25/26 SDT GW11: Donnarumma, Enzo & Pino out for Leno, Lacroix & Saka (c). Some price considerations, but had to make an awkward sale to get Saka regardless. Could have got Merino over Lacroix, but Lacroix a long term hold possibly and pressure will come on transfers. 5 transfers next week.

25/26 FPL GW11: Gyök to Mateta, rolling the other two. Probably would have done Tarko to Timber or Cala last night if I had expected him to drop, but oh well. Didn’t feel worth it this week from an EV perspective.

25/26 SDT GW10: Rolling to the maximum of 6! Team good and any moves feel forced. Good opportunities next week with a single gameweek bringing all teams into play.

25/26 FPL GW10: Stach to Sarr for exact midweek. Rolling the other two. Very tempted to do Gyok to Mateta & Andersen/Senesi/Van Hecke/Tarko to Cala/Timber, but I resisted.

25/26 SDT GW9: Kudus to Mateta, rolling the other two. Think Max Captain is better in a week when you fancy all of your big hitters to start twice. It would be better this week if Enzo and Gab didn’t have fitness issues.

25/26 FPL GW8: Rolling to four. I hope for clarity this week on several players.

25/26 SDT GW8: Petrovic & Lacroix to Donnarumma & Sarr. Maxing out the doublers, getting some rises and avoiding a 0.3 drop. Bad to sell a Palace defender a week before Carabao, but he may be back.

25/26 FPL BB6: Bench boosted whilst rolling to 3 FTs. Gab and Richie FUD were reasons to swerve, but even factoring these in, I think the BB is optimal this week, unless I waited til AFCON. Doesn’t feel great, but probably the right call in foresight. Evan was better on WC than Richie, I think now.

25/26 SDT GW7: Bruno & Abgadou to Gabriel & Pino. Rolling the other one. If Gabriel doesn’t play, I can consider a sub with money ITB and midfield/forward slots.

25/25 FPL WC6: Decided to WC just before price changes last night. Murillo and Watkins aged poorly throughout the week and I had to accept the sunk cost of missing rises and falls. Happy with what I have. Was very close between Van Hecke & Gyök vs Saliba & JP. BB7 we hope.

25/26 FPL GW5: Rolling to 2 FTs, before likely WC6. Can’t really BB with Murillo big doubt and needing to use the FT on Tielemans.

25/26 SDT GW4: Tarkowski, JOB & Tavernier to Guehi, Lacroix & Gusto, rolling the other FT. Salah cap. Will consider a Palmer sub if no mins in the PL.

Right now I could make zero, one or two FTs… and have even been considering the BB with the double
move option.
move option.

25/26 SDT GW1 & GW2: @samwiseff.bsky.social producing a great solver has got me involved in some other games this season. Mitoma to Semenyo before GW2 to protect value. Was tempted by Collins to Gudmundsson, but flexibility may prove useful.

25/26 GW1: Zero changes since bed last night. 0.5 ITB.

Kinda nice. Maybe Reijndeers should be Anderson?

At this stage I feel pretty certain Salah, Palmer and Bruno will be in my GW1 draft. It is very likely Sanchez, VVD, AndersEn, Teletubby join them. Dubravka and Guiu are hard to turn down on value, despite not owning any of the promoted sides last season.
