This has been an amazing watch so far. I never would have expected it

Little Fantasy update

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

Yeah, that makes sense. I’ll have to do the same

🧢 CAP Salah

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

Enjoyed the fight between Usyk and Fury. Usyk deserved the win, but I wouldn't complain if they somehow fought again at some point

🧢 CAP Salah

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

Can’t use injuries or any other factors as an excuse tonight. Spurs played against a team that closely mirrors their own playing style and, from the 60th minute onward, were completely dominated while contributing nothing to the game. This reflects poorly on Ange and Tottenham

In terms of style, Bournemouth is the team that is closest to Spurs. It is not a good look for Ange and the players, that Spurs have done nothing and have been easily managed.

I'm not one to tell people how to support their own club; everyone is entitled to different levels of expectations, but I have become quite surprised with the sheer negativity of our season so far, BY OUR FANS!

I've got a lot to say and will post it on Twitter after the next game

03.12.2024 13:03 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Yeah, the performance definitely was not up to par, but I just find it hard to blame the players or coach for that match.

Maybe I'm being too lenient, but we just could not field a diverse enough team from a profile aspect. I got a lot to say which i'll post in due time. Maybe during the next game

Spurs’ were unfortunate with the absences and not only the Defenders/GK

Losing two of your direct wide players (Odobert, Moore) AND needing to put your other option (Son) upfront, as you’re missing both of your out-and-out strikers. Means it just becomes a back-and-forth with no control.

I admire the risk, game is all about gambles!

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

(Ignore my ITB numbers from previous posts)

Vicario, Romero, Van de Ven, Bentancur, Odobert, Solanke, Richarlison, Moore

These are the players unavailable for today's game. How did we get into this situation for the second season running. In the Christmas period (with Europe now) again #COYS

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.

As much as we praise Kulusevski's exceptional technical ability and his seamless ability to navigate through players with a blend of skill and strength, we mustn't overlook the immense effort he puts in without the ball — both in defensive situations and with his relentless runs across the pitch.

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

Give Kulusevski freedom, and you’ll see him shine, just like he has all season. This was a big result and a much-needed 3 points.

We have work to do, but we are under the right coach to get it done. This team will get better and the numbers have shown it all season #COYS

Manchester City have demonstrated their vulnerability in defensive transitions

Kulusevski operating through the center would be ideal, but if Spurs actually start playing more “direct” (though I don’t believe it will happen), this could still work

Solanke > Isak

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

It’s something I think most people should consider doing. It doesn’t even need to be as detailed as mine—just jot it down in a notes app on your phone. Even if it’s something small, like tracking how many matches you watch from a particular league or team, or noting how often a player is MOTM

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.
