Today’s game didn’t affect me too much - just squeaked a one point green arrow. Was looking so much better until Watkins’ goal was disallowed and then Joao Pedro happened … 724K —> 706K

Forgot to post my team! GW29 🔐 🧢 :Semenyo 🌎 :724K Transfer rolled - really wanted Ekitike but would’ve meant ditching Haaland or taking a hit. Still came close to doing both but went for an uncharacteristically sensible roll Good luck all! 💙

83 all out - hit takes it down to 79 and 724K. First decent week I can remember in ages and a 12 point green arrow. Fully admit I got lucky with Bruno vice and KDH bench jam but I’ll take it!

I’m so finished with Watkins but who can I even rage transfer him to? I’ve got Haaland and Thiago and no cash so can’t afford Gyokeres or Ekitike. I’m thinking Raul Jimenez but what are his minutes going to be like? Maybe Sesko finally starts, but if not, who else? Evanilson? Pedro?

GW28 🔐 FT: Timber ➡️ van Dijk FT: Wirtz ➡️ Wilson -4: Guiu ➡️ Thiago 🧢: Haaland 🌍: 930K Wirtz injury has pushed me into a -4 but that’s ok. Last chance saloon for Watkins, he could be rage transferred out before the second game if the week has started … Good luck all! 💙

Ok at least I have exact money to go Wirtz and Guiu to Thiago and 5.9M midfielder. But who? Wilson Dango Tavernier Rayan Anderson someone else 🤷‍♂️

44 all out, three point red and still just clinging onto the top million. I need an exciting week!

GW27 🔐 Rolling FT - Captain Haaland OR: 885K I’ll be hiding behind the sofa for Palmer and Pedro and already planning next week’s moves. Pretty fed up with my constant non-moving rank, but guess there’s still time. Good luck all! 💙

Two point red arrow. Felt a lot worse and could’ve been so much better if I hadn’t taken a bit to remove Rice and get Gabriel in to TC him. Dorgu to Bueno and captain Rice was the play I came close to but chickened out of.

GW26 🔐 FT: Dorgu ➡️ Gabriel FT: Rice ➡️ KDH -4: Andersen ➡️ Hill 🧢 🧢 🧢 : Gabriel OR: 797K Let’s do this!

For GW26 I want to go Dorgu/Rice to Gabriel/Rayan with 2FT but need a raise 0.7M via an additional -4 to facilitate. Which is best? Wirtz —> Enzo Andersen —> Hill Watkins —> Pedro Mbeumo —> Rogers Or any other suggestions? I’m leaning Hill because I don’t want to lose any of the other three

68 all out - grey arrow bang on safety score. 810K —> 797K, small rise but sounds better as it begins with a lower number … 🤷‍♂️

If you see this post, post a character that begins with D

GW25 🔐 🌎 : 810K 🧢 : Bruno Fernandes Transfer rolled - midfield looks strong but feeling light on Chelsea. And no idea how to get Gabriel into the team, that can be next week’s problem with two FTs Good luck all! 💙

69 all out and an 8 point green. 986K —> 810K Best week in ages but could’ve been so much better. Transfers cost me 13 points and I bottled out on a last minute -4 of Watkins to Pedro which could’ve gained me a handful more. At least a decent move in the right direction.

My Senesj to Dorgu move this week not looking the most astute 🤦‍♂️

GW24 🔐 FT: Senesi ➡️ Dorgu FT: Cherki ➡️ Mbeumo 🧢: Fernandes Yes I was one of the fools who went early on Dorgu, he can be next week’s problem now. Debated moving Watkins out for a hit (Pedro? Thiago? Evanilson?) but decided to risk that he plays. Good luck all! 💙

Told myself I wouldn’t wildcard unless I got injuries this week. I’ve got Watkins and Dorgu 🤦‍♂️

Six point green and squeaked back into the top million. I’m sure I say that every other week … time to stop the yoyo ranks! Watkins the hero, outscored most people’s forward line of Haaland, Thiago and Ekitike put together

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 👊
