Policy and research… an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Running, hill walking, FPL, music, cricket, football.
Early #fpl #gw23 thoughts welcome on my (in the weeds) benching dilemma… one of Andersen (BHA - H), Aldereye (WHA - A) or Minteh (FUL - A) need to sit it out… but which one? (I’m leaning towards starting Minteh after this 30 odd mins this week)

Listening to some C Duncan. Wistful, melodic… sort of stripped down Bacharach vibes. Warms the cockles of my heart on a wet, dank day.

Worst GW rank ever (9.9m)… only 17 days after my previous worst ever GW rank. And it could have been a lot worse! Only way is up, surely?

Plugged in some numbers to @livefpl.net If Rogers, Bruno G and Thiaw do things then I’m looking at a potential 600k rank (265k at the start). Worse case, but helps manage expectations 😂

21 points from 8… And I had such high hopes for this GW. Oh well, some Lightbulb pale ale and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is welcome respite from the #fpl lottery.

Saka on the bench? Yet another pointless GW #dadjoke #FPL
January 17, 2026 at 4:28 PM
#FPL How do, GW22. Team feels a bit middle of the road this week… but keen on those transfers for 24. Would love to start Minteh but potential def cons put paid to that. Slow and steady and all that. Good luck all. OR: 265k
January 16, 2026 at 11:15 PM
#fpl The forwards and Def Con Tarki
aside, it‘s been a rather underwhelming GW21. Four reds in the last five GWs, things for me to ponder after the FA cup fixtures,
January 8, 2026 at 10:27 PM
#fpl GW21 - Tarkowski in for VvD. Was tempted to roll but have made my peace on missing any bullet headers… Feels like a back to earth gameweek post Rice/Thiago heroics. OR 209k, good luck all!
January 6, 2026 at 5:47 PM
A lot of lost ground recovered, for which I am grateful. VvD likely out before the next deadline but not going to rush a decision.
January 4, 2026 at 8:24 PM
#fpl #GW20 then. Verbruggen in for Raya to make space for Gabriel (in for Guehi). No hits taken, would be tempted if I could find someone for Minteh/Rice… but happy for the bench to step in. My expectations are once again incredibly low but I’m drinking a nice rum so all is well.

#fpl 9.5m game rank. Worst I’ve ever had. And a bunch of garden centre games to boot. On that note, Happy New Year!
January 1, 2026 at 10:07 PM
Arsenal find a way to destroy my rank when I don’t have their players… and also when I do. It’s quite the #fpl thing 🤷
December 30, 2025 at 10:13 PM
#fpl #gw19 Half way point! Need to arrest a slow rank decline but I fear the last batch of chips this GW will scupper that. Travelling, so this is how I will likely line up. Rolling a transfer, hoping for a green! Good luck all

OR: 323k

#FPL Ekitike welcomed into the fold in a bid to recover some lost ground. Expectations, as ever, remain managed. Good luck all! #GW18

#FPL #GW17 An 85k rank loss this week. Ekitike already in for Bruno, Potts for Guiu. Merry Christmas!

Red Arrow? Bruno still to come? Deep breath… #fpl

This feels like one of those bonkers gameweeks. Never thought Rice would save me from the total depths but here we are #fpl
December 21, 2025 at 12:41 AM
Damn. Just checked on the scores… This could be one of those 8-10m Gameweek ranks… #fpl
December 20, 2025 at 4:35 PM
#fpl No alarms, no surprises, as the song goes. Rolling (2 free transfers for next week, lucky me). And against chips etc so playing very safe. Def con has played a part in my thinking. But no shame in that. Good luck all!

#fpl Dilemma time… which one of these fellas do I bench? I’m leaning towards JCVH as I would kick myself for missing a Virgil return… Hmm.
December 17, 2025 at 10:50 PM
#GW16 #fpl All 5 transfers gratefully received and used. Glad to have some Arsenal outfield coverage… otherwise it’s slow and steady… Good luck all!

Praise be! Raya gets a save point #fpl #Christmasmiracle
