GW23 🔐 FT: Keane ➡️ Chalobah FT: Foden ➡️ Bruno 🧢: Semenyo OR: 1.14M Made the Foden to Bruno transfer early anyway, and Keane to Chalobah transfer last minute to strengthen my bench (was planning for GW24 anyway). Had Semenyo captain before the leak … anyway, here goes nothing! Good luck all 💙

Seventeen minutes to change my mind …

37 all out. Wirtz and not much else. Ended up as a three point red arrow. Still going the wrong way from the 1M - need a change!

GW22 🔐 Transfer roll Haaland captain OR: 1.1M No city leaks so crossing fingers for at least three starting out of four. Good luck all! 💙

Current team is still rocking the four City attackers. If I get a leak, any midfielder can become Rogers but otherwise I think I just roll … 🤷‍♂️

Waiting on Man City leaks as I’ve got Semenyo, Cherki and Doden all starting Is that still a thing? 🤷

52 all out. Four point red arrow and dumped out of the top 1M. It’s tough going! Nice to have a small break before next GW.

GW20 🔐 FT: Ekitike ➡️ Watkins 🧢: Haaland 🌎: 1M Should probably have rolled but I’m so bad at staying put once I get an idea! Good luck all! 💙

Has Wirtz lost his bonus points? 🤷‍♂️

42 points all out. Seven point red arrow. Weird week started so well with Rice and then fell apart. Back five had a shocker! Annoyingly I’ve also crashed out of the top million again.

GW20 🔐 Transfer rolled - captain Haaland. OR 923K Hope Rice plays - considered so many moves this week but opted for a rare week of caution for me, rolling my free transfer. Good luck all! 💙

47-4 for 43 all out. Zero goals and one assist! Bench players came on and played a blinder (Alderete the hero again) before Cherki’s random defcon gave me a small two point green arrow. Still mired in the 900K ranks but I’ll take it. PS Huge props to the new LiveFPL app - thank you Ragabolly!

GW19 🔐 FT: Tuanzebe —> Keane -4: Bruno —> Wirtz 🧢: Haaland OR: 982K Four flags including three starters so I’ve had to take a hit to get a team and any semblance of a bench. Limping through to the New Year barely in the top million. Good luck all! 💙

All out for 51 with -4, total 47. Grey arrow. Tiny 5K rise from 991K to 986K. So difficult to make a move this year 🤷‍♂️

GW18 🔐 FT: Saka —> Rice -4: Thiago —> Ekitike Yeah I know - I went early before the Bruno injury so it’s time to take my medicine. At least I have a GW longer to decide on his replacement (or even hold). This week’s team can cope so long as all 11 start. Good luck and happy Boxing Day! 💙

We will be giving away the following on Xmas Day 👇 10 sets x Coasters 3 x Beanies 1 x AAFPL Glass To get involved all you have to do is RT and like the below post. Merry Xmas 🎅

79 all out. Felt like a good week but it’s a red arrow thanks to Andersen’s last minute yellow. Still just inside the top million.

My wife says that Thomas Frank’s massive ears make him look like the BFG

GW17 🔐 FT: Enzo ➡️ Semenyo 🧢: Haaland 🌏: 965K 🏦: 1.2M Sort term attack of this week bringing in Semenyo. Next week could be a challenge short of cash and transfers to bring in Liverpool / Everton players but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Good luck all! 💙

12 point green arrow and up to 969K. Could’ve been more if I’d stuck with captain Haaland but nice to have a green in a high scoring week. Late Alderete bonus point about ten minutes ago finally sealed the top million!

GW16 🔐 FT: Pope ➡️ Raya FT: Munoz ➡️ Andersen FT: Mateta ➡️ Thiago FT: Mbeumo ➡️ Bruno Fernandes FT: Gakpo ➡️ Cherki Team had 7 flags and one AFCON player so it’s 5FTs of major surgery (wish I had more!) Cherki a gamble, and defence still needs sorting, but that’s for another week. Good luck all! 💙

Save your FTs for the tricky Xmas period, they say. Don’t splurge them all at once. What if your GW15 team has three red flags, one orange and three yellow? And that’s before considering AFCON players? (Thankfully just one) 🤯

Saving for posterity - this feels most unusual and is unlikely to happen again (or last any longer than today)

In other news, in the Ashes, Doggett is bowling to Duckett. This amuses me.

GW15 🔐 FT: Semenyo ➡️ Foden 🧢: Haaland OR: 1.3M 0.0 ITB Went early with my transfer while I could afford it, so nothing I can really do now except wait for the five freebies (and boy do I need them). Just need to get through this gameweek without too much damage. Good luck all! 💙

Weird week. Feels like I got every possible FH decision wrong. But 44 points is a 4 point green arrow taking me from 1.3M to 1.1M And my non-free hit team would’ve got 35 points (despite having 14 from Gakpo who I jettisoned for my FH team 🤷‍♂️) All this and next deadline just round the corner 🤯

Thiago might’ve saved my free hit but so far I’ve got all the 50/50 choices wrong. Cherki over Foden, Schade over Dango, O’Reilly over Gvardiol, van den Berg over Collins.

GW13 🔐 Free Hit 🧢: Haaland OR: About 1.3M (forgot to check) Decided against punting on Isak - after a million tweaks during the week have settled on this lot. Good luck all!

Can’t wait for deadline so I can stop all this FH13 tinkering and overthinking. Currently at the Isak punt stage - could this be a differential genius or just plain stupid? 🤯

Malen off in 59th minute - could he be being protected for the weekend’s game, cheeky free hit punt perhaps? (Picture from the brilliant @noscoredraws.com)

Six point green arrow and 47 all out - bit of a damp squib. Only got 1 point (Tuanzebe) for Semenyo. Still, first green for a while 👊

Having a definite rethink on FH13 next week. Especially the idea of getting Salah and Liverpool players in. 🤦‍♂️

First double figure scorer for me since GW7 that wasn’t Haaland or Gabriel

GW12 🔐 FT: Gabriel ➡️ Tuanzebe 🧢: Haaland 🌎: 1.5M Decided against the Allison transfer as too much of a luxury. Gabriel down to cheap defender gives me 4M+ to free hit GW13 and upgrade any midfielder to Saka in GW14. Good luck all! 💙

Thinking of using my one FT for Pope to Allison. I don’t need VVD as Munoz, Senesi and Timber can cover Gabriel. But Allison can get the same potential clean sheets as him over the next four weeks and surely has to be a Pope upgrade 🤔 I know the rule … never make keeper transfers …

Eleven point red arrow - bit of a shocker, rank plummet beyond 1.5M. Hate crap weeks before international breaks!

GW11 🔐 FT: Gordon ➡️ Mbeumo -4: Gyokeres ➡️ Mateta 🧢: Haaland 🌎: 1.1M Injuries have forced me into a -4 but only for two changes I wanted to make anyway. Wavering Senesi over Gakpo but think I’ll go the higher risk play. Good luck all! 💙

Thoughts on Gakpo this week? Play him vs City and risk a benching / one-pointer or play Senesi instead in a 4-4-2?

Managed 71 all out - might’ve been a three point red arrow, but considering this line of jokers in my midfield, I’ll take it

Going into GW10 without number four on the list. Or five. Or six. Or seven, eight, nine. Haven’t got tenth on the list either.

GW10 🔐 FT: Richards ➡️ Munoz 🧢: Haaland OR: 1.1M Keeping faith in Gyokeres while the whole world buys Mateta - this could go horribly wrong … Good luck all! 💙

Done! (So much for family loyalty)

Should I use my transfer to go Richards to Munoz? Richards probably plays today so it feels like a luxury move. But after Glasner’s comments it feels like his minutes are being managed. And I really want Munoz - he’s a fitnesss and minutes monster! 🤔

Ten point red arrow - from 790K to out of the top million again. As the cliche goes - feels like a good week to have a bad week.

GW9 🔐 FT: Bowen ➡️ Guiu FT: Doku ➡️ Gakpo 🧢: Haaland 🌎: 790K Been debating Kroupi vs Guiu all week, here’s hoping I’ve made the right call. Good luck all! 💙

Best cheap forward tor GW8? Need to play this week but happy to bench as eighth attacker going forward 1️⃣ Guiu (SUN) 2️⃣ Kroupi Jr. (NFO) 📊 Show results

Can’t decide whether to get Kroupi or Guiu in - want them to play this week then happy for them to be eighth attacker bench fodder. Been keen on Kroupi all week but Forest under Dyche feels a very different proposition to Forest under Ange and Guiu seems likely to get the nod home to Sunderland 🤔

Bench boost has got me 79 points and rank rise from 1.3M to the lofty heights of 757K No time to rest on my laurels - need to rage transfer Doku and Bowen.

Can’t work out the West Ham team at all (Diouf, AWB and Mavropanos all benched though). What’s the formation?

GW8 🔐 Transfer rolled Bench boost active Captain Haaland OR: forgot to check (about 1.2M?) Loving the look of this bench boost but needs the two flags to play and Doku to start. Good luck all!
