Tripswich rules again and going to halt the recently downward spiral with Isak & Cherki to Emmerson & Saka. Still no Groß because I'm an idiot 🙃

TC Palmer fail and big red arrow 190-750k in gw4, but no need to panic. Lukić > Barnes means I leave the IB with 3FT/WC/FH so we'll see how my squad holds up this GW then decide how best to return to Tripswich 🙃 MGW captain cos I think he scores most points! Anything stand out as a fuck up?
Team in a 3-5-2 formation with no Haaland.  Cherki continues to stink out the midfield but survives another week, as does Lammens who at this stage is a piggybank on my bench who is out at the first chance which arises.

An unconcerning red arrow 33k > 190k last week. Rolling the transfer and hitting the big TC. Not actually planning any more transfers until after IB as think my team holds up pretty well until then. Cue a mass outbreak of hamstring injuries 🙃

Time to see how big a flash in the pan last week's 122 pointer with no chips was. Mboomo > Cherki who gets the armband. Tripswich benched but happy for them to all haul if we win! Currently 33k and fully expecting a big red this GW 🙃
FPL team with Tripswich benched which greeatly saddens me but if they all haul then I'll still be happy as chances are it means we're beaten Liverpool

Can't remember the last time all my attacking players got returns but certainly not complaining. Need something similar next week given my lack of Man City players 😬 💯 club with a couple of arsenal defenders still to come.
FPL seven attacking players all with returns.

I'd imagine everyone has finalised their squad by now so here's a last half hour before #fpl starts challenge. Colour coordinate your team better than mine 🙃

Slight change of plan and now going triple Ipswich. Go BIG or go home! Also, new team is more aesthetically pleasing which is always important for a good start in #FPL 🙃
Much the same squad as last time except with an extra helping of Ipswich and better colour co-ordination.

Need to finalise my team tonight so here is my #FPL GW1 BB squad to rip apart - £0.5m ITB and accept that Palmer is a punt so plenty of flexibility. Usually roll the first one or two FT's and mini wildcard out of any disasters 🙃 Do your worst....
FPL GW1 bench boost squad featuring double Ipswich, no Man City and a Man Utd triple up so pretty confident that nothing could possibly go wrong!

Finally got around to creating a first draft for my FPL team, which I'm happy for everyone to demolish as I haven't really put much thought into it 🙃 This would be a bench boost and leaves £0.5m ITB. Do your worst...
A ridiculous triple Ipswich FPL squad for bench boost gw1 which is pretty much certain to fail since it's a case of hope over expectation but nonetheless has to be done.

Minus eight taken to try and salvage some fun out of the final GW since my season is long past saving. Good luck to all those somehow still in contention for mini league wins... may type arrows be the brightest of green.

I did a couple of transfers but I'm on holiday and no longer really care about FPL so here's a photo i took today which, now i think about it, will probably prove to be rather prescient wrt my two transfers

Here's where I'm at on my WC, with £4.3m ITB. FH33 and this gets me through GW34. I can see Brobbey terrifying a Spurs defence potentially trying out new tactics. In fact, fuck it, I might just give him the armband 🙃
A damn fine looking wildcard squad even if I do say so myself!

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
And it's wildcard time! I'll be free hitting in GW33 and able to field full team in 34 (injuries allowing). BB already shot of which helps. I quite like it 🙃
FPL Wildcard team which would probably best be described as "different"

Salah and Chalobah injuries mean I've had to take a -8 to get 11 out, with Rice also departing for Shirley, Iwobi and Ice Cold. Bruno captain as plenty of differentials already compared to ML leader. Past caring at this point but at least it will be fun 🙃
My team. Which is shit,  so now really worth listing.

Yeah mate go for it that's a brilliant bench boost. In fact it's so good it might even beat my own rogue bench boost from gw26 🔥🔥
6 frigging points from a bench boost!

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
Been on a run of grey arrows so for the first time this season I welcome Mo Salah to my team, for Mbeumo. Massive ML differential so captained against a depleted Spurs defence. It will either be a genius move or a disastrous one. Recent experience suggests the latter 🙃
FC Free Palestine walking like an Egyptian now Mo Salah is in the team.  chances are that the Egyptian the team will end up walking like is Pharaoh who was chasing Moses through the Red Sea when you know what happened!

Here's where in at. Tarks & KDH out for VVD and Adli. Have seen everyone talking about pretty much every Bournemouth attacking asset apart from Adli so wondering whether I'm an utter fool or an absolute genius* for bringing him in 🤷‍♂️ Mboomo as differential captain *my money is on the former 🙃
Team with Jaoa Pedro say on the bench ready to seriously punish me like the fool i am

A new challenge for GW27 - try to keep my shiny new top 500k which took a lot of work to finally achieve! Gyökeres slung out for Thiago as fast as possible - a DGW punt which flopped. Can't see anything else worth a hit but Bournemouth on my radar. JP the troll captained so low expectations 🙃
FPL Free Palestine looking better now it no longer has Gyökeres stinking out the front line

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
Bench boost only gained me 6 points but still broke the 💯 barrier and no longer need to mess up my team trying to plan around that awful chip 🥳 Into the top 500k which was looking completely unachievable for a very long time. Never give up hope he says fully expecting a huge red arrow next week 🙃

Damn this is a sexy looking bench boost team

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
Likely to be another grey arrow this week as I bounce around the 1m rank. Very tempted by a -4 which would allow me to get my bench boost out of the way. Alderete/Wilson/Guiu > Hill/KDH/Gyökeres Genius or complete and utter madness?
Team with triple arsenal just like everyone else except double attack instead of defence.

A decent but not brilliant rank history

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 05/01/2026
Didn't expect it to happen this week after a -8 but have finally cracked the top 1m. Which clearly is still a shit rank but it's been one of those seasons. Only 72 pts from top 100k which probably need to win ML. Don't much fancy my chances TBH 😐
Screenshot showing mahoosive rank increase into the top 1m (yaaaay!)

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
First -8 of the season taken. NOR/Ekitike/Tav/Wirtz > Tarks/Watkins/Cherki/BrunoG Going to charge into the top 1m by next week. Playing safe hasn't been paying off this season so attacking the game from now on. Hopefully without making too many kneejerk moves 🙃
FC Free Palestine looking extremely different to last week
000
FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 02/01/2026
Five green arrow in a row mean I'm in danger of hitting the top 1m. Want Bruno G, Watkins and Cherki so need to decide who is for the chop. Probably involves NOR going and MCI attack triple up in a 3-4-3/4-3-3 formation. Minus 8 incoming 🙃
FC Free Palestine team scoring 48 point in GW19 for a green arrow.Transfers of Guiu/tav/wirtz/NOR > Chekri/BrunoG/Miley/Mukieli

Another small green last week puts me into the top 1.5m for the first time this season. It's been a grind! Timber >Gabriel as ML differential so want on early. Rolling a FT.

GW17 is that beautiful time when you can confirm it's not a tactic and your #FPL mini league rival has indeed failed to read the new rule about getting two of each chip 🙃
Picture confirming only WC cup used.

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 17/12/2025
A rare excellent week puts me into the top 2m for the first time this season. 3 FT's but might roll. Harry Wilson feels like a trap and with Iwobi going to AFCON that trap seems more likely to be sprung.
81 points for FC Free Palestine

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 07/12/2025
Three used so far. Saving the other two to sort out the inevitable midweek injuries 🙃
Transferred out Mateta, Foster and Caicedo and replaced with Guiu, Flemming and Foden. What was I thinking getting rid of one Burnley player who was stinking out my bench and replacing with another Burnley player?

FPL Socialist @robbiefaulds.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
Gained 20 points playing my free hit so that counts as a win. 61 points means a rank jump of 1.3m so now approaching the giddy heights of 2.5m OR 🥳🙃 Shout out to Kudus for adecent score in what will probably be the only time he appears for my team this season... or any other i suspect.
FC Free Palestine FH13 team scores 61 pts, mainly due to Brentford players
