4-4-2, not bench boosting this week, no hits, just Alderete to Guéhi. Planning on playing one of JP or Woltemade each week probably

Current plan to BB in 11. Reijnders and Alderete out for a -4, Sarr and Guehi in. Alternative ideas are very welcome. #fpl

Actually can't believe how hard it is to get a decent green arrow even at almost 6m OR. Took a hit to get Gabriel in so no regrets but pushed me into the red. #fpl
63pts net
OR 5.9m

Here we go again #fpl GW9 🤷

Tiny green arrow. The team has been sent for a cold shower and told to do better next week. #fpl gw7

Friday deadline is nice.
Not quite a BB week but not surprised if I bench points.

🌍 5.8m
🧢 Haaland
♻️ Timber in for Tarkowski

Good wildcard week. Returns from Haaland captain, Senesi, Semenyo, extra point from Andersen.
Loads of points on the bench but that's what happens when you pick good players. Will start those guys more often.
Up to 5.8m OR, just about where I started.

Thoughts on this WC draft?
When I take Salah out I end up spending more money for players I'm not convinced by, so keeping him around.

Terrible week in #fpl, down to 7.7m

25 points all out 🤡
Wildcard active

25 points all out mate.

Differential Disasterclass

I'm cooked
September 20, 2025 at 4:40 PM
This formation is cursed 😱
#fpl gw5 looking like a rough one unless Wood and Watkins wake up.
Wildcard button likely getting hit tomorrow for gw6.

FH success. Gained 2 million in rank, Haaland captain and Andersen the heroes #fpl
Question now is to stick with Villa and Forest for a week or two, or wildcard early
September 15, 2025 at 6:26 AM
Final FH team for #fpl GW4.
Team looks strong and covers a lot of high EO threats. The recovery starts here 🥲

OR 8.3m
September 13, 2025 at 9:10 AM
Is this better overall then (4-3-3 with fragile bench)?
My performance this year has been bin juice
September 10, 2025 at 9:17 PM
Latest iteration of the free hit. Theory is João Pedro may get reduced mins/role due to gross Atlantic travel and Palmer possibly returning

#fpl FH4 bus team. Saaland free hit - wish I could afford Grealish over KDH but don't want to compromise elsewhere really. Welcome any thoughts.

#fpl GW3

Looks like no JSL so going with a 4-4-2. Palmer out for Semenyo, Ndiaye out for Anderson and Füllkrug out for Wood(-4). Attacking the Forest/West Ham fixture big time.

Free hit next week.

I mean it's not ideal is it.
OR 6 million or something.
Minus four already taken for next week to get back on track. All chips still available

These are incredible. Home Bargains.

Double Chelsea defence, no JP, Fullkrug third bench.

Before you criticise, walk a mile in my shoes #fpl
August 22, 2025 at 9:05 PM
Trying to build Watkins hype to convince myself his captaincy is a good idea 🫠#fpl
