I binged it in 2 days, loved it

The hacker managed to pick a couple of players that scored points, could have been even worse

I saw somebody post that it’s how much you have in the bank, but without the decimal point. So £22 is £2.2m and 4 is £0.4m 🤷♂️

What on earth is this double gameweek? I’m averaging about 2.5 points per player per game and based on what I’ve seen on here, I’m actually doing pretty well 😂

Which tournament are you playing in? I haven’t played one for years!

I’ve got a similar squad, I want to give Saka an extra week to get a bit fitter plus I want to see if Savinho is back for City this week. BB could be really good but also could be a catastrophe this week if neither of those play

That’s horrifying

There’s a couple of people in my work mini league that are clearly doing it, including copying creators. Did some research and saw that one had exactly the same team as FPL Harry for the first half of the season, until he missed a price rise and had to start doing his own thing, then fell apart 😂

I think the payment is debatable as people might pay to support somebody they like, but I don’t get the point of using an algorithm to make choices for you - where is the enjoyment? People can’t honestly get satisfaction from clicking buttons that a computer has told you to click?

It happened to Gareth Bale - the longer his hair got, the worse he played

I like it, seems like there’s love for both though. Can you offer both on the site and allow people to choose?

Agree, takes the pressure of the developers too and saves a huge number of continual complaints and bad publicity as more and more bugs are found. Would rather wait than have an unplayable game.

I’m almost certainly doing (a) - unless something big changes. I want to try and minimise the gap between the wildcard and bench boost

Great work, my season is really similar! I’m almost there, shows that a bad start can be turned around with a bit of patience and some good picks

Same. Whatever you win, I want it too

Yellow and red card system would work, two slurps and you get sent home with no pay, 5 slurps over the course of a month and it’s a one day suspension

I wanted to hate it but I prefer it now. Very few dead games, and every team gets a few difficult fixtures rather than 6 games against 3 Eastern European clubs most people have never heard of. Even the clubs at the top have motivation to keep winning to avoid the extra 2 fixtures

Think it’s one of Fernandes or Mbeumo - Fernandes will give you more flexibility

Best to make sure you’ve fully understood it by watching it all again before watching the final one I would say

I feel like the quality of posts is much higher here. Almost no silly arguments, engagement farming and noise. No people recommending silly differentials for the sake of it. I think the average maturity level of people is higher on here and I’m not interested in seeing kids arguing! Not going back!

Hope so, moving away from the platform that shall not be named has been quite refreshing. Happy to live in blissful ignorance over here whilst he uses his platform to declare war on and interfere with other countries.

Great progress! I see a lot of this, but it’s more about people trying to get a higher and higher rating and then getting fed up when it stops increasing. Keep playing for the enjoyment and a higher ELO will come with it!

Live commentary on top level tournaments especially from GMs, the speed that they spot tactics and lines is incredible

I’ve played the Italian for most of my life and never moved away, quite simple to learn the general ideas!

Hi Dan, if you could add @fplforpetesake.bsky.social it would be great!

How effective would this be? Wouldn’t Antony be cutting into where Amad already is? Same with Dalot. This is based on having watched one Sporting game under Amorim so I’ve no idea how this system actually works on the pitch

I only tend to take hits for players I’ll have for a long period of time. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a well-timed -16 or -20 though to take advantage of some fixture swings though - I took a -20 towards the end of last season and I was 100 points better off within 5 weeks!

Earlier this year I was one number away from winning the Set for Life £10k per month for 30 years, so close to never having to work again!

Now that a lot of the negativity seems to have disappeared, I think we need a few Bluesky police officers to keep the streets clean

I had a back line of Lucas Digne, Matty Cash and Reece James a couple of seasons ago and it was an absolute nightmare

Now that there is a clean slate, it will be easy to see who the troublemakers are when they arrive!

I think people will be moving away from the 3 very cheap forwards in a couple of weeks to have at least one of Isak/Jackson/Havertz if they get a few blanks, so I like the idea of keeping one around that price. Maybe in GW13/14 downgrade either Bruno or Mbeumo to £5m/£6m to give you some freedom?
