THIRD AND OUT...WORLD CUP CURSE

When Robin van persie scored the owngoal against czrch, it signified the end of a cycle for the dutch. From flying to head them to great heights in 2014 to falling to score the owngoal in 2015. It was dissapointing! it looked like the worse thing ever to happen but was it?
coincedence or fate

We took a trip down memory lane to checj it out but surprisingly, ALL third place teams at the world cup since 1982 have been european and intetrestingly, ALL of them bar current world champions Germany in 2006 and 2010, have failed to qualify for the next euro as shown above

BOTS VS EXPERTS: PREDICTING THE BEST TEAM FOR GW34

Good evening and welcome to the continuation of our series. Choosing a team for a game week can be hard. Sentiments and personal preferences can cloud ones judgement. There have been many FPL sites that try to predict the team for the week but there is usually a large discrepancy. My plan in doing this article is to compare human analysis (totw from experts on different sites) to AI analysis (totw from bots on different sites). Now these sites are expected to churn out different teams every week irrespective of transfer limitations. The difference is that the experts bring their teams based on strict FPL formation and price while the bots simply bring out the best set of players from their algorithm projections. For this study, I'll be using 8* sites. 4 have bots (fantasy football fix, first, overlord and assist) while 4 are human experts (fantasy football scout, fpl academy, thefpl blog and the official fantasy app scout). The team of the week is entered into my F
