In 2 days I will be cycling 90KM to all 7 Premier League Stadiums around London. I am raising awareness and funds for Sofia's Story. My inspiration stems from the incredible battle my daughter, Sofia, fought against invasive Group A Strep early last year.

Everyone loves a rant, right? Well I had a 4 hour flight with no TV. I was bored and frustrated with the state of FPL. So let me share with you (in 26 tweets) why I very nearly quit this week:

Mechanics have sorted it - he’s good to go

Hadjar potential hydraulic issue on the way to the grid. Maybe a different final fix is needed 👀! #f1 #f1fantasy @F1BigData @F_FantasyHub @F1FantasyEuan

No need for a red flag there FIA, Piastri was last on track, allow the other 9 to finish their lap and do that section under double waved yellows once they’ve finished - come on! #f1

FPL GAMEWEEK 3: Tactical Insights And FPL Takeaways From Every Single Game 🧐 🧵👇

7.3M OR 8.2M GW Rank GW3 👀 #fpl

Decent start to the @FanTeamOfficial season long comp. 100% Semenyo ownership feels great. Tarko getting -0.3 when he should have got 6 (it’s not a pen for me) + De Cuyper conceding 90+6 could have been fantastic. Well setup for the coming weeks! How did you get on? #fanteam

What do you think of this squad to start the season? How does it compare to yours? What would you change? #fanteam #teamreveal

Forwards: Haaland - the combo with Salah much more affordable with Fanteam, can't say no to the Robot here! Rutter - fantastic value at only 0.5M more than the floor price for forwards Evanilson - on the bench GW1 due to fixtures, but I like the double up with Semenyo GW2➡️

Midfield - this is where the points are made. Salah 🐐 Bruno - 90 minute man + pens Bowen - Talisman, 90 minutes, maybe pens Semenyo - loves shots and 90 minutes Mitoma - excited for his partnership with De Cuyper, think he will have a strong season

Defence - cheap and cheerful, but Cucurella's price is too good to turn down De Cuyper could be fantasy gold, I like Diouf's attacking potential given his output last year, Lacroix has solid goal threat in a decent Palace team. If Hill keeps his spot the fixtures are great.

Since there are currently no 4M keepers expected to start, I have gone for the set and forget Fulham keeping duo. I don't expect to be picking Fulham outfield players any time soon, so having a dead spot on the bench each week is fine.

With just over a day to go until the deadline, these are the value players to look at! Finding value is key to building a strong squad. Who are your favourite value picks for the start of the season? Let me know in the replies! 👇#Fanteam

FWD Value Picks 💥 £5.5M - Rutter - Pure gold just 0.5M above the lowest price point! £6.5M - Evanilson, a key focal point, possibly on pens without Kluivert, nailed! £7.0M - Mateta, a proven and consistent goal-scorer, strong pre-season, now on pens, too cheap!

MID Value Picks - cont £6M - Schade. A very exciting player at a great price point. £6.5M - Mitoma. Great value for a proven goal threat. £7M - Semenyo. A reliable 90-minute man with great stats £7.5M - Rogers. A great mid-to-premium pick who's central to Villa's play.

MID Value Picks ✨ £4.5M - Baleba. When he moves to Man U. He's a great enabler. £5.0M - Pape Sarr. Fantastic pre-season for Spurs, and injuries have opened the door for him. He's a definite watchlist player. £5.5M - Paqueta. cheap midfielder likely on pens, in a front 3

DEF Value Picks 💪 Lots of options! £4.0M - James Hill. A classic risk-reward! Played a lot in pre-season for Bournemouth. A great enabler if he secures a spot. £4.5M - Lacroix. I think he's £0.5M too cheap £5.5M - Marc Cucurella. Should be £0.5M more! Huge attacking upside
