Bench jam to the rescue. 100k is always the target so just got to maintain a slow steady climb until the double gameweek fun.

Thank you Isak, benching nightmare resolved! 🤣🥳

Benching nightmare but here we go. Good luck everyone.

Transfers done. Now I can stop obsessing and focus on Valentines with my wife 😅 2 Free transfers: Gakpo -> Wissa Moyes -> Slot Could have gone Watkins for -4, could have gone Emery and swap Gordon to Kluivert. Decided against it. Good luck everyone!

Considered Watkins for a -4 (replacing Gakpo) but the fixture list for Villa over the next couple of weeks is crazy. No way he's playing every match. And No guarantee he even starts Ipswitch. Think I go Wissa for free instead.

1 million -> 800k -> 533k in three weeks. The season recovery is underway.

Who needs double gameweek players? 😂

Okoli ➡️ Myko. Moyes in. £0 left in the bank. Good to go. More than anything it just feels good to get the Ass Man chip out of the way. Got 2 free transfers for next week so can free up funds and swap managers.

So I came into this madness with exactly 0.5 in the bench and triple liverpool... guess I just get Moyes then 🤷‍♂️. Feels like it's on a plate.

Who would you bench, Rogers or Wood?

A decent enough gameweek. Next week target with the triple captain is 500k, though 700k is probably more realistic.

Benching decisions... Huijsen vs Robinson Rogers vs Mbeumo or Wood 🤔🤔

Raya > Sels Joao Pedro > Wood Feeling dangerously optimistic about this week.

🔼 Finally broken into the top 1m. A great gameweek, though I still wish I kept fernandez over Gordon- postponement fears forced the move, but it's a small thing 🤷‍♂️

Happy no bench week. Good luck to all...

Cunha -> Isak Saka -> Bruno The template moves. Could have gone differential and dipped in and out of players but I'm flying to Japan today so I didn't want to faff around 😅. Hopefully this should last me a few weeks.

I've only had 2 players play and it already feels like the red arrow is inked in 🫤

Rogers on bench... still time for cunha to get suspended? 😅

Cunha's potential ban - on the one hand I'm a Leicester fan so if he misses the weekend Ward might only let in 3 goals instead of 4 - on the other hand i have him in fpl and no free transfers left. Conflicted 😅

🔼 Continuing the slow climb back into the top 1m. Mbeumo the hero. Ait-Nouri gets the 🥾. I did wonder why I was bringing in a Wolves defender in the first place, should have trusted my instinct instead of the crowd 🤷‍♂️

Can't believe Mbuemo got me a last minute goal, stealing the 3 bonus, wiping the Chelsea clean sheet, and putting Jackson into bonus. Incredible 😂

If Leicester stay up it will be because of Hermansen. That 45mins without him was very telling.

Captaincy decision... I've never actually captained Salah yet this season. The man is in the form of his life and he's battered me time and time again. I'm not going to overthink it. Time for his rein of terror over my team to end.

My brother, sister in law and their nine year old son started playing FPL for the first time this year. None of them had much football knowledge before. They've been enjoying it so far & they're still going but I'm a bit worried that the complexity of the assistant manager chip will put them off 🫤

If Salah played this week I would have benched Mbeumo and not captained Palmer. It's pure luck, not going to deny 🤷‍♂️

The wind blows shut one door but opens another... Mykolenko (4.3) OUT Huijsen (4.3) IN Senesi is out long term so he should get minutes, good fixture run for Bournemouth, they regularly keep a below 1 xgc, plus Huijsen is known for goals. FPL hidden gem...

Considering bringing in Timber for RAN, but with Timber playing 90mins mid week I wonder if he could get a random benching 🤔 Plus Fulham are doing well and could score against Arsenal, whereas West Ham's defence is pretty bad so RAN might get an attacking return 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I save the transfer.

So tired of this terrible rank that I can't seem to shift. Myko bench points cost me (although I did get lucky with Rogers bench points)
