@Pras_fpl@BarrySGFPL Is Rice & Haaland > Salah(c) & Jimenez for a -4 too punty?
I think I can get away without taking a hit to get 11 out in 31. But it’s close.
Got some Palmer punt points. Huzzah.
Gordon, Foden & O’Riley to Fernandez, Tavenier & Munoz in 24 is going to feel so cathartic….. Picture Andy Dufrane in Shawshank.
Agree with a lot of this.
Rank matters, but it’s not why I listen to Pras. The 13-year 100k streak and 8-year 50k streak are good, but that’s never been the selling point for me. It’s his thinking, how he weighs pros and cons, reads team-dependent situations, zooms out to the bigger picture, and explains things clearly without overcomplicating. That skill doesn’t disappear just because a season goes wrong. (And no.. I am not paid to say that nor I know him personally)
If I had to choose between listening to someone in top 10k now who can’t convey ideas properly, versus someone 2m (or even 5m) who can, I’d pick the latter every time. Content creation isn’t about rank-boasting, it’s about sharing ideas. People still make their own decisions. It was never meant to be blindly copied (which a lot still do, and probably cursing Pras for putting them where they are now).
The acceptance part as well. Too many content creators abandon their process after a bad run. They blame luck, declare the season dead, and start playing recklessly. Acceptance isn’t quitting. It’s recognising you can’t rewind decisions, only make the best ones from here.
And on sympathy part, I get it. I’ve felt the same as a marathoner. Once in a while we fail to finish a race due to injury or eating the wrong stuff a day before. “Chin up” “come back stronger” these comments rarely help, they often make it feel worse.
But sharing bad moments (not just good GW or good end of season rank like many often selectively do), already deserves respect. I get that.

@Pras_fpl@sky_valley87 In the same boat entirely. Down in the 2.5m range. Never been here before and feels bizarre and pretty helpless.
The cherry on the cake was Gordon being subbed off mins before NEW finally get a peno. Which of course Bruno took.
Summed my season up beautifully
