S20 Best XI - Week 0 by LemonBluu

[denismov]

Denis Mobek here. First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude for being selected in the S20 Best XI—it’s an incredible honor to be recognised among such a talented group of individuals. This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and countless hours of effort Ive put into my craft. I’ve always believed that hard work pays off, and this recognition only motvates me to continue pushing my limits and proving why I belong in that elite lineup. I’m grateful to my teammates, coaches, and fans who have supported me throughout this journey, and I’ll keep striving to make them proud.
Now, addressing Badrick, @denisbigfan1, I understand your fruytration. It’s never easy to feel overloked, especially when you believe your abiliies deserve recognition. However, venting and demanding a revision wont change the outcome. The truth is, if your skills were as exceptional as you claim, your performance would have spoken for itself. Instead of focusing on criticszing me or attempting to elevate your own standing, perhaps it’s time to reflect onhow you can improve and let your actions do the talking.
Let’s be clear you’ve never outshined me, whether on or off the field. But if you truly believe you can, Im ready. I’ll see you out there, and we’ll let the game decide. Until then, keep working hard and channel that energy into your performance. See you on the pitch, bud.

This was a nice read, I especially liked the use of your LemonBluu script for the player selection. What sort of factors did you set the script to consider when it was picking the players; did it look for the same sort of stats for pairings like full-backs, centre backs, and wingers, or was it aiming for variety in profiles of players? If not, then maybe this would be a good revision for future lineups, as I think it would bring additional depth to the teams to have differing profiles. For example, rather than two pacy man-beating wingers who cut in onto their dominant foot on either side, you could have that profile on one side, and a traditional winger who crosses on the other flank. I am aware that you used DeepSeek for the choice of formation; does the same go for the game plan and transition into 3-4-3 in possession, or is that your own input?
All in all, really interesting article. I look forward to proving myself in the game, having only just signed for Sydney City (which is a shame as I think I deserve a spot in that week 0 lineup defo not biased), to hopefully make LemonBluu's future lineups. See you all on the pitch

First off - welcome in to SSL Lemon! Nice to see you active and working on that bank balance, as well as contributing back to your rookie class. This is honestly amazing, I saw those other Best elevens you were posting out in the SSL main server and it's sick (totally unbiased review of one of the participants). As someone who is not that into soccer, could you explain the plan you had when going about making this? I understand that you fed it into lemonbluu, but at this point is it just simple guessing? How about for the earlier classes? What was your process on collecting Academy Stats, how did you weight them, and how did you compile it? The main reason I'm asking is, as I stated before, I'm not that knowledgeable on soccer, and the only stats I'm aware of are goals, assists, and goals allowed. For example, when you posted my draft class, S19, and their best eleven, I was on there as a defender and Trella was off as one of the highest goal scorers (maybe even the highest amount of goals iirc). How was I assesed as one of the best defenders of the class, according to what statistics, as well as why was trella snubbed are questions i'll make sure to reach out to you about, but those were just some quick questions that I was curious about. All in all - this is sick, and I'm glad to see you here.

Hey, the way LemonBluu is set up, it's meant to not be perfect in its assessement and scouting. Right now I pull in Index and Tracker data to kind of give people "scores" based on pretty arbitrary assessments and then pick randomly from the top half of scoring players
