FPL Giant

First post. Aiming for credibility. #fpl

My #fpl free hit comes down to this: A) Eze and Andersen B) Ekitike and MLS All thoughts welcome.

Electronic Steve concedes three, produces no attacking returns, and still matches Gabi, Timbre and Cali combined. Respect. #fpl

Ekitike isn’t the only palindrome in the Liverpool team. #Wirtz is, I’m sorry to say, looking like a dud.

Public service announcement: before this gameweek, nearly 500,000 managers sold JP – and just as many tore up their teams to bring in Haaland. #FPL

Rewatching last night, I can only assume Konate must’ve had Semenyo TC to boost his GW1 rank.

Deadliest Archer since Robin Hood #Cricket #Archer #England #India

Have you ever seen a young opening bat as good as Jaiswal? I haven’t.

I know it’s just a point. And yes, reaching only twelve is painfully inadequate. But in a season defined by relentless gloom, this brief glimmer reminds us exactly what joy feels like 😇 ❤️ #Saints

A few #fpl things to note: Deadline is 6 not 6.30. Bournemouth may have both centre backs out. Which is great for JP. But. Welbeck is well back.

#United managers are like Russian dolls: each time they get rid of one, they replace him with a near-identical figure that’s just a bit smaller.

Shorthand: Diaz -> Nwan. Longhand: I’ve gone for a future Balon D’or winner and taken out a player who looked like he couldn’t hit a barn door.

Alisson best 1v1 keeper of all time. If you take into account ability to play out, he’s the best of all time. Only Neuer comes close IMO.

Chelsea Arsenal United Three of the great English teams. Also three of the top-five spending teams on earth over the last five years. Zero top strikers among them.

The streets will never forget #AssMan

FWIW, I went Moyes for #AssMan chip cos of the extra doubler. GW24: We all have 6xdoublers either way. GW25: If Lpool lose in the Cup then Slot was the wrong pick because you’ve had him for two tough away games in 24. Even if Liverpool win I get their doublers plus Emery, Rodgers and Watkins.

#AssMan is active. Salah has the armband. Moyes is in the dugout. I’ve six people in the double. I’m 24k right now. I’ve no idea what is going on. #FPL

Here’s the thing, and as things go, it’s quite a thing. How can it be fair for a whole season of careful planning, research and graft to be undone by a chip no one knew existed halfway through the season, plus a double that only emerged a few hours before the deadline? #FPL #AssMan

AssMan 24-26 for five fixtures WC 30/31 BB either 33 or 36 Free hit 34 TC 33 or 36 👍 or 👎 #fpl

Could Gooner defence be this season’s biggest trap?

Totally deserved for Bournemouth. Nearly as dominant as my Saints were against United 😉

Rank 17k Mo with the armband and Isak the spare Timber and Rogers benched, which is a shame. Play well. Close to 99 rank over the last three years. A good week could see me make it!

Is Ange actually better than Russell Martin, or is he just working with better players?

Imagine captaining Isak yesterday and still missing the optimal armband choice. #Fpl

Taking into account his shot-stopping, presence, and ability to play out from the back, I reckon Alisson is the best Premier League goalkeeper we’ve seen. And it’s not even close.

I find it hard to understand how anyone could genuinely believe Ruud would be better than Cooper.

I keep convincing myself this will be the week City turn things around. But it never is.

Rank 25k RAN —> Robbo Play well

Has a manager ever been sacked at half time before? 😇💔 #Devastated

This is hard to watch 💔😇

As a football fan, I can’t believe that Forest goal wasn’t given. As a non-Wood owner, I think it was the right decision.

In a decade of playing the game, I’m not sure I’ve had a long term hold worse than RAN

Rank 16k Haaland and McNeal —> Isak and Saka Salah captain. (Lost sleep over that choice. Not joking. Which is embarrassing, isn’t it?) Good luck all. #FPL

Watching City. Walker is no longer such a good runner.

The tactics can wait, but the best strategy for the Assistant Manager chip? Late season. Pick a manager just above the drop with fixtures vs mid-table sides ‘on the beach.’ Relegation battlers thrive under pressure - complacent teams leak points. Desperation > apathy. #FPL #MysteryChip

Spurs’ pressing is thrilling to watch.

Erm, not sure what Sanchez was doing?

The real tragedy of Ashworth’s dismissal is that we’ll miss the spectacle of Southgate taking charge at United when Amorim is shown the door come summer.

#AshworthOut Jim is brutal.

Tears in my eyes. Weeks of doubt, silenced in a single, glorious moment. Faith rewarded. #Haaland #FPL

Rank 16k. Rolling. Time for Haaland to pay back my patience. Good luck all. #FPL

Rank 25k Mbeumo —> Bowen 🤖 (c) Play well all

Can’t recall seeing City this open

#Chelsea fast becoming a joy to watch.

Everyone picked the cheaper Wolves striker, right? #FPL

Great to see Wolves’ best striker scoring 😉

That’s a goal surely? #VARout

If Antony and Mudryk are 80+, who much is Dibbling worth?
