64 all out and up to 🌍74k. Decent week all round, although last night was a bit annoying. Onto the last week! Likely Evanilson or Saka but might punt on someone more fun.

Absolutely thrilled for Palace. Proper club.

Isak > Watkins (c) 🌍 91k Let’s hope for another Spurs disaster class 🤞

Currently on this. Weighing up either Isak to Watkins or Mateta to Wissa. Really want Watkins but I’m more wary of the Palace boys’ minutes, particularly as I’m not sure both City attackers start on Tuesday. (Ever more regretful I went Kev over Schade or even did those City moves at all 🤦‍♂️)

Hang it in the Louvre.

66 (-4) all out. Decent week, even if the silly Man City transfers cost me points in the end. Up to 🌎 91k and more important moved 9 points clear in the mini-league that matters.

Salah > De Bruyne Marmoush > Haaland (c) (-4) Changed from Mateta > Wissa last minute and I already think it was probably a mistake 😂 🌎 105k

Gone for Haaland and Kev for the -4. Genuinely not sure if it’s a terrible decision, but it feels very fun so fuck it. I look forward to Wissa now killing me.

Haaland feels such a trap but if that leak drops…

Tempted by Schade for Sarr but I think it will be Cunha or Wise for Mateta. One point clear in my main mini-league but my opponent has 3 FTs 😬

52 all out. Small green up to 🌍105k. Should’ve hedged and only had one of the Arsenal defence but oh well. A decent week that also feels a little underwhelming.

Saka > Mbeumo Bowen 🫡 Was really a toss of the coin between which Palace attacker to bench, let’s see how the big man does. 🌍 115k

Mateta and Mbeumo or Wissa and Sarr, that is the question...

95 all out on the FH and up to 🌍 115k. Now to decide whether to roll or bring in one of the Brentford boys 🤔

All nine players returned today, giving me 76 points with Mbeumo and captain Salah to go. Not bad 😅

Here we go.

Was fairly set on Cunha and Strand Larsen but now Bellagrde is back I'm tempted to lose them both, triple the Wolves defence, triple the Newcastle attack and have Welbz and Wood alongside Isak.

77 (-4) in the end, small green but disappointing considering BB. Stil can’t believe Saka didn’t return in that Ipswich game… On the plus side the four players I brought in got me 36 points (-4) and Bowen did the business over a doubler. Up to 🌍 174k with FH this week.

Forgot to post team so here it is midway through. Took a -4 for: Gabriel > Kiwior Khusanov > Gabriel Murphy > Rogers Foden > Bowen Captain: Saka 🌎 185k Playing to win mini-leagues at this point.

Think I’m probably set. Late call will be Foden vs. Saka, maybe we’ll get a leak. Captain: Isak 🌎 183k

An actual green arrow as I live and breathe.

We go again. No transfers. Isak captain. Bench an absolute joke one week after wildcarding. 🌍 204k

Narrator: it was not, in fact, time to end the run of six red arrows

Gambled on the Saka start, he could do something off the bench if not. Targeting BB32 in the end to save fixtures down the line. Here we go!

Hmmmmm, BB32 vs. 33 is hard. Which of the below do people think is better? BB32: 1 transfer needed in next 3 weeks: LEI (H) CRY (H) CRY (H) sou (a) BB33: 3 transfers needed in next 3 weeks: SOU (H) NEW (H) NEW (H) WOL (H) mci (a) mci (a)

WC locked. 14 of 15 players changed, would imagine that’s the most ever for me. Captaincy close between Marmoush and Salah, likewise between starting Murphy or Saka. Both could change before the deadline. OR: 182k Time to end this run of SIX red arrows!

WC time. 12 players locked in, decision is Foden, Khusanov and Areola vs. Kluivert, Gvardiol and Martinez. The first locks in BB33, the second gives the option of BB32.

The shit show continues. Sixth red in a row and down to 182k, lowest I’ve been since GW20. Was going ok until Bruno happened, he absolutely fucked me.

Salah > Kluivert Gakpo > Haaland (-4) 🌍 OR: 125k Let’s see if we can get that sixth red arrow in a row…

Could’ve been worse though tbf, could’ve captained an out-of-form Palmer (again) against a mutant Salah.

Dango over Kluivert despite spending two weeks beforehand being all set on Kluivert is another belter of a decision. God bless this season.

1 FT used: Wood > Cunha (absolutely classic FPL) Cap: Salah OR: 117k Fully expecting neither Dango or Gakpo to start. Sigh.

It's been quite the four weeks...

The replies to this showing other people’s pain have made me feel better. We stand together, my shite bench friends.

Everyone has someone good coming off the bench bar me is it? Tremendous.

Shout out @fplsteve.bsky.social for the Neto shout, love to see that rewarded 👏 Hope Bowen can at least get some points on the board Thurs so I’m not too filled with regret…😅
