Initial thoughts around the mystery chip… Thoroughly underwhelmed. Just feels like a gimmick that you’d see in FPL challenge. Why couldn’t it be a double points or all out attack chip?!

Just made transfer of Flekken to Raya - I know a gk transfer outside of a wildcard.Am I mad? But I’m currently in a 3 way tussle in a mini league and trying to find good diff in weeks ahead. I’m not sure of the wisdom of ignoring GK moves.Ultimately we need 11 scoring players. What do you think?

To all the Haaland owners and esp those who 🧢 him (like me) I share your pain. Salah will inevitably come in with a haul but remember it’ll soon be game week 13 and it’s a long season. Don’t get too low! 1 good thing - you can afford to move to any other striker.There’s plenty of choice. #fpl

Team locked in Taken a bit of a punt by going Mbuemo to Gordon but prefer Newcastle’s run in medium term. May regret it over next 2 weeks. Haaland over Salah as 🧢. Mood music coming out of Man City seems positive and strangely feels a differential pick this week. Romero being out tipped me.

So am currently having an ongoing debate. Is Haaland a keep this week? Or is a transfer to Isak the way to go? Or do I wait a week and move Haaland on to Pedro? (when his status clearer) Or is Watkins flying under the radar for next 4 weeks? At least I know I want to keep Cunha/Wood OR do I?😂

This is thoroughly depressing. Rare political rant… We are blessed with the most beautiful waterways and we’re still destroying them for the sake of cheaper chickens and water company dividends. Great to see work of Angling Trust around raising this.

3 #fpl midfielders on my watchlist based on being: - decent to extreme differentials - potentially under the radar with good games ahead - regular starters - good in eye tests (be warned I am due an eye test) - not necessarily widely recommended elsewhere (prob for a reason!)

Anyone else having a sudden knee jerk reaction to consider Gordon as a transfer?! 😂 Clearly his output has not hit heights of last season but Newcastle’s run looks good. I still have a huge soft spot for him after last yr. Argh 😣 the pitfalls of previous season nostalgia…some1 convince me not to…

🚨FPL post alert🚨 Apologies to anyone not interested. I have increasingly found myself pondering the challenge of fixture difficulty divergence (or FDD) between different FPL resources. Whilst others will be better placed to explain what goes into difficulty ratings it can create real dilemmas…🧵

Also just watched ‘How to become a cult leader’ on Netflix - conclusion: it’s not for me…a timely reminder of the dangers of demigods tho.

Beautiful evening walk by the lake but rather than thinking about all the fish I’m unlikely to catch I’m agonising over whether a move from Haaland to Isak is the way to go…based on @fplblackbox-az.bsky.social discussions with Mark on last week (brilliant as ever) I think it is.
