WC6 I seem to be settling here Kelleher Kinsky rotation over Raya & 4m is a bit last minute but that's my current leaning Think I'll risk Palmer De Cuyper for a few weeks then I'll switch to a 5m. Prob Muharemovic Saka 🧢

GW5: 32pts 🌍2.2m🔻-19 Rekt again Got some thinking to do

GW5 OR: 1m Think this is me Rolling Figured a FT for JP wasn't worth it WC6 is the plan Thomas & Neto over Vuskovic Might change my mind Bruno Cap

GW4: 68pts 🌍1m🔻-17 Got smashed! Haaland obviously hurt, but I think it was more Gross, De Cuyper, Rogers & Raya outscoring my picks Could be that kind of swingy season Selling MGW looking stupid I had reasons Might've been stupid reasons tho

First transfers of the season; Semenyo▶️Palmer MGW▶️Neto Took me ages to decide! Caught in indecision Semenyo to Palmer feels good Cash cow was the hardest part A cheeky punt on Neto felt fun. I'll bench him GW5 before WC6 Means Mbeumo or Thiago benched GW4 tho 😬

GW4 Current plan 3FTs £0m ITB Saving WC, prob for GW6 Want Palmer Need to sell 2 of Semenyo, Tzolis & Thiago 1 for Palmer 1 for a cash cow Prob down to a Gomez/Janelt or a Wissa/dead spot But not sure who to keep yet, so gonna have to eat the price drops until after UCL

GW3: 51pts 🌍391k🔻-4 That wasn't so bad Without the TCs & FHs, I'd have prob been on a small green Vuskovic hero 😍

Changed my mind. Gonna hold off WC for now. Thx for the comments Its hard to find the balance between too passive & too aggressive Feel like WC4 might've been the moment to strike Bt then again, there's still info to be gained. 3GWs of data is not much xitter.cf/FPLBenchwarmers/status…
I might WC this team tonight I want Palmer I want Isak I wanna ditch a GK & FWD to dead spots to get funds in the 1st XI Semenyo's dropping I'm also Saka/Raya curious But is that enough? What do I gain by waiting 2 more GWs?

GW3 Think this is me 🔒 No Chips No Haaland Starting Tzolis Small possibility of WC4 Expecting a demolition 🍀

GW2: 126pts Well that was a lot of fun! Crazy GW. Not sure I've had a better SGW ever! A sign of things to come? 3.1 goals per game so far. ~10% above the average I guess I can't complain about bad luck for a while now

GW2 Think I'm🔒 Ive decided not to WC3 Ran some solves & found that if I made no other adjustment than to bump Palmer from 0.5 to 0.7xGI it didnt pick Haaland. Even if I gave myself an extra £1m from price farming My maths may not be perfect bt the fact its close is enough for me

I like the No Haaland, "Big-in-the-Middle" strategy. Plan is; BB2 (Not sure what my "true" bench is🤷‍♂️) Then bring Palmer in GW4 for MGW. If no cash cow emerges, I'll prob downgrade Gabriel/Mbeumo before WC6 I may change my mind on all this between about 8-10pm tonight though! 🫣

Big surge in price rises & falls in GW3 last season. Same pattern in previous seasons too

Anyone have any thoughts on wildcard GW3? Are you doing it? Or saving it for later? Haaland or no Haaland? What's your thinking? #FPL

GW1: 49pts Underwhelming start. Long way to go. WC3 looking tempting though. We'll see Only 1GW so I'll prob stick to the plan for now BB2. Pinnock to COV could be a pickle bt I'd expect Thomas to start GW2 at least MGW injury, one to watch. Might use an FT

GW1🔒 Suddenly feeling massive FUD! Just checked Haaland's record in the first 5 GWs again. That was a silly idea. Ah well LFG!!!! 🥳🎉

Currently settled here. I'll see how it feels tomorrow BB2 WC6 is the plan (WC3 in emergencies!) Last decision was; MGW + £0 ITB vs Szobo + £1m ITB Solio & Review reckon it's a no brainer, but I'm not so sure. I really want MGW. But I'd also quite like to leave some money ITB

#FWC MD8 Not bad final MD. Pushed me to about top 2.5%. Was hoping for more, but that's not so bad Was a fun game. I particularly enjoyed the expanded format & researching all the schedules, weather, travel & stadiums I still want my stolen Vargas SB points from MD2 though!
