Only once!?

So, amusingly, here in Kazakhstan, Harry Potter is pronounced "Gary Potter". Not sure why this delights me though...

Will transfer in Timber before the deadline, I think.

I would imagine if you use the website it'd be fine. I don't use the app as it's too glitchy.

Interesting to get the update. Have you tried adding up all your players' values to double check its accuracy now?

Having a high xGI and not many returns could otherwise be described as not being a good finisher, so I'm avoiding currently.

My guess then would be that on the left is just not updated. But outside of that, I'm clueless.

Oh wow. I clearly can't add... You're right. That's odd!

The pic on the right shows what I call your True Value whereas in the left is better described as squad value plus in the bank. I don't have a catchy phrase for that though.

It's because when you 'transfer' out players, you lose half of the profit. For example, if you bought Haaland at 14.0 and his value rose to 14.4, when you sell him, you get 14.2. if he was 14.5, you'd still only sell him for 14.4 though for rounding down reasons.

Perhaps the mansion tax could be for those who own more than one home. That way, it might encourage those people to sell, freeing up more properties around the country without forcing people out of their own homes.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Big fan of you and your excellentshow, but as I live abroad, I miss out on interacting live, so for each of your hourly topics, could you start a bsky post people like me can respond to?

Listening on catch-up, at the 40 minute mark, the lady calling in, she really got to me. She speaks for so many and her anger is righteous.

GW9 score looked better before VDV turned a green to a red. Plans: Gyok to Guiu, Alderete to Timber, and Anthony to Mbeumo. Doku starts one more week by virtue of it being his turn to start next week ๐ŸคžWaiting on cup games before pulling the trigger.

Might be worth getting Guiu in as a cheeky benchvestment and make a quick 0.2 from those thinking the exact same thing, then sell him for the .1 profit before delap returns...

It depends on if you already have 5 frees and would be burning one if you didn't, but yeah, annoying timing!

Me too. I don't think the challenge is for me.

Did you do well in the end?

That'd be, to me, like living with spiders dangling from my ceiling in every room and just not looking up and trying to put it out of my mind. Or trying to ignore climate change, for that matter. So, I suppose you just get numb to not looking up ..

24.10.2025 14:10 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Same regarding gw1. Though much of my insisting I was BBing then was to play mind games with my mates. It was still a sound strategy even if it would have crashed. If you're traveling, you could try the 'Match if the Day / highlights' challenge instead...

For me, this combined with Guiu's increase in minutes would force me to wait two more weeks to decide on Enzo.

24.10.2025 10:46 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Great bb AND it seems waiting on Enzo is advisable due to possibility of repositioning due to Guiu/Delap.

24.10.2025 10:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Eminently. Do it and don't look back. BB is like a plaster that you just have to rip off, but this does look very good

That was glorious, Mr. Mamdani, sir. If the world could seek out more people like you to run it, we'd not be in the messes we're in.

Are you allowed to splash it onto a grass verge, a bush, the pavement, a puddle? What if you drop it accidentally? What about if you're a water company and just dump any old shit into the rivers?

23.10.2025 03:22 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'd pick Enzo but only if he were not going to be pushed deeper with Guiu emerging. I'm looking to get him in for this gw but am slightly concerned.

The same thing he's doing to democracy.
