And after all of that, Evanilson gets the nod over João Pedro. The real big calls.

I can neither confirm nor deny

Should be confirmed that his SKLW team are disgusted by this move from mcspoish and are considering disciplinary options

Small samples? Haven't heard of them mate

It's going incredibly well (ID 892)

Congrats on the wedding!

Yes this is a good addition to the point. Perfect example: who cares that Bruno fell to 8.2? The comeback has been beautiful

Finally, though my overall variance has been rough, I've also been very lucky in terms of captaincy swings going my way. The wild difference between cap and non-cap here tells me I really need to play the game better.

On the flipside, I've never considered selling Bruno and am confident I won't over Xmas. Solves now might tell you it's a good path; I would be amazed if it actually is. If I ever find myself eyeing it up I need to revisit the second post in this thread.

I also took a hit for the original Haaland to Salah switch. This seems relatively stupid in hindsight but it was a straightforward knock on from my GW1 squad not being robust enough (thanks, Quankunku).

The week I got Darwin I was also solving with (very slightly) risk-seeking parameters.

In a way it's turned out alright - my OR has halved over that time and I love owning him, but on reflection I think it was too early to be actively seeking risk. There will be plenty available for free.

The biggest one is I'm taking too many xMins risks. My past three moves have all shown up well in solves and sensanal, but grabbing the short-term EV with each of them has left me with Foden, Darwin and Rashford. No wonder my EV Mins is a lot worse than EV xMins.

People are too quick to use the (excellent) work Trout did on season-long EV of 0.1 ITB to justify early moves. It is right in some cases but imo people have undervalued possible info or even used the changes to pick between close moves rather than only when it's clear as the best path
