A Free hit team should be a bit Templatey matey
See what in form players are playing the worst teams for a start
It worked a lot better than the other chips I've used, and should have been even better if it wasn't for Fergie time at Bournemouth

But the week isn't over, and you've got 3 players in a motivated Forest team still to play so you should get a fair bit of your lead back
Come on the Bees stuff em

Also I expected more of a challenge from Kipper this season but I heard he messed up his subscription with Soccer cheat dot com
He googled Bronze subscription by mistake , and is now getting Football advice from Donald Trump,
it wouldn't be so bad but he can't even make any transfers due to the tarrifs being too high

I'm just pissed that ALL the template picks came in, especially since 1m people played it. I planned to FH myself this week but had to go early because I would have only got 30-40 last week without it. It seems I only delayed the beating by a week. 🤪

The reason my team is in such a state is mostly down to playing the Assistant Manager chip on two managers and having to waste transfers to fit in with the 3-players-from-one-team rule. The chip only makes sense on doubles where you get loads of points and can stockpile transfers.

Yeah I didn't get much out of the manager chip, wasn't quite sure how to use it to any efffect so just got it out of the way at some point
We'll see if they keep it for next season

Mmm.

As well as the template Free Hit going large I lost the H2H again, for the third week in a row, increasing my season loses by 50% 😮 and keeping the competition open.

Goodlad is my bogey H2H team, often beating me with his unusual combination of players...

The competition is still open. If Billy wins all of his final four games and I continue to lose he can nick it. Although this week I'm up against AVERAGE, so the odds are in my favour.

And that with a 0 points captain.
I did some transfers, including my captain and missed that it had been moved.

Impressive, but not in the same ballpark as going without Salah AND Haaland.

Allus next season.

Well, no one saw that one coming.............

Everton 2 v Ipswich Town 2

It's a Woods vs Mateta shoot out tonight
as I try to scramble any points I can against Godot
I Just hope Palace haven't got one eye on Wembley, and that Forrest are Knackered by now

Bunter is putting some form together as well
Good score this week Billy.
I think Godot should be more worried about you overhauling him, I'm aready on the beach, because I like having a suntan

Too far behind with too few games to go I'm afraid. And no players tonight so I'm there to be shot at as far as the weekly scores are concerned. But I have got 2 pts to come off the bench.

Tell me about it. I took a -4 to get in Pickford.

My previous 2nd keeper, Benda, has got me no points all season having spent every weekend clubbing, listening to Shirley Bassey records and gobbling men in bushes. The clue's in the name I suppose.

(I hope you guys appreciate my commitment to lame comedy here. Even when I wildcarded I still kept a non playing keeper just because his name was Benda.)

Bunter has played well, but he only has 3 sub million gameweek scores in the last ten. One was 32K though, which was exceptional.

In comparison I have had just one sub million gameweek since GW25 and 5 of them have been 5m plus 😲

You pass people when you do well and they do badly. Playing my wildcard one week early and playing my Free Hit one week early is why my team is so out of step with everyone else.

You can easily pass me and I could even loose the H2H. I was beaten by AVERAGE this week 😂

Seems like a nice boy

We welcome back the dice toss that is the Manager of the Month competition...

Manager of the Month: December

December's Manager of the Month is triple Clique League winner and occasional Elvis impersonator Steve Sunshine on a downright filthy 438 points. Just 41 points behind him, August, October and November's winner Godot Taxis collected his first runner up medal of the campaign.

Praise for Steve
Asked how he felt to be awarded the December trophy, Steve joked that he was 'all shook up' but said in all honesty he didn't take the game that seriously and hadn't even looked at the trophy cabinet with his three league winner's trophies for at least half an hour.
Conversation turned to his quiff, and Steve emotionally recounted how hard it had been growing up with jibes of 'Mr. Wippy' and 'Can I have a flake with that' at school. But encouraged to dress up by the cartoon TV show Mr. Ben and the family priest, Steve literally found his voice playing The King.

"Living in Essex in the era of the vajazzle meant there was a steady supply of used rhinestones for my costumes. Although they were often bashed to pieces" he explained.

Steve also took the time to quash rumours that Lootin Town had achieved a lucrative sponsorship deal with a well known Shampoo brand. "It's bollocks, basically, and I don't have dandruff just beautiful, manageable hair."

Hot nanny
Second placed finisher Godot had nothing but praise for his rival. "Most weeks I get more points on my licence than Steve does in FPL, but occasionally he pulls the cat out of the bag. Obviously I don't condone keeping animals in confined spaces."

Steve Sunshine has left the building.

Well
Thankyaverymurch

Ha ha. And I wonder what she's laughing at down there, looks like she needs her glasses for something. 🙂 Good hair though.

I love you Fozzie but this may end up being my next profile pic
I'll cut it just over Dolly's head for purposes of taste mind you
