🤔 FPL managers, would you rather...
🏆 A - Win FPL once, but never finish inside the top 10k again.
or
🔝 B - Never win FPL, but finish inside the top 10k every season.
Don't like a -4 after a WC but Antonio for Bamford had to happen and Sarr's fixtures mean I think he's worth a 2 week punt over Torres.
5/5 captain returns this season.
Was meant to be on the FPL show tonight.
After nearly 4 hours on a train and 1 hour in a taxi I get there and have come down with a really bad cold.
I was given some stuff and fell asleep on a couch.
When I woke up
@FPLGeneral
was discussing Burnley.
If you constructed your wildcard team for one week, you did it wrong.
If you created it as a platform for the next few gameweeks, judge it in a few gameweeks.
Pep: Phil, there's some good news and some bad news.
Foden: What's the good news?
Pep: Half the squad have covid so you're in the starting 11 and will have to play 90.
Foden: Get in! What's the bad news?
Son and Kane did what Fernandes and Martial were meant to do.
Spurs looked terrible then scored 5 away. Man U looked terrible but selling could be a huge mistake.
Just noticed the Kings of the gameweek.
GW15 Hause 15
GW16 Mee 15
GW17 Tierney 18
GW18 Keane 11
GW19 Stones 27
GW20 Cancelo 17
GW21 Azpilicueta 15
GW22 Wan-Bissaka 17
GW23 Foden 16
3 out the last 5 are City players
8 out the last 9 are defenders
Wildcarded last night.
Rather than waiting until GW7 to get the team I want, I thought I'd just get it now.
Thinking Spurs isn't a 4 FDR fixture for Chelsea so no need to wait for them any longer.
Everyone's looking at City v Norwich in GW2 forgetting Chelsea play Palace in GW1.
Palace have lost a few players and there's talk of them transitioning to a more attacking team. Remember when De Boer tried that.

No Liverpool player ever owned.
Going KDB captain and bringing Tierney in would have brought me to about 90k.
Already looking forward to the game reopening.
I've crunched some numbers for GW9 and after extensive analysis can confirm 45 points is what the optimum skill level got you.
The skill level decreases gradually to 66 points. 67+ points is all luck.
Over 100 points and you're rubbish.
Everton low-down: The front 4 are all playing well. Rich and Theo are the only ones to return but I think they'll even out over the next few weeks. Points are coming for Tosun and Sig but the latters price makes him the least appealing of the 4. Avoid defence until CB pair form.
Merry Boxing Day!
GW 14 - 72 points
GW 15 - No transfers. Not much time in between deadlines so a little concerned what the drunk me will do with two frees.
I felt 3 attacking DGW players was enough so rolling a transfer and done Digne to Trippier.
Hazard or Richarlison to Son next week.
Good luck to all except Salah! 😉
Probably no need to take a hit with Livra on the bench but
Grealish & Lukaku to Havertz & Vardy
Could afford Son and want Son but going Havertz's fixtures over Son's form, ability, explosiveness & FPL greatness.
Antonio to Watkins, other transfer rolled.
Kane's last chance.
Although after captaining him the last two weeks, hauling now after I've taken the armand off him might annoy me in to selling anyway. Ronaldo's just a better option.
I think this is it.
City score at least 5 every home game.
James, Lukaku; lads, it's Tottenham.
Leeds attack & token Wolves player.
Would like Fernandes and defence isn't ideal next week but this offers overall balance. For now...

Since winning, I've had 4 of my 5 worst finishes out of 12 seasons.
This has also coincided with Salah, TAA and having a kid.
Managers with kids under 5 should start on 100 points per kid.
Ater a disastrous gameweek it's time to bring in guaranteed starter Foden and 22 goal a season man Aubameyang.
Might end up with the armband on Foden.
Vice on Auba for morale boost.
Martinelli to Odegaard - transfer has been coming.
Patterson to Tarkowski - minutes and goal threat.
Mudryk to McNeil (-4) - big upgrade in quality. Giving him the VC to show my faith.
Damage limitation week but might surprise.
