Yeah, that makes sense. I’ll have to do the same

Saka > Bowen; Saka’s injury forced the transfer, but in hindsight, it helps since he has been on a low-scoring run for a few weeks AND my aim is to bring Haaland back into the team
Easy captaincy decision
Good luck all

🧢 CAP Salah
Cunha > Jackson; Cunha will get a ban, but it seems me going so early in the transfer might not have been the best move (he could start today vs Leicester!)
Alt-Nouri > Huijsen (another ban situation)
The captaincy was between Salah and Palmer

Captaincy was a choice between Palmer and Salah. Brentford has a poor away record, which led me to choose Palmer. However, Fulham are without Bassey and Andersen, so Salah is definitely a good option too

Made no changes and Palmer as Captain ended up being the correct choice.
2 Wolves left to play who can hopefully push me above 60 PTS #FPLcommunity

Can’t use injuries or any other factors as an excuse tonight. Spurs played against a team that closely mirrors their own playing style and, from the 60th minute onward, were completely dominated while contributing nothing to the game. This reflects poorly on Ange and Tottenham

I'm not one to tell people how to support their own club; everyone is entitled to different levels of expectations, but I have become quite surprised with the sheer negativity of our season so far, BY OUR FANS!
I've got a lot to say and will post it on Twitter after the next game

Yeah, the performance definitely was not up to par, but I just find it hard to blame the players or coach for that match.
Maybe I'm being too lenient, but we just could not field a diverse enough team from a profile aspect. I got a lot to say which i'll post in due time. Maybe during the next game

Spurs’ were unfortunate with the absences and not only the Defenders/GK
Losing two of your direct wide players (Odobert, Moore) AND needing to put your other option (Son) upfront, as you’re missing both of your out-and-out strikers. Means it just becomes a back-and-forth with no control.

I've been dropping further and further down the ranking, so decided i needed to take my first PTS hit of the season.
Palmer as captain for the Southampton fixture is the way to go

Haaland > Cunha
I’ve finally done it. I have removed Haaland out of my team, AND before his price dropped to 15.1M (now 15M)
No extra FT in the bank, and with Konate unavailable, it'll be just my luck to see Haaland score 2 or more goals #FPL

Great result

Give Kulusevski freedom, and you’ll see him shine, just like he has all season. This was a big result and a much-needed 3 points.
We have work to do, but we are under the right coach to get it done. This team will get better and the numbers have shown it all season #COYS

Solanke > Isak

Yes I could have been patient with Wood facing Ipswich next week, but decided to go now to avoid a Isak price rise and for the current GW
I couldn't bring myself to remove Haaland from my team. #FPLcommunity #FPL

I'm a big fan of the presentation of the data; it looks great

It’s something I think most people should consider doing. It doesn’t even need to be as detailed as mine—just jot it down in a notes app on your phone. Even if it’s something small, like tracking how many matches you watch from a particular league or team, or noting how often a player is MOTM
comment in response to

For each matchday, I keep more detailed notes based on some of the games I’ve watched. For example, I mentioned how I felt Man Utd's press seemed more effective with Mason Mount on the pitch in MD 1
My aim in noting this was to assess whether it could be a genuine solution to an ongoing issue.

Following Feeds 🚶
I still need to use the Sky Follower Bridge again, as I’m certain more mutuals have joined this platform. However, a great way to discover your communities is through feeds. Here are two great feeds created by @liamhenshaw.com

A great tool to help you find your mutuals is using the "Sky Follower Bridge" extension. Simply download the extension on your web browser, go to your Twitter (X) following list, and activate the extension.
It won't be 100% accurate, but it is a great starting point (2/2)

Finding Mutuals 🤝
The vast majority of people joining here will likely be coming from Twitter and may still be using it. One reason for this is the challenge of reconnecting with mutuals, especially if you had a rather large following list, which can make the process tricky (1/2)

Lockdown during the pandemic. It got me right back into gaming

Wait on the TAA injury news, could do plenty of changes if he’s not ready for the next GW
Now could even be a time to replace Haaland (temporary), especially since he could reach 15.1M by the time the next game week starts. Could add Palmer into midfield, with Haaland playing Spurs and Liverpool

Glad the FPL community is growing on here 🫡

Given the number of teams facing each other in my lineup (Dom v Haaland/Gvardiol- Gabriel v Wood), it's likely that I will need to make a significant transfer at this stage
Considering removing Haaland before his price drops to 15.1M.
it’ll be Isak/Palmer in - Haaland/Rogers out (if I do it)

I just finished episode one, and it’s a brilliant start. However, based on that, no, you don’t need to.
