If I had it to lend, it would be used as it sounds a fantastic opportunity.

Apparently they get it straight from the BL site itself, rather than assigning them themselves.
Ha yeah, deffo worth a look over Grimmy and then seeing what you can do with the money. Idea is to have a few players mostly fixed, with some rotation in as needed

Who Got The Assist? (Tom) @whogottheassist.bsky.social · 4h

Yeah cool looks good. Kofane works.
Feel like it's unfortunately got to be Kane/Diaz/Olise which adds in the limitation immediately - and rules out Grimmy. Hence Raum (who has been smashing it) gets the backing. Sure a humiliating climbdown is due!!

ps how's your bl limitless looking? been sat here for a while and quite happy with it, going to go with Schmidt this week and then probably go to a 4-3-3 after that with Quansah in there
can't quite afford him this week and he's had a knock
decided to go with Diaz/Olise/Kane so lots of magic beans!

think chilling with it is a good idea. post IB is always a dodgy week for BB as I said on the pod last week, and I stand by it - never know who's come back with a knock in the "I haven't seen him yet..." lottery.

I'd do Boomo too. Especially (linked to the above) with the Gravenberch "knock"...

thanks so much for listening ☺️

Who Got The Assist? (Tom) @whogottheassist.bsky.social · 19h

yeah the whole mix is fairly decent tbh for 26 as it stands. just probably a little optimisation needed here and there
but I do wish I had a chip left!!

what a mastermind

Who Got The Assist? (Tom) @whogottheassist.bsky.social · 19h

ugh sorry Andy, super tricky. Could consider some kind of moonshot to take SSM down and then move to (K)astro?
I'm tempted to do similar here.
Albeit I'm sick of Patoulidis so if Magnusson isn't bad I might dispatch him instead!

You can put an emotional value on it, and that's all that counts for me

Who Got The Assist? (Tom) @whogottheassist.bsky.social · 1d

Got rid of mine in GW1 for a grand total of 6 points
But the relief for getting rid of it and now having 4.5d/4.0d/4.5m on my bench?
Priceless.

Shame about the rest of the season...

that's why we did it

Who Got The Assist? (Tom) @whogottheassist.bsky.social · 1d

ohhh Collins John. now that's a name....
had to immediately go and check if he's related to stern John. sadly not

Who Got The Assist? (Tom) @whogottheassist.bsky.social · 1d

Hah indeed. I think the early days - as far as I can say this without gatekeeperism seeping in - were just so good on FPL twitter and the soul of that is replicated best here rather than the other place, which is a racist insta now.

Yeah ikr; I still need to advertise WGTA there but DC otherwise!

It's a shame none of the "bigger" voices retained their presence: the dopamine and reach is a potent mix (fact, not judgement).

But I like it here, I've kept on with it and I've found 99.9% of interactions to be a pleasure. Plus there's no algo pushing me fascist porn.

Viva la bluesky.
