued and perplexed about 2 teams in particular this season, the Hornets, and the Bees. Coming out of my wildcard, I recognize that my analysis of Sarr last GW stopped when I saw his team did not attack very much.
This narrow perspective clouded the possibility that Sarr could haul in the next couple of gameweeks. This thought led me to think that I may have a similarly narrow perspective of Brentford.
To afford CR7, many managers are looking at Demarai Gray who has a goal in each of the last 2 matches. He showed his value to Everton in preseason as he played a variety of different positions to some acclaim.
Everton paying only £1.5m for that kind of versatility is not only good business, it’s straight up gangsta. The question is whether he is worth £5.6m to us in #FPL.
Gray has become a consideration for those looking to free up cash to move to the forward line.
It has been said, & indeed it fits with memory, that Ronaldo gets a lot of shots close to the goal, so I looked at CR7s shots over the past 3 seasons. It turns out that last season CR7 scored significantly more non-pen goals from 12 yards + than from inside 12 yards.
Over the past 3 seasons, the average distance to goal of Cristiano’s shots were 17.9 yards, 18.8 yards, & 17.6 yards. For comparison, Bruno Fernandes’ average shot distance over the past 3 seasons has been just a few yards back at 24.2 yards, 22.0 yards, & 19.2 yards respectively
