Crouching on the touchline enthusiast. Best OR: 5,637 | 19,948 | 30,859 | 34,293 2025/26: 72,012 Football Trivia League team captain - youtube.com/@FootballTriviaLeague
Where we're at with 10 days to go. Fairly set on this structure, although could make a few amendments to go for a BB1. Main considerations are downgrading VVD to Munoz or Foden to Ndiaye and freeing up £1m (would love to go Hinshelwood over Gross).
Wasn't originally keen on an early BB as I don't want to lock into an early WC but I quite like this. Would likely flip Petrovic and Ndiaye for Dubravka and Foden (if he starts well) in GW3 if so.
Blimey, no Haaland team is actually mental. I know he always starts well but you'd likely make the points up elsewhere...
Had a little play around (couldn’t resist!) and this will do for now. See you all in a few weeks when we’re in crunch time!
Enjoyed this season review feature. Hilarious how much Rogers has trolled me this season and also really surprised by how much I apparently owned Saka?! Only one striker making my 11 shows what a different season this was.
This season once again illustrated how important chip season is. Managed to go from 270k > 72k in 7 weeks while still leaving a lot of points on the table and not particularly nailing it. Will become increasingly important as seasons and teams become ever more homogenised.
GW38 All out for 65 🌍 75k Final rank of 75k having seen the leak and done Haaland to Bowen. Absolute slog of a season but happy with today and won the money mini-leagues. Enjoy the summer everyone, maybe next season will be more fun 😅
68 all out and a small green up to 96k. First time I’ve been in the top 100k since GW18 😅 One more week before this slogfest is finally over!
GW37 1FT Palmer > Saka Saka (c) 🌍 108k Penultimate gameweek with nothing much to care about bar a top 100k finish (which is very 🤷♂️) Cole departs, Munoz sits on the bench.
91 all out and a disappointing end to the GW with the Man City no shows. Up to 108k but the 50k dream is certainly dead now. Aim is to try and secure a third consecutive top 100k 🤞
So far so good. Hopefully Haaland can smash some more on Weds to comfortably nestle me in the top 100k with two games left 🤞
GW36 Struijk and Senesi > Gabriel and Munoz Haaland (tc) 🌍 132k Locking in for the last exciting GW of the season. Need to break 100k this week…
56 all out and a small red down to 132k. That Burnley goal was a real killer. Felt the Leeds treble defence was a good way to climb but should’ve hedged with Senesi for one of them. Top 50k probably dead but hoping to break top 100k next week with TC.
GW34 No transfers Haaland (c) 🌍 129k Decided I want to push for top 50k so decided against Gabriel. Going triple Leeds defence and also benching Palmer.
Biggest benching headache of the season. If I move Senesi > Gab I’d drop Hinshelwood out but not sure I fancy Arsenal for the CS. Really not big on Palmer this week either.
63 on the FH and a small green up to 129k. Not going with the triple Arsenal defence is the only real regret, but the last two weeks have gone pretty well overall.
Current FH draft. Decisions are: Cunha v Gibbs White Virgil/Mavropanos v Bowen Lammens v Literally anyone
126 all on on the BB. João Pedro no-show was annoying but still amounts to a 19 point bench which you’ll take. 🌍 283k > 153k Top 50k feels very unlikely but remains the aim. Onwards to tomorrow’s FH!
87 so far on BB with 9 more to come tonight. Bar the Chelsea boys it’s gone pretty well but my aim of 150 points looks unlikely unless Man City go wild at Turf Moor…
GW33 BB active Gabriel > Bijol Haaland (c) 🌍 283k Here we go then, the big one! Should’ve gone with Bijol last week but was unsure if Rodon would be back, decided it’s more fun to have him than Gab who I really can’t see getting a clean. Hoping for 150+.
54 all out on the WC and a small red down to 283k. While a red on a WC would normally be horrendous, I feel ok about this as I outscored my previous team by 4 points and have set up the big BB next week. Let’s hope O’Reilly makes it 🤞
Easily the weirdest (and worst?) WC I’ve ever played but we’re setting up the BB and looking to make gains with all chips remaining. Decided on Gabriel over a third Leeds defender and gone Welbz and Hinshelwood to at least have a smidgen of fun. Let’s hope this weekend isn’t a bloodbath…😅
GW31 61 all out and another reasonable green up to 268k. Thiaw getting 0 was annoying, should’ve just saved the transfer, but can’t complain too much. 4 chips left for the last 7 gameweeks so still hopeful of making top 100k 🤞
GW31 1 FT Saliba > Thiaw Bruno (c) 🌍 297k 🏦 £1.1m Locking in early. Going with Bruno cap as he’s stung me too much of late. Went Thiaw over Andersen and tbh have no idea whether I think this is a good team or not... Good luck all!
GW30 was ok and saw a small green up to 297k. Problem is the bad weeks I’ve had recently have hit me so much I now can’t seem to progress back toward the top 100k. Definitely finding this season a slog 😅 Will likely be Thiaw or Andersen for Saliba so I can field 11 this week.
GW30 2 FT Guiu and Munoz > Thiago and Rodon Ekitike (c) 🌍 318k The Munoz experiment comes to an end and it really couldn’t have gone worse. Hoping the Spurs collapse continues. Good luck all!
An absolute bloodbath. 38 points and a 163k red arrow. Think any hope of a really good season have gone now. Everything went wrong. Saliba injured, Wilson injured, Munoz off injured after 14 mins, Haaland captain blank and basically every threat returns. Thankful for the international break 😅
Forgot to post the team yesterday. 12 points from 4 is a fairly shocking start. I gambled on Haaland being fit so have to hope he eases the pain somewhat 🤞
