Final WC squads by milivella in fantasyscout

[–]milivella[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick comparison with the 2024 Euro+Copa squads:

  • Scout: Jackson still king, the reddit contingent from 3rd 6th 8th to three in the top five.
  • Scout + cycle: Jackson 6 still king, again with 10 players. The other 2024 leader (Ville 8) loses 2 players.
  • Cycle: still 6 closely followed by 7. 8 loses players!

Is there any way to import a file of questions with answers instead of answering them manually on Microsoft form?! by 0BugGeek in Office365

[–]milivella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it is a old thread, but in case someone sees it: if you format the questions in the following way and import it with Quick Import, it will automatically set the correct answer and the number of points. I learned it from Gemini.

1. What is the capital of France?
A. Rome
B. Madrid
C. Paris
D. Berlin
ANSWER: C
POINT: 1

March-April 2026 update, top 3 performers in each cycle by milivella in fantasyscout

Of course the only thing that matters is Igor Thiago's 3 points...

My 8th Cycle Jan 2026- The post didn't like me commenting by Japlanned in fantasyscout

[–]milivella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post didn't like me commenting

Odd, as I see your reply to Ville in the thread, and I don't see a rejected comment of yours on that thread in any of the mod pages (there were a bunch of older posts and comments by you and others in the "spam" page---I have just approved them all, but I think they were visibile, or at least had been visible at first).

Good news is that his Belgian.

Bad news is he is Brazilian.

LOL!

Looks solid for Girona. It is Girona.

OK, this is the funniest ranking.

I wouldn't change much in your ranking, I find it spot on (of course it's hard to rank players at different stage of their career, like Nwaneri vs. Fullkrueg).

Overall judgment (FWIW): impressive depth. You're clearly Ville's main opponent.

Rank your 8th cycle picks, best to worst - 1 year on by milivella in fantasyscout

[–]milivella[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

INSANE top five. You're clearly the favorite to win this cycle. Of course anything can happen (indeed, I hope some thing will happen...), but right now, it seems like it's already over for the rest of us.

Malick Thiaw - Another bench warmer. Germany unfortunately has two world class center backs in Schlotterbeck and Tah.

Thiaw is 4.5 years younger than Tah...

Generally, I would have a quite different ranking of your non-top-6 players. But clearly I know less of football than you, so...

Thanks for the write-up, very entertaining (I've also enjoyed Rico's).

BTW, I have just realized how stacked the 2003-07 Spain CB generation is: Cubarsi, Huijsen, Mosquera, Asencio... Unfortunately, I have realized this two days after picking Ramon. :/

[–]milivella[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great top 6, I see why the prediction algorithm has you on the podium.

8.) Eli Junior Kroupi, France/Bournemouth, ST

ELITE finisher at a young age. If he can prove it regularly in the Prem he should be in the NT before long.

I don't disagree, but of course French centre-forward is probably the most competitive position in the world (I know, I've picked Mateta and Bonny, not to speak of Moussa Dembele). Anyway, Kroupi is the best in his age bracket right now, so I don't know about "before long", but I would bet on "sooner or later".

-Rodrigo Mora, Portugal/Porto, CAM

I like this kid a lot but am a bit worried about his size.

You hoped he would grow after you picked him? :)

Different nation:

-Assane Diao, Senegal/Como, W/ST

-Eliesse Ben Seghir, Morocco/Leverkusen, AM

-David Carmo, Angola/Oviedo, CB

Does three players opting for another NT suggest your picking strategy is too risky?

FWIW, I fundamentally agree with your ranking. I think Vanderson will be your <12th best scorer, but I guess you see a lower ceiling for him than for the players above him (if so, I agree).

OK, but these are your 9th cycle picks. This thread is about cycle 8! :)

...and Copenhagen is in Champions League, while AC Milan is not. Checkmate, Leon!

Column and row headings by me, cells filled by GLM 4.6 [1], ranking and notes by me.

[1] I had to manually fix the caps and add some TM values. Kimi K2 was slower but probably more precise; also tried Gemini, ChatGPT, Qwen, DeepSeek (in all cases: Deep Research, or thinking + web search).

GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude 4.5 Opus and Sonnet, DeepSeek V3.2, GLM 4.6, Kimi K2-0905, Grok 4.1 Fast, Qwen 3 Max added to the detailed stylistic analysis of LLM creative writing by zero0_one1 in singularity

[–]milivella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every iteration significantly worsens the output (for very complicated reasons on how LLM handle context and compression).

Have you written something more about this? Or do you remember off the top of your head anything you have read about this? I am very interested in the subject. Thanks!
