Opta Supercomputer Prem League Predicted Finish

I felt reasonably confident you can buy a sh*t laptop on the cheap, however, the next challenge is to prove that you can run some Excel formulae on it to generate a league table prediction. Can we at least agree on "probably"? 😂

You can update the FM (football manager computer game) database with current players from FM scout. Then run a simulated season without being a manager yourself. You would get a prediction from that. It wouldn't be that hard for someone who often does that. They often superpower Liverpool however, but that could easily be correct this season. It's probably more in depth than the supercomputer to be fair.

I am calling into question whether a 'supercomputer' was used. What spec is this? I work in IT where the infrastructure has to support an entire banking network and there's never once been speak of a supercomputer. Are they just used for launching rockets and predicting the Premier League table? Or is it just on overused term that's meant to convince us of its accuracy? Why am I so angry about this? 😂

I get it mate. I'm thinking a long the same lines. I mean there's a f***ing quad-core or something in mobile phones these days. I think my laptop is octa core or something. There is loads of memory around Servers are terabytes and s***, probably more - I presume you wouldn't need particularly much to simulate 38×38 matches. I reckon a 48k Spectrum could probably do it. Definitely a Commodore 64.
They probably use an Amiga with a thermal printer and dial up modem. Utter bastards.

Even if they did use something really high spec, I reckon if you got 20 drunk people in a pub to write the final league table and then averaged their answers, it'd give roughly the same results. As long as they weren't Brighton fans, they'd probably include Leicester and put themselves third.

If Willo represents us, we're straight down - bottom with a record low points.

Small computer in Crawley predicts table doesn’t have the same gravitas 🤔
