The 2018-2019 Premier League season promises to be one of the most intriguing in a long time. Although Manchester City had their way of things last year, over the summer the transfer market was active (Spurs needn’t apply), with Liverpool especially opening the purse strings to bring in the players to make a play at getting back into the hardware chase. And even here in the second week, the 2018 World Cup looms as a factor. Players on national teams that made deep runs have had just a few weeks to work out with their English clubs heading into the season, and both Man United and Tottenham in particular seemed a bit heavy-legged at the end of their week one matches.
Unanimous AI ran a test swarm for the week one games, and managed a 9-1 record across the 10 matches. It’s hard to imagine the swarm maintaining anything close to that pace as the season unfurls, but from a research standpoint it suggests that current methodologies and swarm participant composition is sound. In other words, full speed ahead to week two of the 2018-19 Premiership season.
Although Manchester City had their fair share of players involved in the World Cup this summer, the League Champions have such a deep, well-deployed roster that it hardly mattered. In week one they ventured into Emirates Stadium and dealt a decent Arsenal club a 2-nil drubbing. This week the Sky Blues play their home opener, hosting a Huddersfield side that look like sacrificial lambs as much as soccer players in this contest.
It is worth noting that there are never, not ever, any sure things in sports…but as the replay above shows, the EPL Swarm on Friday was about as certain of City carrying this match as they have been about any single game prediction. The consensus and cohesion of the swarm here is instantaneous, with the puck nearly leaving a vapor trail en route to landing on a high confidence, two-goals-plus win prediction. The swarm took the Citizens as their pick of the week as well, adding to the degree of confidence they’ve placed in this result.
