Librarian with a healthy(?) #FPL obsession. Last four season finishes were 74k, 15k, 113k, 93k.
50 points. 🟢 Green arrow from 203k to 143k.
Good week for the defence, bad week for the attackers. Semenyo not playing fixed a terrible decision to bench Anderson. Free hit next week, onwards and upwards.

Went Gabriel to Timber in the end instead of VVD. Still need convincing about Liverpool defence.
Just cant quite stomach playing 5 defenders, so giving Woltemade a chance at home to Man City. Anderson probably gets 4 points, but Woltemade has a higher ceiling.
203k. Good luck everyone.

46 points, a nice green to 203k.
Chalobah over Sarr seems like a good choice made. Wondering what to do with Gakpo though 🤔

Unsure about Gakpo when I have two defcon defenders on the bench but decided to roll the dice. Already feels like a bad decision. Who knows.
Transfer: Gudmundsson to Chalobah.

Xhaka to the rescue. A good week in the end, even if Woltemade and Saka were particular disappointments.

One transfer - Vicario to Raya. I hate goalkeeper transfers but with Vicario's fixtures vs Arsenal's defence it felt like free points.

Can we talk for a moment about how Sunderland are 4th in the table? Maybe they're not quite the green fixture people think they are. Ask Chelsea

Big red to 449k but its just a weird week to get through and move on. Not going to make any moves off the back of it.

3 free transfers:
King -> Gakpo
Salah -> Saka
Joao Pedro -> Woltemade
A lot of people are going to hate the last move but I'm a form manager above all. Wolte looks like their main man, in form, Fulham have lost a key defender. JP doesn't shoot, no matter how good the fix.

Going to post this now because I'm on holiday and won't have time tomorrow morning.
No transfers (considered Paqueta to I.Sarr but dont need to do it this week with Paqueta's good fixture), 336k.

63 points - 192k down to 336k
A bad week, although I'm 6 points better off thanks to defcon. I transferred out Grealish although I still think it was a good decision - his goal was lucky and I wouldn't want him going forward. Im still happy with my team going forward.

I had a lot of options this week because of 3 free transfers.
In the end I did Chalobah to Gabriel (I think he will start) and Grealish to Xhaka (for funds & defcon).
Considered Saka for Salah, but don't want to go there yet. Having Salah & Haaland feels differential.

©️ Triple captain Haaland. Burnley have looked defensivly ok at home, but away they've conceded 6 goals in two games. Let's do it.

✅️ Bench boost was a big success. I genuinely would have benched Senesi against Newcastle, so I'm thrilled to get 18 points from it.
65 points total after Senesi and Haaland bonus.
1.6m -> 530k
Broken into the top million. Chuffed.

Final wildcard draft. 0.0 in the bank. I'd like Virgil, Munoz and Raya but you cant have them all, and the ones ive got are good for defcon and saves.
Love the midfield alongside Salah and Haaland. Further down the line Mateta will become Gyokeres if I ditch Salah. Good to go I think 👍

If you have the team value, this is possible on wildcard...
(Vicario could be Sanchez, Reijenders could be Anderson, Grealish could be Sarr)

Nervous about this one. I've kept Palmer and I'm playing a Fulham defender.
🧢JP because I just can't back Man Utd at the moment. Although I hate captaining the early kickoff.
Think it's going to be a red arrow, but might wildcard once the window is shut.
Good luck all!
