That or put em back with bonus & strip out already scoring things like g/a/cs, make goals 5 points regardless of position, maybe CS 5 too. Tbh would prob prefer that but yours would definitely be an improvement on the degree often bad defending or just playing a certain role in a system is rewarded
Well done mate. Happy new year. Another trophy each for Newcastle and Palace in 2026 🙂
The thrills of Miley & Potts watch just in case even KDH becomes a luxury too far are an underrated part of the game
On FH and no idea what I come back to 😂
Got nervous again just looking for a link 😂
Last game of the season, Palace were in administration & they played at Hillsborough. If Sheff Wed won they stayed up & we went down. Was 2-2. Think the relegation probably set Wednesday on the path of dodgy chancer owners. Zaha came thru youth team & one great window & we got promoted.
Obviously a lot of other water under the bridge since but that 2010 game feels like one of the most consequential matches in memory in terms of the paths it set the two teams on. There was every chance we got wound up if we'd lost. Good to see you coming back
Palace. Last few months been OK.
Same. Think I've probably benched all his returns. Facepalm emoji
As a Palace fan, dreading a knackered 1-0 defeat. Now you've gone triple Palace defence I somehow feel more confident!
I got VdB as a Gabriel replacement last week thinking he'd be a bit different. Looks like he'll be about 50% owned (on FPL social media)! He's got big shoes to fill. Pinnock's 15 pointer v Chelsea & Ajer on a FH once have been good to me.
Don't think of it as a free hit. Just do whatever transfers you'd do anyway & hit FH in a week where that's a -12 or more. You can still do the transfers again for an actual hit the next week if you still want all the same ones. Think of it as the free moment of reflection chip.
I'm 53 and very early on in that decided that I'm happy to die not having ever tied my shoes properly. I've got less time than you to worry about it at least.
Ha ha. Maybe I'll do a "from our foreign correspondent" update :)
Well, Ragabolly says "tomorrow"so we can eat the last chocolate in our FPL advent calendar & get ready for Ndiaye's red, Mateta's continuing Darwin tribute & Brighton falling to their annual random 7 goal defeat
Much the same. Arcade updates, relentless pointing to the weaknesses of popular players (currently Senesi), weather updates & fear mongering. Multiple "what's your rank, bro" responses. Still seems a nice chap but think his oeuvre needs high volume idiocy & there's less volume & fewer idiots here
Pretty much the main point of FPL Twitter now is Andy Martin v the average Twitter users. Bro.
Ah, the incomparable joy of waiting for Nick Woltenmade to go up in price so I can revert to who I had in the first place with £0.1m imaginary money in my pocket, solely redeemable against underwhelming fantasy football selections who'll score less than the big man.
Roll a fat one and play your wildcard. Can't fall off either way
Going against hype trains and finding players doing well but not being picked up is a big part of the game, surely. Having everything in the game totally ordered & predictable probably worse than the odd frustrating rise/fall.
I'm at a similar stage but only have 4 players from your squad (Dubravka, Muñoz, Palmer & Watkins) so in that respect I spose I "disagree". TBF guess it all falls into the category of "reasonable punts" at this stage. You need some trains! I guess a few of them are more popular here than overall tho
It's a funny one when players move on. You part want them to prove all you've said about them on a higher profile stage, half want your team to have had the best of them. And you don't want goals v you! Olise going to Bayern & doing well was about the sweet spot for me!
From the Ferguson era of Utd becoming good Mbeumo's got big Brian McClair vibes!
With an accompanying AI Brucie!
I think I just don't love chips full stop & preferred the ability to manage a squad well for 20+ week stretches without get out of jail free cards being an advantage. TBF it's been moving away that anyway & I don't really mind. Should add a cash your chips in feature for unused chips!
They need to nail the pricing & get lucky with there being no postponements. If that happens the first half chips might be a point of variety...tho everyone prob just copies Pras! The reverse is the most tediously template year ever (like the bizarre extra world cup WC into Brighton fixture pile up)
I'm a little bit worried about you hitting your quota of hits now you can change your team every other week anyway!
The first steps to the end of civilisation were when social media stopped being a collection of light word associations. Catalan technocrats to empire poets to cakes in three. The world is healing
