The Average FPLers
@averagefplers
FPL, football shirts, Minnesota Vikings, random musings, and trying to convince others we definitely meant to pick the wrong captain each week
Friend of mine managed to get me the Costa Rica authentic away for less than retail, it's a lovely shirt! Kind of nice to wear in this sunny weather too
Current MD3 WC. May move one or two around, Argentina is all gambles as they seem fairly set for rotation now they're through and it's Jordan.
GW2 88pts Bad captain choice, few iffy decisions, some bad luck with injuries to 3 players too. WC time to give myself a swing at the rotations and see if i can get a rank jump.
This away shirt had the chance to be well regarded and fantastic, but that break makes it look like a poorly executed shirt with a confused pattern. Doesn't add anything either, so why it's there is a mystery.
Rd2 - 2 transfers out Manzambi Semenyo In Enner Valencia (Old lads for the spectacle) Doue 12th man played. Doue brothers on the bench, the French option is if Williams is a disappointment I have an alternative.
Don't see myself playing WC fantasy but had a go at a team seen as everyone is posting up. Slightly bemused there is a template team considering it's a WC and not just league play. Kessie is the only real iffy choice, but a penalty taker and integral to Ivory Coast. Rest didn't overthink it too
Took a -8 for 3 moves, they returned a total of 5pts. One of those moves I'm certain I did not make, and I did not make DCL my cpt but there you go. It's over, finally.
58pts. Red arrow, another selection mistake, Saka was at least my highest scoring player so I got the captaincy correct. Languishing at 1million, who honestly cares now? Worst season in over a decade, may just get Kyle Walker and call it a season
GW37 Out Munoz Mbeumo In Maguire Saka (-4) Took another hit, fancied Saka today and keeping faith in Mbeumo has gotten me nowhere. Slab head in as no one seems to be talking about the Utd defence and they could keep a CS if MGW is still out for Nottingham Forest
90pts It's nothing fancy, but it's a welcomed rank rise on a BB. Didn't need Canvot for a -4, but I took a chance.
GW36 Out Mavropanos Ouattara Thiaw In Canvot Hinshelwood O'Reilly -8 taken, doesn't matter if I finish 1mill or 850k at this point so why not buy who I want?
GW35 Out Jose Sa Solanke In Raya Calvert-Lewin (-4) Both sales were due to likely season ending injuries, been shit all season regardless of decision making or 'playing safe' so lets just make moves and see what happens.
41pts Sold Richarlison for Solanke which turns out was monumentally stupid, had 4 players in the Monday game and got bugger all as well. Season nearly done, been miserable, Tottenham won finally at least
GW34 Out Van Hecke Timber Richarlison In Mavropanos Munoz Solanke (-4) Went Solanke against City a few weeks back and did me good, lets roll the dice again. I'm doing shit anyhows so why not just enjoy my picks going forwards.
82pts Captain gamble failed, should of kept Van Hecke, Leno outscored DGW keepers pretty much so could of kept him, should of played better this year. Ah well
First FH draft, seems dull like grey hallway paint, but I sort of like it.
42pts Horrible GW, horrible season, horrible feeling of being bad at this game even when you're making moves that are not stupid or reckless. FH coming I think
Another shirt I picked up just over a month ago was the England women's Away ADV shirt. For £50 it's a bargain
GW32 Out Ekitike In Haaland Bit boring, would appear I've not fully got back into the swing of FPL after having 3 weeks off. Could FH next week for 11 DGW players, or BB with SGW players on good fixtures, got a wee bit of time to decide
Anger at the world aside, I have got time to finally picture some shirts and enjoy having them. Some namesets can make or break a shirt, the Día de los Muertos namesets though are nothing short of beautiful.
For anyone after the Curacao shirt, adidas UK has an event/page for both types up. Thankfully that saves me about £120 in VAT, and shipping fees from the only other place that was originally offering the shirt.
GW31 Out Chalobah Munoz Kroupi Jr In Van Hecke Thiaw Richarlison Languishing at my rank so decided to make changes and still have 2 frees next GW if needed.
58pts Wrong captain choice but it's a small gain, have enough transfers to navigate this blank too thankfully.
GW30 Bit late posting as i was away for a wedding, it's been miserable FPL wise, at least i only have Ekitike missing although he is my cpt. Never rains but pores playing this game.
61pts Red arrow, the defence really saved the GW from being an absolute car crash. Some transfers this coming GW may be needed
GW29 Forgot to post my team out Haaland In Ekitike Already expecting to get battered by Haaland now, Hill been the only bright spot in the initial games.
Faith in Timber, and Gabriel getting defcon right at the end of the game helped me walk away with a green arrow. A massive piece of good fortune
