  • John Walsh: 5th in our Hall of Fame. 9 successive top 40k finishes, including 5 in the top 10k.
  • FPL Harry: 10th in our Hall of Fame. 8 top 30k finishes in 10 years, including 5 in the top 10k.
  • Keilan Kenny: 38th in our Hall of Fame. 5 successive top 30k finishes.
  • Nick (FPL Spartan): 63rd in our Hall of Fame. 9 successive top 50k finishes, and a separate finish of 282nd.

    Both options score 12 points, which do you think is more likely to occur in the option quarter (9 x GWs)?
    A) defender scoring a goal and hitting DEFCON twice.
    B) defender making FOUR assists.

    When I put it like this, my Palestra selection seems stupid.

        one goal and DEFCON 3 times is still miles more likely than a defender making 4 assists.

    Final decision, no Haaland BB1, FH3:

    A) White, Ballard, Mbuemo, Isak
    B) Gabriel, Shaw, Palmer, Emersonn

    On A, I’m worried White loses his place, I need him GW4, and Mbuemo is a liability for mins also. Isak an injury risk.

    On B, Shaw can just be benched after GW2, Emersonn is a 1 week BB punt then benched. Palmers bad fixture in 3 is skipped due to FH then I have him for Hull in 4. Gabriel over White fixes the aforementioned dilemma.
