Estupinian Foden Solanke to Udogie MGW Wood

/s

Imagine joy in GW29 2024 will be somewhat sparse.

Smooth.
I kept my free hit.

Rough: was debating selling Morris for Muniz but in the end decided it was too sideways and didn’t. Got a small red arrow and would have got a bigger green one if I had brought him in.

Smooth: resisted pressure and didn’t use FH so still have it for one of the DGWs now. Played with 5 players and only got a small red.

Smooth … Fofana and MGW …. Rough, everything else.

Smooth
Non free hitter, with 16 points and no minus 4s. Small red arrow of 6k. Nice stuff.
Rough
I checked the West Ham score 1701 my local time. It said West Ham won 2-1 with Soucek my differential scoring and getting 3bps. I start cooking dinner and check the scores and the goal was disallowed. Meaning my decent green arrow was now a small red.

Smooth: There is no Smooth, only Zuul.

Rough: 19pts from first eleven on a FH, not a single return from any of them. 25pts on my bench, however.

Rough: All over
Smooth: My brain

15 points on a FH. Only return was Martinez (5) on the bench.

Smooth: Got a return in MGW

Rough: Had Fofana and Roerslev over Morris and Reguilon all week in my FH draft and last minute bottled to the template. 10 point swing. Not major, but relative to the GW was substantial. Major rough was burning FH on this dross of a gameweek

Rough: Standard. Reguilon, all three of my Luton players, Cash and the rest (who are all leaving on WC30)…

Smooth: Antonee Robinson! Didn’t use my free hit. Unexpected green arrow!

FH.

Rough: Castagne on bench.

Smooth: 36 points.

Rough:
a) 16 points inc Reguilon. No goals, assists or clean sheets
b) Leicester lose 4-2 to Chelsea in FA Cup
c) Leicester lose to Gloucester in rugby cup final on Friday
d) Ipswich win 6-0 to get witin 1 point of us in Championship
e) Leeds win to overtale us in Championship
f) Leicester women lose to Tottenham
Smooth:
You're having a laugh aren't you?

Rough: 16 points on a FH with Leno and Fofana on the bench.
Smooth:United beating Liverpool.

All rough.
A grand total of 15 points after playing my Free Hit.
Apart from zeros in GW7 2022/23 and in GW30-38 2019/20 when no games were played, this was my lowest Gameweek score ever.
And I left 21 points on the bench - Areola, Douglas Luiz, Tosin and Robinson.

So the roller-coaster continues - reds and greens in alternate weeks from GW18 onwards - even the Free Hit couldn't break the sequence.
And then Liverpool and lost their Cup match to two very late breakaway goals by Man United.

The only consolation was that it was 'a good week to have a bad score' and I only fell 20k places from 373k to 393k!

Smooth: Muniz, 30-4 pts with 9 players. FH saved.

25 from 10. Robinson saved my GW and got me a healthy green arrow.

Rough: where to start

Smooth: moving through to round 2 of The Hall of Shame Tourney.

Also, had a lovely weekend which included a delicious Persian chicken dinner

Rough - Taylor going from 8pts to 1 in the space of 7 minutes plus extra time.

Smooth - got Muniz in with a FT and scored 29(-4) with only 10 players. I will waste my FH later in the season.

Too soon

Smooth week.
Beat the FH template with 9 players. Will FH in a DGW
Robinson and Muniz my heroes

Rough: downgraded Leno to Flekken on WC to get Salah in next week.
I would of played Leno just for the saves

16 (-12) from 11.

Smooth : still have FH.

Rough: Psychologically, a GW from the bottom of hell and 2 full weeks to remember it.
Smooth: Realistically, it was the same for the majority of FPL players, so I lost just 2k in rank.

Rough
16pt FH, I only had 3 players so I felt I had to use FH, its kinda funny though that if I had done just one of my planned gw30 moves, which was to get Muniz for Solanke to enable Garnacho to Salah, then I would have had a better score 😆

FH got me 15 points.

My bench had 17.

Smooth ; 21 points on FH, GW rank of 1.3m and moved up a 100k or so. Gained 11 points over doing nothing.

Rough; Not a single return. Only good thing was choosing Collins ahead of Reguilon. 26 points on my FH bench! Leno Luiz Robinson and Coufal!

Smooth: Didn't waste FH and no hits means got a couple more points than most.

Rough: How shib the team I made to achieve this has been over the last few weeks.
