Recap/reveal! Recap: 🤐 Reveal: insignificant move to get Langley, but I like the Seagulls and it’s a good run of fixtures and my alternative was hurt. Hindsight might dictate Soucek over Mbuemo? 🤞🤞 that Mbuemo tallies at Stamford Bridge. LW: 7.7 M 🤢🤮🤢 OR: 1.2, back into 7 figures, -0.3M

Into the top 1M! Haaland-lessness is bliss, as long as he stays cold. Pickford sent packing with a tough run of fixtures. Excited to have a premium option in back for at least a few weeks. So much flexibility because Rogers is such a good option. Still need to solidify defence. LW: 646k; OR 972k.

Recap + Reveal! Sak-it to them, Bukayo! Nailed the captain pick, then not much else. But nothing else, including minutes from Guardiol. Who saw MU scoring four times on Pickford? Yeeeesh. Joao is back and cheap. Green arrows for all! 👁️ ❤️ mid-week 🏈! (Oh, wait, ⚽️.) LW: 2.8M; OR: 1.4, +100k

Nice to free up £without Haaland, but only if the moves are right. Missed out on a huge week for Mehdison, *and* benched Soucek. Argh. Salah was the right pick last week, but nothing else worked. Happy to have Saka back Destroying. Maybe a risk to take the band from Mo. LW: 5.1; OR: 1.6; -400k 😿🔻

Reveal! Isak for Haaland 😬 Mo back where he belongs! (Maddison? More like Mehddison!) Mbuemo was fine, but I wish MBruno had worn the band. I quite like the GuAnVirPick defence (need a better nickname), and happy to get my Villain duo back together. LW: 2.0. OR: 1.2, +.25 No breaks til ‘25!

Bruno in for Cole - upcoming fixtures + Cole’s cnee. Also sets me for Sako’s return. Wood marked with the band last week. Mbanking on Mbuemo this time. Not excited about Villa-LIV. Tommy over Morgan — it’s Rogers’ first trip to the bench. How about ⚽️⚽️ for Tommy and for VVD. LW: .9M. OR: 1.5M

Reveal! Virgil in for VandeVen. Two premium on defence? Maybe too big an expence. Why Wood you not give the armband to the hottest striker in the league? No(r) way I should take it from Erling, but I did. Mbuemo and Cole were great additions, tho I miss Saka. A Destroyer, soon. LW: 1.5M. OR: 2.1

Big move! using Salah-Maddison cash, I’m excited to swap in Mbuemo for Rice. Due to Saka injury, I’m taking the 4 point hit for Palmer. Grumble ‘Wood’ prefer that Chris scores again this week; not a rental, a long-term value! OR back to 2.4. Four spots up on @briannemo.bsky.social in league.

Out: João Pedro, Muric, Salah In: Wood, Pickford, Maddison Took the 4-point hit to add Wood, maybe a rental. Brough back Pickford for a great run of fixtures, also he’s my fave. Rice over Soucek due to matchups. Rice out next? OR: 2.8M. Lost ground last week, Saka saved us. It’s back! Have fun!

Transferred in Van de Ven to replace Robinson, avoiding Man City. Not so keen on Rice, but he was a bit better last week. Need to free up some budget for a legit keeper. Perhaps that means a Saka swap down the line. Van de Veni, Vidi, Vici? OR 2.4 entering the week.

GW6 went as well as possible. Top 500k weekly score, even without Palmer. Muric wasn’t a disaster, and both Villans found the net. Watkins was the right pick for the armband. Soucek and Gvardiol restored my faith, and both Cottagers were dominant and clean. Up ~2.5M spots. This is why we play!

GW6 lineup: What do I know? I’m just an ignorant seppo. Anyway, realizing this is a popular WC week, I’m going the other way and holding. Hopefully Rogers and Watkins produce lots of saves for Muric. Picked up Andersen before the transfers. Hopefully the Cottagers can come up clean. Good luck!

The late decision to grab Watkins worked out. Very nice to see goal involvements from Rogers. But Guardiol hasn’t done a thing yet, and the ‘too cute’ Muric transfer in worked about as poorly as expected. OR down almost to 4.9M. Nowhere to go but up?

Lineup reveal! Down near 3.6M OR after last week’s disaster. Getting cute with Muric and a nice run of fixtures, especially if I WC next week. Guessing that Isak won’t play and took the -4 to bring in Watkins. May all your sheets be clean.

Overthought it. Made a late decision to captain Salah over Haaland due to Haaland’s ‘personal issues’. Dropped about 1.8 million slots. Do better next time.

GW4. Gordon out, Saka in! Took five minutes in GW1 to recognise I missed Bukayo, so it’s been one transfer a week to finally get him back. Will my…err…value players generate returns? Will Souček even play? We shall see. Good luck to all.

I’d be more upset about Rice’s booking if it weren’t so hilarious. Perhaps home against the Toffees will be the time for Rogers to post a large tally. Paying for stars has paid off so far.
