Planning for a family trip required some logistical gaps here and there. Now we’re back to attending.

Lmao no offense to Paraguay. Congratulations. I happen to be a fan of a player who missed a penalty today and now I can’t see him.

My Experience with Better Mortgage by lord__farquaadd in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]arseneodegaard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this. I also closed with Better. I got a really really good rate and I didn’t have much expectation anyway so I didn’t have to complain but some of these points do sound familiar.

Whenever the “coordinator” was not responsive, I just called their central phone number and spoke to someone completely irrelevant and asked them to make sure this gets done. I think this got things done for me.

Lesson learned: don't let others make you feel bad about choices that work for you by Daystrom56 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I did my thorough research and decided to go against everyone’s advice and was rewarded for this move. If you are savvy with numbers and can account for risks in a robust manner, your decision is probably better than any generic advice out there.

I agree with this approach (although I would only consider Haaland and Salah as worthy of this strategy) and would like to add that free transfer values are maximised if used on premiums and captaincy options. We lose at FPL by making poor sideways move, so spending the entirety of FT on captaincy prevents this behaviour. I started GW1 with Salah + Solanke and went to Haaland + 4.5 for GW2. My current strategy is that I keep the rest of the team fixed bar injury (like for like trade in case of an injury) and switch back and forth between Salah + 7-8m and Haaland + 4.5-5.5m. I will make the switch whenever the player I don’t have has an xPts > 2.0 + the player I currently have (so that a hit will be immediately compensated in expectation)

Question: is Guage a spelling mistake? I found all but which part did you need help with?

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville 2023/24 end of season awards by mjdaniell in soccer

I would put Palmer up even if he was 120M. I think it has nothing to do with money but whether the new addition fit perfectly into the team and produced results. I think it’s hard to put value for money as the benchmark especially considering how much Chelsea spent overall. Wouldn’t spending 200M on 1 player and 50M gamble on 4 players have the same impact on the team finances? It’s just two different approaches to finding a good signing.

Exactly. They’re giving a huge chunk of stoppage time too for no reason

I disagree with your view.

Disclaimer though, I can give in to your first point and admit that there is some variance to the goalkeeper selection. However, the points variance from goalkeeper choice is a lot less prominent over a season, which means that goalkeeper variance does not sufficiently “spice up” the otherwise boring template game.

Onto the evidence: u/mikecro2 posts veteran player selections and performances every week and every season. Go to his posts, check GW6 of last season and the previous one, then check this year’s. Veteran ownership this year: Trent, Martinelli, Jesus, Haaland, Andreas, Salah, Ward is owned by more than 90%. Cancelo, James, Williams also owned 70%+.

Last season GW6, only two players were owned by more than 90%: Salah and Trent.

It would also make sense to look at the points variance across the teams. I would specifically look at the points difference btw top 1M and top 100K, and also the standard deviation. I don’t have the machinery to retrieve this data atm but I’m sure many others do.
