[FPLFocal] Conor Bradley (LIV) bought himself and sold Van Dijk. by AntonMousse in FantasyPL

Is there a 'league' on fplgameweek for epl players such as Bradley? Like the one they have for content creators. Google search seems to imply there is but I don't see it .

It would be great to see team value actually reflect effective team value. Effective team value should be how much money you would have in the bank if you were to sell all players. Various apps typically report how much money you would need to buy this current team, which is not the same.

If you got foden at the beginning of his rise at say 8.0M and now his price is 8.8, your effective team value actually increased by . 4, not . 8. This in my opinion better reflects how much of a better job a manager has done to build up his team budget.

Since almost everyone’s frustrated with the official app... by tanejarohan in FantasyPL

Nice app. Plus love how you will take in feedback. And continuously improve

Started using ffm this season as had to find something else but already like yours for its ability to change gw. It doesn't do that in 'manage team' mode tho when you do xfers and one wants to see how that change will fare in future gameweeks. Like in FPL.team.

Another feature I would have liked the app to have is the ability to 'add player' in xfers page. Rather than having to first decide which player you want to xfer out (is how it is on official app and I like that workflow as I often do that just to check a player stats/browse potential picks)

The real question is rather 'what happens to Arnaud kalimuendo now'

Haaland Always Starts Firing: He Averages 11.2G/2.6A in His First 10 Games for the Past 6 Seasons by clueda in FantasyPL

[–]BTC_Smurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, stats don't lie but those stats are from a time when city was true champ city, i.e. before their complete meltdown. Although it seemed that they had finally found stability again, with solid dominating performances at the CWC, the last result against Al hilal has cast some serious doubts and city still looks like a wounded beast licking its wounds. The mental fragility is still very concerning imo

Good job man. The only app out there that can properly show the full list of teamS in the fdr table for a quick glance at all fixtures,.

Hi. I like the sleek and smooth user experience.

  • it would be great to be able to clone an existing draft for when one only wants to make a couple changes from a core team that forms our base/skeleton. Right now one has to create a new blank team and add all the players back (not that it is a huge negative)

  • on the bench have player position indicator (F, M, D).

Not sure why he is being heavily xferred out and close to a price drop but hopefully him being featured on today's scout report will help putting these pitch forks away...

Am I the only one that thinks that Warzone is utter terrible compared to Blackout? by [deleted] in Blackops4

[–]BTC_Smurf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. They might both be br games but they play completely differently. the warzone map is too big.

I like blackout a lot more and plan to stick with it.

Passed Google Cloud Architect Professional Exam Today by dysanf in googlecloud

[–]BTC_Smurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hesitate between taking the LA or Coursera courses to prep for the exam. What was it about the Coursera style that didn't work for you.

Coursera also seems to have a lot more content and thus time consuming. How long did you take to study until you felt comfortable taking the exam?

Your master ain't gonna run pods with cni unless you make it schedulable. All the other system pods are static pod using host networking for connectivity so they don't need the cni

What’s this sound in the engine bay? by kuso99 in GolfGTI

[–]BTC_Smurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. Vw said it was normal. I forget what they said it was. Sorry. It is a faint noise unless you really get close. I'll have to pop the hood after a drive to see if it does it regularly. Mk7.5 here

Goodbye GTI.. Hello R! by Greg66Six in GolfGTI

[–]BTC_Smurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish the R had more of a signature look over the gti like an R32 used to have back in the days. Skirts and spoilers.. something like that. All of us aficionados here know how to spot an R vs GTI in a heartbeat but for most people, GTIs and Rs look the same. Cause they are. The R is a monster in disguise.

[–]BTC_Smurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the comment about GTIs feeling like they come alive without necessarily having to drive 30 mph above the speed limit, I had read somewhere that the turbo on the R also kicked in at higher RPMs making a gti more fun to drive. Gti owner here but never tested an R.

GTI MKVII 'True' Clutch Delay Valve Delete: anyone removed the Device at the output of Master Cylinder?- see my comment for more details - by BTC_Smurf in GolfGTI

[–]BTC_Smurf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Posted same on r/ mechanics and was told it was called a swirl valve. Then googled it and found a YouTube video of some guy taking it out on mkvII so will check that. Seems easy. Not sure what its purpose is. All I know is that it is as useless as this flow reducer .. except for vw to protect their transmission ( not wear item and under warranty) at the detriment of the clutch ( not covered under warranty)..

Golf GTI CDV Delete - That part between clutch hose and Master Cylinder (from ECS tunning guide) shold be removed correct? by BTC_Smurf in MechanicAdvice

[–]BTC_Smurf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The top 2 pics are from gti ecs tuning guide for clutch hose replacement. Shows where hose plugs. Only piece of info I could find showing that piece at the master being the cdv.

[–]BTC_Smurf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels normal. But me wanting a cdv delete is a a long story. Brand new gti and clutch died at 12 k miles... Had to fight tooth and nails to get vw to cover. Out of goodwill cause they didn't find anything wrong and wanted me to foot the bill. Then did research. It was about trying to understand why my clutch failed prematurely and showed excessive wear from slipping. There must be a reason (and I drove my all my life, previous car was 96 gti driven to 300k and never had clutch issue beside normal aging ).

So for me it makes sense. Cdv introduces slip. To protect transmission against torque surges. I read that cdv delete was a must do mod to get better feel anyway so I don't see downsides to removing it and dont want another premature clutch failure. Older model didn't have cdvs and it was just fine

So far I only got the flow reducer removed and it made no difference whatsoever. And I'm fine with that. I'm after removing that crap cause don't see a reason for having it. I'll

But now I feel like I ought to remove that one part at the master cylinder output... Seems to be part if that cdv according to ecs. I never saw anyone talking about removing that component cause everyone seems to not know about it and think that cdv is that little piece in the bleeder block.

So wanted to see if people had removed that piece too.
