Is there anything more obvious than Thiago outscoring Ekitike next GW?

Due to family commitments I don't get to watch much live football on weekends, however some action I've managed to catch today:
• Alderete header chance missed
• Senesi headed chance missed from Semenyo assist
• Saka missed chance from Timber assist
That's like 30 missed FPL pts for my team. Fun 👍

At OR 5.2m there are many reasons why this season has been a disaster, but broadly speaking my timing has just been "off". I've sold players too soon, been too slow to bring in others, and benched some hauls.
This GW I made a couple of "win-now" transfers, purely so I could bench Nick Woltemade.

GW16. Before this season I actually thought I was good at this game 😂
Swerving recent popular picks like Foden and Bruno has been insanely punishing these last weeks

About to lose 0.4m on 4 of my players who haven't even played this GW yet.
Price changes are brutal.

KDH when he's on my bench: 16 points.
KDH when he's in my team: 16 minutes, off injured.
Incredible.

Hmm, think this one needs to go back to development

It's one thing having none of my players score any points week in week out, but having Marc Guehi find new ways to destroy my rank every single week is another form of punishment entirely

I've stopped listening to FPL podcasts entirely, but my rank has still not improved.
Running out of people to blame.

Had exact money on weds for Gakpo > Foden but didn't want to go early.
Too stubborn to take a -4.
Guess I'll be going against the crowd again!

Never expected Myers, Lankinen and Forbert to suddenly become my favourite Canucks, yet here we are.
Props to Tom Willander and Connor Garland too 👏

118pts after 14 GWs now 😭
This is my 15th year playing FPL and my lowest-ever finish is 300k.
I'm 110pts off that after 10 GWs.
That's gotta be my target for the season, but I'm not hopeful!

GW14. Tiny green arrow. Going to be even harder than I thought to climb out of this mess I have created for myself.

This GW's transfer worked out great, but his efforts were pretty much all for nothing due to this idiot (i.e. Me) not owning bloody Marc Guehi or Daniel Munoz

Bought Gakpo GW9. Guess which week I chose to free hit him out (for Salah) 🤦🏻♂️

GW13. Green arrow BUT exact same score as my non-FH team and also missed out on several popular big scores, so another pretty disappointing week.
Ironically, team could use a FH this week. Senesi, Sarr and Pope all issues, as well as possible midweek rotation to worry about.

43pts all out on FH.
No Foden, Django or Gakpo.
OG team would have 36pts with Saka and Timber to go.
Shocker.

RLB and Daniel Farke both able to get a response (of sorts) after HT being 0-2 down - let's see what Thomas Frank has got

Went for Doku & Schade over Foden & Django.
Can't catch a break at all this season!

Only just noticed the City and Brentford games are both 3pm KO's tomorrow. The Free Hit could be maked or breaked by 5pm Saturday

GW12. KDH saving my GW from the bench. Otherwise another pretty horrific GW.
First green arrow in 4 GW's, though. A 0pt green arrow, but green nonetheless.
Top 10k here we come!!
