FPL Palm🌴

@SteveRyfle Thank you so much for taking the time to look! I will follow that up. There is a special feature on the 20-year-old DVD release from Media Blasters where Fukushima reads what appears to be his story which the feature calls "Matango," but that had seemed to be a dead end.

@paulm_fpl I found some scribbled notes from back then. The story was reportedly published in the August 1963 issue of the magazine "Warai no izumi" (Wellsprings of laughter). I would have to dig much deeper to find the title of the story, but I hope this helps

@SteveRyfle I have been trying to track down some of the textual history of _Matango_. You mentioned in your 2017 book on Honda that Tomoyuki Tanaka "commissioned an original story from [...] Masami Fukushima" based on Hodgson's story, which was published in Aug. '63. (1/2)

ARE U READY FOR SOME FOOTBALLL

@AndrewStoeten Sir, please use his full name “Future HoFer Bowden Francis” when discussing him.

What free agent wouldn’t jump at the chance to play on a team with Bowden Francis?

I can completely handle the Haaland hat-trick. It was always a possibility and I knew the risk going into the season. What I can’t handle is how Eze and Bruno have zero returns between them. It’s an abomination of injustice.

@FPLKritik 😆😆😆

@DevilsITDPod @Ankaman616 Carl incredible as always. What a great listen. Also gave us a great moment in DITD lore with “5th?! 5th is generous? They’re going to hate you.” “Oh they already do. It is what it is.” We love you for it, Kees. And there are dozens of us. Dozens.

@DevilsITDPod Overcast, and it was great.

Question – if you listen to the podcast, and if you do not access it through Spotify or Apple, what platform are you using, and were/are you able to listen to our most recent episode (#78)? I'm working on making it more accessible after our recent migration

@krxsctr @ThreeFiveWho Warra receipt

@ThreeFiveWho Cancelling myself

People really moan about ‘Pep roulette’ all year, and then spend pre-season hyping up Oscar Bobb as an FPL option?

@robtFPL 🐌

Julian Álvarez was projecting 16 season goal involvements as of this morning, but markets have been pulled with news that he's closing in on a move to Atlético Will be v interesting to see how those goal involvements are shared among Bobb and other attackers in the next few days

@robtFPL @FPL_Fezzik @mada17g Good thing you’re able to get a signal on the side of a glacier!

@FPL_Fezzik @mada17g Openedd at 2.88g / 4.88a

There are season-long (Opta-style) assist markets available for around 30 players so far - for those posted, here are the total projected goal involvements Will add to this as we get more player markets + update on noteworthy trends in goal projections as pre-season develops

I got some news! @FF_Trout, @FPL_Spaceman and @ThisIsJorgen and I are building something special. Join our newsletter at fploptimized.com/signup to find out more.   Appreciate any help with spreading the word. #FPL #FPLCommunity #FPLOptimized

@Schadenfreud1st @fbref This is so incredibly nerdy. I love it.

Requesting @fbref to please stop using "e" as the penultimate character followed by a number for their alphanumeric player ids. Excel auto-identifies it as an exponent form and converts it into a number! For eg. Colwill's ID 700783e7 is converted to 7007830000000 🙃

@DevilsITDPod Wondering what you guys would make of a depth move for Chalobah (25yo) if his price is depressed by Chelsea looking to sell? Same question for Gallagher (24yo)? Not sure the contract situations will mean there is a big discount here, but if there were what would you pay?

So following the twin disappointments of both #SkyFF informing us there would no official Premier League fantasy game next season, and England managing to underwhelm the nation despite reaching a 2nd consecutive Euros final and their first overseas in any major tournament 1/

Just got out from seeing Tuesday, and man @patrickhwillems is going to have a hell of a contender on his hands to award both Best Puke and Best Fucked-Up Bird at the 2024 Vitos.

@BonesFPL @Hibbo_FPL Surely a tartan-patterned stress ball could be sent in the mail. Come on Scotland. Get it together.

@Hibbo_FPL Love and admiration. The true prize of life. 👍

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 GAMEWEEK 37 RESULT 75pts all out. 3rd → 1st. Sitting top heading into the final weekend. Hoilett hit was a huge call rewarded with two goals, and two assists. Another interesting game theory choice to be made here. Onwards! #FFScotland

@Arcaddde @FPL_Kante @FPLOptimized fploptimized.com

@FPL_Kante @FPLOptimized Where do I get this analysis from for my own team? 🙏

The guy who is winning #FPL this season. Holy guacamole!

@BonesFPL @BobbleLeaguePro @ASC_FPL @FPL_Kante @Ryan_ms28 @FPLOptimized True, but winning FPL as an 11-year-old is pretty good.

@BobbleLeaguePro @ASC_FPL @FPL_Kante @Ryan_ms28 @FPLOptimized 9yo finishing 180k is cause for serious repercussions. Useless.
