Work(ed) in sports. Most enjoy talking about the beautiful game, music and family. Parkinson’s knocks us down often but we get back up each time (with a lot of help). #YNWA

There is no cure for Parkinson’s.
And currently, Parkinson’s treatment might alleviate symptoms, but it doesn’t treat the root cause, so over time symptoms will get worse.
We need new treatments that can protect brain cells and slow down the progression of Parkinson’s.

Transfers rolled, 3 FT available next GW. Thoughts of BB this week but too iffy on a couple players in a short week.
🧢Gab, but not a 🧢🧢🧢. Hedging and taking a different path w/ my chips through season's end.
Have a great week!

Decent GW24, 80pts and OR from 467k to 271k. Would have been 89pts but I felt I needed to bench Petrovic to send him a message.

Couldn't go any further with 5 City players. Hate to lose Cherki. Brought in Bruno F and he takes the 🧢. Dango also in. AVL midfield in tatters and NEW will be coming off PSG, LIV, MCI (all away). Can't believe some getting rid of Thiago.

Bullseye. Not just an Arteta or Pep issue, but unfortunately a problem with many current coaches across many sports. Be confident enough in your coaching abilities to let the gifted (whether they are your athletes or members of your staff) have some freedom.
Arsenal, and the issue of trying to win a title "by process" when you sometimes need more end product
- certain players now afraid of mistakes
- Eze found himself out more after Villa mistake
- Odegaard and duels
- the Guardiola issue of "control"

Arsenal, Mikel Arteta and the ‘fear of failure’ they are trying to banish
Arsenal players were encouraged to speak up about how they were feeling as Arteta looks to prevent a recent blip in their Premier League title race from snowballing

I tried to take a different path through the #FPL jungle in GW23, but like most everyone else I too ended up back where I started. 40 pts (after -4 in defcon adjustments), slight red arrow. Two 9s on bench. Still 400k+
Instead of spending my 4 FTs Sun night, decided I'll wait until post-CL at min.

Bench Boost (+17) worked out ok. Garner, fresh off signing a new contract this week, takes the armband.
(Looks like Xhaka out for the match today-- brings Mane off my bench. Added intrigue for City match!).
Good luck everyone and have a great weekend.

That was a fun last few minutes pre-deadline. I had a plan ready if this did occur but I took a beat and left my team except for 🧢change. Pep expecting Cherki to feed Semenyo for a couple tap-ins. If not working out, Foden and 🤖 in at HT. All good
🧢Semenyo, VC Rice. Rest stays as shown. Good luck!

Tough luck w/ 🧢Hugo not returning, but ended on roughly the same points as everyone else and a small green arrow keeping me around mid-400k.
Unless 1+ of 5 City players ruled out I'm likely to roll w/ something like this. Optimal? 🤷♂️ FPL is supposed to be fun so who cares. Let's do it. #FPL
