If you're looking for a City defender, Gvardiol is by far the least likely to come off the bench for a one pointer. In 72 City appearances in the EPL, only three were off the bench - and one of those was his first game. He has either started or completely missed the last 45 City EPL games.

Anyone else looking at the mid-priced and cheaper mids and thinking 'a fourth defender will likely match them or even outscore them'? Yet I have five mids - and will probably will continue to roll the dice.

Currently 109,256 teams in the 'Top 1% league'. Only one is in the current top 100.

I'm 687k overall, and am in the top 22% of this league. (To be in the top 1% of the 1% league would mean a current OR of 47k.)

If nothing changes, seventh green arrow in a row (from 7.7m), and now 40 points off the top 100k

OK, Gordon to:
- Enzo for two weeks
- Minteh
- Szoboszlai even though I may bench him for Senesi
- roll to get through the IB (and lose value)
What would you do?

Is anyone doing Gordon to Szoboszlai? Lots of talk about getting Minteh (who I do like) and need for Liverpool players from GW12, so wondering if I just go a week early.

I have given zero thought to double Palace defence. But Lacroix is on 50 points after 10 games with a single attacking return. Richards has 44 points with no attacking returns and no bonus. Now, they won't get clean sheets in 40% of their games going ahead, but even so....

Now approaching my favourite time of the FPL year. Enough games played that patterns have emerged, and we can identity food picks. Looking at a dozen or so SGW starting ahead, with nine in half and half. Sensible decisions and ranks will 🚀 as other teams unravel.

Been weighing up Bruno or Mbeumo. Basically, they're both excellent so I'm going with my love for Bryan. After 9 games, he's second for NPxGI and is nailed with 86 minuted per start. He's just a great pick!

FPL accounts on X complaining about the costs of being a landlord. I don't often get into politics on here, but nothing will ever convince me that being a landlord is anything other than sucking blood from the disadvantaged.

If you were picking a Liverpool asset to get in GW12, would you go for Gakpo or Szoboszlai? T

Sold Pedro last night to avoid the price drop; will use to the money to move Caicedo to to either Bruno or Mbeumo: if the former, I'll have zero itb (hence the early move) and can't do Gordon to Gakpo in GW12.....

Live from Palace against Liverpool
October 29, 2025 at 9:35 PM
Amazing how much more likely a BGW feels now compared to when Palace drew Liverpool in the league cup back in September
October 28, 2025 at 6:49 PM
As it stands,
46 points to top 100k
57 to top 50k

Crazy week. Not a single return from attackers, yet I’m currently on a GW rank of 700k (should go down considerably as I’ve got no one in the last game)
October 26, 2025 at 4:02 PM
What's the most useful metric for thinking about Defcon returns? Percentage of returns? Total DCs piled up? minutes per DC? I've had a quick look at the top 5 for minutes per DC, and looked at their Median DC average....

The expansion of European football plus the five subs rule really does ruin FPL. How many legitimate attacking picks, in xMins terms, are there from the six UCL teams?
October 21, 2025 at 6:04 AM
The bad place totally losing its shit over the non-assist for Semenyo.
1) it’s not an assist according to the new rules as although inadvertant touches count, they don’t if a defender subsequently touches the ball;
2) imagine being that angry about 3 more points for a 90+% EO player.
October 19, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Original plan for King to either Sarr/Paqueta/Minteh and BB8, but the Caicedo flag is worrying me. Should I just roll and wait for another week for BB? That said, in the long term I think all three of the above are good picks

Would you BB this week with Caicedo and hope he starts, or hold fire?
October 17, 2025 at 11:34 AM
No, you’re alright, Belle & Sebastian - this what came up when I clicked on a Stalls ticket for them playing the Albert Hall
October 8, 2025 at 7:39 PM
How many does Pedro score on this run? How many times will Caicedo hit 12 DCs?
