I was ready to say that of course Palmer is making something more than exist because I sold him, but Rogers show me why he is better choice😂 FPL fun again🍻
That’s the Wildcard locked in. 🔒
The plan is set, the decisions are made.
Now let’s see how this team performs over the next few Gameweeks.
Back after the deadline with the results. 👊
Good luck to everyone!
🔒 Locked In — GW6🔒
Wildcard activated. 🃏
A few big decisions before the deadline:
1️⃣🧤 Goalkeeper setup
2️⃣🎯 Ødegaard vs Saka
3️⃣🔄 Vuskovic vs De Cuyper
4️⃣🧢 Captaincy
Here’s the team I’m taking into GW6. 👇
🧢 Captain: Rogers
I’m going with Rogers over João Pedro, who spent a long time flagged as a doubt with injury.
Ødegaard was also an option, but I’m not fully convinced the Leeds fixture will be an easy one.
Rogers gets the armband.
🃏 Why Wildcard now?
My team hasn’t delivered lately, and players I want are gaining momentum.
I can’t fit them in with transfers alone, so it’s time for a reset.
I’ll be back tomorrow before the deadline with my final team. 🔒
🧠 Thinking Out Loud — Wildcard🧠
Wildcard activated. 🃏
A few big decisions before the deadline:
1️⃣🧤 Raya + a £4.0m backup?
2️⃣🎯 Is Saka worth the risk?
3️⃣🔄 Leeds + Brighton rotation
Here’s where my head is at 👇
🔄 Leeds + Brighton
I already like how their fixtures complement each other.
Gross is on my radar, while I’m deciding between De Cuyper and Vuskovic.
I’m leaning towards Vuskovic, with Mitoma getting closer to a return and potentially affecting De Cuyper’s appeal.
🤔 As for GW6, I’m not sure yet.
Wildcard or not?
A lot will depend on how this GW goes and what happens during the international break.
For now, the focus is GW5.
Team locked. 🔒
Good luck everyone!
🔒 Locked In — GW5🔒
No Thinking Out Loud this week — I’m on holiday, so keeping things simpler. 😅
Here’s the GW5 team 👇
1️⃣ 🔄 Transfer
2️⃣ 🧢 Captaincy
3️⃣ 🪑 Bench decision
4️⃣ 🤔 What’s next?
🪑 João Pedro will start on my bench this week.
With the international break coming up, I’m hoping his absence won’t keep him out for too long.
Sangare comes in instead.
I’m not expecting a clean sheet, but I’ll take a DEFCON. 😂
🧠 My biggest takeaway:
The second half of a GW can change everything.
Leeds saved a big part of my weekend. 😂
Looking back at my GW1 team, I probably should have kept more Brighton assets.
Still, it’s early. I’m not writing this FPL season off yet. 👀
📊 GW4 Reflection
72 points.
Another red arrow overall, but I moved up one place in my mini-league. 👀
🧵 In this thread:
1️⃣ 🔄 Transfers
2️⃣ 🧢 Captaincy
3️⃣ 🧠 What I learned
#FPL
🧢 Captaincy was a little painful.
João Pedro’s points definitely hurt, but I don’t think the impact was huge.
Maybe sometimes the safer option is simply the better option. 😂
Something to keep in mind going forward.
