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!!

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...

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

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.

GW9. Made some desperation moves:
• Salah > Saka
• Reinjders > Gakpo
• Foster > Wolte
Need a good gameweek, but absolutely expecting the worst

GW8. Small red arrow and pretty terrible gameweek.
• Pope over Dubravs
• Sold Mbeumo (for Sarr)
• Brought in Sarr over Mateta
3FT's so tempted to blow it up by selling Salah and getting in some - you know - good players, but will wait till closer to deadline (and hemorrhage more TV, probably)

GW8. Currently going with a lesser-spotted 4-4-2.
Mbeumo > Sarr
Richarlison > J. Pedro
Dodged J. Pedro all season but jumping on just as people seem to be jumping off. Also backing against Senesi this GW. Bench order pretty random 🤷♂️

GW7. Small green. Lyle Foster surprisingly didn't get the haul I hoped for 😂
Richarlison and Mbeumo on the chopping block for GW8 but won't be thinking about that for a while.

GW7. Team looks fine until you get to that forward line.
Team news dependent but likely rolling a transfer (to 4) - not enough $ to do anything substantial this GW.

GW6. Rank rise of almost 3 million should probably be considered a success, but blanks from almost all my "differential" WC picks is kinda disappointing. Doubt they'll stick around for long.
First green arrow of the season.
Will be playing Lyle Foster next GW, so might be the last.

Good job I planned perfectly for the eventuality of a KDH suspension

WC6. Some template picks alongside some (probably) downright stupid picks. Kept Salah, which I'm hoping will prove to be a differential over the coming weeks.
Concern now switches to the highly possible - and some may say inevitable - likelihood of my OG team outscoring my WC team.

Don't really use the FPL app, but just noticed my red arrows show as green there.
I will hereby therefore be using the app more often.
Best bug ever.

Going into GW5 with a rank of >7m, as a reasonably "engaged" managed, I didn't think it was possible to get another red arrow - yet here we are!
Team is doing terribly, but slightly hamstrung by fixtures.
Likely taking out my 2 highest scorers this GW ahead of GW6, too.

A few 50-50s which may backfire, too.

What the heck is this now?!?
Hopefully they're launching the co-pilot Assistant Manager AI helper - I need the AI overlords to take my hand and lead me out of this eternal darkness I find myself surrounded in

GW4 bus team. Not feeling too confident going into GW4 - wouldn't be surprised at another red arrow.
Plan to hold fire on any chips/major surgery until at least GW6, and will then probably start to panic if rank hasn't improved.

GW3. Quite possibly my worst-ever start to an FPL season.
Made some moves to "strengthen" the team but bringing in Wood & Semenyo over J.Pedro & Mbeumo gone terribly (so far), and ultimately wasn't necessary as I had solid options on the bench I could've utilized much better.
Another stinker.

Team is a bit of a mess for GW3 - moved Palmer & Fullkrug to Semenyo & Wood with 2 FT's.
Couldn't bring myself to back United and have tripled up on Forest as a fixture play.
But I now only have interest in 4 games this week, which I kind of hate.
