Strategy summary

What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.

TL;DR

Transfer content dominates with peaks like 1009 likes on post 16, proving fans crave signing news. Incoming announcements average 600+ likes across posts 1-15, far outpacing matches at 400 likes. Low 2.3 posts/week starves growth despite 7636 followers ripe for Eredivisie hype. Cadence leak caps potential; consistent daily drops during windows match soccer rhythm. Pillar mix works but double rumors to feed the transfer beast. Lean into Saturday afternoons for double engagement. Youth nods build loyalty yet underperform; prioritize proven wins.
