GW26: Bad. In an annoying way. In a "if I'd just played Munoz and rolled AM on Slot I'd be looking at a big green arrow and an extra FT" way. Plus Bournemouth + Arsenal both choose the game I'm relying on them in to get red cards.

Double Arsenal def Arteta AM Double Bournemouth mid Benched Muñoz Benched Pedro No Mateta, no Cunha. Wood hasn't even played yet. I am bad at FPL.

Locked in for GW26: Slot > Arteta, Rogers > Semenyo. Thought about holding Slot, but considering the number of questions I've heard about taking hits for an AM, I figured I must be in a pretty decent position for FTs. (c) Salah because no obvious alternative.

GW25: 100 points bang on, maybe not the roaring success I wanted in a DGW with a chip but it's a 30k green arrow so I'll take it.

Rogers to Nwaneri seems pretty much locked in, if nothing else.

(D)GW25 locked in. Sarr > Outtara. Isak to Watkins was a close call but as usual, if in doubt I try to save the transfer.

DGW24 is finally over, 118 points, red arrow, not quite the plan after playing that chip. Fair to say Moyes AMers and Salah TCers won that one. Playing patiently but could do with a few cards falling my way now.

If anyone asks, this was a genius move, but actually he was supposed to be on the bench and I didn't save the final version of my team...

GW24: Dice rolled. Allison / Eze > Pickford / Rogers, AM Slot. Thought long and hard about it and decided that I just didn't want to take the risky bonus-chasing AM options. Had 4FT so was in a strong position to rearrange.

Wow, that was a lot of time and energy I spent yesterday evening going over all the options and permutations before coming to the conclusion that it's a toss-up.

GW23: 61pts, 10k red arrow so still in the mix. Mbeumo and Munoz rescued my rank from falling further after the Raya > Allison move got off to a bad start. No idea right now if I get any Everton for GW24.

I can't pretend I was ever going to get Gakpo as the only sellable striker I have was Raul. But the Liv clean sheet wipeout still hurt.

GW23 locked, Raya > Allison and rolling the other 3 FTs. Considered some double transfers but I want those FTs banked. Salah (c) obviously. Munoz over Timber so going from triple to single Arsenal defence which feels a bit odd, but can't ignore Munoz attacking threat.

GW22: 40 points, 🔻down from 101k to 139k. Had the best captain of the Big Three! But once again hit round the head with a plank of Wood, 3xArs defence failed. But 4 FTs in hand as we approach DGW24 etc. Pretty happy with where I am.

I have gone from a 30% green to a 12% red in 45 minutes. With only Palmer to play, on 106% EO. Best I can realistically hope for is for Aina's CS to get wiped. Really annoying order of matches for me this weekend.

Rolling again into GW22. Couple of tricky bench decisions but decided JP v mun was not as tempting a fixture as some suggested. Salah captain, where it will remain for some time.

GW21: 64 points and and back out of the top thanks to tonight's Amadness. Palace trident keeps me afloat. And Isak and JP seem to be OK so I should be able to keep rolling the transfers in preparation for chip season.

GW21, rolling. Captain Palmer, bench JP. Rank: 78k

GW20 done and dusted and I'm at a five-figure rank despite Chris Wood's best efforts. Fair to say I'm riding my luck with Mbeumo. Pedro bench points unavoidable really given the fixtures. Very likely another roll unless major injury news.

Joao Pedro wiping out my double Arsenal cs from my bench was always a fairly predictable outcome.

GW20. Rolling. Timber suspension saves me a benching headache. Review thinks Pedro is better than Sarr but I am respectively begging to differ.

GW19, 90pts and another solid green arrow. The only Palace asset who did anything was the one I already have, but I like having all three of them over the next few gameweeks. Firmly intend to roll until GW23 at the earliest.

GW19. Dunk > Muñoz, Enzo > Sarr. Salah (c). Now to roll for most of January.

GW18, and 4 clean sheets today takes me to 167k assuming bonuses are correct. #defenderscanbedifferentialstoo and so on. Now to hit the Palace fixture swing.

Team for Boxing Day. Transfer rolled. Put armband on Salah after 3.4 seconds of deep thought. Mildly smug about not having to spend a FT or 2 on replacing Saka, but only mildly so that definitely can't bite me on the arse.

GW17, 81 points and a grey arrow. Salah, Isak, and a couple of defender assists keeping me in the mix. But this was a week where Cunha, Semenyo, and Rogers were in the points while Enzo Raul Mbeumo and Pedro did nothing.
