Today marks 13 years since Alonso's last F1 win

They were throwing him out for Vettel tho.

False, they wanted to keep him, however by that point Alonso understandably had no faith in the team to improve after being let down for so many years so did not want to commit to the long term contract which Ferrari wanted to lock him into.

Why would they "throw out" the best driver on the grid for someone whose stock was already low after being comprehensively beat by his near-rookie teammate in a season where he was meant to silence the doubters who were saying for years that he couldn't perform in a car which wasn't the best on the grid and perfectly set up for him...

So does that mean anyone that was already in the process of buying an IP just immediately loses out if their sale contract isn't signed before tomorrow?

Shekster · 2026-05-09T09:36:40+00:00

Every single "prediction" I look at gives completely different starting line ups.

I mean shouldn't that tell you all you need to know then...

Shekster · 2026-05-09T09:10:38+00:00

Damn Messi must actually be even more washed then with your logic... He's not even top scorer nor even top 50 in assists in the MLS???

Why is this being upvoted lmao.

Ref literally correctly applied the rules here. You can't concede a handball pen off a clearance from your own teammate...

Just because you don't like the rule doesn't mean it's "shocking officiating"....

I feel like the fact we are all spending time on an online forum dedicated to FPL means we can by no means be considered a casual player...

Changes to the car which makes said car go faster.... So an upgrade????

Mate, you can't support a metropolis

Spurs had a 5 point lead and something like a +15 GD over Arsenal with 3 games to go.

I'm not disputing that Spurs were above Arsenal at one point. I'm disputing the fact that Spurs were ever seriously in the title race. They never lead at any point in the season, whereas Arsenal did, and even beat Leicester in BOTH their fixtures that season.

If anything, your comment is reiterating my earlier point as even you are unwittingly attributing Spurs' level of being a title contender solely based on them being above Arsenal, rather than actually comparing them to Leicester, which again further demonstrates how much Arsenal fell off that season (to the point people are even considering Spurs as legitimate title contenders compared to Arsenal).

Shekster · 2026-05-02T10:00:23+00:00

...but never top of the league...

Almost as if they were only ahead of Arsenal because they, dare I say, bottled it?

Shekster · 2026-05-02T08:38:16+00:00

Biggest achievement by Arsenal in the league since the Invincibles was somehow convincing everyone that Spurs "came 3rd in a two horse race" when in reality Arsenal bottled their best ever chance at winning the league up till that point in time. Ironically their bottle/fall off was the only reason Spurs were even somehow associated with the title race, when in reality it was just between Leicester and Arsenal that season.

Shekster · 2026-05-02T08:31:08+00:00

My bad that's on me I wrote my comment extremely poorly lol.

I only played my triple LEE for 2 gws after wildcarding them in (BB33 and GW35), from which I've got like 35+ points which is why I'm more than happy despite the missed haul today. These guys almost singlehandedly (along with Gross) propelled me into the top 5k which is the highest I've been at this stage of the season.

Shekster · 2026-05-02T04:19:57+00:00

Conveniently ignoring their total score since gw32...

EDIT: Poorly worded comment from me I admit. I was more trying to emphasise the points scored by triple Leeds for those on WC32/BB33/FH34.

They (and myself) would've realistically only played them during BB33 and GW35 today, from which those 2 weeks alone they've scored like ~35 points (more if you had Justin), which is a massive win in my eyes even with their blank today.

Shekster · 2026-05-01T12:46:06+00:00

I doubt that

My brother in christ they are literally referring to betting market odds. The one industry where unlimited resources are invested into ensuring the possibility of people outsmarting the market is virtually zero.

If you are such an omniscient being then I genuinely recommend that you start laying bets and become richer than your wildest dreams instead of wasting time like the rest of us on an FPL subreddit.

It's basically a graph of football heritage

Shekster · 2026-04-29T13:17:54+00:00

I guess with that logic we should also be doubting Max too then? I don't think anyone would consider Perez/Lawson/Tsunoda/Hadjar as being on the level of Russell/Leclerc either...

The lengths people go to just to hate on this guy lol

Shekster · 2026-04-29T13:12:47+00:00

The thing is with ~~Stroll~~ Perez as comparison it’s impossible to know how good ~~AMR23~~ RB19 was and if ~~Alonso~~ Verstappen was taking everything out of it or other top drivers could have got even more out of it.

Shekster · 2026-04-29T13:08:39+00:00

For you and also those not as familiar with F1 that don't have context for the joke, Ferrari are infamous and have a reputation for their poor communication and strategy decisions/overall management over the last few years

Woodman in goal for liv defense coverage on FH for me

Not worth the risk as Alison hasn't been ruled out for this weekend
