Gameweek 31 Review 🔥 Points: 70 Rank: 3,141 → 1,818 Up to my highest rank of the season. Feels great heading into the break. Slightly greedy going Salah → Wilson, but it worked. WC32, BB33, FH34 loading. Hoping MCI beat LIV in the FA Cup. Another huge season on the cards.

2nd best defence itl DC monster + Attacking threat People dont own the best defender in the game bar Ars defs , Lovely.

Everything you need to know about playing Triple Captain in Gameweek 26 – summarised Last season I Triple Captained Salah for 87 points and this season Haaland for 48 points, here's my deep dive into Triple Captain GW26 👇 Arsenal have a Double Gameweek in GW26 with fixtures against Brentford (A) and Wolves (A), creating an opportunity to use Triple Captain on players such as Gabriel, Rice or Timber, all of whom are projecting around ~10 expected points. The popular chip strategy • Dead-end team into Blank GW31 • Wildcard GW32 • Bench Boost GW33 (likely a big double) • Free Hit GW34 (blank for teams doubling in GW33) Why follow this plan? • We have full understanding on Double GW33 and Blank GW34 by GW32 for Wildcard. • It makes more sense to Bench Boost than Triple captain in GW33 as we are expecting 3–4 doubles. • It’s difficult to set up a Bench Boost with doublers without using a Wildcard beforehand. • Teams that double in GW33 will blank in GW34, making Free Hitting in GW34 the optimal way to navigate this. If we follow this strategy, Triple Captain must be used outside of Double GW33. That leaves Double GW26 (now) or potentially Double GW36 (~50% likely). What needs to happen for a Double GW36? The most likely double would involve Man City: • Brentford (H) • Burnley (A) (most likely) or Crystal Palace (H) For a Double GW36 to be forced, Man City or Burnley would need to reach the FA Cup semi-finals, with City also continuing to progress deep in the Champions League. There is also a chance that Blank GW34 fixtures are moved to GW36 instead of GW33. This didn’t happen last season, but there is one fewer week between the FA Cup QFs and DGW33 this year, increasing the possibility slightly. Could any other Double Gameweeks happen? Yes. If Villa reach the Europa League final and Villa, Liverpool, or both reach the FA Cup final, a Double GW36 could occur (roughly ~10% likelihood): • Villa: Burnley (A), Liverpool (H) • Liverpool: Chelsea (H), Villa (A) Pros of Triple Captaining in GW26: • Guaranteed Double Gameweek • Strong CoVariance, as most managers own 3 Arsenal players • FA Cup weekend between fixtures = added rest • GW36 double may not happen, forcing a Triple Captain in a single GW. • Title race may be settled by GW36, increasing City rotation risk • The second game for City of Double Gameweek 36 would be the midweek before they play in the FA Cup final, if the league is also over = mass rotation. They could of course double in 36 and get knocked out in the semi final though. • Injury risk to premium options (Haaland) Pros of Triple Captaining in GW36 • Ability to Triple Captain a premium asset (Haaland) • Clearer picture of rank goals and risk appetite, can punt on a wild differential if chasing rank. • If the double lands, projected points would likely be higher (assuming no injury or xMins risk) Conclusion: Ultimately, the Triple Captain decision comes down to certainty (GW26) versus upside and risk (GW36). When you factor in DGW36 uncertainty alongside uncertainty around Haaland’s future xMins, injury risk, and the possibility of the league being wrapped up, playing the chip this week feels much clearer. I understand holding it for later in the season if you’re rank-chasing, but sitting around 15k overall, that doesn’t really apply to me.

We’re a smaller sample, so there are limitations, but using median over mean helps reduce outliers. Compared with other similar-sized samples of analytical managers (not shown), our results still indicate strong performance. All Synergy FPL managers are followed.

One thing that stood out to me this gameweek is how much managers undervalue their free transfers. Many have already burned through their 5 AFCON transfers and even taken hits. This is a chaotic part of the season. Fixture congestion brings injuries, rotation and short turnarounds, so situations change fast. Free transfers are your in-game currency. Spend them too cheaply and you lose flexibility. Patience keeps options open, improves decision making and allows you to make more rewarding moves when others can’t.

@FPL_Bronx Huge!

Opened my Christmas present a bit early. 4-year rank 1 🚀 5-year rank not too bad as that was my first active season.

Here are my Gameweek 18 thoughts. Rank: 3,117 🌍 Free Transfers: 5 Chips left: None I had 5 free transfers coming into the week but have already made an early move from Bruno Fernandes to Cunha. I now have 4 transfers and would like to use at least one to avoid starting Minteh in a tough fixture, particularly against my double Arsenal defence. I like Ekitike as an option, but he’s expensive and as some of you will know, I’m not keen on investing heavily in forwards this season given the midfield alternatives. With likely future moves back to Bruno, to Palmer and the possibility of Salah becoming viable again, I want to keep funds in midfield. That makes Szoboszlai to Wirtz (with the option to move back to Szoboszlai or from Saka to Szoboszlai next week), or Kroupi Jr to Calvert-Lewin. While Calvert-Lewin is still a forward investment, he’s cheap and would likely ride my bench most weeks and provide more squad depth. Both moves use just one transfer, whereas Ekitike would require two, and I value patience with free transfers more than most managers. We'll see where I end up! Merry Christmas all! 🎅

I’m set to Triple Captain Haaland this week. Rank: 4,052 🌍 Free Transfers: 4 Chips left: Triple Captain I brought in Foden in GW15 and O’Reilly last week with the Triple Captain in mind, aiming to maximise my points ceiling with CoVar. If I’m backing Haaland to score or assist heavily in a single game, it also makes sense to include other players from the same team to potentially combine with him for double returns. Unfortunately, Foden and O’Reilly have become fairly template picks anyway. You might wonder why I’m not triple captaining a differential if my aim is to max upside. Early in the season, it’s hard to gauge how much risk is needed to reach your rank goals, as there’s still so much of the season ahead. Normally, I would hold my Triple Captain until later in the season when current rank, rank goals and potentials are clearer, because it’s an easy way to add either risk or safety to your game on the final sprint. However, with the chip expiring by GW19 this season, I decided to use it when a single player offers the highest projected points and I’m confident that player is Haaland this week.

Cunha another 99 mins 1.01 xGI after last game's 98 mins and 1.15 xGI and got his deserved return finally. Good week onto the next.

FH16 72pts 21k -> 30k Bit of a shit FH. Removing Foden and Semenyo who score 2 goals from a combined 0.32 xG. O'Reilly and VVD keeping CS from 2.0 xGC each. Don't even want to calculate the swing vs FH13. Team looks incredible next gw at least.

Gameweek 16 Review ✅ Points: 82 Rank Update: 4,971 → 4,057 (+18%) Chips Left: Triple Captain A 7th green arrow in a row. I really thought this would be the week I saw red with no Thiago, but Bruno had other ideas. The plan now is to Triple Captain, await the Szoboszlai injury news and probably roll if he’s fine. The team looks well set and I’m liking the two £4.5m forwards structure to differentiate.

Bruno Fernandes is now the top-scoring midfielder in FPL. Haters said Data FC were wrong. Paying £9.0m just to count DefCons? “Waste of money...he plays too deep.” Truth is, he has more routes to points than anyone else & is one of the best picks in the game. Season holder.
