I presume everyone playing World Cup fantasy captained Messi and you are all joint first. Well played. 👏👏👏

First try. Seems easy enough.

Feel a bit silly here... But am I the only one who didn't know there are two Edersons?

Always seems to come out as lucky on these things. I guess someone else won the real quiz.

All out for 57 in #ESfantasy Tiny grem arrow but the rank is nowhere near where I want it to be and the double CS wipeout stings.

Somehow knew that last minute double CS wipeout was coming. #ESfantasy

RUNDE 11 TEAMSHEET Transfer (1/1 FTs used): Jenssen > Posiadala Captain: Høgh Rank: 2,149

Hamkam and B/G getting an unexpected DGW14 is an absolute result for me. #ESfantasy

I realise it's always easier to look back on those moves that worked out well. But I do think this one was a classic example of the kind of thing that was repeated a lot through the season. Avoiding reactive sideways moves is definitely an approach I want to continue with next year.

Pricing next season will be interesting. I hope all likely defcon defenders are 5.5 and defcon mids are 6.5 (Anderson even higher). But a few attacking full backs get a cheeky price drop? Haaland and Bruno both high priced premiums. Force some hard decisions on us please 🙏

Potur brace now 😂 Should have been on bench boost

Goals for all three of my subs now. None for my actual team though 😂

Second week on a row that Steve Mvoue scores a goal on my bench. Absolutely no chance he does it again next week when I actually need to play him. #ESfantasy

Feel like Sunderland getting the Europa League spot is very good news for the three promoted teams.

Back to back top 10k ranks, making three in the last five years. But apparently the game has been solved and there's no point playing any more.

Looks like points are confirmed. Final rank of 2,829.

63 points and a green arrow. Waiting on updates to see whether I have secured the top 3k finish, but either way it's a personal best season for me 🎉🎉

Feels like I have made my gains already this week by not taking a hit. And now will just see them eeked back by those fielding more players than me.

Looks like I have 8 starters. Let's see what else I get off my bench.

RUNDE 10 TEAMSHEET Transfer (1/1 FTs used) Warneryd > Sørløkk Captain: Tripic Rank: 2,188 #ESfantasy

GAMEWEEK 38 TEAMSHEET (Provisional) Transfer (1/1 FTs used): Haaland > Bowen Captain: Fernandes Rank: 3,765

Canvot to Mavro the play here? Or Okafor to Anderson? Or something else?

The runde 11 fixture announcements are inconvenient. Definitely disruptive for me. Prevents me getting my first pick Warneryd replacement. Might even struggle to get 11 out. But not quite disruptive enough to be worth RU (which I would have likely done if the Glimt game was called off too).

Oooh. João Pedro is back. Hmm... Need to actually think about my transfer this week then 😂

107 in #ESfantasy and a small red arrow to 2,137. Not a terrible outcome given how many Rich Uncles were in play and I didn't use a chip myself.

Honestly don't see a solution to the playoffs situation that feels fair to everyone. What they have gone with is probably the best of a bad bunch of options.

All out for 57. Red arrow of almost 1,000 places.

0.1 short of Pedro to Bowen. Hmm...

Wish I'd have missed the deadline. Watkins to Gyokeres looking a terrible move now.

Bus team. Might roll.

Who knew selling Watkins with Liverpool and City as his final two games would prove to be a bad idea 😬

RUNDE 9 TEAMSHEET Transfers (2/2 FTs used): Hjertø-Dahl > Potur, TLO > Christiansen Captain: Høgh Rank: 1,847 #ESfantasy

GAMEWEEK 37 TEAMSHEET Transfer: Watkins > Gyökeres Captain: Gabriel Rank: 2,725

Not exactly the most inspiring bus team, but it'll have to do.

All out for 78 and a red arrow this week.

Not impossible that buying a Palace defender was a bad idea...

Was celebrating Haaland points until I saw he is 225% EO at my rank.

The upside to missing the #ESfantasy deadline is that I gain some fixtures back next week at least.

Not the best week to miss the deadline in #ESfantasy ...

GAMEWEEK 36 TEAMSHEET Transfers (2/2 FTs used): Van Hecke > Canvot, Palmer > Saka Captain: Haaland Rank: 2,201

Not saying Semenyo to Cherki is a bad move, but it's exactly the kind of move I have built my strategy this season around avoiding.

Set on buying a Palace player. It will be either Canvot or Richards. 🤔

All out for 51 this week. Red arrow down to 2,201.

Not getting Hill from my bench then.

Bournemouth, Brentford or Brighton for the UCL then? Will be a lot of fun whichever of them gets in (obviously dependant on Villa winning UEL).

Or maybe not...

Gosh. Forest could live to regret this team selection come the end of the season.

Of course Villa were going to lose. Keeping Forest focussed on the league is a big advantage for their UEL second leg.

Lovely to have Hill coming off the bench for Semenyo.

Wonder if Richards has moved into pole position for which Palace asset to buy this week. 🤔
