Used to be better at FPL than I am now...

What even is the pre-game walk? I'm imagining a spiritual journey from Woolwich to Islington to celebrate their history...

I'd have had the same points without the transfer last time out (De Cuyper off bench instead of Barry), so wishing I hadn't sold JP now, but sticking with the same crew this week.

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Yes, hard to predict which way City go. And this week's fixture hardly screams "must-have".
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Well, the other striker is Haaland, so will most likely stick!

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Nice. I have JP fear now, didn't think he'd play this week. Would you swap Wissa or Barry to him, despite their nice fixtures, or just ride it out?

Mine are 16 and 14 and still managed to bring back a cold from school to infect me!

My feeling is Liverpool tear them a new one.

I doubt City will be anywhere near winning the title for a good long while now. They are surely going to be hit hard. It's more of a question whether they survive at all in their current form, surely?
110
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Yeah, you just got to leave those titles unawarded. It's a minefield trying to decide who would've won the title if City hadn't cheated anyway.

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Surely the most important thing that has to happen in the Man City case is that their owners are disallowed from any future involvement in football.

GW5. JP -> Barry (1/2). Not the best 11 this week - considered FH, but decided against in the end.
060
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
He's definitely out tonight, right? That's the only thing stopping me pulling the trigger for Barry right now.
110
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Pleased to see someone swapping JP out. So many seem to be benching him.
110
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
More inclined just to transfer him out for now then. Who's to say he's completely ready even after the international break.
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
FH5 is tempting me too. Will wait to see if there's anything more on JP tomorrow though.
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I'd be tempted to just switch him to Barry and go ahead with it.
000
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Trouble is if he's pulled out of the squad, he definitely won't play this week
110
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I've got de Cuyper first bench - could be worse, but I'm very tempted to switch to Barry for the next two.
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I wonder also if price changes on the site means you get more of a feedback loop effect with people selling to avoid drops.
110
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Vice is on JP btw, not Bruno.
000
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Awful first week after wildcard, but we plough on. Done Cherki -> Palmer as planned, and thought I'd TC Palmer this week, because why not.
170
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Yeah, neither is bad. I'm just looking for reasons... interesting to know who is on pens for Everton.
100
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Also Isak seems pricey for a striker not on pens (we think).
000
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
It's tough, I think I like A more, but it's perhaps just because I'm not sure about using an Arsenal slot on Odegaard!
200
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not sure I've ever been in doubt between those 2!
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
tbh I always hit the wildcard before making the transfers. I'd rather not be in danger of forgetting to activate it.
120
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I think this is my wildcard team. I know the popular move is losing Bruno, and I know keeping him kills my defence, but I'm just not sure I can do it. (Cherki -> Palmer planned in for next week, with 0.3 to spare.)
020
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I'm doing the Cherki -> Palmer shuffle fwiw
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
I think I've decided to wildcard, having now missed tons of price rises. But I feel it's a decent chance to get ahead on transfers, while retaining 2 frees, and to lose players I don't want who are looking like dropping in price.

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Not sure how much these EOs matter at this stage. For now I am cheering on all my players!

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
GW 2. No transfers, Bruno cap again.
070
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
My favourite - no need to worry about Saturday morning leaks and stuff.
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Worth holding for the next game anyway - after that, who knows...
110
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Why have they subbed off two of their centre backs?
000
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Hah yes, fiso and then also totalfpl.

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
I remember those days well, the Jonty days! The scoutcast was so good to listen to - more innocent times...
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Ooh, nice unusual team. And a rare fellow Virgil owner.
110
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Decided I was spending too much on keepers, so saved 0.5 and went for Virgil.
000
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Think I'm on this, with BB1. Le Fee against double Ipswich defence ain't ideal, but can't have it all.
120
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
If they're that good having one must surely be better than having zero!
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Agreed. If Arsenal keep a clean sheet, then having one of their players seems a good thing. And hope your other choices can cover the extra.

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
Current BB1 draft:
000
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Started vaguely looking at BB1, to get it out of the way, but I don't want to book in an early wildcard. Maybe something like this. McBurnie against double Man U defence is an issue though.
000
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Not bothered with a draft yet, because it's still weeks away and I like a proper break from it, but looking at some shared teams on the timeline, it does seem simple enough to include both Haaland and Bruno and still have a decent squad overall.

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
Rayan Ait-Nouri?
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
He was in my autopick team - not sure how generally true that was, but could potentially skew things.

James @jimski01.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
Friday night deadlines are always my favourite. Wish they had those every week. But what to do with midweek rounds, I'm not sure.
010
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
Seeing all the obsessive ownership checking for WC fantasy (which I'm not playing, incidentally) makes me feel the whole thing is definitely a bad idea.
130
James @jimski01.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Wouldn't everyone just leap on the same few players, thus taking them above 5% almost immediately?
