👏And just think how smug you’d have felt last night if you’d gone DCL…nice one!

More regrets! #FPL

Regrets! Regrets! #FPL

I don’t have any differentials…but I can recreate differentials in the aggregate!

Rolling.
Regretting it either way (Joao Pedro, Enzo, Muñoz…)
Captaining the ~150% EO Haaland and still benefitting from the ~60% EO Bruno.
No real differentials, no real way forward.

Brett Goldstein must have been raging at being passed over for a chance to punch him in the face.

I have the exact funds to get Joao Pedro in place of my 3rd striker (and bench Anderson for him).

I want to do it. But I shouldn’t.

Should I?

Here’s to nonsense providing a small light in the darkness. Love to you and yours, Moose.

😆

Ha! I just think his goal threat is being over-remembered…he’s got 4 total, and just because two of them were back to back in 19&20 doesn’t mean he - or Arsenal as a whole! - is going to keep that up till the end of the season…

He’ll be 7m, for sure. I think 7.5 would be pushing it based on how his goal threat isn’t the same as a flying fullback like Trent.

Obviously sad to hear a player is injured and out, etc, but I feel like in #FPL the past few years I’ve never lost when betting against Saka in my own team. For such a talented and exciting player, it’s a bit of an oddity.

Another week of mediocrity, another red arrow to what is approaching 3M OR. To be 9 points off a green arrow, it means there was no version of this team which was getting there. Now to consider whether I take another hit to get out of the mud, or stick where I am and pray? #FPL

So this is making me feel slightly better (with thanks as always to the excellent @livefpl.net)…

…until I remember that my auto sub for Saka would have been Anderson’s 7 pointer out of nothing.

Remind me what the point of having a strong 8th attacker on my bench is again?

😬
It was finding out that he got an offside goal ruled out early on that tipped me over the edge.

I could have kept Ekitike (13). I could have moved him to Joao (10). Could have gone down to Kroupi Jr (7).

But what did so do instead?

I went to Mané (2).
🙃

I sold Saka for Bruno F this week. Surely this isn’t the turn in my luck beginning? 🤔 #FPL

Here we go - Gabriel makes a return, and here’s hoping it’s good news of great joy for all my #FPL team.
Ekitike, Saka, Dorgu ➡️ Mané, Bruno F, Gabriel (-4)
🧢🇳🇴🤖
Good luck all…I’m going to need it 😬🤔🙃

Spoiler: my cash cow Ekitike let me get him and Gabriel for a -4 this week.

#FPL

Strikers: rubbish.
Arsenal: rubbish.
Choice of subs: rubbish, given they scored 18 between them.
Everyone else: passable.
And on we go, making very little progress, but also having fu-no, wait, not really having fun either 🤷🏻‍♂️

How are you planning on negotiating the blanks and doubles later if you wildcard now? 🤔

I spent a lot of this week thinking about doing Saka to Bruno, but decided to play the fixture and wait a week. It’s cost me £0.2m so far, but it’s ok as my cash cow Ekitike will let me get him and Gabriel for a -4 this week instead.

Missed the leaks about Man City 😬 Not even sure who my vice was…ah. Not great, that.

Sometimes a decision you didn’t even know you were making in #FPL goes your way 🤷🏻‍♂️ Guehi gets a transfer, so I get a Dorgu 15 point auto sub.

I mean, the rest of my team didn’t help my OR much, but you can’t have it all right?

I could roll, I could make 1 massive gamble transfer, I could take a hit. What to do… #FPL

The wave of generative AI CEOs complaining people don't use their products is kind of disgusting. You pushed something the marketplace is rejecting and now you whine about it. What kind of capitalist are you? Oh, that's right, the deeply parasitical yet incompetent at convincing the host kind.

This is a huge crisis that we must do our part on by rejecting generative AI. The more it infiltrates our systems, the more fucked we are over time.
