Badminton post, because I'm Malaysian. Based on the medals won by each country in 2024, it's great to see MAS on the same tier as KOR, THA and DEN. Heartening is the fact that on top of the 6 veteran representatives who have won 3 medals each, we have breakthroughs from MS and XD for the future 🥰

Absolutely brilliant from the #FULWOL game from Cunha and Bellegarde, leaving their 1st half, half-space roles - Cunha popped up on the right to help retain ball - Bellegarde drives in from left - Cunha moves in centrally to link - Beneficiaries are the central midfielders pulling wide Gomes goal

The Wolves defense in this #FULWOL game has a cohesion issue with another new pairing in central midfield. Iwobi's goal faced no pressure from midfield and I'd be not surprised if ESR turned up 2nd half after subs One of Bellegarde/Cunha has to hustle in deeper positions to fill in their gaps.

Fulham defense can't be faulted IMO; they were caught out by a really good Mario pass in this #FULWOL game. Both fullbacks aren't THAT involved going forward, though; Robinson does kinda look scammy as an #FPL asset as his underlaps are awkward for Reiss Nelson to work with.

R.Gomes on the left is doing crazy work for Wolves in the #FULWOL game. This is keeping RAN at home though :( and Cunha is linking everything as a result from the half-spaces, sometimes urging RAN forward into hazardous positions. It's nice to see Cunha himself mopping up anything astray <3

Fulham's triangle system in the #FULWOL game that has one of the two forwards drop deep is working really, really well. They're trying to isolate Iwobi/Nelson against an awkward fullback but Semedo can ACTUALLY defend and it was only when Nelson took on Lemina that Raul hit the crossbar

"The essence of humility is not thinking more(or less) of myself, it is thinking of myself less" - Tim Keller Mainstream numbers, especially in #FPL prop up a player only hypes him up for the fall. If #analytics could serve a purpose less than the player, it has done its job.

Quote of the Day: "Everybody Counts or Nobody Counts". In my #FootballAnalytics job, every young prospect thinks they're the main character of a show. External forces hint it at us when they recommend a child with talent. When the work starts, you'll either immediately see his impact if it's true.

I've been venturing into a possible analytics profession for the whole of 2024 and safe to say that it's starting to bear fruit after multiple business pitches, much owing to Gabe from Net That Haul. I look forward to share our capabilities here ^_^

Looking forward to use this as my spam account, especially since I'd like to practice providing analysis in posts rather than threads. I've missed the #FPL community, as dysfunctional as it has been
