No regrets going with Palmer (C). The outcome wasn't ideal, but I still stand behind the decision making process. Now we sit back and see what the FA Cup has in store for us. 34k ——> 28k

Initially planned to roll this week, but the Bowen juice was too tempting. Ødegaard ——> Bowen (1/3) FTs 🪐 34k

Got mauled by AMs and by some skill issues, but alas. I was due a bad week. 16k ——> 34k

In the end I didn't think the options I had available were superior to Salah (C) so went down the safer/boring path. Rogers ——> Nwaneri (1/3) FTs 🪐 16k

Glad I went down the Watkins route in the end. Captaincy is going to be tricky this week. 18k ——> 16k

Ødegaard is a perplexing case. Highest EV currently for me in GW 26, but I'm not moved at all. I feel like there's better value at £8.2m and below, but FTs are so valuable + he plays in BGW 29. This is plan continuation bias at it's peak

Sold João Pedro for Mateta in GW 19 and my season changed for the better

Isak ——> Watkins Gakpo ——> Cunha (2/4) FTs 🪐 18k

AM 31-33

141 pts all out and the good fortune continues. I'm still undecided between AM 25/AM 36. Lots to ponder about before Friday, but I like the idea of saying the AM for 36-38 and ending the season with a chip. 33k ——> 18k

Just give Mohamed Salah the Ballon d'Or already

Oliver Glasner, you have revived me from the trenches. Mateta and Muñoz hauls are absolutely glorious

Rolling to 4 FTs + TC is on the undisputed goat of the game. 🪐 33k

Incroyable positive variance in the last few weeks. 72k ——> 33k

Wood ——> Gakpo (1/3) FTs 🪐 72k

Decent week and back-to-back green arrows for the boys. 109k ——> 72k

Jean-Philippe Mateta, take a bow son

Finally a decent week I can be chuffed about. Most likely rolling the FT again this week. 170k ——> 109k

Late update. It was another red arrow for me in GW 20 151k ——> 170k

Cunha ——> Wood for some Monday night footy excitement. (1/1) FTs 🪐 151k

I can't seem to break into the top 100k for weeks now. I've made some bad transfers in fairness, but hopefully things change soon. 133k ——> 151k

On the 19th of August 2024 when I began playing chess more seriously, I started off at 400-450 ELO. 4 months later and after some consistency I hit my new peak at 1161 ELO last night. The goal for the new year is to continue learning about this beautiful game 🪄
