I'm happy with my FPL so far. I have dropped a fair bit in the CL but will definitely get back to weekly updates

Saka > Bowen; Saka’s injury forced the transfer, but in hindsight, it helps since he has been on a low-scoring run for a few weeks AND my aim is to bring Haaland back into the team

Easy captaincy decision

Good luck all

Cunha > Jackson; Cunha will get a ban, but it seems me going so early in the transfer might not have been the best move (he could start today vs Leicester!)

Alt-Nouri > Huijsen (another ban situation)

The captaincy was between Salah and Palmer

Captaincy was a choice between Palmer and Salah. Brentford has a poor away record, which led me to choose Palmer. However, Fulham are without Bassey and Andersen, so Salah is definitely a good option too

Made no changes and Palmer as Captain ended up being the correct choice.

2 Wolves left to play who can hopefully push me above 60 PTS #FPLcommunity

Bruno > Palmer
Mbeumo > Saka

I've been dropping further and further down the ranking, so decided i needed to take my first PTS hit of the season.

Palmer as captain for the Southampton fixture is the way to go

Haaland > Cunha

I’ve finally done it. I have removed Haaland out of my team, AND before his price dropped to 15.1M (now 15M)

No extra FT in the bank, and with Konate unavailable, it'll be just my luck to see Haaland score 2 or more goals #FPL

Past effort’s would tell you not to look past Manchester City, but yet another poor result.

Just can't see them challenging for the league at this rate. Let's see where they are by January.

This should undoubtedly be the most obvious contract extension. Regardless of his age or salary demands, Salah remains one of the best players in the Premier League, and his consistent performances in crucial moments this season are a testament to that. Get it done Liverpool

Solanke > Isak
Wood > Pedro

Yes I could have been patient with Wood facing Ipswich next week, but decided to go now to avoid a Isak price rise and for the current GW

I couldn't bring myself to remove Haaland from my team. #FPLcommunity #FPL

For each matchday, I keep more detailed notes based on some of the games I’ve watched. For example, I mentioned how I felt Man Utd's press seemed more effective with Mason Mount on the pitch in MD 1

My aim in noting this was to assess whether it could be a genuine solution to an ongoing issue.

Something I’ve started doing this season is jotting down notes focused on the games I’ve watched. It’s a brief, summarised format that includes: the games I watched, my Man of the Match (MOTM), first-time seeing a player (FTS), One to watch (OTS), my summarised notes, and the final score of the game

I just cast my VOTE for FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH. Who will you vote for? #TheGameAwards @geoffkeighley.bsky.social www.thegameawards.com/share/nomine...

It was between this and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Hard decision

A great tool to help you find your mutuals is using the "Sky Follower Bridge" extension. Simply download the extension on your web browser, go to your Twitter (X) following list, and activate the extension.

It won't be 100% accurate, but it is a great starting point (2/2)

Introduce yourself with four video games

Now this is a diverse selection of genres, but all in my top 5 games of all time.

Given the number of teams facing each other in my lineup (Dom v Haaland/Gvardiol- Gabriel v Wood), it's likely that I will need to make a significant transfer at this stage

Considering removing Haaland before his price drops to 15.1M.

it’ll be Isak/Palmer in - Haaland/Rogers out (if I do it)
