DGW28 MEGATHREAD - Eye Test & Stats Assessment
A week back, I wrote a thread on how to assess Double Gameweek players whether you're greedy or err on the side of caution.
This thread uses OPTIMISTIC and PESSIMISTIC to evaluate DGW28 teams.
DGW STRATEGY THREAD - Assessing Transfers & Mentality
There are 2 types of transfers made in FPL where DGWs are rife - those made out of greed or extreme greed.
In this mini-thread I propose 2 attitudes, offering clarity in your potential transfers, whether for free or for -4.

Had a long thought about what you've implied and I found that there are a few things I'd like to flesh out.
Firstly, the tweet you've quoted compares Onana with 4.5m keepers. BPs are influenced by their teammates' scores, not their own.

Conclusions
- Mount essential in the new system
- Werner and Alonso are advanced & linking up
- The right wingback makes late runs into the box, if you can predict who will start
My personal FPL ranking of their threat is

2) The right wingback
3) Werner
4) Alonso or Kai

There is a very high chance that I won't post Part 2 before the deadline. If I do, it'll happen in 10 hours or so in the dead of the Asian night.
All the best with transfers and may your arrows be green!

Non-FPL Thread: the things I learned from contracting COVID
I tested positive yesterday for COVID-19 after meeting my father-in-law for our weekly family dinner, who also tested positive on Saturday.
By the time we got the news, I was already starting to develop symptoms.

Observations from 🔵Chelsea 0-2 Brentford🐝
🔵Setup: Chelsea🔵
- Palmer as the no.9 had a few tails up from the Arsenal game and he slightly leaned left with Jackson’s inclusion in the side.
- Early doors saw Jackson’s linkup play come to the fore but Palmer did well to drop

The purge has begun. Red is swapped (mostly) for blue and with anticipation of a 5-0 on the horizon, the WC button has been smashed.

Life Lessons vs FPL: A Thread
Content creation came to almost a complete halt for me in May when my family and I caught COVID.
Quarantine was hell; it prevented me from seeing my grandfather who suffered a mini-heart attack and went into ICU.

Here are my findings:
- The left has better chemistry. Udogie is attractive; Maddison creates space for himself using his LW & LB
- The right will get chances when the left creates them. Kulusevski is the sharpest and will capitalise when opponents lock down Spurs' left

Observations from😈Man United 3-2 Nottingham Forest🌲

- Dalot deputised at left-back while crucially, Rashford played left wing for the first time this season as Martial started up top.
- Lopsided play to the right saw Dalot inverted into midfield, freeing

If you've read the thread up until this point, please think of someone you know deserves a hug (in/outside of FPL) and give them a hug, whether physical or virtual.
Oftentimes in my TL I see a constant few users offering suggestions when others are in need of help.

Some things are worth normalising, especially if it only takes a small effort from a group of people to help another collective.
Absolutely precious stuff 🥰
Real Betis fans threw thousands of stuffed toys onto the pitch at half-time yesterday 🧸

- Palace’s 4231 utilised Schlupp on the left, but Hughes as LCM pushed to the flanks to link him up with left-back Mitchell in possession. Ayew on the right had much more freedom, working with Edouard and

Why. WHY do I do this, then proceed to buy Doughty instead of this gem? 🤦🤦🤦
Lastly, I regularly do a 4-week recommendation for FPL IQ and here is my pick!
- Favourable opponents (Semedo, TAA, Coufal)
- Allows you to pick 3 Man City attackers
- Long term potential until GW29

GW9 Review (1/5)
- Cheap forward game on point
- The bizarre decision of bringing KDB on when you're 3-0 up at half time cost me 30 points, which is (yet) a spot in the top 100k. I feel like Mbeumo now
- Glad that no bandwagons started; not pressured into moving early
