A lot of funny animating this one. Even harvested some of my own kids scribbles for the layering 😅

I don’t understand this infographic. It suggests Szoboszlai last season as an attacking midfielder never received the ball or passed to anyone?! 🥴

It’s not been made public.

News to me: Florian Wirtz is the youngest of 10 (TEN!) siblings!?

His father is now in his 70s!

Semenyo feels like this season’s Mbeumo 🧐 #FPL

As in he’s a £7.5m ish midfielder who’s racking up the points and I haven’t picked him 😔

Averaging 9 points per game 😱

“More than double £70k” is a weird way of saying £150k 🤨

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 5d

It’s noticeable that he’s highlighting from last year a fit MacAllister, confident Konate, feisty Diaz and prime Diogo (RIP).

Had me questioning if Flo, Isak and Ekitike are fit or settled enough for this sort of coordinated press yet.

Moving Dom to right back loses his energy in the press too.

It’s taken me until October to realise Igor is actually three different people. Igor Thiago, Igor Julio and Igor Jesus. Brentford, West Ham, Forest. 🧐

Could they combine into a Super Igor and if you have one in FPL you get the points for all three? 😅

A sign of true intelligence, he argues, is the ability to reason towards a goal with minimal inputs – what he calls a “small data, big task” approach, compared with the “big data, small task” approach employed by large language models like ChatGPT.

I agree. He’s out of form because of a stop start period with injuries. It seems he’s also been dealing with something else that’s not been made public.

www.theplayerstribune.com/alexis-mac-a...

I don’t know whether he need more rest or more games but he’s clearly not at his best.

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 11d

Hmm, not sure I understand what you mean, that’s 12 players! I know Wirtz drifted inside and didn’t spend much time wide left. But Salah was very wide. I have no idea where he wanted Szoboszlai to play in the first half. MacAllister has been out of form for months now which is frustrating.

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 11d

What was the formation? Wirtz went left, but was it also a change to the 4-3-3?

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 11d

We can’t get in their box let alone their goal. #lfc #CRYLIV

Liverpool passes 326 of 367 successful. Only 4 into the box.

Ah yes I love Adam Curtis docs! Proper head scratchers! 😁

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 14d

What’s the doc called?

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 14d

14/15 are starters + £4.4m Miley. 3 Burnley lads: Dubravka, Esteve, Foster. I had to wildcard now to be able to afford it ahead of price rises 😅

that point could end up being the difference between arsenal finishing second with 81 points and second with 82 points

Can’t believe Arsenal didn’t get the ball straight back out the net and try for a winner. 🤣 City were there for the taking for the last 30mins!

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 21d

Surely not! Has there even been a team that won 5 games in a row with a late winner?

Reuben Armstrong @reubenarmstrong.bsky.social · 21d

At this point we might as well rebrand to Lategoal FC. 😅

The other team that comes to mind with repeating last minute winners is Xabi’s Leverkusen. 🤔

Theory — the defenders playing against Florian Wirtz are so mentally and physically knackered by the end they can’t help but concede 🤷🏻‍♂️
