52 points, happy with that. Looking forward to lots of tinkering over the next three weeks. Currently at 53k, assume that will drop a little with autosubs. Good luck all 🫡 (at getting through the IB!)

Last night has made we want to keep Schade and ditch one of the Chelsea mids on my WC. It could fund Cala-Gabriel and Davis-£5m!!

Think JP is heading for the bench. Can’t risk him being sent on for ten minutes. Solves my Schade and Ndiaye headache. Wildcard being activated as soon as the game reopens.

One GW of “Spicy Starters” left 🌶️ Have definitely attacked those green arrows, and now really looking forward to much tinkering over the international break to get the most boring, locked, minutes guaranteed team to last until Christmas using as few FT as possible 🤓

Ndiaye or Schade? Justin, Bogle or Konsa? These are the only questions for this week (injuries dependent).

Not going to overconsume the content this week. I know what I’m doing (between one or two players) and will be WCing in 6. Back to an audiobook for this week, except a few faves of course 😂 🫡

GW5 🚌 Likely to make 1FT, likely to be Shaw out. It’s a one week punt too, as 99.9% certain to wildcard in GW6. (I’m only human!) Currently could be: Konsa (safe) A Leeds £4.5m (spicy)

Very happy with 97 all out on free hit. Had planned to target this week from preseason. Can’t believe how well it’s worked out! Non-FH team (with Konsa transfer) would have scored 77, so I’ll defo take a +20! One “normal” week then WC6 incoming

#FPL GW4 🧢 Palmer 🍟 Free Hit Current: 287k Last week: 60 🟢 Good luck, all - I’ll be 🏏ing today so look forward to opening my phone to find a Palmer hatrick, Szoboszlai hatrick of assists to Isak and then sitting down to watch an Arsenal cleano!

Still annoys me when FPLers (and especially “professional” ones) talk about “covering” players. You *can’t* “cover” players - if you like a player pick them, if you can’t afford them then find another. But it won’t “cover” them!

Listening to Fabian Hurzeler interview on TRIF, he says he enjoyed watching De Cuyper in the WC this summer and learned he could play left wing effectively. I think this is a long term change not just a reaction to injuries.

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Decision to keep Mbeumo was the right one. Wish I’d gone with my gut and put Barnes in for Ndiaye and played him instead of my third striker. HOWEVER… encouraging for Ndiaye and happy to have two Eve assets for GW5. FH4 incoming… watch Bruno and Haaland haul next week 🫣

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Compiling a free hit feels a little bit like (what I imagine) cheating (feels like). I’m hereby apologising to all those lads I’m letting go for a week, please don’t hate me… see you in a week!

So in my hunt for Tzolis and Ndiaye replacements JUST for GW3 and GW5 I have the following on my shortlist: 🦁 Buendia 🎩 Anderson 🐝 Sangare 🐦 Groß 🦓 Barnes 🍒 Tavernier 🍬 KDH 🍬 Garner Any thoughts, advice?
000
FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Must remember this period is “Spicy Starters”, so I think the spiciest thing I can do atm is keep MU assets for GW3 and 5, bring players in for Tzolis and Ndiaye for GW3 and 5, stick to FH4 as planned. Thinking KDH and Barnes for GW3 and 5. Everton - (H) v MU and IPS, New - (H) v BOU and HUL. WC6 🔐

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Always planned to take out at least one Manchester United mid and get double Manchester City for this fixture. Now in a right quandary. I really want Semenyo but that would have to be for Bruno unless Brobbey becomes a dead spot. Also Ndiaye and Tzolis to tackle too.

Really surprised Anderson has fallen in price, although I’m also surprised he was only 6% owned. Perhaps the news of Bouaddi and Enzo has spooked folk.

👍 Barring any disasters tonight (basically JP getting crocked) this will be my team for #FPL GW2. ✍️ Exactly as I planned it during pre-season, which is how we should play this game, right? 🎲 Rolling to allow a double transfer for GW3, probably Man City/Liverpool coming in for Man Yoo assets.

Just realised this is now 1.1m 😂 bloody autosubs

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Strong opinion, loosely held this week is that Bryan Mbeumo is still absolutely a good asset in the game. The issue is, he is best on transition… so oddly probably better in tough away games…

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
£5.5m forward to be a first choice No 9?? 🤔

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
So my burner #FPL team is beating my “real” team 😂 No thought to it all, simply an England team picked with the highest value England players possible 😂 Wilson —> Watkins this week due to transfer rumours. Would anyone like to hazard a guess how many “playing” English strikers there are in PL? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Not a stellar week, but not too bad. Happy with my choices and the overall strategy remains. Big blankers doesn’t help! Also plenty of “copium” in that big hauls came from totally random players! We go again!

14 on BB1, happy with that. Got 8 on BB1 last year, overall 66. Need JP to get me 12 to match that this year!!

Szoboszlai owners will currently be jacking off over their decision making. And bloody fair play, a penalty in the third hour of the game is always on the cards, right 😂😂

Can’t wait to hear Sam @fplfamily.bsky.social on pods this week saying “well it got better as the game went on” and “we’ll be okay when we have another £160m worth of signings”

FPL_Martin @nitramfpl.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
10 players today, 5 against each other Schade v Kinsky Hume/Brob v DOS Always find it odd folk don’t want match ups. hedging your bets, as going all in can result in minimal return. Also, it’s pretty much unavoidable over 38 GW. Opt outcome 1-1, KS goal, AK 3+ saves. TH and BB score, DOS DefCon.

“I’ll bench boost with Cov GW2” might be coming unstuck vs “Well Hull will be very different to Arsenal” As I always say, it’s easy to make a narrative to fit want you want!

Think I’m there! Only change from now (barring horrendous predicted line up info!) could be Groß in for Ndiaye and Shaw up to Maguire. BB1 Maybe TC3 FH4 WC6 (I’m only human)

I’m trying to see the season as divided into six distinct “chunks”. GW1-5: “Spicy Starters” GW6-15: “The Long Slog” GW16-20: “Festive Madness” GW21-31: “Survival” GW32/33/34: “Chip Season” GW35-38: “Differential Finishers”

Knowing I’ll be on FH4 and WC6 I’m now really tempted to go for some spicier short term picks then get the “ticker overers” on WC. Eg: Semenyo > Anderson Hume > Ajer Tzolis > Szoboszlai Even: Kayode > van Hecke
