FPLJoelinton

The 24/25 season was historic for #NUFC. Howe turned a rough summer into our first major domestic 🏆 in 70 years—and UCL qualification.

But success brings expectation. With PSR easing & more games in 25/26, fans & Howe expect investment.

But who to buy? Welcome to my third annual Summer Transfer 🧵

I've had norovirus twice in the last 2 years.

- Boxing Day 2023 - Chris Wood bangs a hat trick against Newcastle

- Today - Villa rightfully absolutely batter us and i have a bench boost that consists of Dan Burn, Wan Bissaka and Isak.

Time to pack it in.

My life is infinitely happier without FPL i have decided.

Been a disaster all season in prepping for blanks and doubles. Had Cunha who got suspended, got Haaland back early who is now very doubtful, Sold Salah over Palmer as there was no news of his injury. All this means is wildcard time.

Some interesting stats on Goals vs the traditional top 6 all comps for current club.

🔹️Isak: 32 games, 19 goals and 1 assist
🔹️Haaland (replacing City with Newcastle as reference): 33 games, 19 goals and 8 assists

Isak is class is my takeaway.

-8 gets me here, solid enough team for 29 and 30. Then WC.

The temptation is really there to WC early, save the point hits and get a stronger 29 and 30 team but the uncertainty on FA and Intl break could be too large.

Do like your pragmatism and probs correct way to approach it.

3 keeps Isak and Salah yeah i believe. Palmer Trent and Ndiaye for Neco, Kluivert and Haaland.

Endless options with this severely below par team. Cunha/ Dango/ Trent and Ndiaye really screwed me.

1ft with 2.3m in the bank

1 - Palmer and Isak to Kluivert and Haaland (-4)

2 - Salah and Ndiaye to Haaland and Kluivert (-4)

3 - minus 8 and sell TAA

4- Wildcard baby

Thoughts?

Popes kicking makes me want to rip my eyes out.

Was just thinking this was the easiest double clean of the season. United have absolutely nothing. Raya really has to have a look at himself there.

100% chasing this season. Marmoush just doesn't quite convince me yet from fpl perspective but could be a nice punt

Yeah not a bad option at all. May get Wood in early vs City to cover any benching or resting of Isak/Salah/Trent.

Yeah strongly considering Wood in. Maybe Wissa or Beto for a hit. Or Dango to Nkunku but that's very 1 week vibes.

What would the good people of bluesky do with this? No FH to be used was the plan but Ndiaye, Cunha and Dango could hurt that. 1 ft with 1m in the bank.

Left winger suspended, Left Back injured, Preferred Left Centre Back injured. Salah/Trent/Szlob gonna have a field day.

Hall out for the foreseeable, Gordon suspended, Botman consistently doubtful, Isak ran into the ground. Cup final is gonna be nasty sadly.

Ahh UK train prices have gone up again. And my usual train is still delayed with no seats available.

It's a clear red tbh. Hands to face is always a red. Annoyingly I actually think he tries to push him in the back and over but he's bent so low he has got him in the face.

Would be pretty surprised if Newcastle don't back to the Joelinton Willock LCM LW combo with Gordon out. Not sure Howe really rates Barnes.

Depends if we end up losing some of the key players with no UCL next season. Can spend a lot but a lot riding on it if we lose Bruno or Isak for example.

That honestly couldn't have gone worse. Out a very winnable cup, Gordon out the cup final, Hall injured, Isak injured potentially. 120 mins in the legs. Horrific.

Doesn't excuse the defending but defenders walking 20 yards before taking a throw fucking infuriates me.

Had Strand Larsen most the season. Cunha shit on him every week with 0.01xG goals. Finally get Cunha 2 weeks ago. Now he is suspended for the crucial period required 🫠🫠🫠

We got a get out of jail free card there.

Selfishly am glad he blanked for once in his life 😂

Everyone getting Pedro, Kluivert or Rogers off the bench. Got fucking Mykolenko to come on 🫠

As a Newcastle fan and Palmer captainer. Tonight has the potential to be pretty dismal 😂

Own:
Cunha blank, Castagne blank, Palmer blank*, Dango blank.

Do not own:
Rogers goal, Watkins assist, Munoz assist, Mateta goal, Kluivert goal, Pedro goal.

It hasn't gone great.

This is turning into an all timer stink fest.
