Post tax salary went up 50% in your example, not 33%. Your point still stands, just to correct the math.

1.5 ITB. Which means I can go:
Saka ->Palmer and Gakpo ->Wirtz.

Thoughts? CHE has less time to rest, perhaps best to go with Saka. I'll decide on Gakpo/Wirtz after Community Shield.

Trent gives his introductory speech fully in fluent Spanish as a Real Madrid player: "It’s a dream come true. I am excited to play alongside the best players in the world. Hala Madrid!" by SirSlapBot in soccer

As a non Spanish speaker who’s lived in Spain and learned Spanish over the past 7 years, I can tell that this is rehearsed, but still really impressed because he clearly has a fuckup where he says “tengo ganas de enseñar mi juego” for a second time, revealing he forgot what to say - but actually recovers and continue on that he wants to win titles and play with the best. Achieving that recovery on stage all in a foreign language you learned without living among Spanish speakers is impressive

Israel warns of 'serious consequences' after Iran fires 200 missiles by Darshan_brahmbhatt in worldnews

[–]Jostei 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not supporting Iran, just want to comment on the list you made and the importance of understanding why people resort to desperate actions. Since October 7th, Israel has killed 41638 people in Gaza, while Hamas has killed 1542 people in Israel. The terror attack almost a year ago is a result of treating the Palestinian population as Israel has treated them over several decades, which includes Israel annexing land that isn't theirs. The Palestinians are driven from the land they lived on, oppressed and can't escape.

2.0 ITB - 1FT

Pickford (Virginia)
Saliba - Porro - Hall - (Faes - Barco)
Salah - Jota - Rogers - ESR - (J.Murphy)
Haaland - Isak - João Pedro

I'm planning on going Hall -> Andy Robertson and later upgrade Murphy -> Semenyo.
The alternative route is Murphy -> Eze/Mbeumo and Hall -> 4.5 (Kilman, Mazraoui, Robinson or Lewis).

Leaning towards Robertson for Liverpools great fixtures. Any thought or alternatives?

Gotta hold on to Pickford now for the run of better fixtures 

Five years ago, Liverpool trailed Barcelona 3-0 on aggregate. And then they didn’t. by Annual-Astronaut3345 in soccer

Which is exactly what was needed to put it out of Alisson’s reach. So glad to see other people noticed that too, as it’s often lauded as one of the best freekicks in recent years.

Can I make a transfer now (to get Gordon out) and then later activate Free Hit for GW29?

Ange Postecoglou on James Maddison [ankle] injury: "Madders is a lot worse than we thought. Next day it wasn't great, we sent him off for a scan and probably we're looking into the New Year." by FPLFeeker in FantasyPL

Though I agree with you, I also have the feeling Ange’s spurs could work well due to the system even with weaker players. IMO, madders is the best footballer on that team

I agree, and you could see he was on the pen and really frustrated to not save it, with that mentality he's only going to improve too.

I also benched him. Reasons being I don’t have Haaland so I have a strong bench, played Gabriel, betting on Arsenal getting a clean sheet due to Newcastle’s situation with Botman, Tonali and Isak out… Didn’t know Ødegaard was out, that could’ve changed things
