 > 5th cycle: I really cannot tell what was the most important thing in 
this highly competitive cycle. I guess that Daniele's moving from 3.0 to 
4.6 points per round puts him solidly on the radar.

I.e. Rodri and Emerson retained their role, Locatelli and Kimpembe's 
break-out compensated Lemar's decline.

 From the point of view of the algorithmic predictions, Michael scoring 
a lot of points and me scoring a lot fewer points than the top 4 would 
be as unexpected as Daniele's exploits, but both things had already 
happened in the previous season. So, while in last year's comments I 
already had me down, Michael and Daniele up (better predictor than the 
artificial intelligence, yay!), Daniele's performance is arguably more 
of a news.

 > 6th cycle: I would say that Ville being the scout that improved his 
annual score the most and being second only to Jackson as for the 
absolute annual score is the most significant event

I want to change my answer and say that Jackson becoming the unanimous 
favourite was the most important thing in this cycle (compare the 
opinions as late as February:

gentinabrazil_match_is/ 
). Pedri, Grealish, Doku, Bellingham and Camavinga all breaking out was 
decisive.
