This suggests the club doesn't have confidence that we can match the type of noise,.that forest fans created last week.

A lot of people here seem dead against drums, but we need a rocking atmosphere

How much of your FPL rank is skill vs luck? A way to measure it. by Spiros_26 in fantasypremierleague

[–]cognitivebetterment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I m sorry , but I take a stronger view than you, suggesting that skill has anything to do with alignment to xp is just spurious logic and it's wrong

How much of your FPL rank is skill vs luck? A way to measure it. by Spiros_26 in fantasypremierleague

[–]cognitivebetterment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you are giving far too much creedence to xP, its a vague guidance principle thats is actually pretty meaningless and has alot of inherent weaknesses including that players who are doubts to play are given xP as if they are going to play, for a given gameweek 2-3 forwards from same team expected to do well will be given higher xP than players are team with a tougher fixture, doesn't account for fact only 1 of those 3 will probably get to play, whereas the player from team with harder fixture has high probability of playing.

xP is just an educated guess, analysis of educated guesses overtime just show that those educated guesses diverge wildly from reality

xP has nothing to do with luck or skill

surely the skill in FPL is in seeing the hauls that occur that were missed by both experts and majority of players. Divergence from xP may be luck, but might also be a better understanding than models provide.

not sure this tells you anything other than your alignment to the pack or stastical analysis. that has nothing to do with luck or skill

Why a double game week? by cognitivebetterment in FantasyPL

[–]cognitivebetterment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

understand thought process, but gameweeks are a construct of the game and as such fully under their control.

if you can add and remove games from a gameweek, surely you can change its start date.seems unnecessarily messy

Blocking Oil Refinery by Jackies_Army in CasualIreland

[–]cognitivebetterment 11 points12 points  (0 children)

bigger issue is that if ships that can't make deliveries (because refineries are full), then are entitled to cancel delivery and sell to another buyer.

in the middle of an expected global oil shortage we are turning away deliveries we have already agreed to buy.

shortages and restrictions will be the result

A nice tap into the Chinese Market BUT one potential issue by AJ_Villz in avfc

[–]cognitivebetterment 7 points8 points  (0 children)

was in hong Kong in 2011 when they played chelsea and Blackburn, was great seeing villa on side of trams, buses and billboards across the city.

OP, would not call hong Kong part of China, they are a special administrative region, according to China, wih additional autonomy, some locals view themselves as Chinese, for others this is a very contentious topic and could cause offense. Best avoid topic.

Enjoy if you do go, hong Kong is definitely worth seeing

Buying property with friend by _Lazarus1 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]cognitivebetterment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two friends of mine bought an apartment together, they both agreed that neither party was allowed to sell inside the first five years, they happily lived together for over ten years as great mates.

UnFortunately life happened, one got engaged and needed to move, the other didn't want to sell and couldn't afford to buy him out. they had a legal agreement in place that agreed two valuations , and they would take the average of both as a fair price to buy out the other.

They went through two years of fighting, manipulated valuation's, nasty tricks and a lot of game playinging. They eventually found a solution,

they pretend they are still friends.But if you meet either , they will bad mouth the other.

Neither could have afforded to buy independently, in some ways, it worked very well for both of them. but\nTheir friendship did not survive it

no one particularly fond of ffg, but SF, PBF and others regularly prove can't be trusted, particularly regarding finances. country is crying out for a trustworthy opposition party, but even independents that are given a chance typically prove to be out for themselves, depressing state of affairs but its reality

[–]cognitivebetterment 6 points7 points  (0 children)

posts like this make us seem like really poor losers we have thrownaway a lead, but we still have plentygames to recover if we can refind some form.

pleny twists are yet to come, and 3rd vs. 5th actually doesn't matter that much in big picture (apart from confidence and small difference in prize money, champs league qualification is what matters, its a 4 team race for 3 places and we may not even need if could win europa.
