• Mini wildcard played (sort of).

• Well this came about quite interestingly, I was playing about with possible transfers and realised getting a full XI out was pretty doable, can’t have them all but found ways of making some fun transfers (bit template, bit differential ish).

• Sometimes taking hits is a way of making it more fun and getting players you want to have, to make it more enjoyable and be effective.

• I like having players who have it in them to come up with something a bit different, a bit of magic in their boots or are useful on set pieces, it is boring to say but what can I say, it feels like a GW that may be a bit mad (I can give you stats of home and away form, how players are attacking, or how many assists players get but this season is bonkers so let’s see how it goes eh).

• Brighton defence covered (decent fixture).

• I have cover in terms of ownership but got a few differentials, I may as well roll the dice a bit.

• I felt like rolling the dice a bit, freshen it up, and having new players/options/freeing up funds is useful going in to an international break.

• Different or most teams covered, ok, I know there is XG and all that but it’s football, picking decent players with different ways (e.g set piece takers) of getting points is half the battle.

• 5.5 mil in the bank (FPL).

• Relaxed, enjoying the GW/football in general, sometimes it is fun to do something a bit different.
