Scouting: Galileo and Archimedes

I resently learned about OPR and found it quite fasinating. Ive been following the matches in Galileo and Archimedes all day and have been constantly updating my data to achieve the best results. I've been playing around with the numbers, and based on my criteria (a combination of OPR and a ratio of Average Alliance Scores) I've come up with the following.

Galileo:

Top 8 Teams:
1114
195
103
25
121
254
40

Most interesting about these stats is that 121 and 40 are both currently seeded 45 and 57 respectively.

With that, the biggest sleeper pick goes to 1758

Their OPR is nearly doubling their expected alliance contribution, so it just goes to show OPR can really say a lot about a team that would otherwise go unnoticed (seeded 73). They are by no means a first round selection, but a late second round alliance should be very pleased with this team.

Honorable mentions go 121 and 40 both very offensive teams (OPR 40+), however they should go much earlier, therefore.. not sleeper pick

I have not yet completed the stats for Archimedes but I will post as soon as Im done.

These picks have been made solely from data and stats, I have only seen a few matches since the webstream was constantly failing on me. Luckily I discovered SOAP gameday and that has worked flawlessly.

What are your sleeper picks? Who do you think are the top teams? Agree/disagree? Im interested in your feedback!
