Hello! I am called FPL Antiques because I am a big fan of the Victoria Wood sketch Acorn Antiques, set in the fictional town of Manchesterford, and it amused me to call my FPL team Manchesterford Utd as pretty much no-one would understand it.
GW16: 3/5FT after I succumbed to the inevitable and went Mbeumo > Foden. I hate myself so much I actually hope my cowardice is punished.
Also Woltemade (failed 1-week punt) + Enzo > Saka / Guiu.
Saka (c), definitely hope courage prevails in this case.

Well, that's that then.

Just checked in on price changes and Foden up and Mbeumo down tonight is sadly going to be the straw that breaks my brave differential's back...

GW15, 56pts, small green arrow, and my god Bruno and Boomo saved that GW for me. What a Monday.
Now just to decide whether to move on Foden (and move Boomo on) right now.

Well the good news is it looks like I made the correct decision to start Lacroix over Andersen. The bad news is, well, everything else.

Well this is fun. I have these 5 DEFs.
FPL Review (and a random mate) says Tarks Andersen Lacroix
Solio says Andersen Lacroix Tarks Collins (bench Enzo)
My spreadsheet says Tarks Collins Lacroix
FFS says Tarks Senesi Lacroix
Any advance on those??

GW15. Mateta > Woltemade for a one-week punt.
Holding off on Foden until GW17.
Means using one more FT from my 5 than I originally planned, but I'm taking a chance and crossing my fingers there'll be enough opportunities to roll.

GW14: 66, red arrow from 316k to 361k.
Sunk by Guehi and Munoz. At least I benched the right attacker.
It's either Mbeumo > Foden (panic!) or Mateta > Guiu (patience!) next week.

I'm sure they must have missed a DefCon for Andersen with all that madness going on. Have another check guys?

OK so might be Cunha, might be Foden. bsky.app/profile/fpl-...
GW14: Sarr>Anderson (in the assumption I'll probably go Enzo>Cunha next week). Senesi is a hold.
Haaland captain, but benching Thiago so I can't be accused of complete EO cowardice.
Anders[o/e]n DefCons pls.

GW13 bench boost: 61 including an extra 11 from the players I'd have benched. 667k > 317k.
Couple of disappointments, but lots of little wins adding up: DefCons for Senesi / Andersen / Lacroix / Collins, assist for Tarks, cs point for Minteh, save point for Raya.

GW13: Bench Boost! 🚀
Alderete > Collins
Holding Enzo but overall it’s a decent bench and I just want to get it done with.
Hopefully they hold their own v the FHers.

GW12; 52pts and green arrow from 943 to 668k unless Bruno gets an extra DC from somewhere.
Which is a LOT better than it feels on Monday night after two Man U mid blanks (the week I buy Mbeumo) and benching Tarkowski.
Minteh benching stings a bit too.

GW12. Big moves last night, some forced by price rises.
Gab, Semenyo, Foster > Andersen, Boomo, Thiago.
Decided ultimately Mbeumo is better than Semenyo so 👋.
Now have exact money for Enzo>Cunha for GW13 and a MUN midfield triple-up...

Tapping the "transfers are part of a bigger plan, getting the highest predicted scoring player you can afford in that position isn't necessarily the play" sign.
(Thinking of going Gabriel > Andersen and swerving Virgil)

GW11 - had better weeks. Fun week to buy Semenyo. But 823 > 941k is far better than it could have been.
Most annoyed about Thiago haul - rank drop was minor but price rises inevitable now, which might force me to change my plans.

GW11. Rank 823k. Gyokeres / Cunha > Mateta / Semenyo.
Jumping on Semenyo a week earlier than planned but didn't fancy hiding behind the sofa again.
Senesi bench is annoying considering DefCon record but rest of team just looks so strong.

Just 1️⃣ big chance in 6️⃣ matches for Antoine Semenyo...

Jesus has been outside. 'Now is about making the steps day by day, in a different surrounding.'
On whether Havertz, Odegaard, Gyokeres, Martinelli & Madueke will miss out.
'I cannot confirm [that], but you are not far. I think we'll be very close with most of them [after the break].'

Team news...
'No news. We remain the same - nobody new that can join the squad - so all the same.'
Martin Zubimendi trained ahead of the trip to Slavia Prague, but he was suspended for the UCL clash.

GW10: 84pts, green arrow 1.2m - 823k.
No Tarks DefCons and Ndiaye goal not the ideal finish but a good week anyway. Farewell goal from Gyokeres (already gone Mateta to beat price rise) and unexpected Cunha DefCons (also most likely on the way out for Semenyo).

GW10: rolling despite Matetatemptation. Very likely moving for him next week.
Got plans for a GW13 BB with Thiago; let’s see how things pan out.

GW9: 48 points. Another tiny green arrow.
Should have played safe and not benched Lacroix defcon potential over Sarr, but not much I could do about Van de Ven and Porro. Didn't know they were so highly owned!
Gyokeres looks less impressive every time I watch him.

GW8 - 66 and a tiny tiny green arrow, to my slight surprise.
Do wish I had Saka and Mateta or someone over Gyokeres and Cunha, but maybe their time will come and I just want to save transfers for a few GWs if I can.
