I ❤️ Fpl

@GaryLineker @LFC @FCBarcelona Gary never apologise for celebrating a goal in a natural way. If we can’t do that, why do we watch football in the first place?

@objective_cfc Not sure he’s shown anything better than Delap personally. Hope I’m wrong but it’s another striker mistake IMO

@fplfanatic I personally think he has attributes that could succeed at a higher level imo. (Better than what we’ve seen from Delap and Guiu anyway) Unfairly getting hammered without even kicking a ball imo. He’s only getting shit this season mainly because of his repeated hamstring issue

Chelsea have got to try and get on top of these Anselmino and Emegha hamstrings this summer …It’s becoming extremely extremely extremely concerning

@FPLPriceChanges @fplreview I got blocked for saying this, so imagine you’ll be the same 😂🤷‍♂️

@D7azza @Mike_Metz66 @FFH_HQ @BigManBakar Doesn’t like the truth I guess 😂

@fplfanatic @Mike_Metz66 @FFH_HQ @BigManBakar Watch out you will now be blocked 😂 They are being seen and they don’t like it

IF @BigManBakar still had his Wildcard... Here’s the draft he’d go with for GW35 With a GW36 bench boost in mind. 🧠

@GianniButtice Family > work 👌 enjoy!

Was planning on doing an early afternoon Q&A but got distracted. This is why I often lock in midweek. Life.

@objective_cfc I have a feeling he will barely play for us. Straight out on loan and sold in a years time… i might be wrong but I just don’t see it happening for him

Emegha has abit about him that I think Chelsea fans will like… spikey character Intrigued to see if he can make the step up carrying the same demeanour Willing runner, big presence and rapid too btw

@fplblackbox_az Honestly I’d just stop playing if I ever got to a point of having 5 transfers. Or just play draft or something. I just find 0 enjoyment in rolling every week, but I don’t play FPL to be super meta AI driven copycat team, it just gives me some interest in the weekends fixtures 🤷‍♂️

APART FROM THE 5 AFCON TRANSFERS WE WERE ALL GIVEN have you had 5FTs this season?

@LetsTalk_FPL I’d imagine 45 or so at the weekend so he’s fit to start the second leg. Best case it’s probably 45-60, I don’t see the attraction myself

I swear I saw something about Martinelli picking up a hamstring injury....obviously incorrect - he's starting! So quite a bit of competition for that LW spot still - Martinelli/Eze/Trossard. Eze seems first choice, presumably not starting because of the knock at the weekend. Saka on the bench is interesting too, surely he starts against Fulham - one of the genuine differentials for the final 4 weeks.

@GoldbergCFC Might be the only way Josh gets a game for us 😭

It could literally hurt their development if they weren’t ready! This makes no sense. I’m all for giving young players a chance on the early side but this is downright stupid.

@objective_cfc Unfortunately I think Alonso is the big name they throw out to appease fans when he won’t realistically join.His agent is the same as Iraola -so “met alonsos agent” is prob actually about Iraola. FWIW Alonso will have learnt a lot from Madrid -too soon for Cesc IMO, not ready yet

My fear with Alonso is his ability to manage ego’s. My error with Rosenior was to assume Chelsea’s young group would respond how the young group in Strasbourg responded - that his managerial style would work the same. That he’d relate, galvanise and that they would play hard for him. I assumed the cultural triad of the ownership, the manager and the players would work well and create a similar performance response to the Strasbourg group - overachievement …add in the extra quality we have and I assumed we would seen a better outcome despite Rosenior’s inexperience. I’m assuming the ownership also thought the same. But the opposite happened. Why? Because this group ISN’T the same temperamentally. Yes, they are a similar age to the Strasbourg team - but temperamentally they are the opposite. They have to be to play at a club like this. They have to have that edge It’s not good/bad, it’s not about shaming them - it’s just accepting it for what it is and making decisions around it - it’s just the reality. BUT - these types of personalities need to be lead by certain personalities imo. On a cultural spectrum, this group is more similar to Madrid than it is to Leverkusen imo. I’m not saying it’s the same, I’m saying it’s more similar behaviourally. We have CL winner, Euro’s winner, World Cup winner and the rest have also won some silverware together beating the reigning champions league winners. Strasbourg’s group have won fuck all and before Alonso started at Leverkusen, it was the same. Groups like this have more humility and are subsequently more open to be lead by humble people. Strasbourg’s fan base and Leverkusens fan base are also not the same as Chelsea’s. We have expectancy running through every aspect of the club. For me, Alonso looks very conflict avoidant in his nature. Like he wouldn’t give you a bollocking and drop you if you dropped your professional standards. Like he’d try to keep the peace and keep everyone happy. He looks humble as fuck which (as I said) works very very very well with certain groups. Humble managers work well with humble players in humble fan bases But this is an expectant fan base and an expectant squad - which arguably means, we need an expectant manager …not a humble one. I’m not saying he won’t drive respect, he will. But it’ll be more because of who he is (and what he achieved in his playing career) rather than how he’s acts temperamentally as a manager imo ..and my fear is, long term it may not be enough. I have concerns. In contrast, Cesc for example - on paper has a similar player CV to Alonso but temperamentally he is completely different - he has a serious edge from a personality perspective and would generate a legitimate fear factor in the changing room, keeping this group on their toes which I personally think this squad needs because of (as I said) the expectant environment they’re working in …it’s evident too many can drop their performance levels when they get comfortable. I think this squad could need a more authoritative figure. Look what this squad did to the last ‘nice guy’. Away from the squad, because if his temperament, I think Alonso would get on much better with the ownership than Cesc …but I think Cesc would be much much more successful on the pitch with this squad which is arguably what we all want - including the ownership. I understand the potential for friction with Cesc and the ownership (and with that fear and resistance) but for me, this is a simple conversation. “We want you, this is how we work, are you happy with the infrastructure on every level? If not, what are you happy with… “ Then listen - if you can compromise, weigh up the pros and cons and compromise. If you can’t, don’t. In summary; Temperamentally Cesc is MUCH more suited to this club and this squad culture wise than Alonso and with high level performance - these intangibles are MUCH more important than even coaching competence imo. 🔵

@FPLKamran I don’t understand the triple palace hype. Potentially (likely) no clean sheets there, maybe Henderson and a defender at a push… WC32’s Brighton with wolves H will probably match/ outscore palace defenders IMO

Wildcard 35 + Bench Boost 36 Triple Arsenal ✅ Triple City ✅ Triple Palace ✅ 6 players with good fixtures in 36 ✅ #FPL

@objective_cfc I hated Rafa, but I don’t see Alonso as an ex Liverpool legend, even if their fans do. FWIW I don’t think he’d join us, but IMO he’d have full fan backing

Two of them will be eaten alive. My fear with the one remaining is our fan base will have the ex Liverpool link flipped on him the moment things get sticky quicker than you can say ‘Rafa Benitez’ Of all of them, I’d go for Alonso though. Has by far the best chance of the succeeding imo

@FPL_Harry He probably won’t start and check their fixtures - they barely get clean sheets in the easy games! A hard avoid for me personally

Differential no.2 - Frimpong. #FPL Salah injury dependent but feels to be the preferred back up RW if Salah is out ❌ Defender playing RW? 👀

@objective_cfc Nothing wrong with being optimistic. It’s just an insane level of pressure… it’s what worries me about Iraola too. Not convinced he’s the right guy for similar reasons

@fplfanatic Big lessons for everyone man. Including me. Let’s hope the club learn theirs .

This guy isn’t a bum… Far far from it. Super impressed tbh. Objectively, the anti kinetic lot need to hold their hands up tonight tbh.

@objective_cfc Yeah I think the job was too big for Rosenior, he needed a middle step between the 2. Unfortunately he couldn’t exactly reject the job.. feel for him but he’s never good enough (not his fault). Hate all the media abuse he’s getting though,he doesn’t deserve that it’s out of line

Tbf, if we’re stictly being objective - macfarlane deserves a shit ton of praise. A shit ton. Never been anywhere close to this level etc. On rosenior, I like Liam a lot. My error was to assume this young group respond the same as his young group in Strasbourg. Will hold that L. If he goes and to Strasbourg or a similar environment he’ll kill it though imo

@joshpearson180 If AI is used at all by the editor (eg to remove the background from the image of Bunting let’s say) then it flags the whole thing as AI it seems

People are losing their minds at this being AI because Twitter has flagged it as such It is not AI 😂

@PaddyKeoghAF Think he starts v Brentford? Asking from someone on a free hit’s perspective.

Interesting.

@jst_cls Unfortunately I don’t think he’s daft enough to leave them for us 😭😅

@fplfanatic Thank you. Hopefully some stronger links soon. 5eres lots of choices but one one real project manager imo.

Bring
