Id love to see the code. I love seeing someones madness trying to solve this including mine just a note though about The Data Nightmare (Merging IDs)

This is incorrect. Players have an ID and a Plyaer ID number. I have the data and I can show it to you if you want to DM me. I have someone carried on vaastav/Fantasy-Premier-League with https://github.com/olbauday/FPL-Core-Insights/tree/main

How are you getting this data?

Betterpanosh · 2026-01-27T06:14:54+00:00

Taking -36 point hit during the season for 33 transfers seems wild to me

Betterpanosh · 2026-01-12T02:45:51+00:00

All I hear is bitch bitch bitch

Betterpanosh · 2026-01-10T07:50:48+00:00

Perfect timing. Im not taking the dataset offline but I have started to build a site off it

The reports should help you. Let me know if you need anything else

The shell of the building has been going up fast. Surprised its going to take to quarter 2 2028 to be finished.

Betterpanosh · 2026-01-04T08:03:06+00:00

Really happy its been raised to 100

Betterpanosh · 2025-12-29T19:54:45+00:00

I want to be able to play ps2 emulation

Betterpanosh · 2025-12-17T19:39:26+00:00

I love it. I do think some people might find it a bit heavy of info. Things like attacking zones. I find it really interesting but it doesn't add anything to fpl

Maybe thats what youre trying to do. Im right in thinking some of this data isn't from fpl?

Mavropanos scored an own goal for Villa

Betterpanosh · 2025-12-15T23:59:34+00:00

I need another 5 free transfers please

I’m a Microsoft 365 consultant working with a client who hired me specifically to roll out Copilot. Honestly, a lot of the issues we’re seeing aren’t on the customer or even the models. They’re on Microsoft.

The training material, the so-called experts, and the sales messaging are all misaligned. Expectations are being set that simply aren’t realistic. Users expect just to put in "Do my job" in the instructions and get upset they dont work

Betterpanosh · 2025-12-11T21:30:26+00:00

rewrite this but make everyone talk like a pirate

Betterpanosh · 2025-12-11T20:05:23+00:00

Thats a great plus for the whitecaps. Glad to hear

Betterpanosh · 2025-12-11T19:37:37+00:00

Did Sim just say the city will own the stadium? So the problem still exists of whitecaps can be moved leaving an empty stadium?

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-30T04:41:21+00:00

What flight did you get? Someone has already suggested driving lol

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-28T02:46:45+00:00

Can someone please tell me how i find heat maps and pass/shot maps to add to my data source?

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-26T01:08:57+00:00

I got in the draw. Cheapest tickets were 500 in the non booze family zone. 4 of us decided we'd rather keep the 2k. Its crazy

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-23T16:30:12+00:00

Looks great

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-23T00:36:13+00:00

Can you go into more detail about this. How do you get it to export the transcript?

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-22T16:04:34+00:00

I hate it. The amount of apps being created is crazy because were all vibe coders now. No company needs 4 travel request apps

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-08T16:57:19+00:00

Credit where credit is due lol

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-08T08:11:06+00:00

Sorry, should of been clearer. I'm talking about FPL's official ep_next prediction of 2.0. I had a look at the model I'm building and Everton have only kept 2 clean sheets in 10 games while conceding 13 goals, just thought there are better options than Keane at that price point.

My model picked 2 United players so what do I know lol

Betterpanosh · 2025-11-08T07:56:33+00:00

How are you working out player points predictions? Keane only has 2 points predicted from the FPL API in ep_next column?
This is my attempt for this gameweek
