Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 16/07/2026England's attacking stats declined as the tournament progressed. Was this due to fatigue or lack of belief? Argentina are much better than the teams in the group stage, but Mexico and Norway have lower FIFA ranks than Croatia. 001 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Six green arrows from GW30-38 saw me finish on 130k. I'm disappointed to be outside the top 100k, but happy with the finish and my win in the mini-league I care most about. I'll try and take some lessons from this season. I was too slow to move away from Haaland, and missed some gems like Bowen. 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Andor shows you what can be achieved in a Star Wars universe with good writing and acting. It just raises your hopes too high. In fairness, Lucas aimed the original movies at children. Maybe the prequel trilogy was created for children someone didn't like? 020 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 17/03/2025I'm seeing it because I'm looking at your Bluesky post instead of my depressing GW team captained by Chris Wood. 130 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Mateta has better fixtures than Mbeumo in GW30-31 so I'd use the transfer unless you need that for something else later. Shame for Cunha owners - Wolves have a couple of good fixtures. 020 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Cracking week in FPL: I captained Wood and brought in MGW instead of Elanga. I can feel the big red arrow hovering over my head like the sword of Damacles. #FPL 020 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Anyone who had Moyes, Emery and then Glasner for their AM in the last three GWs reaped 56 points. If you get it right this chip is a POWERHOUSE. Obviously, I had Slot for most of this run. #FPL 020 0

Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 01/02/2025In 24 hours my plans went from TC Salah, Gordon -> Mbeumo & Mateta -> Gakpo to AM Slot, Raya -> Pickford & Wood -> Wissa. #FPL is bonkers. 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I agree on Gabriel's goal threat, but playing devil's advocate how many goals will he have at the end of the season? It would be nice to see more frequent clean sheet points as well as the occasional goal. I don't plan to sell him, but could bench him next GW in favour of Robinson (vs lei). 100 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 16/01/2025When we have Hall, Robinson, Muoz and the lads from Forest then do we need premium defenders? Gabriel, Saliba and Trent aren't really justifying their prices. #FPL 450 0

Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Crystal Palace, Fulham and Chelsea all have good fixtures so how about: Lewis - hold for now since this GW is a good fixture, but then swap for Munoz or Robinson. Semenyo - Sarr or Eze. Enzo could also work. Raul - Isak is the only forward really shining. Mateta? Wissa has mixed fixtures. 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 28/12/2024In GW18 Anthony Gordon (10 points) came out top in the Saka replacement battle over Bruno, Son, Odegaard, Martinelli, Foden, Diaz and Jota who all scored 3 points or less. Gordon is nailed, playing for an attacking side and faces Wolves and Southampton in the next 5 matches. #FPL 120 0

Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 27/12/2024The sentence "surely he will get a start at..." could be set as a hopeful keyboard shortcut for every time we bring in a Liverpool midfielder who isn't Egyptian. 010 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Thanks Matheus. Wolves might be struggling, but you've been a great FPL asset for me. I appreciate the goodbye present of the haul against Man Utd. #FPL 020 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Merry Christmas everyone! I hope the day is bringing you the lovely food, drink and family moments you wished for.

Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Simply go Saka to Bruno or save some cash with Sarr/Amad/Enzo? The latter helps fund later upgrades to defence or attack. #FPL 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 15/12/2024The Liverpool fixtures from GW18 on are great even if Salah gets a rest at some point. Any plans to bring back the Egyptian? It would take a few moves unless you sacrificed Palmer, which is risky. 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Goodbye RAN, hello Robinson. The Wolves man gave me a paltry 17 points over 8 GWs. I'd have been better off with Ashley Young, unlikely as that seemed at the start of the season. #FPL 010 0

Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 25/11/2024It's also odd when the game is more interesting when we have more diverse squads. If we all have templates then it's very hard to have a big rank gain or loss in a GW. 110 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I choose Solanke over Johnson and regretted my decision for 93 minutes. 😂 010 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Spurs are one of the most attacking sides in the league, but who will give points in #FPL? Today it's Maddison, but Solanke and Johnson were the stars in other GWs. 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Yeah, Arteta is so deliberately vague that it's hard to bring in an Arsenal player for a hit. It's safer to wait until Saka is clearly fine. 010 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Could you bring in Saka and retain Fernandes though? If there is an Amorim bounce then it could be better to stick with the Man Utd star anyway. 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Haaland captaincy is looking better and better. Oh. I sold him because I thought he was a waste of money. Oops. Might regret that decision. 000 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Another way to look at it: which players do you think are likely to seriously hurt your rank this week? Haaland is the only one I come up with. Saka is consistent, but hauls rarely. Is it worth a hit to bring him in? 100 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Good point on the fixtures. My thinking on Digne would be to use Milenkovic for the tricky Villa fixtures which would give a run of: CRY - IPS - BRE - SOU - nfo - bre then probably bring in another defender. 110 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I'm debating Digne or Hall as TAA replacements. Is the Villa man a trap? #FPL 110 0
Alasdair @spicerackjack.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Good points. Small sample sizes are a big issue for me. There will be posts early in the season that a player had bad or good stats which ignore everything they did in previous seasons e.g. Salah has blanked for four GWs so he's rubbish! 000 0
