It’s another way of saying team value means nothing.

Team value means jack all this season. For example, I have crazy team value and I can afford this team but I’m doing very mediocre:

Andersen has goal threat though. Remember you got goals from Saliba in back-to-back games….

cool, that’s all the confirmation bias I need.

Aside, would you start Rogers or Enzo this week?

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 29/12/2024
Surely Raul over Amad?

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 22/12/2024
Only yourself to blame. If you look closely West Ham is the easiest fixture of the lot.

The caveat is that saving up to 4/5 free transfers requires sacrificing some short terms points (and some team value too) so you can’t really call that a benefit.

This is hilarious. So you save all your transfers just to use them to get to the same team as everyone else. And now you are many points behind and lagging in team value. This clearly shows that rolling for the sake of rolling is not the way to play FPL.

The 0.3-0.4 swing in team value could then lead to a 20-30 pts swing in the assistant manager chip. Who knows? Good team value is highly underrated. Could be the difference between Trent vs Van Dijk which could be a 20 pt swing.

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
These moves are arguably worth the hits. Robinson is probably the best 4.7m option over the next few weeks. Likely to outscore other options by 4 or more points Amad is also a slight upgrade over Rogers. The price changes alone could be a 0.3-0.4M swing.

You’re taking on Saka, Trent and Jackson.

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 16/12/2024
You’re about 8 gameweeks behind in your thinking. I knew as soon as Semenyo only scored 9 pts combined vs LEI + IPS in GW6 and GW7.

Salah and a cheapie is still better than Mbeumo + Bruno

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
oh then probably yes

You mean for next week?

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
Solanke had SOU so obviously not

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
Havertz to Isak the easiest move of the century
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
and yet you didn’t bring in Isak….
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
Elite managers know how to transfer good assets for better assets. Sure Havertz had EVE but a BETTER asset in Isak had a BETTER fixture in LEI. This is what separates top 10k managers from top 100k managers.

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
Is this before or after using 4 FTs?
000
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
Definitely a skill issue. You have multiple frees and yet you refuse to use them to make your team better. The rolling of up to 5 frees has definitely got to your head. You value saving transfers over getting actual points 😂😂😂 It’s actually hilarious. I’ll sit back and watch my green arrows
050
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
hahah classic. Another manager who values saving transfers over getting actual points. Should be ok after you use all 4 transfers lol.

Narrator: They were not fine.

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 14/12/2024
Do free transfers carry over through a free hit?
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 13/12/2024
There is one caveat. Don’t read too much into the underlying data because Fulham hasn’t played Liverpool yet and Brentford has played Liverpool already.

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Being reactive to new info and not stubborn is also a very difficult skill. Ask all the patient Haaland holders sitting in the millions. I see an opportunity to transfer an out of form Cunha to an in form Isak. Yes I’m selling Cunha before two great fixtures but I’m GAINING an even better player

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
FPL is an outcome based game though. Simply put, more points = higher rank = better FPL player

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
It works better than whatever strategy you’re using it seems 🤣

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
In FPL if you want to do well you can’t just have a ‘not bad’ squad. You need the best squad almost every week with superior planning and transfers. You can’t just fall into a top 10k finish. I see two major problems: Havertz and Robbo. A lot of budget for not a lot of points.
110
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Obviously not great enough at 600k. Maybe you need to make more transfers 🤣
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Depends how you define ‘have to’ If you want to maximise FPL points then you would ‘have to’ make transfers every week or second week. If you simply just want to be passive and be happy with a mediocre rank then you don’t ‘have to’ make a transfer most weeks.
200
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Maybe you need to make more transfers 🤣 Safe to say I’ve had more fun this season too. I’m at 229k OR. 21 transfers made so far.
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
What rank are you though?
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Bad decision, bad outcome. You thinking it was a good decision suggests a skill issue.

luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Tell that to all the people who didn’t do the Haaland to Salah switch
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Yep this is exactly what happened with Haaland v Salah
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
It’s quite the opposite. Those that kept Haaland and didn’t switch to Salah as they weren’t reactive enough are losing.
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Points are gold dust! Isak could be on 20 pts after LEI + IPS Cunha could be on 8 pts. Even if I transfer Isak out again for a hit I’d still be up on points.
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
They’re also the same ones that kept Haaland and missed out on the Salah hauls. They were not reactive enough.
000
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
If it means getting more points I’d happily switch Cunha -> Isak.
000
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Those same managers kept DCL for all his blanks because they weren’t reactive enough.
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
But what if you are happy with the other 10 players with 1.5m sitting in the bank and you’re not sure where to spend it? Cunha -> Isak is right there.
200
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
But we’re talking about a Cunha to Isak switch so we’re assuming the funds are available to do that switch
000
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
I mean sure if you’re an average manager then stick to your plans. Good/elite managers react to new info to maximise their FPL points.
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
yeh but Isak is better
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
GW10 as part of the Haaland -> Salah switch
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
Again, reacting to more info. Enzo emerged as an enabler so money ain’t a big issue now.
100
luobronjames.bsky.social @luobronjames.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
Was just using it as an example. But probably he was the best premium mid AT THE TIME. We get more info and are simply reacting to it now.
