Will this be on Apple Podcasts? Looking for something to listen to on my run in the morning

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

No Bruno. Lots of bench points. Starting the Spurs GK. Still only doubled my rank and only an 11-point red arrow. Really want to WC to try to fix some things but going to try to roll just to be patient! I was in the 2+ million bracket for a long-time last year

Nice dude! Unbelievable week. That's awesome! What was the FT?

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I hate everything about myself for owning and actually playing the Spurs keeper two games in a row. I am clearly influenced by the FPL mob. I knew I should just BB1 with a non-playing keeper. I want to take just take a -4 to rid myself of this situation. Feel like I have never owned 🤖 at 100%+ EO

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I have wanted to avoid BB1 since it feels like I am catering my whole strategy to like 8 points, and I would really like to go crazy with triple ARS def with Raya, but this seems to be viable and not pigeonhole me too much

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

O'Reilly & Walle Egeli OR Ballard & DCL? I have not had DCL in a draft until today but makes the BB1 much better. Hoping for a 17-point spike from one of Ballard or Harrydinho as they start the first 2 GWs, and then one of them is likely moved on for O'Reilly. BB1, TC3. Leave WC & FH. 0.5 ITB

my most recent screenshot on my phone with Isak...I have way too many screenshots on my phone currently

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I find myself with both Gross and Gomez, but then that scares me with their two games on the next two Thursdays (and them just not being used to the Thurs/Sun

100

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I have had Sangare in every draft until listening to the Brentford correspondent on @planetfplpod.bsky.social who seemed to have doubts over him being integrated immediately. Thinking Brentford is slow to integrate new guys. He will be FPL relevant but maybe slightly less so at the start?

130

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

You like Isak or Semenyo more to start? It feels like a decision is 6m fwd with semenyo or a 5.5m mid with Isak

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Great thread - I have essentially taken Bruno out of my draft over the last week. I am not trying to require myself to WC early and I am happy to take those first couple of games on the chin with hopefully some fun other picks. Today was the first day of adding Isak for me...still debating

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

My wife and kids say it's like I am listening to little gerbils playing and talking when @planetfplpod.bsky.social or @aboveaveragefpl.bsky.social or @whogottheassist.bsky.social comes on at 2x speed in the car

040

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I don't know him ( @planetfplpod.bsky.social ) or Suj or Nico or really any other FPL content creator at any less than 2x speed (I sometimes slow down to 1.75 for chip podcasts if I want to jot a note or two down haha) Agreed on Hull! I know very little there

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

The truth - I am 7.5 for 8 thus far (2x speed - got a few minutes left of Hull). It's so good

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

For sure - I just wasn't sure on his xmin. Last 7 games last year: 20, 87, 74, 75, 15, 80, 74. So that is 60 minutes per game - not what I am spending 8 mil on. What do we expect his minutes to be in those 2 games? 80 and 80?

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Why are we feeling so good on Mbuemo? Does he seem better at 9 or just more guaranteed minutes?

100

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

How bad for Minteh's injury? Is Sesko playing at all or injured?

100

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Like this a lot! I am leaning toward triple defense as well but may try to fit Gabriel in, just not knowing how secure Cala is with Hincapie right there

100

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

You also said to aim for 16 points like a normal double Dubravka (H) v. TOT - 3? Garner (H) v. LEE - 4? Reinildo (A) v. WHU - 6? Mane (A) v. MCI - 2? That's 15 without anyone having a "stellar" gameweek

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Considering bench boost this week with Dubravka (H) v. TOT Garner (H) v. LEE Reinildo (A) v. WHU Mane (A) v. MCI How big does DGW33 seem? Would we have a full team of those doubling after WC32? I know you said there is obviously a ton of info to learn as FA Cup rounds go by

Any news on Robert Sanchez for this GW?

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

4 straight poor GWs after 7 good ones. Feeling very streaky right now. Wish I would have done Saka out and not Rice, but Arteta strikes again with his pre-match press conference. Happy: have 5 Def I like with good CHE fixtures and reasonable EVE Unhappy: lost all momentum in MID and FWD

#GW17 #FPL All chips used OR: 2012 C: The Robot 1 FT: Bruno G > Semenyo 2 FT Rolled Enjoy the 8 games today! #FPLUSA #FPLUSA Silver

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

101 all out. Almost into the top 2k. The Wilson and Chalobah punt worked well: +20 on those two moves. Also brought in Tarko for Munoz in preparation for GW18 Surprisingly, WC13 has been super effective despite holding it to focus primarily on LIV and NEW Debating rolling or staying aggressive

120

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Now that we have gotten past officially having the 5 transfers and AFCON players leaving, what are the likely doubles coming? Any chance like last year where we would benefit from 4-5 transfers come GWs 24-25? Trying to decide how aggressive to be in coming weeks

000

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

A couple more weeks like last week, and you are there! Only 30 points

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Brentford is great! I heavily considered that as well but just didn't see super strong results from either (obviously fixtures can make form). They have each only scored over 4 points twice in 15 weeks. Just gambling on a 2-week spike with Chalobah (also probably not starting him against NEW)

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Also, banking on us both getting in the top 13 in the @fplusaleagues.bsky.social #silver league to keep moving up #FPLUSA Silver

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

It could reasonably be RB - White RCB - Timber LCB - Hincapie LB - MLS ...aka no one who started at that position prior to the most recent game (when we weren't good - gave up more than 2 XG for the first time in forever) and only one normal starter

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Saw some discussion of double ARS DEF for this week - I know it is Wolves but the defense is SO much different without both Saliba and Gabriel - if Saliba is back, then a double up is reasonable but good luck knowing who plays when

100

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Prior to the injury, I was set with Munoz like I was with Gabriel - he starts every week. But I have both him and Lacroix on the bench. I went Chalobah for a two-week punt before going Tarko in GW 18. Virgil feels like the hardest one - will play every game, almost scores regularly but chaos @ LIV

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

These are great charts! Great little debate on @aboveaveragefpl.bsky.social about whether you can win FPL having these guys - they help ensure a great rank but do they help you get to the top

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

And the greens are coming soon! Stay patient. What are you thinking with the 5 transfers?

000

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Yeah that's such a bummer - I did the game earlier in the year where he got like 2 returns in the las tminute. I feel like I was the only one on WC13, which brought in much luck with Foden. I did WC too early last year and regretted it so kept to @pras-fpl.bsky.social's preseason hype of GW13

020

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

So much of FPL feels like luck of bringing in the right people at the right time. Foden over Bruno on WC13. Bring in Bruno this week after a 2 week punt on Rogers. Bruno G goal from a corner. Feels like being aggressive at Christmas time has been a good practice for me. Trying Harry Wilson this week

020

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

Also bummed to not be owning some WOL assets for the upcoming period but seems like a no go

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

The most grey arrow on Free Hit. Frustrated slightly - went for punts with BRI and AVL, just picked the wrong two. Would have been a great green arrow. Mostly did the FH to avoid having to make my ARS decisions yet - seems like Timber and Saka are inevitable for me. Gyokeres seems like a no go

010

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

I love that you are lifting up some West Ham players on the podcast - enjoying owning Bowen. Not sure about owning Diouf though - you can talk me out of doing him to Timber this week haha. How are you feeling about Bruno? Debating Bruno to Saka but not sure if that will just be a bland lateral move

220

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

I am sitting here grateful that I have taken 3 price drops on Bowen so that far less people are racking up his points with me

000

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Saved 0.5 to navigate some aggressive changes I want to make in the weeks ahead. Leaning a little more on the 4-4-2 to start and aiming to have the "best"/strongest fixture captain for the opening weeks.

000

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Josh King is 100% in my GW1 team - maybe not starting though...thanks @planetfplpod.bsky.social

100

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Agreed. I really want to spend less defensively but I don't know how to avoid Gvardiol (assume 6.5) and Gabriel (assume 6.5). Will be interested to see MLS, Raya, Saliba, Gabriel pricing. Is Hinshelwood likely a DEF next year?

110

FPL Surfshop @fplsurfshop.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

MLS is interesting - wonder what his price will be (5.0? 5.5?). He has very little offensive output w/ Arteta operating either at left back or as the deepest-lying midfielder by inverting. Will Hinshelwood be a DEF? DEF - Wan-Bissaka, Dorgu MID - Odegaard if 7.0 (should be fitter) FWD - Larsen
