Letting It Wash Over Me { Edited/Added To On 08/10/25 }06/09/2025
Sitting here, letting it wash over me, as they say in Spanish – ‘No hay prisa’. There is no rush. (To roughly translate) Happy here thank you, it is sound.… Read more: Letting It Wash Over Me { Edited/Added To On 08/10/25 }

Feel free to laugh at the Van Wolfswinkel bit – that goal for Norwich City against Everton for my FPL team in GW1 – was priceless though!

Having had so many memoriable differentials over the years, some of them do not work out sometimes.

Win some, lose some.

As someone who loves a differential, and delighted that so many came in over the years, it is interesting to see some of the players that were around in the Premier League back then from a general football point of view (partly from an intellectual perspective, and partly in a nostalgic way)

Football moves so fast international breaks or FA Cup weekends or that sorta thing offer opportunities to look back on past seasons!

Anyway, time to look back on old picks & that.

Lucas Digne’s double GW captain haul does make for better reading though.

**Added:** **Zoom in perhaps**: from Colombia International **James Rodriguez** to Morocco & former Ajax attacker **Ziyech** to former Burnley striker **Ashley Barnes**: whether player X, Y or Z did the business in 1 match 6 or 12 matches or anywhere inbetween – this is the beauty of the game that is **Fantasy Premier League** (**FPL**)

The 3-4-3 all out attack play – one of my favourite ever GWs that!

| Super FPL Positives |

| Experimentation, Exploration & Engagement (And Stimulation) |

As somebody who has literally played every single formation there is to possibly play in FPL – at some point – the game has allowed me to explore different ways of playing the game.

Improving (my) knowledge of football/the Premier League (Even Further)

It has also affected how I watch matches, from the earlier days of marvelling over silky number 10s with the likes of Santi Cazorla, David Silva and Mesut Özil – to the likes of Kevin Nolan, Michu, Thomas Soucek & Ilkay Gündogan (those who arrive late in the area to bag goals) – to wide forwards such as Marcus Rashford, Mohamed Salah & Raheem Sterling.

It has helped me look at players in more detail – the positions that they were taking – which areas of the penalty areas they were getting into.

| Networking & That |

Aside from the joy of having so many brilliant and memorable GWs, playing FPL has enabled me to network on social media, by interacting with different people from the FPL community.

As well as putting myself out there on Twitter, I have been to the occasional event, and I have had the honour of contributing to Fantasy Football Scout and for FPLHints.

This allows me to view or listen to fantastic podcasts from people from different cities, towns & countries – soaking up fascinating insights about how Premier League clubs operate on a weekly basis – and to understand ‘Premier League manager’ language before transfering in or selecting players (or business-esque language if you like).

| Creativity & That |

Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports Fantasy Football (SkyFF) too – someone bring back that outstanding game back please!

Anyway, fantasy football gives me an outlet to get somewhat creative with blog posts, posting on social media etc.

This has meant giving me responsibility by posting my teams most weeks.

Actually, in fairness, that sort of thing does not bother me a great deal, but I think it can push you to stay on your toes and to avoid complacency.

| Language, Words & That |

What is more important than communication – whether it is in English, Spanish, Portuguese or any other language – words are so key.

They are pretty important in this game too – an estimated 11 million + people play the game all around the world or at least have a team still in play

Seasons are long, from August to May (usually!), and as much as it is a nice thing to literally pick some footballers on a screen! It’s not working down the mines is it. But. FPL teams do need a lot of maintaince (to some extent!) in a season, the chips do help too. But there is a lot to keep on top of, engage with etc.

‘Differential’, ‘upside’, ‘effective ‘ownership’, ‘heavy hitters or premiums‘, ‘maverick, ‘dullard’ etc.

| Fun, Favourite And/Or Fearless Picks/Differentials From Over The Years |

And so many more!

What do you think, feel free to leave a comment or drop me a message for a gab about the footy, perhaps you recall a number of the featured players (in the previous images featured in this post or mentioned in the post)

• This is a semi-experimental post

• This post consists of somewhat recycled content

It is good for the environment!

In all seriousness, any positivity that highlights enjoyment, embraces nature and/or encouraging wellbeing from a mental or physical perspective – e.g encourages walking around nature or highlights green spaces or anything green really – in relation to other posts.

This site has a new look as some people may know, so some posts are reposted.

The current ‘layout’ is likely to stay the same (same posts are staying up at present).

• Any likes or shares or word of recommendations would be very much appreciated

This post was produced mainly through memory, but also in thanks to fantastic websites such as Transfermarkt, official Fantasy Premier League etc.
