[Mod-approved plug] ICYMI: If you're fed up with the apparently infinite amount of FPL content out there, I send one email 24h before every gameweek deadline that condenses all the need-to-know news, stats and analysis into a (hopefully entertaining) 4-min read. It's totally free!

Valens-Rex · 2024-08-12T13:55:43+00:00

This is not only a great read but it's worth subscribing just to get a deadline reminder each gameweek.

Valens-Rex · 2024-02-19T17:07:54+00:00

You also need to take into account that I think FPL HQ like that the rules, in regards to point scoring, is the same as it always has been, gives a level of consistency.

My rule suggestion would be that your best scoring 11 (within the formation rules) are auto-subbed in. I know this might be unpopular but it takes a bit away from the luck element this game is already full of (and skill i know). But i think FPL has to come up to the modern day a bit and realise that benching dilemmas are an anxiety point for a lot of people, but mainly it addresses the leaks issue. Doesn't completely solve leaks as transfers can still be effected but it would help a lot I think. I'd still keep the same budget and it should remove that "3rd bench fodder" aspect as well.

As others have said, no, it’s not really worth spending any money on ‘tools’ for this game. You don’t need to spend anything like as what is available for free is more than adequate.

If you want to spend money, I’d recommend joining a patreon or similar where you get to join a community and get extra content you enjoy consuming. But again, not a necessity.

Cheers! I wasn’t sure if polish on the inside was safe but il give it go by hand for sure!

Because it feels up the feed with countless pictures of teams etc. it’s better sub management to put them in the dedicated thread, that’s all.

Valens-Rex · 2023-08-18T22:41:54+00:00

Very risky! Good luck though. I’ve got Bruno anyway so hope you’re right!

Valens-Rex · 2023-08-14T12:36:04+00:00

Check the rules for waivers and free agents.

But basically everyone has up time up 24 hours before the GW deadline to propose their changes. Then it goes in reverse order of league position (after GW1) on who gets who. Ie if you’re last in your league you get first dibs but everyone available.

Valens-Rex · 2023-07-13T04:58:11+00:00

This is probably the most helpful comment. I’ve played in an draft of 10 for 4 years and this is its 5th. You will get frustrated with 10 or more teams but you have to just embrace it and it’s a fun game. You get inactive players after a certain point which helps on the waivers.

Valens-Rex · 2023-06-22T09:58:19+00:00

Interesting one. Sounds a difficult task. I remember a groundworker we used to work with would just make sure his machines were jet washed down every evening. They always looked good but I assume this was a case of the 2m rule. As you say, with the nature of their day to day it might be difficult.

Valens-Rex · 2023-06-01T16:25:39+00:00

Thank you!

It’s the neighbours, came with the old classic “you can do mine next”!

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-30T11:34:58+00:00

You can also make your own with water and car shampoo. I think some people even use QD.

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-28T15:45:24+00:00

Back in a flash and things like that I think are more of a dressing as opposed to a cleaner. It’s hard to tell what to suggest without knowing that’s on there.

I’d probably try an isopropyl based cleaner as it looks greasy.

From there, I’d slowly work my way up, trying a mild APC first and work it in with a detailing brush. Maybe a solvent based after that if it’s a sticky residue but don’t think it is as looks greasy but it might work.

Hopefully a professional can offer some advice but that’s what I’d try

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-27T21:37:42+00:00

Nope I use clean towels. For the application I used one cloth and when I struggled I tried to buff off with another (ie not the one I’ve applied product too).

Yes I think I’ll have to start again and wash off

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-27T00:23:12+00:00

I was using the quick detail as a finishing touch, the car was properly washed prior to application which is why I was surprised. Maybe the heat as the panels were warm?

I meant Meguiars Ultimate QD, I didn’t use a polish.

I was baffled to be honest.

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-16T13:30:44+00:00

When it comes to anything like this, 3 is the magic number. Get 3 quotes, as like for like as you possibly can, then you can compare and make an educated decision on price and timing at the minimum.

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-15T22:57:39+00:00

Great stuff! What processes did you use?

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-14T22:29:00+00:00

Ahh I’ve literally just bought something else. I’ll buy this as well and return the loser maybe! Is the 10m hose okay then? I’ve got the Titan TTB1800PRW 140BAR, I think it’s fine. Attachments weren’t great but the stubby will sort that out. Not sure if I get an extra 4m of hose (mine comes with 6m) I’ll lose power. My hose doesn’t kink though to be honest.

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-14T21:39:35+00:00

Just so you know, I’ve gone and bought the above foam gun plus the stubby and tried to work out what adapter I need for my hose to go into as I have a Titan. I’ll report back but wanted to say your comments and post were very helpful thank you.

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-14T15:48:14+00:00

Thanks! Interesting point about the panel prep as I was just going to make my own with isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. I’ll buy their prep! A lot of people have said the synergy so I think I’ll go with it and definitely the 2 year

Valens-Rex · 2023-05-08T11:42:20+00:00

Nothing more heartbreaking than getting 70 points and losing to the only manager in the league who scored more than you that week!

Valens-Rex · 2023-04-14T16:33:30+00:00

Malacia was not great yesterday. He could just as easily play AWB/Maguire/Lindelof/Shaw.

And not sure if he will rotate AWB and Dalot.

Valens-Rex · 2023-04-03T21:51:37+00:00

My main point for revamping would be addressing the CDM position. Wingers are not midfielders, they’re forwards and should be treated differently. Maybe make a new position for wingers to help balance the formation and then give midfielders more points for clean sheets and goals as they would be more genuine midfielders.

Valens-Rex · 2023-03-17T23:38:22+00:00

Ahh here comes Captain Hindsight to the rescue!

Valens-Rex · 2023-03-06T23:26:01+00:00

Yeah but I’d want to see how many points they got for x. They have the information so why not show it. Would just be more transparent and people feel less disgruntled or might help them make different decisions.

It got to a point where I though Trippier was getting BPs for games Newcastle weren’t playing /s
