#FPL #GW11

We've got to that point in the season where everyone's team feels a bit similar (seems to come earlier every year, like 🎄)

Before the gw6 wildcard: 4.3m 🌍
After the gw8 bench boost: 1.1m 🌍

83pts this week. I think Saka's calling. #FPL

Managed to get some Super Furry Animals tickets for next May. Not quite the bargain price they were first time round... #SFA #bargen
A ticket to a Super Furry Animals gig in 1996 at Bangor University/Prifysgol Bangor.

Decent wildcard - decent progress. Up to the top 2.5million 🥳 If my subs can repeat this next week on a bench boost I'll be very happy. #FPL

Only three of these are surviving on the wildcard. Warra season so far. #FPL

Reminds me a bit of this, which I found a few years ago in an old Western Mail. Rugby first, relationships second.

When your star men are central defenders you know it's not going well. #fpl

Top tip: always give your trainers a good shake before putting them on. There might be a surprise inside…

Finally found my three-digit #FPL ID. Won't be hard to remember.
The 118 runners fronted a hugely popular ad campaign in the early 200s for the 118 118 directory enquiries service.

If we need Gen AI to boil an egg we might well be doomed as a civilization.

Not quite the 21st placed finish of last season, but it ends with a green arrow and a fourth top 50k finish in 8 seasons of playing #fpl. Frustrating last few weeks overall, but lessons learnt for next season.

By the sixth consecutive red arrow it does get very tedious. #fpl

End of a short era. Handing on the trophy, to the current world no 2 by the looks of things. #FPL #FPLCommunity

Hoping to stem the tide of red arrows (not helped by missing the gw35 deadline 🤦‍♂️)

Would be nice to push on from here. All hail the sub £6m players. Bench boost next week. #fpl

Some would call this a grey-ish arrow. It's definitely red though.

If Mo can match this Chelsea midfielder then things will have gone well in #gw27 #fpl

I have a slightly different blue die - made in Portugal, finessed in Wolverhampton. Good luck! #fpl
