@fpl_tactician Thanks Andy. Congratulations for having that foresight, as it looked like season over then and also on new years when we lost 4-0 at Boro. Are you able to confirm we will finish in the top 6, then win the playoffs?
@AlfieHouseEcho It's getting worse. The Championship is more fun but you still want to be competing against the best teams. If it happens (still think we will fall short) it requires the recruitment to be spot, like Sunderland have.
Why would any Saints fan want to win promotion back to the VAR-having, fun banning, big-six swagging, manager-sacking Premier League?

@FPL_Harry@SimonR_FPL@LetsTalk_FPL Too much of an obsession with what these guys say anyway. I play in different leagues with around 50 people and don't know anyone who hasn't already usef their WC. I'm ranked around 33k and enjoy listening to their opinions but their whole chip strategy doesn't always work well
@SimonR_FPL@LetsTalk_FPL That’s not good advice though IMO and not advice I’d believe in either. There is a very real possibility, albeit small, that wildcard 32 is not the play at all and the 0.5m you might gain is not worth that potential downfall.
Instead of saying things like it's all theoretical, #fpl creators like @LetsTalk_FPL & @FPL_Harry could be saying to play the wildcard now (like me) specifically for price rises and then swap players once we have full info. Just an idea really to keep it interesting.

If Southampton FC won all of our remaining league games, (7) we'd be on 84 points.
We are absolutely not going to do that, but say we did get close, and ended on 80 ish points.
Where would we finish?
@SaintsExtra He's fine as a back up in the Championship. He has his flaws, but shows enthusiasm and works hard for the team. We knew he wasn't going to be a goal machine but has already scored some really important ones against Watford and WBA.
Season starting to get stressful. Incredible run of form but we are still only just clinging on to a playoff spot. 2 huge games against Derby and Wrexham after the break which we can't afford to lose. #saintsfc
Strange line up, but it's been a relentless schedule so a bit of rotation is probably needed. No Scienza is a huge miss. Most will probably lose their heads at the inclusion of Archer. Unfortunately this is where the run ends, so be prepared for it.
Saints 0-1 Oxford
Credit to Tonda and all that for this incredible run of form. Peretz has been good too. But let's be honest, it's really all down to the return of James Bree. 12 unbeaten with 5 goal contributions. No wonder the greatest manager of all time loves him #saintsfc#breesinyourhead
Heart stopping stuff at the end there. Nearly Stephens OG then Peretz keeps us in it. Ref trying his best to let Norwich score. It was scrappy, it was a battle, but it's 3 points. Get in #saintsfc
Norwich have just come to kick us off the park, and doing a pretty good job of it. Got to be happy with 1-0 but still too nervy until we score at least 2 more. Looked better once we upped the tempo after 20 mins. James Bree is absolutely everywhere, even in your head #saintsfc
We've got all the momentum, but Norwich should not be underestimated. I correctly predicted 2-1 win on Saturday. Think we will have to settle for 1-1 tonight though #saintsfc
@L1minus10 We seem to get so close then just fall short. Does feel like 4 points from the next 2 is now acceptable, but would much rather pile the pressure on Wrexham, especially ahead of the game at their place.
A draw wouldn’t be the worst result in the world, but it would be nice to make a statement tonight with the door being left open by Wrexham’s defeat last night. #saintsfc
