Used to be better at FPL than I am now...
GW15. Taking out Sarr for the second week running (last week I did a late switch to a FH). This time for Foden. (If only I'd done that last week!)

Free hit gained me just 5 points over my original team. Oh well, at least it wasn't negative. First red arrow of the season though - one more point would have seen me get a green. Irritating.

Late decision to free hit. Only changed 4 starters, but the team felt a bit of a mess this week, and I feel there are possible gains. (Definitely not brave enough to go Salah over Haaland or anything like that!)

Been a bit quiet lately due to personal stuff going on, so not been spending much time thinking about FPL.
This week I'm gonna TC Haaland, and save the FH for a rainy day.
Used the FT on Mateta -> Thiago - chasing upside ahead of GW15's transfer reset, and I'm a bit spooked by Mateta's minutes.

Might still switch Sarr and Reijnders, but saving a transfer after using all my saved ones last week.

Originally my plan was to roll to 4FT and BB, then get in Sarr and a Palace def for GW10. But this perennial Strand Larsen injury thing made me reconsider, get the Palace players in this week (can bench next week), and get (urgh) DCL for JSL.
So 3 FTs used:
Tarko -> Lacroix
Stach -> Sarr
JSL -> DCL

BB abandoned thanks to JSL concerns, added to those slight Gabriel doubts. If it had just been Gabriel, I'd have risked it, as think he plays.
Saving the transfer to give me 3 next week.

Current wildcard thoughts - thinking to switch Gvardiol -> Gabriel by GW9 (have 0.5 itb):

Rolling this week. Still not sure on next week, coming back round to the idea of FH. Anyway, we'll see.

Last week's hit went so well, I've taken another this week. Every transfer seems to be injury-related. Palmer, Saka, now this week JSL and Sarr. Didn;'t fancy any other mids for Sarr, so improved my defence instead.
JSL + Murillo -> Gyok + VVD (-4):

Ugh, -4 taken and still with Strand Larsen (who will likely be auto-subbed out).

Unless there's some late news that affects things, I'll be rolling, and going with this for GW2.

Given up on BB1 - just doesn't work, whichever way one looks at it. Current team seems very generic though:

GW 38, Sarr -> Semenyo, Salah cap.

I've joined the hordes in getting Watkins (for Wood). The Ange quotes were too terrifying not to invest in Villa this week.

The M's become W's as Marmoush and Mateta turn into Wood and Wissa for a -4. At my rank, I gotta chase upside a bit.

Similar FH team to most. Tinkered a bit with double Newcastle defence, then went back to what I was originally on.

GW33 - last week's BB did not go great, but it's onto TC this week. Did Palmer to Saka with my FT.

I think this might be my wildcard, but subject to change. BB32 in mind.

I thought I was being ever so clever getting in Cunha, Dango and Nwaneri ahead of the blank.
Now I'm in this sorry state, and have taken a hit to get there. Seriously considered early wildcard, but decided waiting for info will pay off long term...

The l;ate late JP -> Cunha transfer last week did not go well. Rolling this week anyway, then probably take a hit for 29.

I think this is me, but I reserve the right to make a last minute change. Was always planning JP -> Cunha this week, but might wait one more week, so rolling my one FT.
Palmer captain if I can hold my nerve.
