it's #FPL gameweek 10/38.
GW9 pts: 65

strong week. benched a Konsa 10-pointer but i have no regrets hedging against 3x defense vs. Liverpool.
no big drama this GW, so i'm rolling into the int'l break. Muharemovic good cover if Konsa misses out.
it's #FPL gameweek 9/38.

wild week. 7 of the XI scored 5 pts total.
for GW9: Joao Pedro (inj) ➡️ Nico Jackson. template, but good fixtures + form = no need to get cute.
rough fixture slate, so Cala + MDC in for attacking upside.
it's #FPL gameweek 8/38.

the slide continues. 5 goals for Brighton yet no De Cuyper involvement. DCL gets 9, Barry gets 2. Raya gets 9, Saka gets 3 + hurts himself.
two moves then: Saka, Kinsky➡️Mbeumo, Raya.
trusting the data.

Pascal Gross didn't get a 15-pointer for once... but Maxim De Cuyper did.
these two have murdered my rank for 6 weeks now, so i'm giving in.
Gibbs-White (injured) + Vuskovic > Gross + De Cuyper. (1/3)
i hate these moves. all underlying data suggests Gross + De Cuyper have been lucky — not to have scored, but to have scored *this much*. the two fixtures after this week are horrid, and they now play 2x a week. Gross is 35 and runs a ton. MDC is a long-term mins risk. (2/3) #FPL
i know neither will keep it up, and they're *so* highly owned that they carry no effective upside. but their selection % means anything they do can destroy my week, so i have to join the cattle to block them off. short-sighted, spineless, but the rational play for now. (3/3) #FPL

the good start finally died. was due.
yet i see no huge issues with this team. so, rolling. no obvious captain so backing MGW in a strong positional matchup. Pascal Gross can't keep getting 15-pointers, right?

10/11 returns for the 2nd time in 4 GWs, but only a small green. still lucky, just missing the big hauls.
Szobo > MGW for GW5. went early to avoid being priced out, but wouldn't have sold injured Pedro anyway.

red arrow isn't ideal when playing the 3x captain chip, but it was a good week to have a mediocre week. still in an excellent spot.
going aggressive + playing the wildcard for GW4. 10 changes. Pedro 🧢 (1/2)
attacking the fixtures. no Bruno stings, but Palmer + Saka has huge upside. Sangare out after mins concerns. 2x Arsenal + ceiling/DEFCON guys at the back. Rogers + Barry likely short-term plays, but £0.9m + 3 transfers saved leaves room to pivot. this feels right tbh. (2/2) #FPL
it's #FPL gameweek 3 / 38.
GW2 pts: 107

funny week. 10/11 guys returned, but no Bruno captain = red arrow.
no transfers again. 3x captain Haaland. only 1 Man City will prob hurt but the rest are massive mins risks.
🔜 Mbeumo/Rodon > Rogers/Konsa
it's #FPL gameweek 2 / 38.
had my best ever start in GW1. 86 pts on the bench boost. up to 31k rank out of 9.8 million.
no changes for GW2. rolling the transfer. only dilemma is Rodon vs. Ajer. close call, but taking the guy playing at home.
Haaland captain, not getting fancy.
