Geraint Owen

Last season I finished 21st in @officialfpl, qualified for @Greyhead19's Great and the Good and won a rather large 🏆 for finishing top of Fantasy 606's mini-league. Here's a few things I learnt along the way. 🧵.....

@DafPritchard Go full L’Equipe

Doing Wales player ratings for the first time in around 10 years tonight. Of all the games...

@FplMode Milenkovic to play though. Every cloud...

I know it’s a midweek rank but I couldn’t help myself. Here it is. Read it and weep 😉 My rank has changed by almost 1m. God I’m good.

All about home advantage this week. Lewis might not start but only other option was Konsa. Rolling into the ITB we go. #FPLCommunity

@dis_fpl Get yourself over to Bluesky. The FPL community over there is pretty embryonic, but it is at least sensible.

Very quickly reminded why I don't post on X very often anymore. Just wished to share some views about the likely build-up options. I would do one lineup and say it was a predicted lineup if that was the aim. I appreciate that's all most people care about but It would be nice to use my Twitter for other things. All ill say is if you nail the build up you're pretty likely to get close to the 11. Good luck.

Lots of talk about Lewis this week. We know City use a defender(s) to move forward into midfield in some way. I think given the matchup with Brighton/Mitoma and the start last week in the PL then rest in CL for Walker it's *fairly* safe to assume he will play RB if fit enough. In my opinion that leaves one of the following four options as likely: Lewis at LB into midfield. Akanji at CB into midfield. Duel FB and Kovacic into back 2 to make the 3. Gvardiol to LW/inside the winger. 3/4 rely on Ake playing (if we assume no Simpson-Pusey won't play) Ake not called up to the Dutch team and Pep said he was not fully fit but didn't rule him out. The attacking players are illustrative, Nunes/Doku is interchangeable IE. This is just to show the setups. It's worth noting the last time City played Brighton (and won 4 nill) he used the duel FB and inside wingers but that was more a feature last season than this and was vs De Zerbi. I'm not here to say which it will be as I don't know, and as mentioned may rely on Ake/Walker fitness. Which do you think it will be? If any.

@lateriser12 @SkontoRigga Odegaard should be back to somewhere near full fitness at the same time too.

Once Arsenal have finished their match against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 12, they will have faced all of the top 11 bar Fulham. What a stat @SkontoRigga

@Pras_fpl @lateriser12 And even it's only a short hop over to Belgium, it's the disruption to routine for players. Under-rated factor imho.

@lateriser12 Travel is such a huge factor. Meanwhile Liverpool played Sunday, Tue, Sat all at home.

Is a good point here from Tom

@Greyhead19 Might not know before the FPL deadline.

I do hope that the US get the captaincy decision right this week…

@FPLOneManTeam It's more fun than Raya though. Proper rollercoaster.

@fpl_tactician I'm in the 11 or 12 points category personally. Nailed on.

Any other Flekken owners already added 10pts to their total score or just me? This clean is very secure. 🔒

@rhodrillwyd Fanna fydd o wsos nesa fyd!

Watching football games to see how many saves a keeper makes is what the beautiful game is all about #FPL

@LetsTalk_FPL Hoping he can do a Bruno Guimares in that case 🤞

Nicolas Jackson now on 4 yellow cards, 1 away from suspension.

@FPL_TomHadley I don't think you can go wrong with talismanic assets. Not that many around sadly.

Getting 1 bonus and (29) on the BPS system with one assist as a striker is extremely difficult in FPL and just shows how influential Cunha is for Wolves. Prime creator. Carries the ball a lot. Takes corners and free kicks. Talisman Perfect for a budget FPL asset! #FPL

Never like taking hits in #FPL but... IN: Salah (c) + Cunha = 24 (-4) OUT: Haaland (c) + Eze = 4

@FPLGeneral This is how it should be. Hard decisions all the way!

sell Haaland to get Salah keep Haaland, no Salah sell TAA/Saka to get Salah keep TAA/Saka, no Salah Roll for three FTs I love/hate this season

@BenCrellin2 I watched The Shining when I was about 12 (bad idea in hindsight) and some of its scenes I can remember vividly over 30 years later. Brilliant cinematography.

I've only watched about 20 horror films in my life (12 since 2016 in pic below), and I've never seen one in a cinema. I'm considering going to watch 'The Substance' and 'The Shining' at my local cinema next week. How scary/disturbing would those two films be for a horror newb?

@Greyhead19 That doesn't look like the leisure centre car park where I made my Saka ➡️ Son transfer.

The latest from The Great and The Good Cartel

@FPLRobbed This was my first thought as I benched him in the bus team 🙈

Gabriel goal on the bench this week is a fixed point in time btw

@fplblackbox_az @fpl_flair Isn't it more likely that someone more senior has come in on the Monday, stuck a Teams meeting in the diary, and reversed the weekend decision. Standard, fairly dull, Monday workplace behaviour.

@fpl_flair @OfficialFPL CONTENT CREATORS ARE SO EVIL 😭🤬 Or maybe they have absolutely no say in anything, don’t typically get leaks other than the ones they share, and don’t deserve half of the toxicity they get on here?

@LetsTalk_FPL I think the key to it all is the 2nd paragraph here in @OfficialFPL 's own rules on assists. No conspiracy as far as I can see, just applying the rules (full disclosure: I am a Son owner since 8.45am on Saturday)

When I first saw the own goal I thought there was a good chance of a Son assist. He shoots, it’s saved, Todibo puts it in the net. Those kind of things are often given in FPL. But as soon as it was given as an Areola goal I thought there’s no chance. Pleasantly surprised to see it given and as an owner hope it sticks. I can only assume that they’ve given it because Son’s shot forces the whole situation, but I do think it’s weird for it to stand when it’s not Todibo own goal.
