Not in order or Pachinko would be at the top with Succession but a fine list I'm sure you all agree.

Not doing Wildcard last week cost me as I got only 69 points and dropped to 12k. Would have been much worse if Raya didn't save the penalty though. Anyway, Ive rewarded him by dropping him in this beautiful WC. Bye bye Palestra. We'll meet again.

FH got me to 449 in the world but hate my squad. Would have WC last weekend if I'd have known Palestra was defo out. Prob still should but me brain hurts.
Only done Hume to Konsa and am risking shite bench for a week. Got to where I am by pure skill but now gonna rely on a bit of luck for once.

Fair to say TC1 on Fernandes went well. 786th in the world but here come the Haaland TCs.
My GW4 team is really nice so FH this week is a no brainer. Semenyo and Gakpo my relative differentials but about to go and get smashed and watch AFL playoffs so hopefuly no wobbles pre deadline.

Nice 88 points for GW1 and I decided to throw the dice on TC this week. Differential that could help win a couple of Manager of the Month pots. Haaland might have fucked that already like.....

the last 2 minutes commentary by Midwest radio, based in County Mayo. Absolute Quality. #speirgorm
Context for those not familiar: Mayo have lost 11 finals in the last 75 years and weren't expected to beat Kerry today in a spectacular final at Croke Park.

Pretty wasted now. If anyone has followed today's press conferences can assist with 21 minutes to go......
Happy for some help this gameweek. On an epic bender and the deadline is at an inconvenient 1am here in Thailand.

The Gorton and Denton by-election: a tale of two Manchesters?
Unpopular incumbent + fragmented opposition + unusual seat = unpredictable contest

Halfway report. At 238k which is ok as I was 4.1m after 5 weeks having spunked a couple of chips too. My city boys sorted me out. Got Foden and Cherki just before their hauls and timed my Haaland TC right.
Rolling this week. Can't afford to upgrade to Dorgu or Gab but team is in ok shape. #FPL
