For those re-entering FPL reality after the IB break — a quick story about patience, nostalgia, and a kick under the table in ’76.

Ok, own up Who fell for the hype?

He said I needed fresh air. What I got was Manchester United, a lifelong obsession — and the plan for my FPL Bench Boost. ⚽️ Fresh Air, FA Cups & Fantasy Points 👉 fplrogue.blogspot.com/2025/10/fres...

Not often you come across a negative form for a player.

🧵 #GoodPuntBadPunt — GW [7️⃣] 💚 Good Punt 💀 Bad Punt Last 2 to 3 GWs. You know the drill. #FPL #FPLCommunity

Salah (and Haaland) owners, what’s the plan❓

Finally a keeper that actually catches the ⚽️ 🤩

Pick one Defcon dude for next 6 GWs Senesi (have Petrovic) 👎 Richards 👍 Burn 🔥 My attempt at a 🦋poll

#GW7 — GW22 #theFPLmatrix 💚💛❤️

Hot take🔥: Goals are drying up. After 6 GWs we’re ~25% down on last season. No wonder defenders top FPL — it’s not Defcon, it’s a goal drought. #levity

As it’s #GW6 WC Day….. Just a friendly reminder to those who removed Mo Salah Salah’s record Vs 🦅’s Played: 16 ✅Wins: 11 ➖ Draws: 3 ❌ Losses: 2 ⚽️ Goals: 9 🅰️ Assists: 5 14 ⚽️ contributions in 16 matches 🔥

Salah & Haaland seems like a differential squad looking at all the WC 🍟 drafts for #GW6 Anyone else in this boat?

The decision is made unfortunately but if YOU were the manager of Manchester United who would you play in goal on Sunday? #ManUtd #ManchesterDerby #MUFC 🅰️ Bayindir 🅱️ Lammens 🦋don’t do polls so answer with a gif

Take this FH 🍟 away from me please ….

Note to self✍️ (as a #GW4 Freehitter) #MUFC are a stronger side than Moldova Stay strong & resist the murmurings

Orwell wasn’t warning about politics. He was warning about #FPL “Who controls the past ( #GW1 non-template squads) controls the future. Who controls the present (0.5 ITB) controls the past.”

“Bishbashbosh Utd” raise your hand & take a bow. Pole position after #GW1 on 76pts 👏👏👏

#FPL is back 😎

For the Deadline Day rush⤵️

One day & a bit to deadline

💹 PL GW1 matchups A first look at sharp market projections for the opening round of PL fixtures, covering: 🔹 GW1 projected goals & clean sheet odds 🔹 GW1 teams to target 🔹 GW1 WDL odds

Debating that one vital piece of the #FPL 🧩 brings me back to the Banksy quote I used in this piece from Jan 2020 fplrogue.blogspot.com/2020/01/bank...

Here we go then..

T-3 for the late late drafters #FPL

#GW1-to-GW8 #theFPLmatrix 💚💛❤️

Now that the #CommunityShield dust has settled….. Anyone else STILL contemplating a Salah TC 🍟 in #GW1 ❓

T-4 for anyone just arriving back to #FPL

Some concerns with my draft ⏰ Guiu & Malen minutes 🤕 Rogers fitness 🚨 DEFCON impact SO reverted back to 3-4-3 #FPLCommunity lend me your thoughts Constructive criticism welcome

The looooooooooooong view #theFPLmatrix 💚💛❤️

🔥 Hot Take on This Season’s #FPL 🔥 “BB1 or 2 will disrupt your team balance over the opening 6 GWs” —————- If hitting that button! What’s your dreamscape if it goes belly up❓👇

One week to go so reposting for the late #FPL arrivals

🍟 Plan sorted ✅

The BB🍟 in #GW1 or 2️⃣ is all the rage Is the ✅ 🍟 play for GW1 getting overlooked❓

10 days to the eve of deadline #1 So reposting this for late drafters.

Initial #FPL draft (Squad A) below was my first pick & forget 3-4-3. Converging on a 4-4-2 with the following 3 variants. Tear it apart please

Any threads out there on the optimal £17m bench? #FPL 2nd GK - 4.0 - Kinsky ✅ 5th DEF - 4.0 -❓ 5th MID - 4.5 -❓ 3rd FWD - 4.5 -❓ Any suggestions for the ❓’s

Great to see #MUFC players with smiles on their faces in preseason💪 Think some of the squad could be great differentials, despite the tough opening games, in #FPL this season.

Is a small lunchtime tinker on the one & only #FPL draft classified as a new draft if you hit reset at the end of the tinker?

Is it my 🦋 TL or are people here just generally more relaxed & sitting on a draft until closer to #GW1 Cos my ❌ TL is flooded with drafts….

Pogačar, superhuman or ….. #TourDeFrance

Thanks to all who provided some initial feedback. Coincidentally it resonates with the same concerns I have with this draft. AS Roma wasn’t built in 90 minutes.

For all 🦋 FPL people Just setup a league. No entry, no prizes, just pride at stake. Feel free to enter & pass the good word. #FPL fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto...

Looking for honest feedback on this (one & only) draft. Have thick skin, open to change, appreciate other views & not planning to tinker until #GW1 minus 5. Heading into a planning phase & would like to know the weak points, red flags etc. P.S I could ask ChatGPT but prefer human opinions. #FPL

Careful folks of the dreaded “Repetitive Draft Injury” #FPL

🗳️ Initial #FPL draft 🇪🇬👑 “A Salah Only” squad Will resist the temptation to tinker until the last preseason week 🤞 Need to work on a plan & then validate those gut feeling choices. 🧩 GW1-19 Strategy awaits …..,

As the pre-season friendlies will start soon & with the DEF 4.5m slots in mind, I will be keeping an eye on these three. Who is on your watchlist & for which position? #FPL

How come Wood is not appearing in any FH drafts? He did look sharp Vs Spurs on Monday night🤔

Calling Villa fans. Now that Villa are out of the CL (hard luck, that ref🙄) will Emery stick to the CB pairing of Konsa/Torres or will he still rotate? #GW33

Should I be overjoyed or concerned that my one FT 🎯 is not getting a mention anywhere? 5% ownership & 0.2m undervalued Last 7 days 90 mins x2 🅰️ x 2
