#PredictEmery Fulham (H) 📋 Two positions I’m unsure of, not sure if Gomes playing 90 on Wednesday was a clue, and perhaps Barkley is favoured against teams we’re expected to beat at home? Could be any of Alysson/Buendia/Mbaye, all of which are currently an avoid in #FPL.

I'm sorry, but if your FPL enjoyment depends on how other people play this game, you're putting yourself in a lose-lose situation from the beginning. And every single week. If you see models and solvers as an unfair advantage, try to treat them as motivation to do better. Understanding how they work, finding their limitations and figuring out how to take advantage of them by playing differently is an additional layer of interest in itself. Instead of millions of people with different approaches, you're increasingly battling one collective Tom Dollimore, or however you want to call it. Although dividing players into Grass FC and Analytics FC is incredibly stupid by nature, those concepts no longer really exist in isolation. General data is widely available, models are everywhere and copycats are abundant. So accept that the better the collective intelligence gets, the more clearly your decisions will be reflected in your rank. Underperform against that benchmark and you'll feel it. Outperform it, and the same applies in your favour. If the only thing that matters to you is the outcome, and you're not gambling with money in your mini-leagues, you're gambling with your mood instead. You'll constantly compare yourself with millions of other players. Outcome bias and fake analytical evidence will suck you in. They'll give you the false impression that the data you're using or whatever else has a clear relationship with the points you score, creating an illusion that you understand exactly what works in FPL. And when the points don't come, the gap between what you believe should happen and what actually happens only gets bigger. The right people will help you enjoy the game more. Positive engagement, content creation, constructive conversations, all of that shit. But remember that people will always find a reason to be unhappy with your team. Trust me, even if you never share your reasoning or thought process, people will invent fictional scenarios about how you play the game and then criticise you for those fictional scenarios. Learn to separate constructive criticism from people who simply want to object to everything. They're not the same. Own your decisions, make your own mistakes and learn from them. You'll be fine.

HARRY KANE IS THE NEW BALLON D'OR! #ballondor

Emotional exit by Michael Carrick as fans sing his name. A farewell? Supporters turn on players once Carrick down tunnel. #MUFC

Michael Carrick will doubtless pay the price with his job for this deserved defeat to an excellent Bournemouth side and another lifeless display by his Manchester United team. Some of his selections and tactics have been questionable, United were again so open in the centre. But Carrick was not responsible for recruiting Youri Tielemans, who lacks physicality and mobility (and Aston Villa haven’t missed him) and Andrey Santos, a Chelsea reserve.  Carrick was not responsible for the board’s damaging failure to strengthen at centre-back and left-back. Carrick was not responsible for his main striker Benjamin Sesko being injured and the board’s failure to provide him with cover. Carrick was not responsible for the club he loves being in the grip of co-owners like the Glazers whose priorities are focused more on business than the sport. The direction from the top has been negligible, arguably negligent. No real leadership. No expertise. Carrick may be out of his depth but many United fans sang his name during the painful demise to Bournemouth because they know he cares and they know the problems lie elsewhere. The Stretford End again sang in protest at the wretched Glazers. Noticeable that there were few songs in support of Bruno Fernandes. He is supposed to be captain, rallying the players, Footballer of the Year, Player of the Year, not arm-waver of the year, underachieving and complaining. Yet Bruno will be at United longer than Carrick.  Carrick was praised for United finishing third last season and getting in the Champions League. But he will doubtless go partly for his own failings and mainly the failings of others. And United will be trapped in this doom loop again. And again until the core problems are addressed in the boardroom - and the Glazers sell up - and flaws in the recruitment department. #MUFC #MUNBOU

Arteta is collecting evidence of other managers leaving technical area. He's that cunt in the class who keeps acting like a dick, gets told off a couple of times, but points at the others instead of just admitting his own prickery. What an insufferable fuckwit.

All good, I just see so many people on here copying FPL Review and pretending it’s original thought, and Mbeumo was seemingly the one it recommended this week. Meanwhile Gibbs-White gets 0.94xGI and blanks 🫠
