A lovely couple of days at the Dunhills golf championship in Scotland. Very enjoyable watching golf, seeing the sights and enjoying to local hospitality with good company.

2 horrendous gameweeks in a row now in #fpl so glad for the international break to take stock. Its only 5 gw's in but starting to feel like the premiums just ain't worth the big bucks, Bruno in particular. 🤔 A special shout out to Pascal Groß ⭐ who is keeping my season somewhat respectable.

#fpl is such a fun game. Hoping to try and get double digit points this week but not looking good. 😬

FFS 🙈🙈 off after 18 mins with a hamstring strain. This gameweek can get in the bin

You owe me some #fpl points after last week Mr Porro (and I badly need them after Sangare's Nil pointer last night)

GW5 #fpl team ready. 🌎 1.4m ⬅️ Dedic ➡️ Muñoz ©️ Haaland Dedic's injury made the transfer simple, I wanted to roll but with Joao Pedro also likely to be out means I am light on the bench, so brought in Muñoz who I am hoping can resume his old form at Forest. Good luck all, see you in 3 weeks. 👍

Is Liverpool selling Coutinho to Barcelona for £146 million the ultimate sale of cashing in on a player before their value went through the floor? Any other sales that were similar? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

GW4 #fpl team ready. 🌎 1.3m ⬅️ O'Reilly ➡️ Porro ©️ Palmer Brought Porro in for O'Reilly before his price drop, I think Spurs will improve in the coming weeks and Porro looked sharp last week. Captaincy was a close call between João Pedro, Palmer & Haaland but went with 🥶 Good luck all 👍

#UCLFantasy team ready. A fun format similar to the World Cup fantasy game. Starting with Guirassy as captain for the first night, if he hits 13+ I will stick. Good luck to anyone playing.

GW3 of #fpl done, 52 points & a red arrow it is. Felt like a TC fail with Haaland only getting the one goal but now the dust has settled I will take it as he saved my gameweek from being a total write off. Will see how O'Reilly is but plan to just roll next week.

Strange that my auto sub of Konsa in for O'Reilly has not kicked in yet in #fpl? 🤔 Everyone else the same?

GW3 #fpl team is good to go. 🌎 1.2m ⬅️ Rodon ➡️ Dedic ©️ Haaland (TC) After last week's carnage of been on the wrong side of Bruno captaincy, I need a nice steady game week. With lots of FHs and WCs in use this week I will use my TC on Haaland for this reason (as they cannot). Good luck all 👍

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
What do #fpl folk think about this guy's mins after the influx of new signings? He feels like a sell to me after this week given where he has been played in the first two games, or am I overthinking it?? 🤔

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Any #fpl folk looking to wildcard in the coming weeks should check out the highlights of Chelsea v Brighton. Yalcouyé for Brighton was very impressive for a £4.5 mid in FPL. I get he would have minutes managed but will be popular in wildcard squads I'd imagine at that price.

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Although it stings to see my #fpl team drop like a stone as a non Bruno captainer, the game does feel more enjoyable this season rather than everyone having the same team and strategy.

#fpl GW2 team ready. 🌎 1.1m 🍟 Wildcard ©️ Haaland Smitten by Palmer's performance last week, I hit the wildcard just so I could get him. Very knee jerky but hope this team stands me in good stead for the long term. Don't fully trust Man Utd so Haaland gets the armband. Good luck all 👍

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Turns out drinking beer and making #fpl decisions is not a great mix as I went and hit the WC button last night. I have this currently so at least I am set up for the long term. I can downgrade Bruno if need funds elsewhere. Thanks for your help Birra Moretti.

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I will 99% stick to plan in #fpl to get to GW6 and wildcard then if needed once international break is done and we have a good lay of the land...but given how good Ødegaard and Palmer looked and how shit Man Utd were I am VERY tempted to just WC and go for this before price rises go crazy 🤔

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
GW1 in #fpl done. 64 points all in, nothing special but will take it with 6 players blanking including my captain. Based on what we seen at the weekend I am very tempted to swap Mbuemo out for Ødegaard but will most likely leave it.

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
If you had a poor GW1 in #fpl do not fret and rip up your team, it's a long road to GW38. Here is a quote from last year's winner Erik Ibsen to emphasis just that. "I didn't start well and was eight millionth in the world after week one, whereas the person who came second was in the top 100."

Dream team #fpl ready to go. ©️ Bruno Going big at the back for now, very uncertain with this and always feel like Dream team could do with a wildcard chip. Will aim towards getting more players with European games from this week. Good luck everyone 👍

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
GW1 of #fpl is here. ©️ Bruno Many drafts but ended up here. With so much uncertainty with new managers, transfers and a monster international break around the corner, I have gone for a team & plan to get me to GW6 in one piece. 🤞 Will decide on chips once the chaos settles. Good luck everyone 👍

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
#fpl take: I think lots of people are underestimating the chaos the international break is going to cause. Wildcards before GW 6 feels super risky. Brazil play twice over in Australia while England play FOUR Nations league games, the last on is on the Tuesday night before GW6. Could be carnage.
010
Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
So after tinkering away I have 3 options for #fpl. The overall thinking is to have a squad to get me to GW6 as transfer window will be closed, european games will be underway and the 3 week international break will be done so proper info to build a wildcard then. So here are the options...

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Feels like Im playing anti #fpl with 4 Coventry players on my bench now Rushworth has moved over. Any injuries in my squad now though and the game will force me to transfer one of them out.

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
Feel pretty locked on this for #fpl. Attacking Coventry to keep a clean sheet against Hull makes sense to me (obviously risky) and gets the BB out of the way. In GW 3 I would sell Rushworth and Dogu for Foden and any 4.0 keeper and go from there. Hopefully Coventry get the Rushworth deal done asap.

All Ireland football final today. For anyone in the UK its on BBC2 NI (Sky channel 969) at 3:30pm. Kerry v Mayo is a David v Goliath final, Mayo are the Spurs of GAA when it comes to silverware but with everyone writing them off I have a feeling they might just do it today.

#fpl first draft of many no doubt. I thought they might have got the pricing right this year but nope, that's not the case.

Joe Dixon @dixonjoe78.bsky.social · 22/07/2026
Hard to say for certain but #fpl might have nailed the prices this season in that we are unlikely to see one main template given how hard it will be to own lots of premiums. Just had a play around on fpl.team site and soon realised I'll struggle to own Bruno, Palmer & Haaland for example. 🤔

It was so nice watching a game of football that was end to end and full of goals. Actually entertaining. I would love football to tweak their rules to encourage more goals. No points for a 0-0 would be a start and a bonus point if you score 3 or more goals would be a help. Thoughts??

Awful game of football, Argentina a very poor side but England went into their shell rather than go for the jugular and got punished. If I was an England fan I'd be fuming

England players need to keep their heads here (I'm looking at you Pickford & Anderson). They are a better team if an actual football game can break out.
