No Glasner. No Mateta. No Kluivert. Ignored Nkunku/ Neto. Sold Rogers.

Wrong end of an AM table bonus swing. I guess I hate the chip now

As someone with Vito Pereira AM, I don't begrudge anyone that went Glasner AM GW25... but the late Villa goal vs. Chelsea to turn GW26 into a Palace table bonus game I'm a little salty about

6.8m for a midfield "punt" for a few GWs. Current thinking: • Mitoma - smart play • Kudus - fun play • Nkunku/ Neto - mad play Who ya taking?

GW26. Thinking I might win FPL this year

Vitoria Pereira you lovely, lovely man. I won't hear a bad word about the Assistant Manager chip - great addition, haha!

GW26. Ndiaye > Cunha yesterday to catch price rises that didn't happen - can't find a spot for him in my XI, though. Did something a little crazy with one minute to deadline - Emery > Pereira. Immediate regret...

First time I've ever celebrated a Connor McDavid goal

Transferred in Alisson for Raya GW23. Raya has outscored Alisson by 3pts in 2 less games and now I have no GK for BGW29. Quality stuff from me 👍

Cheeky little green arrow for DGW25. Feel simultaneously pleased and also slightly disappointed at Emery AM, which is weird. Initial thoughts for GW26 are to hold Emery and fix Ndiaye (to probably Cunha). Tempted to go today due to potential imminent price changes, but info > £ so will likely wait

Every UCL round I see people post about Champions League Fantasy and I just scroll on by, feeling nothing - because I don't play. Then I imagine what that would be like for FPL. Bliss, probably!

Basically going to be hoping for a 0-0 in the Pool vs. Villa game tomorrow. That'll be a fun watch.

Commentary banging on about Man United academy bench - they don't have that many injuries to complain about - that's just bad recruitment 🤷‍♂️

Another gameweek, another late double gameweek curveball from FPL! In the end, sticking with the plan to AM this week. Feel like there's good potential for using ~GW30-33 but also unclear on my future chip strategy and don't want to lock in a 3 week chip when it might be better to WC/BB/FH

DGW24 (finally over!). Pretty damn good gameweek. Munoz bench points still hurt a little though, sorry! Congrats to those that went Moyes, Beto and/or Tarko 👏

The problem with using the Villa vs. Spurs FA Cup match as a yardstick to measure Villa assets ahead of DGW25 is that Spurs make *every* team they play look class

Anyone else get irrationally annoyed when popular FPL content creators regularly post on the other site, but only drop the occasional post in bluesky and then disappear for days? Seems a little disrespectful. Either pick one and post exclusively there, or post the same output on both sites

My Chip strategy - not that anyone cares - will probably be: • AM - DGW25-27 • FT's and sticky-tape to field 10/ 11 BGW29 (no City likely to be the main sacrifice) • FH - DGW33/36 • BB - DGW33/36 • WC - ?

It's interesting that so many people are offering advice on how to play the AM chip (mainly on Twitter), when: 1. We don't fully know future fixtures 2. We don't know what teams will be in what position in future GWs 3. It's a new chip, so what makes them experts on how/ when it should be played

Considering I had planned to sell Rogers GW26, I probably shouldn't hurry to bring in a second Villa player. Sometimes (often, in fact) doing nothing is the right move

Liverpool through then. How bloody boring

Literally just scraped into the 💯 club thanks to a random additional bonus for weekend hero Iliman Ndiaye. Hoped for more than 3pts from Mbeumo & Rogers combined and have Munoz sitting on my bench, but gotta be happy with the GW so far

Probably a minority opinion but I still like the addition of the Assistant Manager chip - added some much-needed variation in strategy. Also don't understand the argument it's "too powerful" - as we all have the same chip to use how we choose

Is 97pts so far any good...??
