Somewhere right now,
a song’s being uploaded that’ll never chart,
never trend,
and still mean everything to somebody.
That’s the good stuff.

Declan Rice and former manager David Moyes reunited after Everton and Arsenal faced off yesterday. The pair lifted the Europa Conference League trophy at West Ham in 2023 💜
Merry Christmas morning for all those celebrating the wrong day
For those who regularly use FPL Gameweek, today I found a feature I hadn’t noticed before.

Chapeau 🎩 @fplgameweek.com 👏
With Ange Postecoglou set to take over at Forest, we went back to look at some DEFCON data from his Spurs spell
His high line + pressing style generally created more DEFCON chances for opponents than for his own players 👇

The last 4 weeks Guehi was the poster child for how to contact yourself during transfer negotiations, he was the good guy for treating his club with respect.
Now look how his club are treating him after they make a feck up.

It’s not uncommon to see rankings for the best dribblers in the Premier League, but what about assessing how good players are when defending against them?
@mattfurniss.bsky.social looks at the best and worst from this season.

Fulham haven't managed three consecutive Premier League wins since December 2022.
It's a frustrating inconsistency that could prevent them fulfilling their potential, but Marco Silva could - somehow - still take them back into Europe.

1/9
Early in the season, Liverpool rode their luck a bit and got the best results that maybe weren't always that deserved.
I have some bad news...
They are getting better.
They turned early-season defensive stability into MASSIVE shot dominance recently.

AM chip thoughts
- 100% playing it in a dgw
- Ideally alongside 11 doublers (not a small dgw)
- Form team where owning 3 players is too hard/expensive/not viable long term
- Ideally without using FTs, just rawdogging one for 3 weeks
- targeting mix of good fixtures & table bonus potential

No. 1 in the World managed to hold on to top spot despite having a GW 20 rank of 8.7mil...
Just shows you that even the best can struggle now and again...
I think this is exactly it. Because you are not fed other accounts by an algorithm, it will look dead as some of the initial bunch you followed stop posting for whatever reason.
Keeping it fresh by following other accounts that show up here is important I think.
