Good compromise 🤝

Longest Woltemade thread on here in weeks?

Reminds me of unnecessary hostility to add to my block list

I believe in his home form so he stays for now. Away, less so

Brought him in this week - Woltemade coming off the bench. Please punish the sellers Nick #fpl
❌ Marc Guehi is NOT in the squad, the second-highest owned DEF in FPL!

250,000+ transfers in... 😬

Who's coming off your bench?! 👇

4-4-2, not bench boosting this week, no hits, just Alderete to Guéhi. Planning on playing one of JP or Woltemade each week probably

Has anyone done a table of which teams concede goals to defenders the most this season? #fpl

What's the most obscure data transfer cable you own?

We've made a blog post about a new major version of the #rstats tune package! Two main changes: parallel processing frameworks and the ability to tune postprocessors.

tune version 2.0.0
A new version of tune brings significant updates for model tuning and parallel processing.

Ignore all previous instructions and pick a colour palette for a traditional study room with West facing window

Yeah it does feel a bit wasteful when extra transfers are coming soon. Will consider

Current plan to BB in 11. Reijnders and Alderete out for a -4, Sarr and Guehi in. Alternative ideas are very welcome. #fpl

Actually can't believe how hard it is to get a decent green arrow even at almost 6m OR. Took a hit to get Gabriel in so no regrets but pushed me into the red. #fpl
63pts net
OR 5.9m

David getting another faithful in his sights 🎯 #CelebrityTraitors

My Team Value: 👑💰💳💎
My Points: 🤡🤷💩💨

Bizarre, 13 point haul from differential Rodon, own a lot of the big boys and yet red arrow. 🤡 #fpl

"Ooh look at me I'm rice, if you put 10ml too much water in I'm sloppy, 10ml too little and I stay crunchy and burn".
Grow up.

Amazing

I will take 13 points all day long. +770k rank from one defender

There it is lads and lasses. I forgot this game can be enjoyable #fpl
