A special mention must go out to Frank Lampard today. We would not have had the opportunity to feature in the UCL final if he hadn't qualified for it last year, with a transfer ban, an inexperienced squad and only his second year in management.
We do not forget Frank. Thank you
Luis Campos’ now set to complete the agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. Positive meeting today in Doha with Nasser Al Khelaifi to discuss signings, manager, outgoings and more. 🚨

Negotiations are now progressing in order to sign the contracts soon.

So this lad snuck into the kitchen today and ate 19 of the 20 samosas my mom had made.
The 20th piece he brought out to me in the garden and placed at my feet with a "🤫 Shhh, don't tell anyone, this shit is awesome" expression.
Can't even get mad. Man should be in politics.
Wow, at a loss for words.
So overwhelmed by the love and support you have given

I know knees are jerking but try to hold your transfers till August 25, the UK government are reviewing the red/amber list countries so we might get some clarity on gw4. Maybe even exemptions
It's a real shame Arsenal vs Man City had to be postponed. Would have been a chance to see the two teams go head to head at their peak, who knows where they'll be like later in the season
As expected, Antonio is travelling to Jamaica but playing only the home game as the other two matches are in red listed countries. No quarantine issues for gw4
Michail Antonio set for Jamaica debut after international call-up but will only travel to one of their three matches (home game vs Panama) due to covid travel restrictions

Obviously glad this ESL stuff is behind us but it only serves as a reminder that football is broken.
Uefa/fifa are not the saviours of football. They acted not to protect the interests of fans but their own commercial interests. (Cont'd)

This is like shouting at the weather channel cause it's raining. Ridiculous that Ragabolly is getting anything other than appreciative tweets for the brilliant FREE service he provides
@B4n35
@lateriser12
Actually yes, I have been receiving that kind of negative feedback a lot for the past weeks.. It made me rethink about the project and dread opening twitter. I understand that we want to cheer for all of our players but it's always been part of FPL: wanting rivals' (c) to fail.
Spent the afternoon at the local animal shelter, donated a days worth of meals for all the animals there. So many animals who had been abused, maimed and tortured, they are truly doing god's work. Please support them in whatever way you can, link -
Gameweek 1, the one where we are all Jon Snow. Will post on this thread if any last minute changes. Good luck everyone, don't be too hard on yourself if someone you had in your drafts bangs. It's a long season and GW1 is the biggest information reveal
Saliba is so good. Top class CB, big upgrade in their CB position. Him and Zinchenko look to be BPS monsters which isn't great for Ramsdale. Makes the defence better though so I guess that balances it out, Rammers could still have had some bonus with another save
Livramento rising after a total of 3 points in the first two matches just shows how 'clued in' the FPL players are nowadays. It's clearly not point chasing
Its rare to have a manager with such love for the club and you can tell he tried with every ounce of his being to make it work. Comes across as an emotional, genuine & passionate guy who brought stability at a difficult time.
Wish you the best Ole
As this table from the latest
@FFScout
article shows, Newcastle conceded 19 shots yesterday and nine shots on target but not a single big chance. This is ideal for a keeper to make saves and rack up bonus on low xG chances.
Nick Pope looks the standout Wildcard goalkeeper
My heart is swelling with pride. After being 36 all out in the first test , without kohli, with all the injuries, the biobubble challenges, Australia undefeated at the Gabba since 98, cannot give enough credit to the lads. So so so proud. Hats off

If this helped you in your decision to bring in bamford , do drop a thank you to Beren. We need more top journalists interacting with the FPL community
@zophar666
Bielsa said Bamford had pain in his hip, but he doesn't think it's sufficient enough to make him miss the match. It's understandable if he's not in full training in order to manage the pain. Players have started after missing those videos in the past.
I know my boy
@BigManBakar
will never talk about his rank so I'm gonna do it.
Man has been on a tear since GW23, ranking outside the half million then to 76k now. DGW/Blanks/Chips played to perfection. Well setup for a strong finish 🔥🔥🔥
Robertson likely plays three games for Scotland over the International Break. All 3 are WC qualifiers, on the 1st, 4th and 7th.
Leeds (A) - 12th Sep
Milan (H) - 15th Sep
Palace (H) - 18th Sep
Clutching at straws here, but Tsimikas could possibly start the Palace game?
Such a frustrating gameweek
0.94 Expected Goal involvement (xGI) for Reece James, just 0.59 for Alonso
7 chances created, 0.87 xGI for Mount
6 chances created, 6 shots in the box 1.27 xGI for Havertz
6 shots in the box, 0.91 xGI for Werner
Only Salah (82) had more touches in the opposition half than Kyle Walker-Peters (57) yesterday, and no player had more touches overall than the right-back (105). Encouraging signs.

Getting this out there before people rush to buy Coutinho for the likely Villa DGW. He's been called up for the Brazil squad who play two WC qualifiers over the international break.
The last fixture is at 12:30am UK time and finishes early Wednesday morning.

Quick impressions from the UCL last night -
1. Liverpool's defensive frailties exposed with TAA's side targeted. Kabak and Philips clearly not a partnership for the top top level but easy opposition in 7 of next 8 means Philips is still a good option imo (cont'd)
