Accountant, coffee lover, grey-haired gooner & FPL obsessive. 20/21 OR 7,414, 21/22 62,632, 22/23 3,861, 23/24 18,893. Using this to document my thought process

@LetsTalk_FPL I’m thinking of downgrading Palmer to fund a move for Gyokeres. Which of these midfielders do you think is the best option: Szoboszlai, KDH or Ndiaye?

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@FPL__Raptor Instead of the straightforward Palmer to Saka, I’m thinking of downgrading Palmer to fund DCL to Gyokeres. But who should I replace Palmer with: Szoboszlai, Ndiaye or KDH? It seems many prefer Ndiaye over KDH, but KDH has more points in fewer games/minutes.

@FPL_TomHadley Ah ok. Thanks Tom.

@robtFPL @SolioAnalytics Why does Ekitike have a different number of points in the list vs the chosen XI?

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@FPL_Harry Planning and patience are easy ways to win vs impulsive “casuals” who don’t look past this week’s fixtures and last week’s scorers, but the fun part isn’t winning because you didn’t take an impulsive -4. The fun part is making transfers and seeing them succeed.

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@FPL_Harry I play various fantasy games across multiple sports. Despite my history of success thru planning and being patient, the game I have stayed most engaged with is the one that gives me the most transfers and requires least planning. The quickest win would be making it 2 FTs per GW.

@Phantomantle @Jumpthewave Hi Gary, which is the better FPL pick for the next 2 weeks only - Neto or Estevao? Thanks.

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@FPLGeneral Best mids under £7.9m for next 2 weeks only (WC13)? I’m done with Gordon. Already got Sarr and Enzo. Neto and Estevao are tempting for Chelsea’s good fixtures but both seem quite risky.

@MedioVoIante @FPL_Kante I haven’t owned Semenyo at all this season and probably won’t for another few weeks.

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@PlanetFPLPod Newcastle and West Ham have not shown much in terms of attacking output so far, but are their talismen (eg Gordon, Bowen) worth a go for the next 5 weeks over those in better form (eg Semenyo) or with better underlying stats (Mateta)?

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@PlanetFPLPod Semenyo has thrived as the Bournemouth talisman through their nice fixture run, but how fixture-proof do we think they (and he) are now they’re going into a tougher run, and is it worth going against for now, particularly if WCing 13?

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@FPLSchaden This is great. A quick (and maybe stupid) question do the season-long projections in these tables include goals already scored? Eg if Semenyo has already scored 6 goals, he’s projected to score another 8.75 for a season-long total of 14.75?

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@LawrenceBrookes @FPLGeneral I made no transfer in the final GW because I was level on transfers with my closest rival and was only ahead by single digit on points. Thankfully I won on points anyway but it was close!

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@lateriser12 @Pras_fpl @ZopharFPL Considering the number of high-scoring players from teams in the bottom half (eg Cunha, Bowen, Munoz, Bruno), that didn’t qualify for Europe (BRE, BOU) or that overperformed their xGD/xPoints (NFO), how do you guys feel about the “good players from good teams” mantra?

[FPL Bean Counter @FPLBeanCounter]

@LawrenceBrookes @FPLGeneral If you’re level on points the team that has made fewer transfers wins.
