Don't know if you care but Kermode wasn't impressed with it

How many of the "better team" were afforded because of financial chicanery and didn't have been there?

Benchings indeed. 54 points and small green arrow ⬆️ Lots of stats and wildcard drafts for the next few weeks, but probably still going with Haaland, no Bruno.

#fpl gw5 Starting the wildcard tonight. Brought in MGW and preparing for some benchings (JP? White?)

Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Gross and Verbruggen easing the pain, 500k red arrow to 1.4m OR. Gibbs-White likely in for next week ahead of wildcard over the break #fpl

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

Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
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

Well, picked the wrong captain but having both Haaland and Bruno blunted the impact a lot. Small red arrow down to 556k or 570k depending on if you go by the official app or LiveFPL respectively. Already brought in Cherki for Le Fee and gone DCL down to Walle Egeli #fpl

Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Excellent. I have both him and Bruno and brought Cherki in as well.

Goose, is TCing Haaland against Coventry a good idea?

Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
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

Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Around the same % capped Bruno and JP not far behind

Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
It's not knowing how Man Utd and Haaland will perform that's the main worry.

Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
#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.

Have ripped off your Ballard pick and gone Gvardiol now. Was set on keeping something in the bank but this looks really strong IMO, and can hopefully keep track of price changes to avoid getting priced out of anything.... Plus after BB1 I could strip value from the bench instantly
010
Mark Burdon @markburdon.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
I'm on BB1 so don't have him but pencilled in taking Bruno out for him or Foden or whoever looks good at a mid price point after the first three GWs
