Another poor week and red arrow. A good reminder recently of how silly this game is. Having rolled to 5FTs and then grabbed a truck of EV doing Emery, Sarr, Rogers, Bruno -> Arteta, Semenyo, Dango, Trossard across 25-26, I am currently 49 points down from those FTs. #FPL

GW27 - roll 2 FTs with 3.1m ITB. Whilst tempting to grab some dopamine/EV (e.g. Cunha/Bowen), particularly after my biggest negvar GW all time, I think this is strong enough to roll with most teams playing 2x ahead of GW28/BGW29 and so many options. Very easy captaincy. #FPL

GW26 - 56 points and a big red from 112k to 230k. No regrets having grabbed: -0.8 EV on Arteta over Glasner ~0.3 EV benching Munoz. ~0.1 EV captaining Trossard over Mo… …and losing 44 points from it. Got screwed benching JP/buying Dango by information withheld. #FPL

GW26. Rogers and Emery -> Dango and Arteta and roll a FT. A number of potential options of when and how to remove Ndiaye/Rogers and struggled to feel any conviction on any of them. Trossard C for some EV+ risk against the field. Need a big week this week. 112k 🌎 #FPL

GW25. 98 points. 127k - 112k. Small gains relative to expectation 🫤 Plenty to ponder going into this week. I need to do something with 2xFT available after AM transfer to move on Rogers/Ndiaye but waiting for info feels critical given planning to delay FH until 34. #FPL

GW25 - 3/5FTs used for Moyes, Sarr and Bruno -> Emery, Semenyo and Trossard. Just about landed on the conservative line of keeping Isak over grabbing Watkins. #FPL

GW24. Eze -> Rogers and David Moyes (1/5FT). 135k 🌎 Tight on the buy between Rogers or BOU MID. I think on balance Rogers is slightly EV- but sided with an extra week of info to decide which BOU MID (ie chip strategy) and a cheaper expected purchase price on Rogers. #FPL

GW23. 57 pts. 111k - 135k. All my shields did points and my swords did not (bar the three on the bench). Annus horribilis. Now to decide whether to move Sarr onto a Bournemouth MID or have a one week flirt with an Everton MID. Tough call whether to go tomorrow or wait. #FPL

GW23. Roll all four FTs before deciding whether to add a sixth DGW24 asset next week. Team good but so are rank exposures. 111k 🌎 #FPL

GW22 - 60. 159k - 111k. LIV finally cleaned and Ndiaye did a goal 🎉 (Wood 😴) Critics of analytics will say models lead to boring and homogenous play but he’s 0.0% owned in the field and had 0 ownership in the E1k until GW20 ✅ Plan to roll in 23 to 5FTs, DCL GW24 #FPL

GW22. Roll all 3 FTs as I bring a pen to this sword fight against Chris Wood. A few injury niggles prompted me to shift the armband and promote Ndiaye into the XI again. He’s playing more than I hoped he would but that’s why I like eight attacker structures. 160k 🌎 #FPL

GW21. 67 points. 143k-159k. Another really poor week with a red arrow in 21 and now an aggregate red arrow in the three weeks post WC. This week is the easiest roll of all time, hope to get luckier soon. PS thank you to a good friend for the +1 from Ndiaye over JP. #FPL

GW21. Øde to Bruno and roll the other 2 FTs. Thin move but Semenyo EV boost and delay in McNeil RTP means I think I’ll save a FT in the plan. Big blunder trusting the buffer on a potential Øde price drop last night which I’m really frustrated with myself about. 143k 🌎 #FPL

GW20 - 59 points and a red from 105k to 143k. Now shipped north of 30 pts from WC19 but we’ve seen it all before. Øde to Bruno tempts a bit but more likely to keep rolling all the way to GW23. Enjoy the week off and we’ll come back and begin planning a chip strategy. #FPL

GW20. Roll both FTs 🦦. Team/EV pretty average but the juice will come GW24-29. The way this normally goes is the first sub will wipe the starting defenders clean. 105k 🌎 #FPL

GW19 - 89 points. 150k-105k. Always disappointing to wildcard out some points first up (5) but a green is a green and 105k at the half way stage (TC used) is satisfactory. I plan to roll this all the way to 5FT in GW23 and only injuries/red cards can change this 🦦 #FPL

WC19. Learn as if you will live forever, live like you will die tomorrow. Very happy with this with the DGW/BGW ahead of us. Key decision ended up being Gabriel or not and landed just about on the former. Sarr over Semenyo is slightly greedy. 2FT, 0.0ITB, 150k 🌎 #FPL

GW18. 63 and a red arrow from 142k to 150k. Flekken injury and Gabriel sitter cost me about 15 points on the field tonight 😢 Into WC19 we go, which essentially consists of picking a budget mid, some defs and Alisson with one eye on DGW24/25 & BGW29. Wanted more chaos. #FPL

I think 0.1m of money saved by selling Raul and having 0.1m in both Isak and Rogers is better than having 0.1 in Ode and ~0.6 extra EV in GW18. #FPL

GW18 2 of 3 FTs used on the dead end for Saka + Raul -> Martinelli + Isak pre WC. Some cute assessment of forecast price moves, xMins and market data came into landing on this versus other viable lines (mainly involving Øde). 142k 🌎 Merry Christmas all - Isaiah 9:6 🎄 #FPL

GW17. 75 points. 107k - 142k. Silly GW. Very likely to move Saka on tonight and use the funds for another upgrade before GW18 deadline ahead of WC19. #FPL

GW17. Roll the FT to get to 3FT pre WC19. I’ll get tempted to grab some EV and team value next week I’m sure. #FPL

GW16. 45 points and a red arrow from 73k to 109k. My reward for rightfully applying some lower xMins on Porro/Isak to favour the TAA/Solanke line is -11 pts and 0.2m+ of WC19 budget loss. Porros 6 makes me sick. Plan is to roll until WC. Team good for 17 (double FUL) 🦦 #FPL

GW16. 1.5m on Porro - TAA with 1/2 FTs used. 75k, 0.0 ITB🌎 Same move as planned GW15 but for the postponement. I got really tempted to do Solanke - Isak instead as very close on EV and likely to generate a bit more TV for WC19 but Porro FUD swung it just. Team bad 🙏🏻 #FPL

GW15. 85 pts and a green from 240k - 70k. Small change compared to lots of friends in the Analytics space but we take it. Crucially as it stands no new injuries for the first GW since GW5 and it looks like points will save some price drops too. Likely Porro - TAA next. #FPL

Bruno Fernandes is a good #FPL asset

GW15 - ESR to Rogers (1/2). Blunder. Very tight EV for this initially with Porro - TAA vs ESR - Semenyo and Porro - Timber but committed to former on Thurs (+0.1m ESR sale) because of the value of the 0.1m discount on TAA pre WC19. Now lost both a rise and the EV. Grim. #FPL

GW14. 54 points and an overdue red arrow from 140k - 238k. A real honker of a GW for minutes, points and future EV. The Raul benching gives me a real headache with where to go next but as it stands I think I’ll sell ESR (maybe tonight) with 2FTs to get back to TAA. #FPL

GW14 - roll. 140k 🌍 Resisted temptation to protect value on top line by selling ESR to Semenyo/Kluivert/Rogers for more info. Combining my love for FFC and FPL using analytics has been special but the era of regular double ups likely ends this week with ESR over JP 🙏🏻 #FPL

GW13 - 81 points. 190k - 140k. The greedy-ish move to buy Saka pays off to an extent however not sure if I’ll now regret selling Bruno over Mbeumo for GW14-18. Aim is to roll this week with a view to making a move or two in GW15 to put the 1.2m spare cash down pre WC19. #FPL

GW13 - Bruno -> Saka (1/1FT) Preparations once again soured with yet another injury but this transfer still held up under stress testing of a Dunk benching once taking into the account the incoming Saka price rise tonight and blending market odds. 190k 🌍 & 1.2m ITB. #FPL

GW12 - 77 points. 390-179k. Third consecutive week where I’ve more than halved my rank as risen 2.1m to 179k. As it stands, I’ve also not picked up an injury to my starting XI for next GW for the first time since GW5 so hoping midweek fine. Lots of lines for GW13-18 🦦 #FPL

Hi all and thank you for following. GW12 - TAA to Gabriel with 1/1 FT. 390k 🌍. A frustrating one having contemplated going straight to Gabriel instead of TAA in GW11. A punishing EV hurt on Konsa too, but swerved a hit for a second Arsenal DEF at this stage. 9 injuries in 7 GWs - tough. #FPL

Bruno Fernandes is a good #FPL asset
