All In

Final Rank: 2,239,174

A green arrow, but a lacklustre one. I think the final week really summed up my season. I gave very little thought to my transfers, then just copied the most picked players when I tuned in to Let's Talk FPL earlier, lol, (though dimly I went with Saka as opposed to Bowen).

I did start the season saying I was going to copy the template, and weirdly I've ended up doing just that. Though badly. I've became a very casual, uninvested player. Of course, I'll most certainly play again next season, but the question is: Can I Find The Required Enthusiasm?

And, more to the point, should I? Perhaps it just isn't as high up on my priorities these days. Maybe it's in the realms of Super6, where I do it, but with little thought. Though, saying all this, I have been a little distracted this season. [...]

Either way, I have to get back to playing my own way - and to my own instincts.

Last GAMEWEEK of the SEASON

Well, last week of the season. My team actually looks fairly decent. I've just transferred out De Bruyne and Wood to bring in Evanilson and Saka with my two frees.

The captaincy is currently on Salah, but I might change that. Hmm?

My wildcard and subsequent bench boost weeks went so-so. 58 points on the wildcard (avg. was 43), 68 points on the bench boost (avg. 39).

Technically you could say the bench boost earned me 23 points, but in reality I'd have started Cucurella, so it was a measly 10 points in truth. Still, I got a decent rank boost overall.

I'm now sat at around 2.3m in rank. Could I sneak into the top two million?

Obviously, as I've lamented repeatedly on here, this season has been a washout for me. Hopefully next season will be a fresh start though.

I'll post once more this season to show how it all ended up.

(I've just switched the captaincy to Mbeumo as a fun final week differential!)

Two hours 'til kick off.

Late Season Wildcarding

Okay, so I've knocked up a little wildcard team for GW36. With a view to bench boosting in GW37. I'm liking the look of it, though obviously, given how the season's trailing out, it's a tad half-hearted.

I'll no doubt tinker a little between now and the deadline.

No Doubles, Big Troubles

Well, since my last post we've had four gameweeks. Three where my Assistant Manager chip was active; then the latest week where I had to navigate the blanks. Obviously, my season was over anyway. However, I've still managed to climb a little bit, so it's going well within that overall more disastrous context.

I've climbed from 4.1 million

to 2.6 million since GW28

I had Glasner as my AM. He scored 8 points, 2 points, then 15 points in the final week. So 25 overall. I was fairly pleased with that, especially given I got a little bit of table bonus with that final draw against Arsenal.

I'll share my team for blank GW34 below. I would've had eleven playing if Robinson had played, so I got a tad unlucky there. In the round it was pretty decent though, given many people were free hitting.

Plans, plans, plans..

My plan was to wildcard this week, in preparation for a bench boost in the "double" of GW36. Alas, that cannot be though, as there are no doubles. So it's a change of plan. This week I've left things as is, as my team doesn't look too bad (though I have used my free transfer to switch Gordon to Mbeumo - who I've captained). And next week I'll wildcard instead, to then bench boost in GW37. There'll be no doubles, but still, it'll be a luxury bench boost, as I'll be able to pick strong single gameweek players. So I'll get a bit of fun and enjoyment.

With the season coming to a close I can then start looking to next season. I'll need a plan for then too.
