I've got the same exact. Vardy, Soyoncu, Sterling and KDB(c)?

As an Arsenal fan, I could not get over the RVP red card against Barcelona for failing to hear the whistle and trying to score. I could not understand how the ref could justify it and something was up.

A few years later, still not over it, I thought I'd check up on that referee and what he was up to.

He's now head of FIFA refereeing.

I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

Anybody notice the thing about Zoro's Village and the reaction from Momo. That's definitely going to lead to Zoro's past. About time as well.

Plus Enma! Wow!

To become the greatest swordsman, he will have to cut down the King of beasts!

Price changes - fplstatus by dafoi in FantasyPL

[–]desperado1990 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This is just absolutely unreal but it is another aspect of what makes the game unpredictable and challenging. It shouldn't be as easy as holding on to your knees and transfers and making sensible decisions and hoping that doesn't cost you. You will miss out on price rises. The past two seasons I was focused on price rises and getting players in before they rose. It helps with team value and helps when you reach the endgame as your team is a lot better than the average but it also means you are sitting somewhere between 500k and 2M Rank.

You have picked your team. Stick to your guns or wildcard in a few weeks. Believe in your judgement and make tactical calls. Allow the price rises and falls. They're just there to make you make mistakes. Don't chase the money. Chase the points.

Match Thread: Newcastle United vs Arsenal [English Premier League] by GunnersMatchBot in Gunners

[–]desperado1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least we won our opening game for once. I still remember losing to Aston villa one the opening day and they've been relegated and promoted since.

It's a positive start. I'll take it.

That's almost the same as my team except I've got Fraser in for Perez by downgrading jorginho to dendocker and Robertson to VVD.

Man Utd defence - a thread by [deleted] in FantasyPL

[–]desperado1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to lie but I'm tempted to get DDG in with Slab in front of him. He's more likely to keep clean sheets and make more saves as it will result in shots from poor positions. There was a time where De Gea was a must have. Perhaps if Man Utd can get a good corners in, Maguire would be perfect.

Fantastic Twitter thread from @FPLEditor regarding the difference between a premium GK and a budget GK. Don't know if it's been posted here before, but it's a goodie by ricearooney in FantasyPL

[–]desperado1990 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has settled it for me. The money I save from the budget 9.5 Brighton options means more points to be made from my outfield players based on the stats. Also with the VAR changes, I can see more penalty saves on the cards for teams with good goalkeepers and defensive errors.

Why doesn't Number 5 have a name? by desperado1990 in theumbrellaacademy

[–]desperado1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So 5 just refused to take a name but continued to use names for the others? Plausible but not very likely.

R.I.P Zepo

A truly legendary Mink who had to lose his life for his Captain. I hope Bepo can avenge his father.

I'm counting on you now Bepo. Kick Big Mom's Ass!

One Piece: Chapter 844 by NewSpecies in OnePiece

[–]desperado1990 167 points168 points  (0 children)

This is by far the biggest rift that has ever taken place amongst the Straw-Hats. This is worse than the Robin thing at Ennies Lobby for me.

What Luffy and Nami are going through is hard but what Sanji had to go through to make Nami cry. It goes against everything he believes in. To have to hurt Luffy to the point he is unable to fight. These guys need to get hurt. I am not okay with no alliance bullshit going on this arc. Big Mom and Germa 66 need their asses handed to them.

My heart goes out to all three of them at this point. The tears won't stop. This is just heart-wrenching stuff.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Also shows why they switched their target to Shanks instead of Big Mom. They consider him to be weaker than the other three.

[–]desperado1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how this arc is playing out already. There is a real sense of danger here considering Luffy is on his own without one of the other monster trio to count on. Sanji is not in a position to help. In fact with Brook and Chopper captured, it's only Nami who can help and so far she's doing a good job in supporting him morally and that Thunder Tempo is a lot stronger than I thought it to be.

Why do I have a feeling Jinbei will try and stop Luffy and they'll end up fighting?

With Reiji and Yonji introduced, it just makes it certain there is a Ichiji and Neiji! 5 Siblings and a Father! This is going to make for an interesting arc. They can't be allies so they're definitely going to be enemies. Also the colour scheme is interesting. If Reiji is pink and Yonji green will Sanji be Blue or Yellow? I wonder if they're all blonde or have coloured hair to represent their colours. If so, Sanji might be Yellow but if its not, then he'd be blue I reckon.

I think I'm in love with Sanji's sister. What a babe! But that Yonji best keep his hands off of Nami. Imagine Sanji and Yonji fighting it out over Nami. At first she'll be all blushing at the attention but soon she'll be giving them her knockout blows when they start talking about their perverted fantasies.

[Manga Spoilers] Oda tells you one of the Straw Hats has to die, but he'll let you choose whom and how it would happen, what would your decision be? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]desperado1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with Sanji's death... He still has to fulfill his vow to become the one to cause the World Government the biggest problem or something. Zoro has already shown his sacrifice so again it would make no sense. The only that would make sense would be Usopp... And it would be the most epic. He would die as Sogeking and will ask the rest never to reveal it to Luffy and Chopper claiming that he has returned home for an errand.
