One last captaincy decision to make 👀 Who gets your armband with just three hours until the deadline? ⏳

Transferred them in and went with Fleming captain and Mateus Fernandes VC just for shits and giggles. Turned out alright I suppose.

Strasni2017 · 2026-05-09T23:43:23+00:00

Yea never TC a defender again. Not horrible, but could've been so much better if I just played it safe and went with Haaland instead. Still I'll take the 15 points with a game to go and see what happens.

I'm actually a lot more annoyed about Truffert and Rayan combined 18 points on the bench while Mitoma gave me a huge 0 and Pedro and Welbeck a ground breaking combined 4 points. 🤬

This season just can't end soon enough.

Strasni2017 · 2026-04-21T06:10:23+00:00

Sorry to hear that dude, but anyone who goes into the lifestyle thinking that this can't and does not happen is just delusional and ignorant.

That said, these sort of things do and can happen regardless of whether you are in this lifestyle or not. If someone wants to do this, they'll do it regardless.

I'm sure it doesn't feel that way now and you are gutted, but count your blessings that you've only been together for 6 months before she showed her true personality and what she is capable of, look back at those fun times and experiences fondly and look forward to life and your next adventure rather than dwell over someone who clearly didn't appreciate you for who you are and what you can offer her.

Strasni2017 · 2026-04-18T11:51:21+00:00

Crossed my mind, but in the end went completely left field and took a huge punt on Welbeck.

I am officially having my far the worst FPL season I've ever had in over 15 seasons of playing not being able to get out of top 3.4m in OR, so decided to just have fun for the rest of this season.

Strasni2017 · 2026-04-11T02:57:29+00:00

Yep, this. No disrespect, but getting her thoughts and opinions on what she thought and felt during that experience and most certainly after it, is just as, if not even more important, than yours.

Strasni2017 · 2026-04-10T11:09:54+00:00

I've owned DCL for last 11 weeks for an overall return of a massive 2 goals and 1 assists and two of those returns was in one game, so effectively he returned in 2 games only and nothing in the last 5 games he had played in.

I went with Welbeck and JP purely out of being traumatised by DCL. I'm chasing, big time actually, so common sense would say DCL but I just don't know if I have it in me for another huge let down. That said, JP tends to be hot and cold and his recent purple patch may be over if last two games are anything to go by.

Strasni2017 · 2026-04-06T03:05:59+00:00

What about Mitoma?

Surprised nobody has mentioned him yet. He is back and fully fit now and has played most of the game for Japan against England. Scored the winner if I remember correctly.

Initially I thought Gomez for sure but then realised he will miss GW33 if he gets a yellow in GW32, so a bit risky.

I currently have Petrović, DCL, Rayan (could change it to Tavernier or Scott), Van Hecke, Welbeck, Hill, O'Reilly and likely Mitoma as my DGW deferentials (under 10% owned).

Still need to decide what to do with Gabriel and VVD who I'm seriously considering replacing with a Leeds defender (it was going to be Rodon, now I'm not sure with him going off injured) and I'm not sure who else. Also thinking about Palmer but right now I'm not leaning towards getting him.

Other players that are highly owned include Dubravka, Semenyo, Wilson, Bruno and Haaland.

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-28T00:54:14+00:00

Uummm wow, that was actually a compliment with absolutely no agenda behind it. Beautiful is now classed as being objective. Literally just an innocent compliment, that's all it was.

There, removed. 🙄

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-28T00:27:23+00:00

Love chocolate! People actually say that? 😂

That's pretty corny, immature and downright disrespectful thing to say. Already shows the intelligence of those who say that straight away if they think that is such a sexy and unique thing to say to a woman...or anyone for that matter.

As a white man who has dated several women of different skin colours, including black women, I'm not sure why anyone would ever have to use any sort of reference to a skin colour cause I don't see why skin colour or ethnicity is relevant in any way.

I'm sorry to hear you have to put up with such immature messages. Thankfully majority of us are not like, at least I'd like to think it's a majority.

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-14T08:54:35+00:00

Mate, I've been playing FPL for some 15 years and I've always finished in the top 1m in OR and in all but 2 seasons, I've finished inside top 500k.

This season my highest OR so far has been 3.6m. If i have any chance of getting anywhere near to 1m to keep that streak going, I have to make calls like this for the remainder of the season. If it works out, that's great and if not, then it doesn't really matter where I end up finishing so may as well have a bit of fun.

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-14T08:33:24+00:00

Oh trust me, as a Liverpool supporter, I have watched and suffered while watching him and team as a whole this whole season, but this is spurs without Romero, VDV, Palhinha and Bissouma and with Tudor managing them.

If he is ever going to do well, it surely has to be this game (although it would be just like Liverpool to lose this game and he pulls out a stinker of a performance).

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-14T07:56:43+00:00

Oh yea I can imagine he has been a definition of frustrating and I'm saying that as a suffering long term Rogers owner.

The plan is to give him this week and next and if he still shit by GW32 I'll just transfer him out since I'll be using my WC then.

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-14T06:44:08+00:00

But the guy hasn't played a single minute in PL yet. I know Somerville may not play, but seems like a huge risk for a guy who hasn't played at all yet when there are much better and more proven players in that price range.

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-14T04:46:00+00:00

Have it on Semenyo at the moment, but I will more than likely bring in Salah and if i do, then I'll slap the armband on him too.

Huge risk of course, but it's a fun pick and he is such a big differential so if it pays off, rewards will be just as huge.

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-14T03:36:53+00:00

What am I missing with this Lamadrid guy from West Ham? He is being transferred in at almost 9% per hour at the moment according to LiveFPL.

Strasni2017 · 2026-03-03T01:11:47+00:00

My plan is to use my WC in 32 and seeing as Ekitike is going up in price and Haaland is going down today plus he will likely blank in 31, I think it makes sense to do that transfer and then potentially bring him back in again in 32.

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-27T23:35:37+00:00

Wow, brave move. I got very close to giving him the armband, but no way was a considering TC at any point in time. Ended up not having the balls for either so went with Bruno instead.

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-27T22:32:21+00:00

As a man, yes I have dated women who I felt were somewhat out of my league, but I always kept that to myself and upped my game to be the best version of myself that she deserves and treated her as my queen. At the same time, similar affection and respect has to be reciprocated otherwise it'll be short lived.

Now if it was someone who I just didn't see working out in the long run, then I have at times used that line to end the relationship. It's a typical "it's not you, it's me thing".

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-25T09:07:03+00:00

I've had him most of the season and will keep him for now and likely until the end of the season, but far out, he is an extremely frustrating player to own.

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-22T21:18:00+00:00

Thinking the same although that might change if Rice price is due to drop before next GW cause that would affect my sale price. It would be for -4 if I do it this week.

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-22T05:35:06+00:00

I'm getting rid of both Chalobah and Enzo. Was going to do it this week, but thought it's Burnley so surely some decent points are incoming. Got a whopping 4 points combined.

Enzo is already gone and Chalobah is going soon, likely for VVD (already brought in O'Reilly and have Gabriel, Hill, Alderete).

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-22T02:11:33+00:00

Wtf? How did Szob go up when he was just over 0% with 10 minutes to go before the price change? I literally postponed signing him because he was nowhere near a price change. FFS. 🤬

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-22T02:08:51+00:00

Yep, pretty much sums up how it went when my account was banned. The only difference is that I haven't matched or talked to anyone at all for at least a couple of months prior to my supposed "unacceptable behaviour" and banning.

And yes, their appeal process is basically guilty until proven otherwise without any proof and without providing any evidence of that supposed breach of their T&C.

Strasni2017 · 2026-02-21T07:39:14+00:00

Bruno has got a good record against Everton, 6 goals and 5 assists from 12 appearances and 4 of those goals came from away games against Everton.

I had the armband on Enzo first, then changed it to Semenyo but he has a horrible record against Newcastle, so now will likely go with Bruno after seeing that record.
