If I'd just backed my own bloody judgement, I would have had a 31-point bench boost right now. Shed level: 📈

BENCH BOOST TIME! 🤔 Tarko OUT 😱 2 Transfers + Long Term Plan 🎯 GW7 Team Selection 📝 Watch: youtu.be/Dw5sN-c2b10 It feels like the best time to activate another chip. 🎯 Tarko out makes sense 🎯 DCL could go 🎯 Surprise Replacements 🎯 Long-term strategy deep dive

Two transfers made: Thiaw ➡️ Hall Sangare ➡️ Barnes One transfer rolled. Couldn't resist the siren call of that Newcastle left flank, not after @alexvollo.bsky.social's thread the other day. Haaland captain because I think Man City beat Liverpool. Think DCL is actually second bench.

FOUR Huge Decisions 🤔 3 Free Transfers = 5 Great Gameweeks? 🎯 GW6 Team Selection 📝 Watch: youtu.be/o6lK1pWile8 After the long break, it is time to make decisions: 🎯 Fixtures & Long-Term View 🎯 Palmer vs Saka 🎯 Thiaw vs Hall 🎯 Sangare Replacement 🎯 GW6 Team

🤜 F I X T U R E C R U S H 🤛 GW6 — GW9 💚 5+ full days recovery between matches 💚 4 days 💛 3 days 😳 ❤️ 2 days🥴 #FixtureCrushMatrix #WeAreHere #FPL #GW6

In the end, I chose to roll. No transfer. No MGW. Haaland captain. OR: 178k. Ultimately, I am still retraining my mind into a new way of playing. Part of it is letting great options (like MGW) go sometimes and trusting a plan. Not easy, but engaging with risk never is.

95 points. Shame about Muharemovic losing his CS & DCL downgrade to an assist, but I've had more than my share of luck so far, so no complaints. The GW I feared the most, and I've beaten the FH draft I declined and risen to 158k, with FH, BB & WC still to play. Feel very lucky.

Penalty Pain - Huge Swings 😞 Budget Szoboszlai Slayers 🔥 Fighting To Survive 😥 GW4 Reaction Watch: youtu.be/IKmFJ6DZzOc 🎯 Do penalties need nerfing? 🎯 Szoboszlai is a bad pick 🎯 Emotions: Celebration or gloating? 🎯 Early transfer plans 🎯 No Haaland won't work for me

The wrestling based line about Sboz advocates being good managers but not great managers is already my favourite content of the week .

More price rises missed. Still not made a transfer. Still not hit the Free Hit button. Still completely undecided. The thing they never tell you about staying calm in FPL is that it is all a facade. Doing things is easy. It takes an awful lot of effort and energy to stay calm.

The Hardest Choice Of The Season. I'm Terrified Of Getting It Wrong 😭🚨😨 Watch: youtu.be/iYnAlPtGwzo I thought my strategy was brilliant, but now the reality is here. The fear of making the decision is paralyzing me. Is Cole Palmer worth tearing up a team?

Not a bad week, not a great week, without the OG it would've been par. Solid, if unspectacular start, but still got WC, FH & BB, and in a good position to build from. Twice in three weeks I've got DEF rotation wrong. Might be time to switch Ballard & Thiaw to Konsa & Calafiori.

Tonight, I am officially in the top 100 #fpl managers in the world, where I belong, they say. They do. My entire team has played already, so the chances are this will be the highest rank of my season and my lifetime. What a beautiful game. 🪿
