I founded this blog one year ago today, in a basement in Lavender Hill. A lot has changed in my life since then, both positive and negative, but I’m glad that I have kept this blog going and posted all this time. I’m not sure what direction I’ll take it in the upcoming years, but […]
Well what goes up, must come down. I knew this was coming eventually, and it seems like almost everyone had a stinker this week. Its quite reassuring to only drop 50k when I finish on 24 points. I moved down to rank 469,663 after a horrendous gameweek. Once again, Pope was a thorn in my […]
Harvey Barnes is an exciting player that managers really should be moving into their teams for the upcoming run of fixtures. I wrote a similar piece about his potential almost a year ago, but I think he’s turned a corner since then and is ready to become a viable fantasy asset. Anyone that has watched […]
What a week! Finally, my luck has turned and my team is very much on the upswing. For the third time in the 4 weeks, I have hit the 70 point threshold, and with this being an especially low scoring Gameweek, it was extra sweet. My differentials chosen on Wildcard really paid off this week, […]
I took a big risk this week, and lets just say it didn’t exactly pay off. I chose to go for the bold differential of Mahrez against West Ham when Salah was such an obvious choice. First the rescheduling of the game made me look like a mug, but Salah’s blank gave me hope that […]
Here we go! The second half of the season upswing is on with my second consecutive 70+ point week, now I just need to keep climbing. The state of my team was dire, so I decided that it was finally time to let go of that wildcard and its worked out quite well, with 73 […]
Like a phoenix, I am reborn from the ashes of my desolation in the last three weeks. This did not really look to be the case, before the second fixture of my double gameweek, as all my players save for KDB blanked, including triple captain Salah. However, he came in clutch and I banged 48 […]
Were I a samurai, now would be a perfectly appropriate time to commit seppuku. One of my most shambolic Gameweeks to date, which is something I thought impossible given how poorly this season is going. I finished on 30 points, a full 14 below average and plummeted down, outside of the top million. I honestly […]
Yikes. I came close to finally getting that elusive green arrow, but once again, I finish above average and still fall in ranks. That being said, I was only one point above average, but the point still stands. Finishing all out with 58 points saw me fall 22k ranks down to 791,379. My captaincy choice […]
While not a disaster, this certainly was not a success. Once again, I was above the average, thanks to some magic from my Leicester duo (not trio mind you), but somehow I still managed to eat a red arrow. With a total of 52 points, I moved down to rank 769,110. I’ll be taking a […]
