Matt Fitzpatrick’s ‘Moneyball spreadsheet’ help soccer coach beat a game, shares Ryder Cup star’s ‘in depth’ research online

Recently, soccer coach Jack explained how he won the Champions League with Rosenborg in 2029 using Matt Fitzpatrick's Moneyball spreadsheet. He shared a detailed thread about his journey.

On Wednesday, February 13, Jack revealed his goal of winning the Champions League with Rosenborg within 10 years using the Moneyball principle. The club's budget was just £28.34 million, a fraction of the £296 million salaries of other top clubs. To achieve this, he relied on a custom spreadsheet created by Matt Fitzpatrick.

In his thread, Jack discussed building the foundation in the early years and facing early eliminations. It became evident that the team lacked a strong striker and needed to find a better option within a limited budget. He then detailed a few key signings and how they turned into incredible successes. Here's the post:
