Almost at the 100K mark, hopefully Son doesn’t ruin the run this weekend. 😅 Very nice score without a wildcard mate! 💪 Palmer worked out all good, 8 points is nothing to be sniffed at. It's only 2 points behind Haaland when I TC’d him. Keeping Saka worked out extremely well and sitting pretty for Bournemouth this week too! 👏💪Both KDB and Son will be sought after in GW37, even if Son blanks this weekend as I’ve gambled on, the Burnley fixture will be too good to turn down for many.

@GKneeIssYT sage advice Steve. I decided not to make any moves. Been punished on too many occasions for replacing good players with good players. This has been the season for standing your ground rather than chasing points and I've certainly enjoyed some uncharacteristic good fortune over the past few gameweeks!

Thanks mate! 🙏 Oh dear, life getting in the way of FPL huh. 😅🤣 77 is a solid score, and a green is a green mate. 💪

@@GKneeIssYT yes indeed. Good luck!

I’d be quite keen to take on Son with someone like Mateta at home to United given our lacklustre defence and his current run of form. I like this differential gamble! 💪 Havertz captain? 🎲 Oof, definitely a rogue choice 😏Who did you give the armband to come deadline?

@@GKneeIssYT I went with Havertz Cap.... Ouch! That hurt my rank 👀🙈 KDB and Walker blanking also didn't help it, with Reguilón on my bench 🤦🏼 did bench Son and played Mateta. Tempted this week to bench walker for Reguilón 😄

I don’t think Son has been playing particularly bad, he’s just been isolated. It seems to me he’s a bit of a victim of his own pedigree in that if he doesn’t generate something out of nothing he’s seen to be not performing. Son’s best attributes are all about movement, playing off teammates and exploding into space with one-twos, or running with the ball at defenders who are scrambling back from a counter attack. But he’s not really a Doku who, in controlled possession facing a deep block or structured defence, will aim to take on a defender one on one and beat them, which is kind of what is being expected of Son given the isolation and lack of passing options. Those Son memories you’re reminiscing on were from a pre-Postecoglou era with a different Spurs structure and personnel, and although there's a chance we may get an end to end game this weekend, I think the breakdown of link up play in the Spurs midfield has been evident for some weeks now and Liverpool will simply have too much for them in that area of the pitch. Liverpool though, have been failing to impress across the front 3, and across the backline as well to a certain extent, but they have been dominating the middle of the park. You can see this by how often they're able to get the ball through to the front 3 and how well they recover possession in the centre 3rd of the park. I think this alone will limit Son’s involvement in the game as Spurs will probably find it hard to get out of their defensive shape with their midfield probably losing the ball too often. Salah has been the only reliable finisher in the team for a while now and even he misses quite a few chances, but when he goes through a rough patch of finishing it really shows. Diaz, Nunez & Gakpo haven't been pulling their weight in terms of goals, and Jota has been out for large parts of the season who was probably their 2nd best finisher. I think Liverpool will dominate the game, but the scoreline will depend on who has their shooting boots on. Yeap there were quite a few captaincy options this week given the favourable fixtures on paper, did you end up on Haaland or did you roll the dice with the armband?

Great reply Steve. Well thought out and good points all round. I think this insight displays why you are having a barn storming season (just watched the video you posted today). Well done! As you can tell from my silence I have had some time away from fpl this week after rolling the dice against Haaland and meeting my deserved fate 🪦 haha. I also had 22 points left on the bench last week as well so an absolute stinker on my behalf! Not the nicest way to end the season but hey ho. Got an injured Schar and Maguire stinking up my bench boost and am thinking to bring in Dunk and Tarkowski, for some very lazy rolls of the dice. Think that gw36 red arrow has just about finished me off, so will put out 15 for this gameweek happy to give fpl a rest soon. Keep up the good work. Barracking for you mate

Thanks mate! 🙏 Nice work getting a release out in the small turnaround timeframe. 👌

@@GKneeIssYT Happy with that myself too, might however hurt me in views. 🙂

@@FPLEsto Haha, yes timing the releases is quite important, something I'm still getting the hang of myself.

@@GKneeIssYT Yes with FPL it is extremely important as for example GW35 video is relevant only about a week before it and until it starts. After that at least I get no views at all. Maybe few during GW but very seldomly after the GW ends. 🙂

@@FPLEsto I think that's pretty standard mate, not many people are interested in dated info

Nice move to KDB for a hit, well played! 💪 Palmer was a crossbar width away from doing a bit more damage, which ended up helping out the Jackson owners.... a game of fine margins huh. 🤏 48K heading into the final 3 weeks and a KDB captaincy, decent gamble in order to push for the top 10K. 👏🎲

I’m currently about 9 points off 100K, so as long as Son doesn’t cripple me this weekend with his 64% ownership that I’ve just gambled against, I think I'll make it 🤞😅

I wish you all the best mate. I remember coming across your channel when I was about 400k and you were in the top 30k or something. I immediately loved your thought process and now I'm sitting just outside top 50k. All thanks to you. Thank you and best of luck!

​@@animal_world254 Same back at you mate! 🙏 Haha, I can’t take the credit mate, you’re the one making the moves. But I’m glad you enjoy the thought process, hopefully it’s providing some different angles to ponder. Top 50K is an incredible rank mate 💪 I don’t think I’ll be able to catch that this season but you never know. Thanks for spending your time listening, I appreciate it. 🙏 And shot for reaching out to discuss in the comments, that’s a big part of the reason why I started the channel 👊
