If I was being cynical I'd say they floated the income tax rise to push gilts down during the OBR measurement period. But that would require a level of advanced planning that seems unlikely.

Star reporting we have settled transfer debts and FIFA fine. If that means a couple of Embargo / Restrictions get lifted it might make us more attractive to would be buyers when they come to sharpen their pencils #swfc

Donnoruma, Martinez, Petrovic are the three keepers I'm looking at bringing in post intl break. Any big names I'm missing?...

Anybody know when we get the 5 free transfers?

After the gameweek 15 deadline? Or after the gameweek 16 deadline?

Too many from the #FPL community are labelling Gameweek 11 as 'bad luck'

Not enough are blaming Alan Carr

have Gabriel but will be captaining Mateta this week because this season, the only strikers who’ve blanked against BRE were Watkins, Paqueta & Ekitike. Sesko, Wood, Muniz, Pedro & Isidor have all returned #fpl

Under the Radar

Just putting a shout out for a defender who's played 90 mins for each of the last 6 weeks, returned in four of those weeks and is second only to Gabriel in points scored.

Matheus.N

At only 0.8% ownership he must be a consideration with City's fixture run

#FPL GW11 - 48 points

- Not great, not terrible considering the average scores.
- Another small green arrow up to 1.7m
- Enzo now looks short sighted, and I'm frustrated I didn't get rid of Semenyo when I had the chance.
- Looking at a -4 and big changes post intl break.

Onto the next 🚀🔥👀

Mateta in for sure in GW11 barring any major injuries, likely for big Nick.

Also looking at semenyo out for someone and pope out (regardless of injury).

Should've gone with my gut. Blanked in every single one of those games.

Hindsight et al. but still frustrating when I called it

#fpl
Also anyone else considering semenyo out for 2/3 gws? Fixtures not great (i know bou tend to do better against top teams but still).

Settled on this team. Not happy with captaincy but oh well

Good luck everyone!

Who do I bench. Tempted to bench Thiago for Minteh tbh, but it's a 50/50. Also keen on Leeds against forest so could be swayed to start Gudmun over Munoz...

I'm pretty settled on Thiago and Enzo for FPL GW11.

I could be tempted to switch wolte to mateta too, but that feels a bit ott. Not sure I buy the mateta hype for this week, but I also think it might soon be time to jump off wolte (though that time could well be intl break).

My main takeaway from #SWFC Vs Norwich is that Pederson is a phenomenal manager. The system does almost all of the work for the players but lack of quality at both ends of the pitch keeps letting us down.

The system sets us up well defensively and progresses the ball well.... (continued)

Bowen and Merino

or

Thiago and Enzo

I’m not having a great week and just want to share for others (whether dads, mums or singles etc) that I really value this little corner of the world and value each and every post 👍

Even the brags. Even the people that got Van de Ven off the bench for 23 points

Staggering how many self inflicted mistakes government ministers are making.

Of course Nandys leadership bid was 6 years ago, but still 🤦‍♂️
Lisa Nandy has breached the governance code in her appointment of Chair of the Independent Football Regulator, David Kogan, because he donated to her leadership campaign.
