#fpl Muharemović, Hall and Barnes get me out of a hole. Fortunate to get a green in a gameweek that was bumpy to say the least… OR: 463k

#fpl I was aiming to get into the top million but a 20pt BB may have pushed me into the top 500k (just). Will take that, thank the variance gods (particularly for Manzambi), and run. Until GW8!

#fpl GW7 brings the BB. Schade out (a shame) for Manzambi (what could go wrong?) 🤖 has the armband, bench present and correct (no bench order tomfoolery here). OR = 1.4m… hoping this lot can push me into the top million. Good luck all!

#fpl A wildcard red arrow. Not good, not terrible. Need to find a new mid to allow a bench boost next week (assuming no more injuries). OR: 1.42m. Ta ra for a few days.

#fpl Better sort out my wildcard before the deadline… but first it is always good to see #Gene in action at the Roundhouse. Fantastic, as always 😀

All good things… Lovely to give #SaintEtienne a UK send off for (very likely) the final time…

#fpl GW5 = 49 points and an OR of 1.3m. Not good, not terrible. Will wildcard at some point in the next 20 days. See you in October!

#fpl GW5 - not much time as off to see @bobpetesarah.bsky.social do their thing. MGW in for Wirtz. Hoping for a pre-IB push into the top million. Nothing can stop us! (Hopefully) #saintetienne

#fpl Nice 750k green arrow. Very steady stuff. MGW in for Wirtz the most likely move for GW5 and then it’s all change during the IB... Until next time.

#fpl Bruno out, Palmer (c) in. OR: 2m, WC still due in GW6. The urge for a Calafiori hit has been resisted… May variance be kind to you all this week 😀

#FPL I need to set up for GW3 today as heading away and no access to internet etc until post deadline. Will therefore miss team news et al so playing safe - will likely bring in Hall and Gross for Rodon and Tzolis (Thomas back on the bench). TC will go on the robot. What will be, will be.

#FPL Approx 5.3m green arrow so no complaints this week. 110 points, upto 2.2m. Some potential issues to address in GW3 include Rodon, Van Hecke and Tzolis. Not ideal, but will ponder some options.

Glum Wirtz owner here. When is Szoboszlai getting his #fpl points then?

#fpl Rational head - it’s a marathon, not a sprint; variance; in 10 mins it’s all out of my control. FPL head - how do this lot screw me for another 7.5m gameweek rank? Submitted with some residual post GW1 angst. Bruno (c)... ATB everyone!

The view on poor early #fpl gameweeks is to ignore rank - and it’s sound advice. One extra small tip I have is to look at the LiveFPL website and keep tabs on how many points you are off the top 100k. I’m 42 off - that can be erased by a couple of good (lucky?) captaincies. Helps keep perspective 😀

#FPL I’ve had better opening gameweeks - a rank of 7.5m is hardly ideal - but will keep this lot of point dodgers for GW2. I was never going to bench boost but those wasted points are frustrating. And Wirtz feels like a forced error on my part but hopefully things pick up. Until next time…

#fpl Here we go again. To paraphrase, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In that spirit, welcome back Wirtz 😀 Otherwise fairly template. No chips for the foreseeable. Good luck everyone!

A warm evening, #fpl back up and running. Pondering the inclusion of Garner in GW1 squad and I get stung by a wasp. There’s probably a message in that. Namely, leave it for a couple of weeks.

Superb, as ever.

Following the Football Manager esque ‘let’s change the mentality setting to cautious’ disaster class this evening, my mood is immediately improved by seeing that S4 of Strange New Worlds starts next week. That’s a bonus #SNW

Oh well, I hope Spain take Argentina to the cleaners (TBF, they would have done that to us)

@supertrain.bsky.social I reckon this would have worked in the current SNW era… best of both worlds, even.

#fpl Pleased to get XI out and finish the season with a green and final rank of (approx) 52k. Delighted as it has been a strange/tough/frustrating slog of a season... variance has been kind to me since GW32. Enjoy the summer!

#fpl GW38 madness. Bowen comes in for Pedro with my solitary transfer. Have avoided a hit - but it means Mane over Saka. The times we live in! Good luck all!

Totally unplanned but watched the ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ which then prompted a long overdue listen to the Tears debut (and only) album which came out about a week later. A welcome blast of nostalgia all round.

#fpl So congrats to Arsenal and all that. But now GW38 could be a real pain to navigate. Until then, a welcome green - with (unlikely) thanks to Mane! OR: 71k

#fpl In this season, we take miracles when we can

#fpl GW37. Need 3 Arsenal but skint. Raya in, funded by DCL to Mane. Leaves me change for next week as well. A lot of EO etc covered so Mane is my mad (or unwise) bit of fun. Saka (c), 86k. Good luck all!

#fpl A red arrow but damage duly limited thanks to DCL and Semenyo… and they may be the ones to go in GW37 (possibly eyeing KDH and Gyokeres) The top 100k mission stays on track… for now.

#fpl 95% sure this is how I line up for GW36. Saka in for Palmer. Transfers are precious so will likely roll the other one and skip Palace... prefer to have them for next week’s fun and games. So this is aweek for clinging on. OR: 86k, 🤖 (c) good luck all!

#fpl That felt like a slog of a gameweek. Hill does the heavy lifting for the (as it stands) smallest of greens. Until next time.

#fpl GW35. Gabriel in for Senesi, Hill ahead of Struijk (spread the risk/love). Thing I’m most looking forward to? Whatever fresh way Pedro can troll me this week. Good luck all OR: 86k

#fpl Into the top 100k for the first time in a couple of years. Will take that. Free Hit does its job. Adieu, MGW and Bowen… Shame it’s back to Pedro once again. See you all very soon. OR: 86k

#fpl A decent week. Away with work so have had little chance to keep up. Something about barbers? I don’t know the rules but I guess, from a BB perspective, Van Hecke comes in for non-starter Pedro but that still leaves a 19 point BB and I’m happy. Until next time.

#fpl BB in play, Senesi in for Gabriel. Robot captain, OR: 243k. See you all on the other side 👍

#fpl Bench boosting - my only single GW players are Gabriel and Bruno. I have two free transfers. Considering Gab to Senesi. FH for GW34 and line up okay for GW5. Worth the transfer?
