The Serie A season is over, and so is the fantasy. It was my first year of following this league and playing this fantasy, so the start was pretty rough. But in the end I understood the game, I hope. 89 points in the last GW. The final OR is 432/27335 players. 890 UAH go to charity.

My worst ever FPL season since playing the game with some degree of dedication is finally over. The previous season was my best ever (top 1K), so the contrast was stark. But I’m still glad that I managed a comeback of sorts. 69 points this GW, OR is 746706. 690 UAH go to charity.

I was really positively surprised and glad that a new Ukrainian chess magazine was founded at the beginning of 2024! Yesterday I finally received my copies of the latest 2 issues.

GW37 was my best GW of the season by far, because of Brighton AM and, of course, Vardy (c) 💙 78 points all out. I am in top 1 million now for the first time, and I kid you not, since GW1 :) Now just hope for one more green arrow. 780 UAH go to charity

In the Serie A fantasy, I had quite good GW 37, despite being tricked by Atalanta team news again. 87 points all out, green arrow up to OR 500. Still have 2FTs for the final GW, so probably will do something fin with them. 870 UAH go to charity.

A gameweek to remember

Jamie Vardy out. Premier league champion. FA Cup winner. Everyone went, he stayed. Leicester’s GOAT. Thanks for everything.

Here is how Ukrainian viewers voted in Eurovision last night: 12: 🇱🇹 10: 🇳🇴 8: 🇱🇻 (Sorry, 🇪🇪, but your guy has some pro-Russian ties, so only 2 points for you)

Using highly scientific methods to choose my Assistant Manager

One last party (although pretty sure he’ll score and get a yellow card for his celebrations)

In Serie A fantasy this GW my captain blanked, my main GK got benched for the second week in a row and I got tricked by Gasperini team news - again! Nevertheless, I managed to get 67 points and a tiny green arrow up to OR 619. Have 4 FTs, so there will be some fun punts. 670 UAH go to charity.

Another good FPL gameweek, and I am quite close to a 6-digit rank! 74 points all out, OR is 1150270. Will I go all-in next GW with a Vardy captaincy and/or table bonus AM? We will see. 740 UAH go to charity.

Heart over mind ❤️

Quite a good GW in the UCL fantasy, 68 points all out and green arrow up to OR 5172. I wonder is it possible to make any progress in the final round when everyone will have virtually the same team. 680 UAH go to charity.

This semifinal tie

In Serie A fantasy, I followed my strategy of always captaining Di Lorenzo and got a pretty good GW. 87 points, green arrow up to OR 629. The realistic goal should something like top-500 I guess. 870 UAH go to charity.

In FPL GW35, I played my AM chip on Crystal Palace, chasing the table bonus. It went reasonably OK. I got 63 points and a decent green arrow despite captaincy blank. Up to OR 1444239. The goal is to try to get a 6-digit rank - will be hard without doubles. 630 UAH go to charity.

66 points in UCL Fantasy this week, and a green arrow up to 6361. Decent enough. Only 2 GWs left. 660 UAH go to charity.

Terrifying to see.

Not a great GW in the Serie A fantasy. Captaincy blank, Yildiz red card against the weakest team in the league, but my bench is outstanding as usual 🙂 66 points all out, red arrow down to OR 704. 660 UAH go to charity.

Vasyl Mykhailovych Ivanchuk!!! Casually winning tournaments at the age of 56. What a legend.

In the Serie A fantasy I hyped up Goldaniga for the last couple of weeks, then he scores his first goal in 5 seasons, gets a CS and of course I bench him 😂 Despite all of this, I got 76 points and a green arrow up to OR 588. 760 UAH go to charity.

A decent week in FPL - 73 points without any chips and green arrow up to OR 2074203. Free hit next, AM either in 35 or 36 depending on schedule. 6-digit rank is still a possibility. 730 UAH go to charity.

Not the greatest gameweek in UCL fantasy for me with both of my captaincy choices blanking. 51 points and a red arrow down to OR 7963. Only 3 GWs left. 510 UAH go to charity.

I had a good GW32 in FPL. Semenyo pretty much saved my Bench Boost, but the true DGW star was Murphy, of course. 95 points and green arrow up to 2238663. Maybe a 6-digit rank still possible. 940 UAH go to charity.

I had a good GW in fantasy Serie A with a decent captaincy choice as well. 100+ points GW are always nice. 102 points all out and a green arrow up to OR 618my highest ranking so far. 1020 UAH go to charity

I know it’s selfish, but every time Russia attacks our cities, I remember what a great time I had in these cities. I used to travel to Sumy every year to participate on programming competitions and couldn’t even imagine these horrors. This can not be real, it’s just a nightmare.

Another barbaric Russian attack happened roughly 30 minutes ago. Two ballistic missiles targeted the central street of Sumy. I’ve seen some photos from the first responders, they are horrifying. A lot of people have tragically passed away, according to the city mayor.

Another good week in UCL fantasy. 88 points all out, and the team looks OK so far. Green arrow up to 6195. 880 UAH go to charity.

I had an OK week in Serie A fantasy. Scored 63 points despite captain blanking. Got a green arrow 870->844 OR. Need to double-up on Napoli and Fiorentina assets, and improve my defense. 630 UAH go to charity

I had a good FPL gameweek, feels a bit weird. Could’ve been a great GW, but Isak blanked. Anyway, 65 points and a decent green - inside top 3kk now! 650 UAH go to charity. Possibly a BB next week.

19 people were killed yesterday by Russia when they attacked a children playground in Kryvyi Rih yesterday. 9 of them were kids. The whole country mourns and cries. RIP to all of the victims. We will never forget or forgive. youtu.be/YHmYqs7L4KU?...

It’s quite telling that the US Amb to Ukraine fails to tell that the missile was Russian or to call for Russian war criminals to be punished. Nobody wants the war to end more than Ukrainians. We are the ones who are losing our people. But we also want justice.

Approximately an hour ago Russia struck a residential area with a ballistic missile in Kryvyi Rih. At least 12 people are killed, among them at least 2 are children. It’s heartbreaking. In a just world Russian war criminals should be punished, not negotiated with.

45 points and a red arrow on a wildcard. Can’t wait for this season to be over. 450 UAH go to charity.

🇺🇦 🤝 🇱🇹

I can’t wait for the next FPL season

Serie A fantasy returned last weekend. I got 78 points and a green arrow up to OR 870. Have 4 FTs as well, so ready to attack the rest of the season. 780 UAH go to charity.

The headline should be “Trump openly threatens Ukraine on the anniversary of the liberation of Bucha” www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

It’s quite wild that both Karjakin and Lagno represented Ukraine at some point
