It's possible to send me DMs but I can't read them as I won't be doing the age verification.
#FPL

GW23:

26 PTS
GWR >12 million
Less said the better.

GW24:

1/4 FTs made (early because of a funeral).
Foden to Mbeumo.

Things a bit rubbish atm (outside FPL). Not much time for analysis/leaks so I'm giving myself a pat on the back for not rage wildcarding with no prep.

#FPL

GW22:

(a bit late)
42 points
OR: 1M75 up to 1M66

Slowly rising.

4xMCI a bit rubbish
2 of 3 ARS decent
1 of 2 good for both LIV & NEW

The Ekitike captaincy over Haaland made no difference but Ekitike had 10x the xGI so I'll call that the right choice.

3FTs available but may roll again.

#FPL

GW22:

Rolled the FT so I have 4 MCI players now.
Ekitike is captain. O'Reilly v Lacroix for starting XI. NO'R wins out but hasn't started for MCI. Hoping he doesn't have a 5 minute 1 pointer.

Up to 3 FTs.
January 17, 2026 at 1:25 PM
#FPL

GW21:

58 points
OR: 1M78 up to 1M75

Small unexpected green (grey) arrow.
1 FT available, none used.
Lacroix autosubs on to rescue the GW. Bruno G excellent again.

Giving some thought to the WC but need to decide soon. Don't want 11 days of price falls and missed rises.

#FPL

GW20:

54 points

OR: 2M00 up to 1M78

Horror show on Saturday turned around on Sunday thanks to The NEW pair & Wirtz.

FT out of Rice & no show Ekitike made it a "what could have been" GW.

Thiaw the star.

Only 1 FT available for GW21 which has 3xARS v 2(?)xLIV. Bench very light.

#FPL

GW20:

1 FT available and a few doubts so Rice out, Trossard in. Didn't have any profit tied up in Rice so decision easier.
O'Relly 50% disappeared off premierinjuries.com so he's back in the XI and Lacroix back on bench.
Don't love the squad but nothing that screamed hit(s) or WC.
Captain🤖

GW19:

46 points

OR: 2M19 up to 2M00

Free Hit used. Non-FH team would have scored 45. 1 pt gain but 1 less FT for GW20. A bit like the season so far - not a catastrophe but pretty poor and worst halfway rank in FPL (ignoring 2014/15 when I didn't have a team until the final few GWs).
January 1, 2026 at 11:11 PM
Happy New Year BlueSkyers!

Wishing you all the best for 2026.
January 1, 2026 at 12:51 AM
#FPL

After today, non-FH team would've had 30 pts from 5 played. FH team 23 pts from 6.

A few in common in the remaining games so it's down to this.
To break even with pre-free hit team, Matheus N & Szoboszlai have to outscore O'Reilly, Lacroix & Foden by 7 pts.

Extra FT too if I'd burned it.
December 31, 2025 at 12:54 AM
#FPL

GW19:

Free Hit played. 8 changes to the XI and 2 to the bench.

3xLIV
3xMUN
2xMCI
2xNEW
1xCHE

Should be pretty differential but captaincy is back on Haaland.

See if I can finish first half of the season with a decent GW.
December 30, 2025 at 4:45 PM
#FPL

GW18:

48 points
OR 2M26 up to 2M20

Tiny green arrow. Returns for all 3 new players - Wirtz, Ekitike (c) & Rice. (Let's ignore the fact that 2 of the transfers out - Saka & Thiago also returned). Blanks otherwise apart from Semenyo.

Team looks ok for GW19 but I've got my Free Hit to use.
December 28, 2025 at 10:01 PM
#FPL

GW18:

Ready for the Boxing Day football extravaganza. St. Stephen's Day as we call it in Ireland or just Stephen's's Day. (with the extra 's)
Oh just one player in the single fixture. Captaincy still on Ekitike (I think).
bsky.app/profile/ball...
#FPL

GW18:

All 3 FTs used.
Out: Saka, Szoboszlai & Thiago
In: Wirtz, Rice & Ekitike

Captaincy currently on Palindrome but might change to Haaland.
Free Hit still available and it'll be GW19. Not given it much thought yet - let's see how things look after this GW.

GW17:

73 PTS
OR: 2M08 down to 2M26

Small red in a GW where many have played a chip is ok.
Double ARS defence, Semenyo, O'Reilly and Haaland (c) were the returns.

3/3 available FTs already used which saved a little budget.

Happy Christmas/Solstice to all!
December 23, 2025 at 4:31 PM
#FPL

GW17:

2 FTs available. 2 yellow flags but I'll roll barring further injury news.
Captaincy back on Haaland.
December 19, 2025 at 1:21 PM
#FPL

GW16:

A bit late with this one but at least it's before the GW17 deadline.

71 points
OR 2M20 up to 2M08

Tiny green arrow and stuck around the 2 million mark.
December 19, 2025 at 1:10 PM
Did I miss Ndiaye's red card against Man U and him missing the last 2 games?
BBC with the accurate coverage.
December 13, 2025 at 3:19 PM
#FPL

GW16:

A few options available. Bruno F., Ekitike or Saka. Picked Saka for captaincy.

Out: Gakpo, Ndiaye, Rice & Mateta
In: Foden, Szoboszlai, Saka & Guiu

Could have delayed the Ndiaye to Szobo move but went now.
Timber a risk but Lacroix 1st bench OK.

Free Hit still available.
December 12, 2025 at 5:33 PM
#FPL

GW15:

40 points
OR: 1M74 down to 2M20

Pretty poor week despite returns from Bruno G. & Ndiaye.
Blanks from everyone else.
Got the bench wrong again. O'Reilly & Rice got 6 pts each.
Foden, Guehi & Bruno F. & Mbeumo all hurt rank.

I've missed a few Foden price rises but he's in for Gakpo now.
December 9, 2025 at 3:17 PM
#FPL

GW15:

1 FT to be used.
Virgil to Thiaw.

Couldn't get Foden without a hit. Nearly everyone seems to be getting him. Dangerous.
Hoping the ones who rested midweek get full games.
Rice doubt puts him on bench.
Close between O'Reilly, Timber & Ndiaye for first sub.

Captain Haaland.
December 6, 2025 at 9:30 AM
#FPL

GW14:

57 points
OR 1M35 down to 1M75

Part time FC:
Timber, Gakpo, Bruno G. all 45 mins
Thiago 30 mins

Best score after Haaland was 2nd on bench.
Haaland only scored 1 less than the other 10 combined.

Not a great start to December but there's plenty of games to make up some ground.
December 5, 2025 at 1:08 AM
#FPL

GW14:

Belated team news.

2/2 FTs used.
Out: Caicedo & Senesi
In: Bruno G. & O'Reilly

Strong bench but that may be needed in busy month.

Haaland captain.

(just heard Bruno G. is on bench)
December 2, 2025 at 8:08 PM
#FPL

GW13:

Woltemade out, Thiago in. Triple Captain on Haaland.

60 points
OR: 2M26 up to 1M35

An excellent GW but the green arrow isn't down to chip usage (massive extra 2pts).

New boy Thiago, tyvm. Had a Bees fan mate visiting this weekend which made it sweeter. LIV 👍

Caicedo 🟥 to ?
