Decision for Haaland and Salah so far paid off.
Reijnders v Anderson? Get them both 🤷🏼‍♂️

1 week gamble on Bowen didn’t pay off.

🧢: Haaland
🌍: 728,928
✅: Reijnders
❌: Bowen

@smarkets what on earth have you done to your website? It is horrific and unusable!
How do I just see back and lay odds like normal or like the app?

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

Anyone got any thoughts on these?

World Cup fantasy questions:

🇪🇸 - Is Llorente a lock at RB?
🇧🇷 - Is Douglas or Sandro the LB for Brazil or will they rotate?
🇧🇷 - Wesley is the preferred RB but is Danilo likely to start some games?
🇲🇦 - who starts ST? Rahimi, El Kabbi? Is Saibari a Lock - either ST or CAM?

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

@FPLMate Is it a possibility he does start?!

Even if he doesn’t start, with the sub features in WC fantasy he is a no brainer? Will get minutes and maybe score

@MarkOHaire @hapless_fpl How do you ‘simulate’? Python script?
What are your inputs on probabilities?

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

@PoissonCapital Do you always let run, or do you green up/trade out at some point?

Why do you use Betfair rather than say, Smarkets, where commission is lower (you can get 0%) ? Is liquidity better in your experience?

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.

Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ...

The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.

That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.

Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.

Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.

@clubgame - when we get to the knockout stages of the world cup will Manny only offer players still in the tournament or could it be anyone?

(Ie should I save coins for loans until knockouts to fill gaps?)

@BitcoinIntelX PSG 2-0 Arsenal

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

@FPL__Courtney I suspect Kolasinac, Rios and Akturkoglu all start. But Lagerbielke doesn’t.

Turkey striker is best one to keep

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

@FPL_TomHadley Do you think Oyarzabal takes ahead of Yamal if both on the pitch?
Thinking back to nations league, Yamal took them and I think the star boy will pull rank

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

@GameweekGuru Everything points to Oyarzabal being absolutely locked. Scored and assisted in nearly every game leading up to the World Cup. Trusted with pens.

@FPLFella @clubgame You’ve got musiala, what are you moaning about?! 🤣🤣🤣

Every journalist is dribbling through 1-2 names of players who have made it to the England squad. It’s like a treasure hunt trying to figure out what the actual squad is.

Just release it earlier. Why does everything need a here we go moment.

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

@jsaywardjones Ah yes! Thanks

[FPLDrogba @FPLDrogba]

@jsaywardjones Is this only on 365?
