#fpl GW25 is one to survive! 1FT so Saka becomes Rogers. Had fleeting thoughts on Timber in for a hit… but instead I’ll just hope he keeps quiet for this GW. Bruno with the armband, OR 428k. Good luck all!

In a worthy but long online work meeting. So I have been working out how my #FPL auto subs have done this season. 31 points across 10 subs. The ’highlight‘ has been Minteh with 11 points in GW12. Would we settle for one round of bench jam per season? Back to the millstone…

A much needed and welcomed green arrow, especially after the Saka news and last minute Brighton double clean sheet wipe out after the first round of matches. Will take the 140k rise and move on… #fpl

No Saka. Oh well, maybe Van Hecke can come off the bench and join his comrade Vebruggen for a cheeky double clean sheet? But, alas, #fpl doesn’t seem to like nice things… (especially this season).

Doing the Edinburgh Festival this year? Have a read of this:

This is how I line up for #fpl GW24. Last couple of weeks have been brutal. I hope for some sort of variance inspired redemption 🙏 Let me know if my starting XI / bench is out of order..

The final words of Icarus:

All out for 24. Comfortably the worst gameweek I’ve ever had. My previous worst was last week. And I quite like my team on paper! Nevermind, changes coming… #fpl

Apparently not 😂 1 more to go

#FPL disaster class. 4 to go… surely the only way is up…

I’ll tell you what’s #fpl heritage… seeing how many 1 pointers you can get in a single GW (4 out of 5 so far)

#fpl Oh no! I missed the leaks. Damage limitation hat on 😂

#fpl Changes are on the horizon so what’s one more red arrow, among friends? Limping (and rolling) into this one - what will be, will be #GW23 OR: 333k

Early #fpl #gw23 thoughts welcome on my (in the weeds) benching dilemma… one of Andersen (BHA - H), Aldereye (WHA - A) or Minteh (FUL - A) need to sit it out… but which one? (I’m leaning towards starting Minteh after this 30 odd mins this week)

Listening to some C Duncan. Wistful, melodic… sort of stripped down Bacharach vibes. Warms the cockles of my heart on a wet, dank day. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3o45...

Worst GW rank ever (9.9m)… only 17 days after my previous worst ever GW rank. And it could have been a lot worse! Only way is up, surely?

Plugged in some numbers to @livefpl.net If Rogers, Bruno G and Thiaw do things then I’m looking at a potential 600k rank (265k at the start). Worse case, but helps manage expectations 😂

21 points from 8… And I had such high hopes for this GW. Oh well, some Lightbulb pale ale and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is welcome respite from the #fpl lottery.

Saka on the bench? Yet another pointless GW #dadjoke #FPL

#FPL How do, GW22. Team feels a bit middle of the road this week… but keen on those transfers for 24. Would love to start Minteh but potential def cons put paid to that. Slow and steady and all that. Good luck all. OR: 265k

#fpl The forwards and Def Con Tarki aside, it‘s been a rather underwhelming GW21. Four reds in the last five GWs, things for me to ponder after the FA cup fixtures,

#fpl GW21 - Tarkowski in for VvD. Was tempted to roll but have made my peace on missing any bullet headers… Feels like a back to earth gameweek post Rice/Thiago heroics. OR 209k, good luck all!

A lot of lost ground recovered, for which I am grateful. VvD likely out before the next deadline but not going to rush a decision.

#fpl #GW20 then. Verbruggen in for Raya to make space for Gabriel (in for Guehi). No hits taken, would be tempted if I could find someone for Minteh/Rice… but happy for the bench to step in. My expectations are once again incredibly low but I’m drinking a nice rum so all is well.

#fpl 9.5m game rank. Worst I’ve ever had. And a bunch of garden centre games to boot. On that note, Happy New Year!

Arsenal find a way to destroy my rank when I don’t have their players… and also when I do. It’s quite the #fpl thing 🤷

#fpl #gw19 Half way point! Need to arrest a slow rank decline but I fear the last batch of chips this GW will scupper that. Travelling, so this is how I will likely line up. Rolling a transfer, hoping for a green! Good luck all OR: 323k

#FPL Ekitike welcomed into the fold in a bid to recover some lost ground. Expectations, as ever, remain managed. Good luck all! #GW18

#merrychristmas from a cold and bright Christmas Day Stevenage #parkrun And Reg the cockerpoo completes his second one 🎄🐶

#FPL #GW17 An 85k rank loss this week. Ekitike already in for Bruno, Potts for Guiu. Merry Christmas!

Red Arrow? Bruno still to come? Deep breath… #fpl

This feels like one of those bonkers gameweeks. Never thought Rice would save me from the total depths but here we are #fpl

Damn. Just checked on the scores… This could be one of those 8-10m Gameweek ranks… #fpl

#fpl No alarms, no surprises, as the song goes. Rolling (2 free transfers for next week, lucky me). And against chips etc so playing very safe. Def con has played a part in my thinking. But no shame in that. Good luck all! OR: 197k

#fpl Dilemma time… which one of these fellas do I bench? I’m leaning towards JCVH as I would kick myself for missing a Virgil return… Hmm.

#GW16 #fpl All 5 transfers gratefully received and used. Glad to have some Arsenal outfield coverage… otherwise it’s slow and steady… Good luck all! OR: 277k

Praise be! Raya gets a save point #fpl #Christmasmiracle

#FPL Foden joins. And I get to ditch João Pedro in a few hours! Happy days. OR: 352k

Handy debut for me, JPvH. Good man #fpl

#fpl Oh heck, it’s Van Hecke! A debut, coming in for Senesi. Good luck for #GW14

A total cricket hero of my youth. What a batter! 62 is no age. RIP

#fpl Knocking on the door of 500k… 21 points up on my regular team. May treat myself to a hit for #gw14

#fpl Barring any last minute injuries I hear about first thing, my FH team is good to go. A bit of bench depth as well as won’t be around for deadline. Good luck all! #GW13

#mbv My Bloody Valentine tonight at Wembley. Magnificent. Takes my mind off FH13 for a while #fpl

#fpl 33 points, week game rank of 9m. Yuk. Until next time

#FPL #GW10 Done the transfer that everyone else has done… Just checked and, outside of Haaland, only two attacking returns from forwards in 14 starts. Hope that changes this week.

Good to see Slot using Football Manager’s ‘ask club captain to call squad meeting‘ option #whenlifeimitatesFM www.theguardian.com/football/202...

#fpl #gw8 Pedro in for the first time. BB activated… slow and steady for the next few GWs (hopefully). Minteh and Sarr can hopefully do a few things during that time

#fpl #benchboost Set up to bench boost… I could do Foster and Alderete to Pedro and Diouf… worth the minus 4)?
