Third year FPL player. 90k, 60k. Still trying to learn and not make dumb decisions. COYG
101 all out. Almost into the top 2k.
The Wilson and Chalobah punt worked well: +20 on those two moves. Also brought in Tarko for Munoz in preparation for GW18
Surprisingly, WC13 has been super effective despite holding it to focus primarily on LIV and NEW
Debating rolling or staying aggressive

So much of FPL feels like luck of bringing in the right people at the right time. Foden over Bruno on WC13. Bring in Bruno this week after a 2 week punt on Rogers. Bruno G goal from a corner. Feels like being aggressive at Christmas time has been a good practice for me. Trying Harry Wilson this week

The most grey arrow on Free Hit. Frustrated slightly - went for punts with BRI and AVL, just picked the wrong two. Would have been a great green arrow.
Mostly did the FH to avoid having to make my ARS decisions yet - seems like Timber and Saka are inevitable for me. Gyokeres seems like a no go

I am sitting here grateful that I have taken 3 price drops on Bowen so that far less people are racking up his points with me

Saved 0.5 to navigate some aggressive changes I want to make in the weeks ahead. Leaning a little more on the 4-4-2 to start and aiming to have the "best"/strongest fixture captain for the opening weeks.

Rogers to Bowen with the 1FT
0.1 ITB
Regretting the Dango move last week with Evanilson on the bench but it does allow Bowen in. Can't go against Mo this week.
Very annoying that all 5 DEF and playing GK play against one of my starting attackers --> limited upside this week. Hoping for a nice gray

68k to 41k while going Glasner. Two straight -4s to half the rank - feeling bold but lucky.
Considering Rogers to Bowen this week with some worry about Dango's minutes upcoming - will still play him in GW29

Been a fun 17 weeks - still really regretting how badly I started off the season. Have found a really nice rhythm over the last 10 weeks with a good bit of luck (Gakpo to Cunha this week for a -4 and getting him off the bench for Amad hit nicely).
0FT
Amad > Dango
Do I change Slot for a -4?

What a difference 10 GWs makes. Main regret was chasing points with Amad for Semenyo this past week when I had a feeling Rogers' legs would destroy Man City (kind of like Ars in GW2).
Locked in earlier:
Saka > Bruno
Davis > TAA (-4)
Is there a website where you can check GW rank from prev years?

Planning Semenyo to Amad tonight.
Then I am working on what to do next week. The safe bet is Cunha to Wood assuming the ban comes.
Other option I am thinking about is Rogers to Jota and Cunha down to Armstrong or just all the way to 4.4 Stewart.
Long-term which is better: Jota or Wood/Rogers?

1 FT
0.3 ITB
Main concerns for upcoming gameweeks:
1) Cunha will have to go - thinking Wood
2) Rogers and Semenyo - not loving it - thinking Amad/Enzo/Iwobi
3) Would love to upgrade Davis and Mosquera to Munoz/Milenovic/Mykolenko (Myko would be towards the end of EVE bad fixture run)
Thoughts?

After my worst GW of the season in GW 15 (Watkins VC over Palmer), got the best GW of my season.
1 FT used: Ait-Nouri > Robinson
1 FT left. 0.3 ITB.

Rethinking what my options are for this week
1FT
0.5💰
A:
GW14: Isak > Watkins
B:
GW14: Isak > Pedro/Evanilson/Wissa
GW15: Ait Nouri/Davis/Hall > TAA
Trying to decide which has more upside? Watkins next fixtures look good but obviously UCL may limit minutes and even result in a benching

Been a fun ride over the last 5 weeks - finally finding some momentum. Hoping the Green Arrows can continue!

I am still somewhat surprised the Mbeumo > Saka move for this week has worked out this well. Glad I had the money ITB for this one. #COYG
Now what to do with Isak in the next 2 days…

Inevitably anytime my 3-year-old son and I watch football, at some point he will say, “Dad, Dad, do you remember Spain/Chelsea?” What he means is “Do I remember Marc Cucurella?” He was 2 during the Euros and Cucurella’s hair really stuck out. He thinks that his name is “Spain Chelsea” ha

How many people went Larsen to Pedro this week? It feels like FPL is a wild tension of being patient and proactive

🔒GW13 team. With the quick GW14 turnaround, any thoughts on what to do? I will have 1 FT and .5 ITB. 1) roll, 2) upgrade Mosquera to have another playing DEF for Xmas period, 3) work to transition to Joao Pedro and Bowen for a hit or in GW15 - likely replace Isak and Rogers. Want to keep Semenyo

Amazing the change in both the defensive and attacking parts of the game with the captain back on the field. His leading of the press is phenomenal
“That’s chemistry, sometimes you meet somebody and straight away you make eye contact, something close and with those two it happened. Off the field, it happens on the field, and with many others as well. Something that in football, it is difficult to say but when you put them together (Cont)

What are opinions out there on who to trust for advice: FPL “experts” or fans of teams? Especially about things like xMin. I listened to people a week ago questioning if Jurrien Timber is a worry over starts. There is injury history but, as a fan, he seems very secure if healthy, whether RB or LB.

Made some rookie/second year mistakes to start off this year - went without Haaland/Salah/Palmer trying to play the PPM game. Didn’t realize the value of captains. Did a poor -8 in GW6 after being bold again on GW4 wildcard but have been righting the ship since then

First time doing social media in a decade. Just following FPL. Second year playing. Apparently I made a team when I lived overseas in 2018 and when I had a 5 month old in 2020 - absolutely no memory of either of those ha! Looking forward to chatting about FPL
