4 straight poor GWs after 7 good ones. Feeling very streaky right now. Wish I would have done Saka out and not Rice, but Arteta strikes again with his pre-match press conference.
Happy: have 5 Def I like with good CHE fixtures and reasonable EVE
Unhappy: lost all momentum in MID and FWD

101 all out. Almost into the top 2k.
The Wilson and Chalobah punt worked well: +20 on those two moves. Also brought in Tarko for Munoz in preparation for GW18
Surprisingly, WC13 has been super effective despite holding it to focus primarily on LIV and NEW
Debating rolling or staying aggressive

So much of FPL feels like luck of bringing in the right people at the right time. Foden over Bruno on WC13. Bring in Bruno this week after a 2 week punt on Rogers. Bruno G goal from a corner. Feels like being aggressive at Christmas time has been a good practice for me. Trying Harry Wilson this week

The most grey arrow on Free Hit. Frustrated slightly - went for punts with BRI and AVL, just picked the wrong two. Would have been a great green arrow.
Mostly did the FH to avoid having to make my ARS decisions yet - seems like Timber and Saka are inevitable for me. Gyokeres seems like a no go

Saved 0.5 to navigate some aggressive changes I want to make in the weeks ahead. Leaning a little more on the 4-4-2 to start and aiming to have the "best"/strongest fixture captain for the opening weeks.

This is my squad. Forgot I switched Hall and Myko hoping for Hall to get 2-3 assists like last week

Rogers to Bowen with the 1FT
0.1 ITB
Regretting the Dango move last week with Evanilson on the bench but it does allow Bowen in. Can't go against Mo this week.
Very annoying that all 5 DEF and playing GK play against one of my starting attackers --> limited upside this week. Hoping for a nice gray

Amazing! I feel like my main goal in the last few weeks has been to have my Overall rank match my Gameweek 1 rank - 26 more people to catch. 51 points behind this manager.

68k to 41k while going Glasner. Two straight -4s to half the rank - feeling bold but lucky.
Considering Rogers to Bowen this week with some worry about Dango's minutes upcoming - will still play him in GW29

Not quite as high as you and 3 reds instead of 1 but it has been a fun ride

Been a fun 17 weeks - still really regretting how badly I started off the season. Have found a really nice rhythm over the last 10 weeks with a good bit of luck (Gakpo to Cunha this week for a -4 and getting him off the bench for Amad hit nicely).
0FT
Amad > Dango
Do I change Slot for a -4?

What a difference 10 GWs makes. Main regret was chasing points with Amad for Semenyo this past week when I had a feeling Rogers' legs would destroy Man City (kind of like Ars in GW2).
Locked in earlier:
Saka > Bruno
Davis > TAA (-4)
Is there a website where you can check GW rank from prev years?

1 FT
0.3 ITB
Main concerns for upcoming gameweeks:
1) Cunha will have to go - thinking Wood
2) Rogers and Semenyo - not loving it - thinking Amad/Enzo/Iwobi
3) Would love to upgrade Davis and Mosquera to Munoz/Milenovic/Mykolenko (Myko would be towards the end of EVE bad fixture run)
Thoughts?

After my worst GW of the season in GW 15 (Watkins VC over Palmer), got the best GW of my season.
1 FT used: Ait-Nouri > Robinson
1 FT left. 0.3 ITB.
Semenyo > Iwobi/Amad/Enzo is the plan. Thoughts?

Been a fun ride over the last 5 weeks - finally finding some momentum. Hoping the Green Arrows can continue!

B:
GW14: Isak>Pedro/Evanilson/Wissa
GW15: Rogers>Bowen/Kudus/Mitoma
Thoughts? Any players you favor? Wissa with bad fixtures. I would love to upgrade Mosquera to a ~4.5 DEF at some point but I’m also interested to roll some transfers thinking about Haaland in 18

🔒GW13 team. With the quick GW14 turnaround, any thoughts on what to do? I will have 1 FT and .5 ITB. 1) roll, 2) upgrade Mosquera to have another playing DEF for Xmas period, 3) work to transition to Joao Pedro and Bowen for a hit or in GW15 - likely replace Isak and Rogers. Want to keep Semenyo

Made some rookie/second year mistakes to start off this year - went without Haaland/Salah/Palmer trying to play the PPM game. Didn’t realize the value of captains. Did a poor -8 in GW6 after being bold again on GW4 wildcard but have been righting the ship since then

First time doing social media in a decade. Just following FPL. Second year playing. Apparently I made a team when I lived overseas in 2018 and when I had a 5 month old in 2020 - absolutely no memory of either of those ha! Looking forward to chatting about FPL
