@TheFPLTest @FPL_Harry So you don’t like Wright or Crouch. You a Joey Barton fan?

@FPL_Harry You cannot be serious. After some of the stuff he did on England duty?! Not a chance.

Just watching the Peter Crouch Film… Firstly, it’s very good, on Netflix, would 100% recommend. Secondly, is the most universally liked England player ever?

@FPL_Harry Maybe after Ian Wright

GW31: 50 points OR 🌍: 65K > 88K 🔴 - WHY DID I PLAY SANCHEZ?! - Bruno being Bruno. - Wilson being Wilson. - Thiago defcon was an interesting one. No attacking returns though. - Bowen disappointed. - WC for GW32 I reckon. - AGAIN, WHY DID I PLAY SANCHEZ?! #FPL

GW30: 52 points OR 🌍: 57k > 65K 🔴 - Should have played Hill. He’s been doing so well, that was a real oversight. - Bruno being Bruno. Feel he’s a perma-cap now. - Gabriel haul and Thiago goal are the only points of note. - Guehi out next week for Thiaw. #FPL

@FplMode Looked it up. Apparently not. Lame

@FplMode Can they disallow the goal during half time as there was back pass to the keeper that was missed by the ref?

Cracking goal by Armstrong. Happy for the lad.

We all know Thiago is getting 2 points tonight. Can we just chalk it up and move on?

@FPL__Raptor That’s weird, on mine it says Thiago gets the goal from a Kelleher assist. Kelleher makes 6 saves and both of them get 3 bonus. Dango injured in the first 45 seconds. Strange? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m so sorry guys, someone just sent me the script for tonight and it’s only 1 goal and 1 bonus 😔 sadly doesn’t hit DEFCON or get the clean sheet point either. I guess we just have to take our 8 pointer and move on.

@FPLPhysioo The only contents creators who seem to be talking about a lack of engagement, are the ones who haven’t adapted to the changes this season and are performing badly. I haven’t watched one content creator in the top 100K talk about this season being problematic.

Can't comment on this as Raptor has blocked me. Don't know why, but maybe because I was commenting with my injury analysis when I was a small account and he found that annoying. Anyway, I know better now. I'll leave some thoughts on the topic like this then: I think managers who want the game to be simple—with CS, assists, goals and BPS—are less engaged. I totally get that, and we have to remember it's basically 98–99% of all managers. Those are the most important for FPL to keep engaged, so I wouldn't be surprised if they rolled back DEFCON but kept more FTs and 2× chips. Managers who just want CS, assists and goals don't want Lacroix to be a good pick because he clears the ball 18 times and blocks 7 shots, which probably makes them less engaged. Combine that with them sitting watching games cheering for blocks or clearances (this part also made me less engaged in the games, or engaged in a weird way). I love the complexity, but I think they should change the DEFCON system to one that rewards actions we find engaging when watching the games. A proper tackle, not a clearance from a corner kick or a block 14 metres from goal. Reward the things that make us watch football, not just defensive actions. Here's some ideas/brainstorming: - A successful tackle - The pass before the assist (just like in hockey) - A successful dribble Or maybe just add the possibility to play FPL in two different ways: one with complexity and one with CS, goals, assists and BPS. They will never make a game that suits everyone, but they can make one for the 98% of managers and one for us freaks who want more complexity. FPL and FPL+. I don't know... I'm ranting now.

@FPL__Raptor I’ve got Hill first on mine. Pleeeeeeease leave Ekitike alone, Arne.

I really don't think there is much point in risking Ekitike and Salah in this game, makes sense to give them a full rest. In unrelated news, Garner and Rodon on my bench with 12 points between them.

@FPL_Harry Never have I moved a captain chip back and forth more than in the last 48 hours.

No Romero, No Van de Ven, No Palhinha I had taken the armband off Ekitike. Maybe I need to put it back on him!

@FPL_Harry Great news to wake up to 💪🏻

Wilson is back training 🚨 #FPL

GW29: 49 points (-4) OR: 27K > 55K 🔴 - Disappointing from Haaland. - Semenyo and Pedro killing my rank. Again. - Tavernier should have got a lot more points. - Tempted to do Haaland>Joao Pedro and Enzo>Semenyo next week. - Possible BB too. #FPL

@Hibbo_FPL 🤣🤣🤣

Cartel knew Ramsdale would start.

@BuffeyGoldIOW @FPL_Harry I’m sure he will be. There’s a nice break in between.

@BerryMichael87 @FPL_Harry Just hoping he’s back for next week 🤞

Team News Summary... Starts ✅ Haaland, Semenyo, Guehi Benched 🪑 Andersen Not in the Squad ❗️O'Reilly, Saliba, Wilson

@stoni98 @FPLMate

@FPLMate Could be me 😂

The bench jam is gonna go crazy this week. Who here has the most points coming off their bench?

@FPLMate Errrrr… yes, skill 👀. You said it, not me.

@BerryMichael87 Insane skill

My bench jam is very tasty. - Kelleher in for Sanchez. - Enzo in for Wilson (obviously I would prefer Wilson to play though. - O’Reilly in for Hill! Beautiful. #FPL

@FPL_Harry And now I get Kelleher points? My bench jam is unreal rn.

Sanchez benched 😮
