Last year the same.
I’ve made 3FTs since GW6. Average time of each transfer is 3 mins before the deadline
I’m finding spending longer thinking about moves and testing these after all the information is out is aiding decision-making

Defcon has made most attacking DEFs and medium priced MIDs redundant.
De Cuyper - playing LW
Calafiori - open play freak
Groß & Tavernier - set pieces + xGI
Schade - high goal threat
Aside from these, the 5m defcon DEFs (Muharemovic, JPVH, Silva, Vuskovic) are unbeatable
Raya is streets ahead, and if you have the transfer value, team structure and FTs he’s the obvious one to get.
But you could get close with rotating combos to WC2, using: Kinsky (4.4m) Petrovic (4.5m) or Trafford (5m)
NFO are good but their best fixtures come after GW30
I think with the long IB coming up after GW10 we should be looking to roll our FTs
This is important for my team with only 1FT. Hoping to get to GW11 with 3FTs
The only news that will change that is if Calafiori is confirmed out of GW9 and 10; if so, I’d sell for Silva

BPS changes don’t go far enough. Big chances missed shouldn’t be negative BPS - instead big chance received should be positive BPS, to reward the forward’s good movement in getting space for a big chance. Right now strikers find it hard to get bonus unless they brace

A further change FPL need to make to BPS is to stop making big chances missed a -BPS action. This misunderstands actual football.
Big chance received should be a +BPS action to reflect the good movement it takes to make space for a big chance. This would better reward forwards
I’ve been banging on about this since the summer.
FPL Towers, you NEED to make this change. Stop making a big chance missed as -BPS. It’s GOOD play to receive a big chance
OR
Make big chance received +3BPS, and missed -1BPS

GW9 is an interesting one - a thread due to no premium!!! 🧵⬇️
Currently my plans are based off Calafiori and Thomas being out GW9 and JP being out 9 and 10
MDC —> Hill and Gonzalo —> Barry are 2FTs I’m eyeing up. Calafiori I want for GW10 and Thomas is a great long term hold…
Those with Raya + Gabriel in place have a structure advantage.
It could easily be the case that by GW13, neither Calafiori or Konsa are secure for mins, and:
- Rotating 4.5m GKs block Raya
- Gabriel in costs 2FTs
Cala could be a sell from GW11 for a BOU DEF

@elevenify was right.
I guess it’s a lesson to learn for me.
Going into the season, the goal was clear, focus on the process, ignore the outcomes and judge performance by model (EV) ranks.
I don’t think I was critical and skeptical enough this season.
Do I think it was a mistake?
No, but I have to focus more on this aspect; this is my biggest weakness.
Still only 22% into the season. Haaland owners had a lot of positive variance, for me it’s been the exact opposite.

Rushed shots, rushed passes. Nominal shot positions look good on paper, so the xG is high, but the body positions when shooting and the weight on the passes are shite
MGW's best chances look great numerically but simply aren't that good when you watch them live. That's why xG remains a long-term metric that needs more and more contextualisation in the short term
