Geraint Owen @geraintowen.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Solid but unspectacular in a high scoring week. Thankful I swerved the Palmer triple captain. Nico O'Reilly hiding on the bench and may become a problem #FPL 020
Geraint Owen @geraintowen.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Here's the make-it-last-til-Spring wildcard. Foden stays for one more week, and then becomes Palmer. #GW3 #FPL 020
Geraint Owen @geraintowen.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Here we go again. Ndiaye transfer rumours led to a last-minute hokey-cokey. Palestra is an anti-Defcon protest signing. #FPL 0110
Geraint Owen @geraintowen.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I think the #FPL team is finally set. Watching the Pep documentary made up my mind on going for the no Haaland strategy (for the first couple of weeks anyway). 041
