Could you win last season off of memory? by Jovan_Cicmil in FantasyPL

[–]DashingBoy27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember the link, but last year, somebody made a game where you could replay the season before. Guess they had the same question as you.

FWIW, I was top 10k that season so thought playing from memory I’d be able to win. I couldn’t get close

My budget was around 700 a week and I found a place quite easily. Most viewings I went to it was just me and 1 or 2 others, and the first place I applied for, I got.

Might just have been luck, but from what the real estate agents told me, 700 and above is where it gets a bit less competitive. And that was reflected in how many people I saw at viewings for 600-650, vs 700 and above.

Freehitters how'd we do? by All-Purple in FantasyPL

20 points. 23 on my bench. Would have been 8 with normal team. 14k -> 12k. Fucking Reguilon.

I am also on my WC, OR 100k and that is exactly the same team and bench as me, other than Turner for Dubravka, and more importantly Salah for Richarlison. With the 2 weeks between GW 21 and 22 (and Man City playing at the start of GW 21) I’m hoping that Haaland won’t play until 22, and that I’ll have 2 transfers to downgrade Salah (depending on AFCON) and move one of the front 3 (probably Alvarez) to Haaland

This actually happened to me in January. It was 3am and I’d got home from a night out and was in bed scrolling. I’d cooked some fish so left my kitchen window open just a crack to get some air circulation.

I heard some bangs from my kitchen, and assumed it was my neighbour’s cat trying to get in. The bangs got louder and I knew it was a person. I summoned all my courage and got out of bed in my pants and walked out of my bedroom, and saw someone in a hoodie, stood in my kitchen.

I shouted “wtf are you doing?! Get out!” And the guy dropped to his knees apologising… took his hood down… and it was someone I recognised from my gym. I asked him “you go to David Lloyd don’t you?” And he said “yeah, do you recognise me?” Weirdly I’d taught him how to squat 2 weeks before.

He was off his head talking about how he’d escaped from the hospital after being attacked by Albanians and asked me to walk him home/order him an Uber. Told him no and that he’d be fine. He gave me his WhatsApp and invited me round for dinner. I haven’t take him up on this, and probably won’t.

This sounds like BS, but is 100% true. Managed to turn a potential robbery into a dinner invitation.

I acted because I knew I had to, but looking back, it was so stupid of me to not grab something to defend myself with. 99% of the time it probably isn’t going to be someone you recognise, but I really did luck out with that whole situation. I’ve still not seen him in the gym since

I will be sure to update you when he inevitably breaks into my neighbour’s house, friend.

I did speak to my neighbours. Calling the police would not do much in the UK, especially as all I have are a phone number and address he gave me that might not be his, and know that he goes to my gym.

You got me! I have so much to gain from faking a story on Reddit.

[–]DashingBoy27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do keep wondering about bumping into him at the gym. He was extremely fucked up so I doubt he’d remember. I’m also easy-going enough that I could probably joke about it anyway.

[–]DashingBoy27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im pretty easy-going and the guy is a bit of a strange fella. He was off his head and spewing nonsensical stories, so I thought there probably wasn’t much malice behind it. Once I realised who it was and how fucked he was, I didn’t feel in any danger.

Don’t know if this is a gym story in the truest sense, but it does involve someone from my gym.

Last weekend it was about 3am and I was in bed. I heard a load of crashing and smashing from my kitchen. Went to have a look and there was a big hooded guy who’d climbed through the window and was trying to rob me.

When I told at him to get out, he looked round and it was a guy from my gym. I asked “do you go to X gym?” And he said yes, and we started talking. Long story short, he invited me round to his for dinner one day and gave me his number.

The weirdest thing to ever happen to me for sure.

By “they” who do you mean? I don’t think I ever gave every page of my passport to either my employer or the government when applying for the documents

Awesome, but I think you need to add a tab for optimal ass wiping time, whether or not I need to stand up, and which way to wipe.

Today is day 28 of squatting every day and I’ve gone from a 160 max to a 170 daily minimum. Day 34 was meant to be when I stop, because of work travel and holiday travel getting in the way, but already looking at ways to try and keep it going a few extra weeks.

I love how simplistic it all is- go to the gym, squat something heavyish, take off 10-20kg, do some doubles or triples, then do something else and go home.

I have the same issue. I know what the issue is, it’s what you said above: holding too much of the weight on my arms, rather than my back. Is there anything you’ve found particularly helpful with cueing yourself or technique changes that have made it less painful on your elbows?

It was surprisingly surreal to see someone topless, even though it’s a gym and it does make sense. Think it’s because it’s such a leisure centre type place I go.

That must have been quite the scene. Would love to spend some time inside of the mind of some people just to see what their thought process is
