#FPL GW5: Rolled the FT. Xhaka autosubbed in for JP. 62 pts OR: 392K up to 160K Liverpool players did a bit better. Groß came to the rescue, not for 1st time. Safe Haaland captaincy was OK. Cherki got goal & BP. Holding back on WC for the moment. If a few injuries crop up on IB might change.

#FPL GW4: 80 pts OR: 287K down to 380K Could have been worse. Heavy LIV was a disaster - 10 pts from Szoboszlai, Wirtz & captain Isak. Cherki flop and only JP from CHE. Returns all round otherwise. Luckily, Groß & Gvardiol did very well. CS for FT Konsa.

#FPL GW4: This'll be it bar late team leaks. Early FT Shaw to Konsa to avoid the price drop. No chip and only JP from CHE. That could go badly. Captain Isak. Pretty looking team, stripy bench. (FPL question: Why is George Hemmings listed with his first name?)

#FPL GW1 Bench Boost Lots of first XI flops (avg 3.5 pts) while the bench worked wonders (avg 7.5 pts). It's a bit early for kneejerking and will roll into GW2 but MUN & LIV didn't impress so I doubt there will be 6 of those for much longer. OR inside top 400K. Big improvement on last season.

#FPL GW20: 1 FT available and a few doubts so Rice out, Trossard in. Didn't have any profit tied up in Rice so decision easier. O'Relly 50% disappeared off premierinjuries.com so he's back in the XI and Lacroix back on bench. Don't love the squad but nothing that screamed hit(s) or WC. Captain🤖
Ballroom Jam team for gameweek 20:

Raya
Timber, O'Reilly & Thiaw
Trossard, Bruno G., Wirtz, Foden & Semenyo
Ekitike & Haaland (captain)

#FPL GW19: 46 points OR: 2M19 up to 2M00 Free Hit used. Non-FH team would have scored 45. 1 pt gain but 1 less FT for GW20. A bit like the season so far - not a catastrophe but pretty poor and worst halfway rank in FPL (ignoring 2014/15 when I didn't have a team until the final few GWs).

#FPL After today, non-FH team would've had 30 pts from 5 played. FH team 23 pts from 6. A few in common in the remaining games so it's down to this. To break even with pre-free hit team, Matheus N & Szoboszlai have to outscore O'Reilly, Lacroix & Foden by 7 pts. Extra FT too if I'd burned it.

#FPL GW19: Free Hit played. 8 changes to the XI and 2 to the bench. 3xLIV 3xMUN 2xMCI 2xNEW 1xCHE Should be pretty differential but captaincy is back on Haaland. See if I can finish first half of the season with a decent GW.

#FPL GW18: 48 points OR 2M26 up to 2M20 Tiny green arrow. Returns for all 3 new players - Wirtz, Ekitike (c) & Rice. (Let's ignore the fact that 2 of the transfers out - Saka & Thiago also returned). Blanks otherwise apart from Semenyo. Team looks ok for GW19 but I've got my Free Hit to use.

#FPL GW18: Ready for the Boxing Day football extravaganza. St. Stephen's Day as we call it in Ireland or just Stephen's's Day. (with the extra 's) Oh just one player in the single fixture. Captaincy still on Ekitike (I think). bsky.app/profile/ball...

#FPL GW18: All 3 FTs used. Out: Saka, Szoboszlai & Thiago In: Wirtz, Rice & Ekitike Captaincy currently on Palindrome but might change to Haaland. Free Hit still available and it'll be GW19. Not given it much thought yet - let's see how things look after this GW.

#FPL GW17: 73 PTS OR: 2M08 down to 2M26 Small red in a GW where many have played a chip is ok. Double ARS defence, Semenyo, O'Reilly and Haaland (c) were the returns. 3/3 available FTs already used which saved a little budget. Happy Christmas/Solstice to all!
