With a week to go to the launch of #FPL, I've updated my Fixture Tracker with ClubElo ratings! Principally, nothing changes except the underlying numbers (prev. 538) but this means my fixture tracker will update for every GW. Find all fixtures here: tabsoft.co/3XLpDY4

Brighton seem to be developing a Dortmund-like reputation for being an attractive PL landing spot for top prospects. They know they'll play an attacking style of football and be given the opportunity to move to a top club when the time is right. Could be just the beginning...

Pedro's inflexible price point was the biggest reason for me not considering him, but I'd ignored the prospect of just keeping cash in the bank. I fear I and others are falling victim to a cognitive anchor here. If Pedro was £7m, would we be more interested? 🤔

If Real aren't going to get Mbappe this summer, swooping for Kane would immediately elevate them to UCL joint-favourites. Adding Mbappe next year would then give them an all-time forward line that could dominate Europe for years (until Kane returns to the PL).

Foden in the KDB role... 👀

Non-UCL Europe Sevilla is football's equivalent of Sunday Tiger Woods #SuperCup

Didn't go with Gusto as my £4m DEF after having him in every pre-season draft 🤦‍♂️

I'm an ITK now

Stop comparing projects. Arteta took over a much worse squad, wasn't even a year into the job at the time of the below graphic & was taking Ls largely because he was sticking to the principles that would make them better in future (like continuing to play out from the back even

There’s gonna be a lot of performative outrage about Man Utd making contingency plans or (reportedly) contacting coaches in week before a final. But they have to be doing it when other big clubs are active in managerial market and when your ambitions are medium-long term.

Basically, a week of columnists or tweeters calling you classless is worth it if it means you’re in a better place for years to come.
