Great to see Newcastle and Man Utd have managed 4 goals between them today and yet my trio of Gordon, Woltemade and Bruno haven’t been involved in any of them. 🤣

#FPL GW8 Review: Points: 82 OR: 1.3m ⬆️ ⭐️ Haaland (c): It’s always him at the moment, but should out to the defence! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Gyokeres: Fixtures couldn’t be better, outcomes couldn’t be worse. Summary: Finally have some balance in the squad and feeling ok about options, on to the next!

If you want an example of why Harry Kane is one of the great strikers, and I mean across the ages, watch his first goal tonight. That’s with his weak foot, under pressure, whilst falling, from outside the box. Just consistent technical brilliance, workrate, movement, passing, and so much more.

#FPL GW7 Review: Points: 68 OR: 2.4m🔻 Captain Haaland and superstar Semenyo save me again. Annoyed at even owning Xavi at this point, let alone picking him ahead of Grealish for a -9 point swing. Feel like I’m going round in circles chasing reliable options, hopefully 2/3 transfers to solve it.

Just caught up on the Arsenal highlights from yesterday. If I was buying in an asset for goal involvements I’d rather have either full back than Gyokeres, so now he’s not on penalties that price tag looks pretty unappealing!

How many times have we seen Haaland completely bully centre backs who will have never had that happen to him? One of my major criticisms of Guardiola the last few years was acting like he was above going direct, or using Haaland’s pace or strength, but now he’s been unleashed again. Terrifying.

Where do the Premier League find these referees?

Should have known as a new Woltemade and Gordon owner that Newcastles goal would be scored by Bruno G and assisted by Dan Burn! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Any Palace fa and know KEITH BENSLEY? I’ve found your passport - will bring to the game. Please share #CPFC

Full-time: Palace 2-1 Liverpool The most dramatic of finishes. Almost the last touch of the game from Eddie Nketiah to take the ball down on his chest and volley it through Alisson's legs. That is the never give up attitude Glasner has instilled in this team. A just reward. #CPFC

GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLL EDDIE NKETIAAAAHHHH #CPFC

#FPL GW6 selection: After last weeks horror show, taking a -4 to get Xavi (dropped) and Palmer to captain him, I’m now on a -8 this week to deal with my Ekitike and Palmer issues. 🤣 Rolling with the punches, Haaland triple captain! Good luck all.

Guess who sold Bruno to buy Palmer and captain him? 🙋‍♂️

Good luck to whoever is commentating on the Wolves game today:

#FPL GW5 Lineup Slightly annoying -4 having just Wildcarded, Isak getting more minutes than expected means I don’t want to risk Gakpo & Ekitike. Bruno, Gakpo & Porro > Palmer (c), Xavi & VDV. Good luck all!

#FPL GW4 Review: Points: 80 OR: 1.46m ⬆️ ⭐️ Haaland (c): Took the risk on swapping Salah to Haaland and it has paid off so far. Defence all got a clean sheet too. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Gakpo & Ekitike: Worst case scenario blanks with Salah pen + bonus! Summary: Wildcard paying dividends.

🎙️ Arne Slot. #LFC Team news... On Isak... 'Don't expect him to be every single game 90 minutes on the pitch. That's definitely not going to happen in the upcoming weeks. He missed a proper preseason - I think he missed 3-4 months of team sessions, and so now we have to build him up gradually.'

Sarr injured on Sunday night as reports say he’s out for 4-6 weeks with a hamstring issue. He scored the 3rd goal in the 78th minute and yet Palace didn’t choose to rotate him (or anyone else) as they only used 4 subs. Glasner making a point about eg Esse has only ended up hurting his selections.

See people saying that Palace had all summer to sign a replacement for Guehi. Similarly, Liverpool had all summer to put in a serious bid.

Some of the Liverpool fan takes on the Guehi deal falling through are utterly bizarre. Because others acted terribly and got moves and Guehi hasn’t, somehow it’s Palace’s fault not replacing him early and/or knowing the Igor move would collapse last minute, despite Liverpool bidding late. 🤷🏻‍♂️

PL goal 39 puts JP Mateta joint second for top flight goals with Mark Bright for #cpfc

Joe Rodon is going to torment me from my bench all season isn’t he? 🤣 Got the 2 pointer for him last week after having players missing, but missed the 14 points across GW’s 1&3, and would have been my highest scoring defender this week despite using the Free Hit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

#FPL GW3 Lineup Free Hit to cover LIV v ARS and some injuries/poor fixtures. Couple of players lost value and also missed a couple of price rises on potential transfers, but may hit the Wildcard button this week and ride some player prices over the international break. TBC. Good luck all!

#FPL GW2 Review: Points: 47 OR: 5.5m ⭐️ Joao Pedro: 1/3 of my total points this week! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Palmer & Georginio: Having to use 2 players off the bench this early (plus Konsa suspended) was a disaster. Summary: Meh again. Georginio & Wirtz ➡️ Grealish & Kudus. GW3 Free Hit still a possibility.

GW1 Review: Points: 53 OR: 4m ⭐️ Reijnders: Low price low risk, but high reward! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Joao Pedro: If he’s not performing, Delap’s a threat. Summary: Meh. not lost too much ground, but should have been braver options I liked eg Cash>Konsa & Nmecha>Guiu. Don’t love my GW2 squad so free hit an option.

Konsa, who got a red card, and Rodon on the bench equalling the score of my starting back 3 of VVD, Porro and Diouf is annoying. 🤣

Some thoughts from the MOTD highlights from todays games (and yesterdays) Sunderland - West Ham Hermansen didn't have a great day at the office here. Feels like at least two of the goals he should do better on. Not sure it means West Ham are going to be defensively bad or Sunderland will win lots

Love him 💞 🐜1️⃣🇬🇭🍒⚽️⚽️

1/4 For anyone interested this is my long list of options at each price point, some are grouped together to create critical mass of options within a price range, eg 5.5 & 5m GKs: GK 5.5- Pickford, Raya, Alisson 5 - Trafford, Sanchez, Sels 4.5 -Petrovic, Kelleher, Verbruggen, Sa £4.0 - Dubravka

@fpljoe.bsky.social do you have thoughts on player price points? Assuming Salah/no Haaland & numerous viable options in each price range, I have: GK 5.5-4.5 4.5/4 DF 6.0 5.5/5 4.5 4.5 4 MD 14.5 10.5-9.5 8.5-7.5 7-6 5.5-5 FW 9.0 8-7.5 7-6 or 4.5

UEFA Mafia Supercup tonight. Starting as I mean to go on and not watching anything with their name attached to it. #Supercup #UEFAMafia

Grealish is still a City player in fpl. If you hurry with your draft, you can have 4 Everton players from the start.

Congratulations to Nottingham Forest, who have just been awarded the Community Shield by UEFA.

Anyone know if Nmecha will be in the Leeds starting XI in GW1?

Had a nice influx of followers.....thank you all. Would love to hit 1k before the season starts.......👀👌🏽🙌🏽

Whoever made this is a genius. Outstanding! youtu.be/mf9yHW0p31k

Crystal Palace fans turned out in force to celebrate their FA Cup heroes.

Final GW38 Summary (1/2) Points: 50 Final OR: 156.5k Season awards: ⭐️: Salah, rubbish at the end of the season but brilliant for the most part. 🤦🏻‍♂️ My transfers, typified by removing Eze ahead of GW35.

To have put in that performance and ended up only getting 1bp, 1 save point and a yellow card is criminal for Raya. He’ll finish on 7, but felt more like a 10+ point performance!

GW36 model update. First team strengths, CHE nudging into fifth which could be enough for the UCL spot. The game against NEW will be interesting. NFO and AVL a bit further back with a real job to do. And BRE are surging in the last few weeks

GW35 Selection Holding 3 Palace, 3 City, and 3 transfers turned out to be a disaster with no more doubles, advantage to my mini league opponent for top spot. Savinho, Eze & Mateta, for Mbuemo, Bowen & Wood. Salah (c) Liverpool are just going to try to hand him chances for the last 4 games!

With massive thanks to @glad-all-over.bsky.social I was able to be at Wembley for a stunning Crystal Palace display. It’s hard to overstate the passion of the fans. Favourite moment: The second goal, a superb strike celebrated immediately with pure emotion, knowing there wouldn’t be a VAR review.

Anybody expecting early team news? This would be a good week for it!

FPL DGW32 Summary Points: 85 OR: 115k⬆️ ⭐️: Murphy 19: Beast! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Palace: 7 points from 3 players across 6 matches, inc Munoz -1 over games and Eze pen miss. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thoughts: Newcastle 9 goals and Isak 1G, 1A and 0BPS was harsh. Have FH BGW34 & 2 FTs so do I move Newcastle assets out or not.

GW30 Selection My FPL app crashed so no Wildcard! Was holding off to await possible fixture news but couldn’t get into my team so it’ll be next week. I’d already made the Wood to Mateta change at least, but if City go off against Leicester it could cost me dearly. Fingers crossed. Good luck all!

Começou a Data FiFa não tem jogos! sem transmissão para replay dos gols, só resta ir de edit 😢✅ Se liga nessas salvadas em cima da linha🔥🫡 🎥 Reprodução

FPL BGW29 Summary Points: 43 OR: 230k🔻 ⭐️: Timber: 9 much appreciated! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Palmer: Poor recently, then left me with 10 men. I’d have done -4 for Bruno if I’d known, a 13 point swing. Thoughts: Set up well for GW30 even if I don’t activate the Wildcard, hoping for fixture news before the deadline.

You know it’s going to be a painful gameweek when you don’t own Haaland or Marmoush, your Forest defender is the GK not Milenkovic, you’ve captained Wood and he’s not been involved in any of their 3 goals, and you don’t have any Wolves DF coverage. 😬

GW28 Selection Not looking forward to this one! - Salah (c) rested/rotated ahead of PSG? - Dango dropped for Evanilson? - Gakpo may not even make the bench, but can’t drop him ahead of SOU! Leaves 2 transfers for next week without FH, will be Gakpo out to field XI. Good luck all!
