New post: Young people are increasingly unhappy. It's a real phenomenon + nothing to do with "snowflakes". There are lots of standard culprits - social media, school, economy - but none can explain the long-term trend. So what is going on? (£/free trial) samf.substack.com/p/the-agency...

Can't wait to rage transfer Palmer out less than 24 hours after buying him #fpl

Here we go for GW4 in #fpl ! After much deliberation, Palmer in for Bruno. Captaincy on a knife edge between Palmer and Haaland. WC pencilled in for the international break to take out some of the dead wood and look at the trends so far.

Middling TC result and Tzolis assist saved my otherwise weak GW3 from being a complete washout. 7 point red arrow down to 895k OR. #fpl

Kneecherked in Cherki for Le Fee. Walle Egeli in for DCL (only way to afford without a hit). Considering Haaland TC while he's on the boil #fpl

#fpl GW2 team Don't feel great about it. Transfer rolled. Decent chance of Bruno to Palmer early doors if Utd are anything but dominant.

Current #fpl draft, with 0.5m itb and a plan for BB1. Sangaré could be Ampadu (defcons), Arsenal defence could change or swap one for Gvardiol

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years
A man in the 19th century wearing a chicken suit. It has feathers, a full on tail, and even shoes shaped like chicken feetA chicken suit currently for sale. It's just a smooth white zip-up onesie with no tail, no chicken feet, and just some flappy thing under the arms and some striped leggings. Pathetic

The simple solution here is to surgically combine Slot (who won the league in his first year) with Big Ange (who always wins trophies in his second year), then fire the new hybrid every two years.

That's #fpl done for a while, worse rank than my other two years playing (and no ML wins) but not going to kid myself, I will be back for more next year. Main problems: trusting Salah in early season, trying to go a bit different with chip strategy and transfers, Pep roulette
