Sure man. I totally get it. End of the day, none of us are winning this game so just play it your way :)

I have never been even remotely close to this cool looking in my entire life ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just on an emotional level, I am a bit biased as heโ€™s one of my favorite players to watch. Even without the CS though, still has multiple routes to points. Which is what you want from your defenders

That makes perfect sense. Thing about Semenyo is his price is going to keep rising. If you can make your peace with it being more difficult to bring him in later, then go without.

That was my initial reaction as well with Munoz but heโ€™s got pretty good fixtures going forward besides the Arsenal match. Goals, assists, CS, and DC. Think he might be a season keeper. Just need to be patient with him

If you can find a way for both, Enzo probably is a decent pick. Straight up choice between Semenyo and Enzo though, I think Semenyo is the pretty clear winner.

Love the color symmetry there. It may blow up in your face, but will do so with extreme stylishness.

Had a very shall we say..ambitious..plan for a -12 that would have ripped out all my attacking fullbacks for cheapies to bring in Haaland. Now thinking a simple -4 of Ekitike to Bowen and Porro to Mukiele might be far more elegant in its simplicity

78 point GW (82-4 point hit) and a 1m rank rise to 9.2m. Feet firmly planted in dreamland. Porro and Ekitike are still going no matter what but Munoz may have earned a reprieve.

Exactly. Especially when you can get a Timber for almost the same price

Iโ€™m probably selling Porro this week as well. I think the era (3 weeks?) of Spurs clean sheets has probably ended and time to move on

05.10.2025 08:22 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Very solid team. Not to jump on the DCL is a trap bandwagon but that money could be better spent perhaps going down to a Lyle Foster. 0.5 less and probably more likely to pop up with a goal than DCL.

I get it. He had that huge season under Ancelotti in 2020 and looks like he should be far more impactful than he ever is. Heโ€™s the deadest of dead ends

05.10.2025 00:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

18 goals over the last 5 seasons. 13 over the last 4. 3 last year. Thereโ€™s nothing I see there that makes him worth more than a random 4.5 striker. If his name was Chiwome instead of DCL, he wouldnโ€™t even be an afterthought with those stats

05.10.2025 00:14 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think thatโ€™s fair. Just personally, think heโ€™s an inconsistent player not on pens, in a team with a constant threat of rotation. If your risk tolerance is high, heโ€™s a great boom or bust player. Just never been for me

04.10.2025 22:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It might be a blind spot for my but I tend to steer clear of wildly inconsistent players. Those points are there but you never know when. As you said, those next 4 fixtures are great but heโ€™s just as likely to come out of those with 8 points as he is 40

04.10.2025 22:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah I think if you already own him, you see him through those fixtures. Iโ€™m talking more a long term thing with him. Thereโ€™s a reason a certain group of people like myself were never interested in him.

When I watch him, even setting aside all the injuries, I see a player who with his modeling career hasnโ€™t been interested in football since maybe 2020. He does help me in that when a FPL podcast/stream mentions him as a possible target, I know to turn them off :)

Heโ€™s always been a high volume shot taker who would often just lace the ball at goal hoping it would go in. He seems to be much more intelligent and nuanced in his decision making this season. More importantly, he has a clearly defined place in the squad. Canโ€™t say that about Pedro

61 points with 5 players left to play. On pace to coming close to equaling my last 3GW combined. Iโ€™ve got goals, assists, captain points, and Defcon(!) all over my team. The failure this season has been so comprehensive that I donโ€™t know what to do with this success ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well played by all the Joao Pedroโ€™s owners who got his points early in the season. But this has always been who he is. Impressive for a short stretch, anonymous for another. Iโ€™ve never enjoyed having these kind of players in FPL

Iโ€™m old enough to remember the time when Spurs hired Thomas Frank as the new manager and they looked like they were never going to concede a goal again. Feels like it was only a month ago ๐Ÿ˜‚

Giving serious thought to this. Would be Ekitike, Porro, Munoz, Cucurella out to Diouf, Haaland, Mukiele, and Truffert. My rank is 9.5m so radical change probably in order

So those affordable $60 seats they are advertising is the green on this map. Rest of the stadiums on the bottom of this page: www.fifa.com/en/tournamen...

Trying to visualize what the experience of those seats would even be like. Looks like a quarter sliver of a section of Category 3 seats. How many people does this even accommodate in those 4 corners? 100? Seems like a big middle finger from FIFA to its fans
