FPL enthusiast since 2011. Old enough to remember Times mail-in Fantasy Football. Also a giant underground worm.

Best ranks:
• 4232 - 2024/25
• 6221 - 2016/17
• 9075 - 2023/24
• 11113 - 2017/18
GW12. KDH saving my GW from the bench. Otherwise another pretty horrific GW.

First green arrow in 4 GW's, though. A 0pt green arrow, but green nonetheless.

Top 10k here we come!!

FPL gods saving me from myself this week:
• Spend time on Friday considering a -4 to replace KDH with Mbeumo
• Decide against it but bench KDH
• Get KDH auto-sub points for Semenyo 🔥

First bench jam of the season though, so I'll absolutely take it.

KDH! Some actual points!!
November 24, 2025 at 8:41 PM
No pressure KDH 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sold Mbeumo in GW8. Since then he's scored 33pts and had a 0.6 price increase 👌

Just seen the cast for US Traitors season 4. The usual mess of Survivor, Big Brother, Real Housewives etc. "reality stars" alums. Oh and Michael Rapaport, randomly.

Surely after the success of UK Celebrity Traitors, they should aim higher than that

GW11. Still getting red arrows at 5m OR, which is quite remarkable really.

I've completely disassociated from FPL & FPL content at this point - which definitely helps the mental state during these terrible gameweeks. Only still going out of curiosity of what horrors the next week could bring...

This is my 15th year playing FPL and my lowest-ever finish is 300k.

I'm 110pts off that after 10 GWs.

That's gotta be my target for the season, but I'm not hopeful!

Red arrow 🤣

Honestly just embarrassing at this point - I'm actually trying ffs
GW10. Did the same J.Pedro > Mateta move as everyone else.
Benched VdV's haul last week so excited to play him for his 1pt return this week.

If I can't get a green arrow this GW at rank 5m, I don't know what I'm doing here anymore
November 3, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Oh so *this* is the week I get a defender off my bench. Not last week when I had 23pts, but this week when I have 3pts 👍

Sure, FPL can be frustrating, but have you ever watched a toddler try to put on pyjama pants?

After meticulously reviewing all the data from the previous 10 fpl gameweeks, I've finally realized why I'm having such a bad season.

I changed my team name for the first time in 3 years.

Schoolboy error.

In GW9 I took out Salah to spread the funds and make my team "stronger" - bringing in Saka, Gakpo & Woltemade.

Salah alone has outscored all 3 combined in the 2 GW's since.

👍

There needs to be a Carabao Cup fantasy league because my FPL team would 100% win it

When's the AI assistant manager meant to be showing up? Turns out I could use the help 🤣
October 29, 2025 at 5:14 AM
My planned transfer this GW was VdV > Munoz. Have exact money, but Munoz looks like he's going up it price tonight, so will be priced out.

I can't do that move now, can I? Surely!?
October 27, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Brought Van De Ven into my GW10 bus team. Currently benching J.Pedro.

We know how this goes...
October 27, 2025 at 7:11 PM
GW9. Things going from bad to worse. My own worst enemy.

• Sold Salah this GW - scored
• Sold Foster this GW - scored
• Sold Mbeumo last GW - 24pts since
• Benched VdV (for Gudmundsson) - 22pt swing

Time to step away from the wheel for a while.

Are. You. Kidding. Me.
WOOHOO first goal of the gameweek for one of my players! 🎉

Micky Van De Ven!!

Is on my bench

Sure, FPL can be frustrating, but have you ever tried doing a jigsaw puzzle with a toddler?

A word of warning to all ahead of GW16 - I have actively made my team worse by using transfers this season. If you have transfers saved going into GW16, just because you have them, doesn't mean you have to use them
October 25, 2025 at 9:06 PM
Sold Mbeumo GW8 to fund J.Pedro. 20 point swing.

Closest I've been to quitting this game for many years.
October 25, 2025 at 6:28 PM
GW9. Made some desperation moves:

• Salah > Saka
• Reinjders > Gakpo
• Foster > Wolte

Need a good gameweek, but absolutely expecting the worst
