(THREAD)
There will be no real theme throughout this thread like I usually have. Simply wanted to talk about a couple of topics from the past few gameweeks.
Let’s start with Leicester assets that have a great schedule coming up with eve, LEE, ful, wol. It seems like...
Barnes vs Maddison vs Vardy
xG: 0,49 - 0,12 - 0,35
Touches in the box: 5,25 - 1,33 - 6,67
Shots: 3,5 - 2 - 3,33
Shots on target: 1,5 - 0,67 - 0,67
Key passes: 0,5 - 2,67 - 0,67
FPL points: 6,5 - 7,67 - 4
Interestingly enough it’s actually Harvey Barnes that has shown the most promise out of the Leicester attack in recent weeks, especially if you look at value for money with Vardy being...
Kane over the last 3 games (LEE, FUL, shu) vs the previous 3 games (liv, LEI, wol)
FPL points: 29 - 6
Goals: 3 - 0
Assists: 1 - 0
xG: 2,07 - 0,22
xA: 1,64 - 0,05
FPL points: 20 - 14
Goals: 1 - 1
Assists: 0 - 2
xG: 2,32 - 1,12
xA: 1,26 - 0,15
Looking at these stats it’s obvious that especially Kane has improved a ton because of the better fixtures. When...
Man City defense
Let’s take a look at Man City’s defensive numbers since GW10 just to see how unbelievable they are:
xGC (expected goals conceded per game):
Man City 0,41
Arsenal 1,02
Leicester 1,1
Chelsea 1,17
Aston Villa 1,21

Aight. Here’s my favorite 2 stories about Bill Russell.
Both stories reveal how much of a humble human being he is. And one blows my mind because it dismantles what we think about the evolution of sports.
A thread:
The first is, that there is an assumption that today’s athletes are faster, stronger, etc. which is is based on ZERO evidence.
For instance, Wilt Chamberlain benched 465 lbs at 59 years old. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he benched 500 lbs on the set of Conan the Destroyer
Most basketball experts say Wilt has the highest vertical leap in NBA history. A few others argue that Michael Jordan did.
I think they’re both wrong.
Why?
Well let me tell you a story:
In 1956 Bill Russell was selected for the US Olympic basketball team
During this time, pros weren’t allowed in the Olympics, so the International Olympic Committee tried to say that he was ineligible since he had already signed with the Celtics, even though he hadn’t played yet
Luckily, Russell prevailed and led the team to the gold medal as the captain.
But if they would have stopped Russell from playing for the US basketball team, he would have STILL been in the Olympics.
How?
Because Bill Russell was one of the greatest high jumpers I. The world.

Where is the thread? Love when you give us your take on these players. The KC Jones piece was outstanding. Had no idea.

==========================
Module 1
Python makes it very easy to analyze and visualize time series data when you’re a beginner. It's easier when you don't have to install python on your PC (that's why it's a nano course, you'll learn python...
... on the go). You will not be required to install python in your PC but you will be using an amazing python editor, Google Colab Visit https://t.co/EZt0agsdlV
This course is for anyone out there who is confused, frustrated, and just wants this python/finance thing to work!
In Module 1 of this Nano course, we will learn about :
# Using Google Colab
# Importing libraries
# Making a Random Time Series of Black Field Research Stock (fictional)
# Using Google Colab
Intro link is here on YT: https://t.co/MqMSDBaQri
Create a new Notebook at https://t.co/EZt0agsdlV and name it AnythingOfYourChoice.ipynb
You got your notebook ready and now the game is on!
You can add code in these cells and add as many cells as you want
# Importing Libraries
Imports are pretty standard, with a few exceptions.
For the most part, you can import your libraries by running the import.
Type this in the first cell you see. You need not worry about what each of these does, we will understand it later.
