I have updated the predictions.

According to the predictions:
- My top 11 players have been picked in cycles that are not the 3rd.

Actually the top 9. One of the next two, tied at 82 predicted points, is
from the 3rd cycle.

My point arguably stands.

- The only cycle that I have >30% chances to win is the 3rd.

The power of the collective, I guess.

Asterisk cycle.

The sentence after the asterisk being "this is the last cycle rewarding
real scouting skills".

Quick stats (append prefix "According to Wikipedia..." to
each of them):

386 of 1,704 players do not play for a club (= are retired?)

Top 10 clubs with most FS players:
26 Chelsea

So basically... the whole of their Premier League squad!

Let's check!

I'm taking the squad from https://www.premierleague.com/en/clubs/8/chelsea/squad
and marking the players as either:
- P = picked
- N = not picked
- U = uneligible (because of their nationality)

Goalkeepers

P Robert S|inchez
U Filip J||rgensen
U Gaga Slonina
N Max Merrick

Defenders

P Marc Cucurella
N Tosin Adarabioyo
P Beno|<t Badiashile
P Levi Colwill
P Jorrel Hato
P Trevoh Chalobah
P Reece James
P Malo Gusto
P Wesley Fofana
P Josh Acheampong

Midfielders

U Mykhailo Mudryk
P Enzo Fern|indez
P Cole Palmer
P D|irio Essugo
P Andrey Santos
U Mois|-s Caicedo
P Facundo Buonanotte
P Rom|-o Lavia
N Reggie Walsh
N Landon Emenalo
N Ollie Harrison

Forwards

P Pedro Neto
P Liam Delap
N Jamie Gittens
P Jo|uo Pedro
P Tyrique George
P Marc Guiu
P Est|-v|uo
P Alejandro Garnacho
N Shumaira Mheuka
N Ryan Kavuma-McQueen

I say: Gittens aside, all the good ones that could be picked were
actually picked.

Interesting that Tosin was never picked despite
having been England youth international, youngest
Man City CL starting player etc.

Good (non-)scouting.

I'm not sold on Gittens, yet... he's still young and raw.

I am surprised nobody bothered with Tosin though.
