All good things… Lovely to give #SaintEtienne a UK send off for (very likely) the final time…

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#fpl GW5 = 49 points and an OR of 1.3m. Not good, not terrible. Will wildcard at some point in the next 20 days. See you in October!

Definition of a middle of the road FPL team.

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

#fpl GW5 - not much time as off to see @bobpetesarah.bsky.social do their thing. MGW in for Wirtz. Hoping for a pre-IB push into the top million. Nothing can stop us! (Hopefully) #saintetienne

A team that is, er, hopefully not in a bad way.

1120

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

#fpl Nice 750k green arrow. Very steady stuff. MGW in for Wirtz the most likely move for GW5 and then it’s all change during the IB... Until next time.

0120

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

#fpl Bruno out, Palmer (c) in. OR: 2m, WC still due in GW6. The urge for a Calafiori hit has been resisted… May variance be kind to you all this week 😀

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

My niche GW4 #fpl dilemma… I have Raya but no other Arsenal defenders. I plan to WC during the international break. I need to play Thomas at home to Brighton. I have the funds… worth a hit for Calafiori (ie does he score 4 points more)?

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

#FPL I need to set up for GW3 today as heading away and no access to internet etc until post deadline. Will therefore miss team news et al so playing safe - will likely bring in Hall and Gross for Rodon and Tzolis (Thomas back on the bench). TC will go on the robot. What will be, will be.

A supposed FPL team which will likely red arrow this week. The joys!

040

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

#FPL Approx 5.3m green arrow so no complaints this week. 110 points, upto 2.2m. Some potential issues to address in GW3 include Rodon, Van Hecke and Tzolis. Not ideal, but will ponder some options.

090

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

#fpl Rational head - it’s a marathon, not a sprint; variance; in 10 mins it’s all out of my control. FPL head - how do this lot screw me for another 7.5m gameweek rank? Submitted with some residual post GW1 angst. Bruno (c)... ATB everyone!

0160

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

The view on poor early #fpl gameweeks is to ignore rank - and it’s sound advice. One extra small tip I have is to look at the LiveFPL website and keep tabs on how many points you are off the top 100k. I’m 42 off - that can be erased by a couple of good (lucky?) captaincies. Helps keep perspective 😀

250

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

#FPL I’ve had better opening gameweeks - a rank of 7.5m is hardly ideal - but will keep this lot of point dodgers for GW2. I was never going to bench boost but those wasted points are frustrating. And Wirtz feels like a forced error on my part but hopefully things pick up. Until next time…

1170

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

#fpl Here we go again. To paraphrase, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In that spirit, welcome back Wirtz 😀 Otherwise fairly template. No chips for the foreseeable. Good luck everyone!

0120

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

A warm evening, #fpl back up and running. Pondering the inclusion of Garner in GW1 squad and I get stung by a wasp. There’s probably a message in that. Namely, leave it for a couple of weeks.

030

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Following the Football Manager esque ‘let’s change the mentality setting to cautious’ disaster class this evening, my mood is immediately improved by seeing that S4 of Strange New Worlds starts next week. That’s a bonus #SNW

020

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Oh well, I hope Spain take Argentina to the cleaners (TBF, they would have done that to us)

030

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Hottest June day on record? What else to do on an evening like this but sit outside, have some Rioja and listen to Spacemen 3.

210

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

@supertrain.bsky.social I reckon this would have worked in the current SNW era… best of both worlds, even.

120

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

#fpl Pleased to get XI out and finish the season with a green and final rank of (approx) 52k. Delighted as it has been a strange/tough/frustrating slog of a season... variance has been kind to me since GW32. Enjoy the summer!

0120

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

#fpl GW38 madness. Bowen comes in for Pedro with my solitary transfer. Have avoided a hit - but it means Mane over Saka. The times we live in! Good luck all!

050

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Totally unplanned but watched the ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ which then prompted a long overdue listen to the Tears debut (and only) album which came out about a week later. A welcome blast of nostalgia all round.

110

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

#fpl So congrats to Arsenal and all that. But now GW38 could be a real pain to navigate. Until then, a welcome green - with (unlikely) thanks to Mane! OR: 71k

040

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

#fpl In this season, we take miracles when we can

030

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

#fpl GW37. Need 3 Arsenal but skint. Raya in, funded by DCL to Mane. Leaves me change for next week as well. A lot of EO etc covered so Mane is my mad (or unwise) bit of fun. Saka (c), 86k. Good luck all!

0120

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

#fpl A red arrow but damage duly limited thanks to DCL and Semenyo… and they may be the ones to go in GW37 (possibly eyeing KDH and Gyokeres) The top 100k mission stays on track… for now.

0100

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

#fpl 95% sure this is how I line up for GW36. Saka in for Palmer. Transfers are precious so will likely roll the other one and skip Palace... prefer to have them for next week’s fun and games. So this is aweek for clinging on. OR: 86k, 🤖 (c) good luck all!

0110

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

#fpl That felt like a slog of a gameweek. Hill does the heavy lifting for the (as it stands) smallest of greens. Until next time.

080

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

#fpl GW35. Gabriel in for Senesi, Hill ahead of Struijk (spread the risk/love). Thing I’m most looking forward to? Whatever fresh way Pedro can troll me this week. Good luck all OR: 86k

090

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Whacked down, basically I’m a hopeless romantic: Part One: Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths Get the Message - Electronic I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses Still Life - Suede Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order

140

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

#fpl Into the top 100k for the first time in a couple of years. Will take that. Free Hit does its job. Adieu, MGW and Bowen… Shame it’s back to Pedro once again. See you all very soon. OR: 86k

0100

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

#fpl GW34. FH - this is what a meagre team value allows. OR: 106k. Good luck all!

100

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

#fpl A decent week. Away with work so have had little chance to keep up. Something about barbers? I don’t know the rules but I guess, from a BB perspective, Van Hecke comes in for non-starter Pedro but that still leaves a 19 point BB and I’m happy. Until next time.

080

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

#fpl BB in play, Senesi in for Gabriel. Robot captain, OR: 243k. See you all on the other side 👍

A BB team that looks good as a screenshot… but will it deliver?

0120

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

#fpl Bench boosting - my only single GW players are Gabriel and Bruno. I have two free transfers. Considering Gab to Senesi. FH for GW34 and line up okay for GW5. Worth the transfer?

100

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

#fpl A third successive green arrow - that’s been a long time coming. See you for the BB! 58 pts OR:243k

58 of your finest FPL points please, landlord.

080

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

#fpl Wildcard time. Picks itself, would have fancied Mitoma but 0.1 short. After three weeks away, and with the state of things going on in the real world, I’ll just enjoy the ride (I’ve had Verbruggen for so long that I’m immune to the perils that may come). Good luck all OR: 254k

0110

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Late on the (inevitable) news about Salah. A proper footballing legend in our lifetime. Reds have been lucky to have him, we’ve all been lucky to watch him.

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

#fpl My excessive EO shielding/caution has resulted in a green. Albeit a rise of 139 places. But it’s a green. Wildcard to follow (I think), and a bit more adventure 😀

0100

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

#fpl So, for GW31 it is safety in (EO) numbers. Pedro in for the robot, Bruno has the armband. OR: 255k. Good luck!

070

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

#fpl Handy green arrow. Second best GW rank of the season… and no Semenyo pain next week. Spring is sprung 😀

0130

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

#fpl Long day ahead, limited time etc so will go with this and see where it lands. Captain Bruno, OR: 382k. Good luck

150

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

#fpl All out for 51. Bruno captaincy prevents a proper GW disaster. Will hopefully land at a rank of around 400k ahead of GW30… where I will bench Rogers, miss his haul etc etc You know the score…

140

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

#fpl Oh dear. With Semenyo and Pedro doing things I’ll need a second half Bruno (c) hattrick to reach safety…

000

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

#fpl At in-laws, need to be quick. About a minute to make changes. Not sure on state of players so Dango in (as cover) for a non-available Potts. Don’t know who may or not start but happy with 8 decent attackers until WC. Good luck all!

070

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

#fpl Best GW of my season. A lot of good fortune involved. Lord knows what comes next - I hear there may be some doubts. But for now I’ll take the green arrow and rank leap.

The boys’ done good, for once (FPL team with 90 odd points and a big green arrow).

0160

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

#fpl All day meeting means last minute transfers. Wilson in for Enzo, VVD for Timber. My recent transfers have not worked out, so apologies in advance if I have now cursed them for you. All I want is some returns! Good luck all. OR: 490k ish

0110

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

#FPL #GW27 Very much liking the refreshed LiveFPL site. Not liking another lack of FPL returns - tiresome! Another big drop means VVD will likely return to the fold for GW28. You have been warned! Until next time.

090

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Joao Pedro has scored 55 points over six gameweeks. In the six (‘good’) gameweeks I owned him, I got 15. And therein lies why this has been a season of tepid decline #fpl

030

Frank P @foxbasebeta.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

#BaldockBeast half marathon tamed. Least my #fpl charges can do is get some ruddy points as reward for their manager’s exertion 🏃

Baldock Beast medal - it’s a slog, but worth it. Unlike this season’s FPL
