There is always one random player that ends up in everybody’s teams on social media for the first game, it was Neto a few seasons ago, Muniz last year, and Ndiaye this year. It’ll just take a couple of blanks and he’ll be mass sold, it’ll just take one content creator to do it

Looking forward to doing this from the start this year - get in early on some bargains before they start rising in price!

Nobody knew, lots of them probably don’t know what Autism is. Don’t let it spoil your enjoyment of the journey you are on and please keep sharing - the more people that share their story, the more interesting the world becomes.

Just move to a different country. You’ve got a couple of weeks to sort something, Solomon Islands maybe?

I binged it in 2 days, loved it

The hacker managed to pick a couple of players that scored points, could have been even worse

I saw somebody post that it’s how much you have in the bank, but without the decimal point. So £22 is £2.2m and 4 is £0.4m 🤷‍♂️

What on earth is this double gameweek? I’m averaging about 2.5 points per player per game and based on what I’ve seen on here, I’m actually doing pretty well 😂

Which tournament are you playing in? I haven’t played one for years!

I’ve got a similar squad, I want to give Saka an extra week to get a bit fitter plus I want to see if Savinho is back for City this week. BB could be really good but also could be a catastrophe this week if neither of those play

That’s horrifying

There’s a couple of people in my work mini league that are clearly doing it, including copying creators. Did some research and saw that one had exactly the same team as FPL Harry for the first half of the season, until he missed a price rise and had to start doing his own thing, then fell apart 😂

I think the payment is debatable as people might pay to support somebody they like, but I don’t get the point of using an algorithm to make choices for you - where is the enjoyment? People can’t honestly get satisfaction from clicking buttons that a computer has told you to click?

It happened to Gareth Bale - the longer his hair got, the worse he played

I like it, seems like there’s love for both though. Can you offer both on the site and allow people to choose?

Agree, takes the pressure of the developers too and saves a huge number of continual complaints and bad publicity as more and more bugs are found. Would rather wait than have an unplayable game.

Yep

I’m almost certainly doing (a) - unless something big changes. I want to try and minimise the gap between the wildcard and bench boost

Great work, my season is really similar! I’m almost there, shows that a bad start can be turned around with a bit of patience and some good picks

Same. Whatever you win, I want it too

Yellow and red card system would work, two slurps and you get sent home with no pay, 5 slurps over the course of a month and it’s a one day suspension

I wanted to hate it but I prefer it now. Very few dead games, and every team gets a few difficult fixtures rather than 6 games against 3 Eastern European clubs most people have never heard of. Even the clubs at the top have motivation to keep winning to avoid the extra 2 fixtures

Think it’s one of Fernandes or Mbeumo - Fernandes will give you more flexibility

Best to make sure you’ve fully understood it by watching it all again before watching the final one I would say

I feel like the quality of posts is much higher here. Almost no silly arguments, engagement farming and noise. No people recommending silly differentials for the sake of it. I think the average maturity level of people is higher on here and I’m not interested in seeing kids arguing! Not going back!

Hope so, moving away from the platform that shall not be named has been quite refreshing. Happy to live in blissful ignorance over here whilst he uses his platform to declare war on and interfere with other countries.

Great progress! I see a lot of this, but it’s more about people trying to get a higher and higher rating and then getting fed up when it stops increasing. Keep playing for the enjoyment and a higher ELO will come with it!
