FPL Shōgun

Bad transfers. Awful outcomes. Just grateful I at least had Konsa and Joao Pedro captain. If you had a stinker shrug it off and move on. Lot’s of ‘pros’ at this game did as well.

Glad I stayed up on hols to watch Cherki 0-pointer and Manzambi 1-pointer. Then the news of Calafiori bench and that some big players are missing in the Chelsea-Spurs game. There goes a good nights sleep. 😴😅

GW8 🔒 37k 🌎 Szobo > Manzambi 🤕 Wissa > DCL 🤕 Yeah, don’t move early guys 😄 Also spent too long on Cherki to Mbuemo/Tav/MGW. He stays for now. Joao Pedro 🧢 Haaland vs Away/Emery/Ghandi/FPL Olympian. JP has 9, 12, 12 in his last 3 home games. Scored winner last season. Good luck all!

Small red, which I’ll take. Played too cautious with not going Manzambi>Szobo. Already corrected that 😄 Will weigh up Wissa>DCL. Surely even he scores v Palace. Wanted to wait to see what others stuck their hand up. Leeds tend to only score a goal in a game. Evanilson/Jackson are the other two.

Note to self. Be less measured.

GW7 🔒 32k 🌎 Rolling to 4FTs. Trying to be a bit more measured this season with transfers. Would have loved to have done Manzambi > Szobo to bench Hall but 2 weeks with more info was more valuable I felt. Saw the Cherki bench rumours, if he is so be it. Good luck all!

Might roll again to 4fts. Newcastle home, very different to Newcastle away. Palace after also. No-one needs to defo go right?

Up to 32k! Best start in a while. Only Free Hit left though to caveat it. Feels strange, no real differentials have come off to account for it. Just the fortunate mix of the templatey players. Sad seeing most my players over 50% owned, but they do the points 🤷🏻‍♂️

GW6 🔒 60k 🌎 So many doubts and noise around this week, just left on my hols and left my team with this. Konsa v Szobo was my only dilemma and capo, Palmer v Haaland. Let’s see the way lady luck swings. Good luck all!

Brobbey hammy now. Hold your transfers guys!!

Havertz going off. Hammy. Unlucky Saka owners. 😔

So this is how I found out Jack Butland is still playing in the Prem.

Was trying to find a way to bring in MGW+Barry. Was gonna take a -4 for Cherki & JP, meaning no Gross. Just rolled. So +14 up not doing it. MGW is a good move for those that went there, I just got lucky. Long my that continue. 😄

GW5 🔒 98k 🌎 Really wanted MGW for Cherki. Decided to hold, would have been a -4 with other moves. Haaland 🧢 He blanked at home to Sunderland last time 😬 Cherki braced though and Szobo scored away at Bournemouth. Hoping for repeats🤞🏻 Good luck all!

GW4 O’Reilly 👉 Konsa Sangare 👉 Rogers 3x 🧢 🥶 Heavy heart letting O’Reilly go. A lot hinges on an Arsenal clean and a Chelsea goalfest. Good luck all!

Bad week. Not a great start to a wildcard. No transfers tonight. Will let Rogers rise for more info. Real shame on Nico back 😔

GW3 🚾 Hastely pulled the trigger. It’s a mistake I feel, but i’ll own it. Just hope I get fortunate enough to get away with it. Went De Cuyper over Konsa, chasing the upside. A lot of upside chasing picks, let’s see how it pans out. Good luck all!!

Being looking at captaincy. Deciding whether to force Saka in on WC. GW6 he has Leeds, Haaland has Liverpool away. Haaland got a goal + assist at Anfield last season. This Liverpool team appears to be even more open. Making me feel I might skip Bukayo on WC 🤔

Thank god I kneejerked and sold Bruno yesterday. I couldn’t bear to part with him today.

GW1 - 74 pts Okay start, played it very safe, wasn’t sure on strategy at the start of the season. I’m open to WC despite having Haaland in GW3 or GW4. Been quite a few tempting GW1 auditions.

GW1 🔒 Cowardly, middle of road squad 🙌 Set piece taker, Arsenal defenders + Joao Pedro 🥱 Envy the no Haalanders, let’s see how it works out come GW. Le Fee > Ballard 💦 Make my GW!! Good luck everyone!

Gambles didn’t pay-off, was worth a swing. Salah freekick hits the post and goes in instead of out & I probably make Top 50k. The hit to bring in Marmoush was the kicker. Very happy with season. Enjoyed interacting with folks. Enjoy 3 months of not caring about anything to do with this game! ✌️

Gambles have been taken 😂 Everyone please enjoy planning meticulously for 37 weeks and scrambling on wildpicks within seconds taking hits. Saka 👉 Salah 👑 Haaland 👉 Richarlson Stach 👉 Marmoush (-4) May the lord have mercy on our souls

8pt bench boost 🫠 But up to 55k 🌎👌 It’s gonna be wild next week, 2FTs and no plans 😄 Who you are thinking of punting on?

As Saka captainer with Gabriel and Saliba, I’ll certainly take that! 😗 Terrible game, it was unlikely this Arsenal team were gonna blow Burnley away, got lucky with Bukayo cap.

I reckon Gyokeres will still be the top points in this game.

Is…is…Saka on pens then?

Was smiling last week when I made these moves 😒

GW36 🔒 98k 🌎 Virgil 👉 Hill Dango 👉 Saka Wilson 👉 Cherki 🇳🇴 🍖 🧢 Good luck everyone and to all those that DEFCON!

GW37 🌎 71k Final chip in play 🪑🚀 Not expecting much from it. Rolling my transfer in case the league is over come GW38. Not sure on captaincy. Probably ⭐️boy. Good luck everyone!

I’ll take the fortune this week with no chip in play! Best GW score of the season! Defence did all the heavy lifting Gracias Pep for benching NOR and Haaland TC!!

Let’s go defence! 🧱

Saliba with a 4 point booking! 😭

Dreamland!!! 🙌🥹

Hill one short of DEFCON

GW36 🔒 98k 🌎 Virgil 👉 Hill Dango 👉 Saka Wilson 👉 Cherki 🇳🇴 🍖 🧢 Good luck everyone and to all those that DEFCON!

Went early for GW36. Had exact funds and Saka was rising. 3FTs done. Temptation too great for an old school Saka, even with limited mins. Need a baller for the DGW and Hill to DEFCON glory. BB37 will be bang average, but maybe I can get lucky. Enjoy the last few games folks!

Hey Ma! I’m finally in the top 100k

Glad I played my fortune chip this week! 🙌

My mini-league pretty much rests on Brentford keeping a cleansheet. West Ham hitting the woodwork 3 times. Hoping I stay blessed! 😅

Reading the live text of Brentford - West Ham, ‘this game could be 5-5’ the reality…

Stach starts!!

GW35 - 130k Rollin and praying Stach starts! Good luck everyone!

Disappointed with tonight as Dango and Thiago could and should have gone big. But I’ll a take a grey without any chips. Hope to roll this week. Let’s see what the doubles throw up!

It’s rare that all your moves pay off so I’ll allow myself a low key fist pump

GW34 - 135k 🌎 No 🍟 Ekitike > Bowen Thiaw > Saliba Gordon > Dewsbury-Hall May the gods be in your favour!

It’s not season over without Gross, but a Brighton cleansheet on top of it might be 😅

The only spicy differential on FH 😔 🌶️ Already 7 points down on not going Gross 🤮

FH33 - 98k 🌎 On hols, so not really planned. 🥱 FH - Gomez the only spice. Good luck all!

Finally into the top 100k! Got my first bench jam of the season 😅 Rolled, was gonna do Ekitike > Bowen. If I did I’d be down a point + a transfer 😄 FH33 hoping matches BB.
