FPL GW6 Review, Play with your Gut, GW7 Team Selection | Off the Cuff | Fantasy Premier League 23/24

[Music] foreign [Music] good evening welcome to another off the cuff  chat with me um FPL Mez so my name is Mira and um if you haven't um if you haven't tuned in  previously these are my off the cuff very very off-the-cuff conversations with yourself so  the the Twitter Community or X community and also the uh the the YouTube Community as well  so I've been doing these now exactly a month so I can't believe a month has passed and this will  be I guess episode if we look at it as episodes um it's

going to be episode um six or seven I'm  not sure um I think like because I've not really been doing it every week consistently so I've  been sort of spacing no pun intended I've been spacing these out a little bit between sort of  once a week but it's been pretty much every four or five days or something like that whenever  there's something to to have a good chat about as well and and I have to be honest I've been  very much enjoying myself as well doing these it's really nice to get engageme

nt from the  um the Twitter Community or the X Community um I'm just going to call it Twitter it's too  hard um but um yeah no it's been really nice to get that sort of Engagement and if you haven't  again if you haven't tuned in previously what I tend to do is try and sort of uh yeah just  record the um the session itself so it's going to be recorded on Spaces anyway but I also record  the session so that it can be um yeah popped up on my YouTube channel so if you haven't actually gone  to my Y

ouTube Channel please click on my profile I'll post a link there later as well Haitian um  and uh and yeah I'll be posting up the video on my new YouTube channels as well so that you can  catch up on the the visual side of things as well um so because I do capture the video it's great to  see your reactions as well so if you do if you can react occasionally that would be wonderful your  reactions will actually come through if you go back and have a look at the YouTube video as  well so yeah feel

free to react um um yeah so that's a little bit of context so like I said it's  been about a month now and I've been thoroughly enjoying it thank you for joining me you know  week after week for those of you that have been it's been yeah it's been a lot of fun just kind of  chatting about all the things occasionally ranting um hardly ever prepared as well I don't think I  often know exactly what I'm going to be talking about during the session as well typically I give  myself a little bit of st

ructure with you know in terms of trying to have a a conversation about my  previous game week or planning for the upcoming game week or doing lots of planning or just lots  of sort of random thoughts that will you know occasionally pop up into into the mind and and  yeah so look I've been really enjoying sort of you know sharing these with you as well um again you  know these are very much one-sided occasionally I do sort of bring on guests to have a quick chat  as well and I'm hoping that next

week's one I'll be able to you know grab someone as well too to  have a conversation with um so fairly one-sided and hopefully not too long like the previous ones  have been as well I think in the past I've had um you know sort of conversations that have  gone on for like 45 minutes to an hour when I had a guest on as well um but hopefully um  today's one will be fairly sort of you know shorter and and straightforward as well um  so look that's a little bit of context there um I'd love for you

to um you know hang around  if you can and react as much as you can as well that would be wonderful but um look I'm just  going to give you a little bit of context to my game week and um I will sort of um you  know pop that on the screen as well so if you are watching this sort of afterwards um  then yeah you can kind of catch it over there um so I I actually had a pretty good game week so  I actually finished on 92 points which was a huge um a huge amount of points than what I actually  expecte

d um and I'll sort of go through my team in a moment and sort of give you a bit of context  um to that as well so you know in terms of like um what I expected from the team I've had really  terrible game weeks up till now in in the sense where I've um tried to sort of you know hold  my [ __ ] together as much as possible with the planning side of things and decision making  side of things and you know it's been um it's been pretty tough so I actually started around that  kind of just just within

the one million Mark um in my first game week and then you know  I've just had consecutive red arrows so it's been really frustrating like especially when you  know you're making good decisions and you're you know you're trying to kind of you know consume as  much sort of I guess the things the things that you have access to so whether that be sort of data  pre-season previous season you know stats as well and just context of how well that team is doing  as a whole so not looking at sort of pla

yers I in an isolated way but just looking at the team as  a whole and so it's really really disappointing when you sort of go week after week and not  really you know see the results that you you would you would expect to see based on some of  that good decision making and so yeah look it's been it's been pretty disheartening over the past  couple of games you know a couple of game weeks um up till now um but um you know I've tried my  best to be consistent as possible as well during that time

and you know it doesn't matter how tough  it it is but it is important to be you know as consistent as possible when it comes to how you're  making your decisions based on the planning that you're doing and the fixtures that you have and  you know all of these things um but look you know even the best of us doesn't matter how experienced  you are as an FPL manager and in my case you know I'm only in my third season so no matter how  experienced you are as an FPL manager it's so easy to knee jerk

especially because you want to  get that into gratification and that's probably the hardest thing to kind of you know wrap your  head around and and really convince yourself that you know you don't want to react instantly so you  know I'll give you an example of that so in my um I think it was like first game week second game  week um I had I still had salary in my team and it's crazy isn't it because now we all want Salah  back in our team or in my case um but a lot of FPL managers are thinkin

g back about bringing Salah  into their team now and wildcarding really early I don't think there's any sort of particular  time you know where you should be wildcarding or shouldn't be wildcarding or anything like  that it's whatever's best for you and your team however in in my case you know I had to make  a conscious decision about you know spreading the funds and that's the that's the decision I wanted  to make so although I drafted Salah into my team and played him for at least the first tw

o game  weeks and he did get returns in those as well um I just found that not having particular  players in my team so you know I think it was like not having matoma in my team and not having  you know embumo you know at the time and some of these players were returning consistently as well  and actually getting bigger holds than what Salah is returning so you know from that point of view  I you know I wouldn't say that I knee jerked but I made a conscious decision to to sort of you know  drop

Salah from my team and transfer in a couple of other players that were I guess being a little  bit defensive and I think when you're playing when you're playing like um quite sort of early  on in your in your FPL sort of career as well it's really difficult to sort of work out what  is the right thing to do in that in that kind of scenario you know even though I had a really good  season last season you know I entered the season um in around like two and a half thousand um which  was um which wa

s a really good season for me and I started off really well as well but this season  you know I had to kind of relearn some of those things and you know this has actually been a  massive learning curve especially from a you know how to make how to continue it continuously  make these decisions in a way where you're not knee-jerking you're not sort of you know you're  you're keeping a check on your mental health at the same time as well and making sure that you're  you know you're you're being as

consistent as possible and just you know trying not to not to  knee-jerk as well and so the the fear of missing out and knee-jerk sort of you know um reaction is  really really strong when you're not doing so so well and so you know you start sort of questioning  your own kind of your gut you start questioning your decision making process you start questioning  everything that you thought you knew about playing well right especially because um you're not  getting the returns or the um the the o

utcome that you really hoped to to get and so you know  you go so far and in my case you know I got to um end of game week five and planning for  game week six and and I'm pretty sure I'd I'd um so I spent a fair bit of time in my last video  and last sort of spaces where I talked about um what team members you know I've got right  now and and who I'm thinking about sort of transferring out bringing in that kind of thing  and I think at the time I was very adamant that um you know I'm probably g

oing to be losing one  if not both my Chelsea players I had chilwell and Jackson in my team and bloody hell they've  been a pain in the ass to have and own as well and so you know I was being as patient as possible  and so and this is what I mean with the your gut is telling you your instincts based on how you've  been playing previous seasons is telling you that you should be patient and that you should trust  yourself and so you know I'm a firm believer of all these things and so you know I wa

s trying my  best to to follow the same patterns that you know I the type of advice that I would be giving  to other people as well you know just to kind of trust yourself but like I say you know when  things are not going to plan you start questioning your gut decisions you start questioning your  decision-making process you start questioning the the um the content that you might be consuming  the people that you're sort of talking to um you know you start questioning everything  around you esp

ecially when you go back to pack back game weeks of not sort of getting the returns  that you you hoped that you would get and so you know I think um like last last week I had  pretty much sort of made a decision to definitely sort of I had two free transfers definitely  transfer out you know two players bring you know two two new players in and the problem the  predicament I guess I had was that I I wasn't able to bring in and and obviously last week's hype  was Alvarez and so and that was insa

ne as well oh my God like he had how many I think it was like  1.3 mil or 1.4 mil transfers in that's insanely High you know I think like we've had quite a few  transfers in each week you know for one or two players and there's like so many memes out there  as well with you know what's going to happen next and and it feels like you know we already kind  of vaguely have an idea of what the the potential um you know the next bandwagon might be um with  a double game week coming but um look I I rea

lly wanted Alvarez as well because I've seen him you  know a consistently sort of provide those returns as well and you know I was previously a little bit  skeptical about sort of jumping on bandwagons like that and you know last season I was in a really  good place where I managed to catch some of those big Halls much earlier on as well and so when  you've had that feeling and you know that you can you know sort of go back there you try and sort of  experiment and so in my case I was experiment

ing a lot more which is a good thing and a bad thing  and you know the reason why I say it's a it's a good thing and a bad thing I mean it's good to  experiment because you learn things very quickly and you know you you can then sort of you know  it's like having hypotheses and you test them and you sort of go yeah okay that's that's validated  my my initial assumption and this is this is now something that I can move forward with or it's  it's actually um invalidated and so you're sort of like

okay well back to square one I'm gonna  try something you know different but that's also kind of the opposite of what you should be doing  doing when you're playing FPL as well so I guess from that point of view something to learn I think  it comes down to risk appetite as well and so look I took earlier on took out like players like Salah  brought in you know more defensive sort of players especially to sort of you know because of my EO  um uh or their the players that I brought in their EO mor

e than anything and to make sure that I was  not getting you know smashed every every game week um but last game week I pretty much um headed down  the pathway of um making um I guess like banking in a whole series of transfers and different sort  of Pathways and this was like my extreme sort of my way of panicking I guess like you know as you  sort of get to know me as well you know the way I panic is usually I've got it over plan I've  got a plan everything out I've got to work out you know ev

ery sort of transfer I'm going to make  and how much wiggle room I've got between you know sort of the the budget I've got and you know how  much money I've got in the bank all of that kind of thing and so in my video last week I pretty  much you know went through two drafts where I had the option to take out Walker from my team  and um and bring in Alvarez and uh so you know I'd be pretty much ripping up the team a little  bit um to to sort of you know bring in Alvarez because again bandwagon f

omo all of that sort of  especially when things are not going right those emotions are even heightened and so yeah it's  really tough when when that happens um I can see like someone's um requesting to so Tien I'm really  sorry I'm not I haven't actually got sort of audio plugged in for a a two-way conversation so we're  gonna have to try and do this in a planned way um sorry about that maybe you can message  me and I can sort of grab whatever whatever sort of message you're trying to send  and

and um uh I'll read it out as well um so yeah I guess like because of that I decided  that I'm going to sort of look for information in um in other places and so you know this is where  I sort of turned to the algorithm and you know the different sort of algorithms we've got available  to us and and it's really frustrating from that point of view because um you know obviously  algorithms are going to give you information so these this is all Based on data that it has and  it provides you with mo

re data and based on that data you're making decisions right and it doesn't  factor in you know things like eye tests and and stuff like that as well as not as much anyway  um oh okay so Tien pressed request by mistake um I thought you're going to have some really um  wise words some profound words to say there but feel free to check that in as well if you have  any wise words because you are a constant source of good I had lots of good advice um so look from  from that point of view I turned to

the algorithm um uh I won't sort of you know name which ones or  anything like that but I you know I took a look at a few that were available and tried to sort  of work out what it was telling me and you know like if you wanted to sort of have a look at that  video uh please go to my YouTube channel you can check that out I actually went through like up  right up to game week 12 or something like that different Pathways of having you know Alvarez and  the team and the other draft actually had e

duard in the team and so and again this was based on  I'm not going to be able to bring in the the um the the key transfer of that game week which is  going to be probably Alvarez for a lot of people um but I can I can only bring in um you know  one other sort of forward and because I wanted to get rid of Jackson so it was almost like  I'd made a decision I I didn't want to hold Jackson any longer um and so from based  on the algorithm Edward was coming up you know really weird and Tien just sai

d  no wise words sorry all good all good um so yeah so Edward was coming up quite high  for um the fixture that Palace had as well uh which is against Fulham and so look I wasn't sort  of entirely convinced about that but based on you know sort of making a decision I'll go Edward  and Edward being a really cheap player he was only like 5.5 when I was you know thinking about  bringing him in um I also decided if I was going to get rid of chilwell um actually it was between  chilwell and Gabriel I

've still got Gabriel on the team which is a total [ __ ] my life moment  because I think it's just dropped in price again and I've held on to him like way too long  but you know what I it's like sunk cost fallacy um where you know it's it's it's done but he's  also returning as well so it's kind of well okay you're not a problem for me right now so you  can stay um but with chill well you know he got benched in the the last game week um and the game  week before that as well of course so you kn

ow I think from that point of view you start to sort of  go go okay well I need to just Chuck these these guys out from my team so if I got rid of Jackson  and got rid of chilwell all of a sudden I've got all this funds available and so then you're like  oh my God you know why have I got so much money sitting in the bank when I can actually put  that towards bringing in another player and so um instead of doing that I started planning ahead  and working out ah okay maybe I don't need a wild card

at this point and and all of a sudden I'm  like well that's bloody awesome if I don't need to wildcard at the moment then I can probably  transfer in Salah eventually by game week nine at the very least and not to you know without sort of  ripping up my team too much and so yeah I started just planning you know because of that um and you  know I think it was um I think it was on Friday where I'd pretty much sort of convince myself yep  Edward's definitely the move that I'm gonna make and yeah I

'm probably gonna go botman because  botman then enables you know sort of you know um uh loads of money in the bank and I can then  bring in Salah later on so that was that was the plan of attack basically and so yeah I think I got  to like Friday afternoon or morning or something like that and I'd messaged um FPL planner um so  Tien I you know messaged uh Tien to say hey I think I'm pretty much convinced um that these  are the moves I'm going to make and um I think he said like he I can't remem

ber exactly what he  said immediately after I think it was just say oh that's great you know fantastic and I mentioned  what my moves are and then I sort of you know put forward my my fomo and I really really recommend  that you sort of you know when you're thinking about transfers you know obviously the the Twitter  Community is fantastic and this is where I've probably you know learned the most from you guys  and you know just kind of having conversation whether it's out in the public or you k

now just  in in direct messages and stuff like that it's just so useful to kind of just get a different  perspective and just see things from a different lens and you know especially like someone like  me where you know I'm only three seasons in but even like the most experienced you know FPL  managers it's a really good reminder to just get that sense check and and um and then have a few  good friends like that where you can um you can sort of rely on to give you good sound advice and  and wher

e you don't also take it personally when they criticize your team or anything like that  just really healthy relationship to have there um but um look I um I I then mentioned that um the  uh the EV so the effective you know value over I think it was like eight game weeks or six game  weeks or something like that um it's actually you know eight more points if I would go with Alvarez  and that's basically by ripping up my team getting rid of Walker bringing in Alvarez you know over  a period of si

x game weeks that's going to give me eight more points versus you know bringing in  Edward and sort of banking in about four or five different transfers over the next you know um you  know six game weeks or so as well and um Tien said something really really wise I mean he doesn't  have too many wise words um at the moment but he did say something really wise which was you know I  want my moves to give me eight points in one game week rather than sort of eight points over six  game weeks and it

really really hit home for me um I think immediately my reaction was I need  to just close this algorithm and just you know put it aside don't look at it don't sort of you  know don't focus on that at all and it's such a good point and I think we forget that right  when we're over planning when we're thinking about you know sort of our transfers where we're  banking these transfers in as well you know it's so easy to to get sucked into that over planning  you know mentality and not sort of think

about um you know what you can do in the in the game  week that's in front of you as well and so yeah look I'm I'm really glad that I I took that  advice on board but then you know to to to to sort of make things um more interesting or you  know with the plot thickening by the evening I think I'd obviously made up my mind I was going to  get rid of chilwell and I'd made up my mind about you know Jackson as well and so the biggest plot  twist in all of this was okay I'm not actually um you know

going so based on that advice I was  like yeah you know I'm gonna go Batman and Edward right but this way I've still got loads of money  in the bank and you know I can I've got lots of options if I don't plan too far ahead I've still  got money in the bank and I've got lots of options um so the the next plot twist I had was um as  I was sort of you know going about my day and thinking about my transfers getting to the  evening I realized you know and this was on Saturday I think um not even on F

riday at  this point but on Saturday I think I've gone shopping and played some tennis and you know  it's just kind of you know just thinking about my transfers in the background and um I realized  that these moves are not going to give me any Joy I'm not having fun I'm really not having fun  and I'm thinking about this from a you know I've got loads of money in the bag like what am I  I don't know what's gonna happen next game week I don't know what's gonna happen the game week  after and yeah

it's great to have some money in the bank and it's great to sort of you know  have that flexibility absolutely and you know I might regret sort of saying all of these things  but um I decided you know what I don't know if I want to go botman I actually want trippier  because I love trippier I think he's great and I had him last season he did really great  for me last season and I know Newcastle defense haven't necessarily been shining you know at  this stage but um uh the fixtures were there rig

ht like the fixture was there ready I mean look  we did not predict it was going to be eight nil um there was no way we could have predicted  something like that I think you know at best we thought maybe like two or three goals and possibly  you know highly likely clean sheet as well but um you know like we didn't know it was going to  be eight nil anyway so Saturday I'm thinking nah [ __ ] that I'm just gonna play how I wanna  play I'm gonna put you know base it on on my gut instinct and you kn

ow I was chatting to um uh  again you know I was trying to fpl planner about it and I said you know what I think I'm gonna go  Wilson I really got a good feeling about Wilson I think we'd just heard as well after the the press  conference as well around um um uh isak be having a neem issue or [ __ ] or whatever it was and so I  think that sort of you know was playing on my mind as well from uh actually you know Wilson might be  a really good shout to bring in this um this game week and and so yo

u know all of a sudden I've done  a huge U-turn after doing a 50 minute video last week around you know Edward and Alvarez and  sort of so yeah it was a massive plot twist um unexpected I wasn't planning it but I'm really  happy that I did it um the funniest thing is I had no idea I don't think anyone knew how things  were gonna go you know with um with the game week anyway look it is is a it's it's all about  luck a lot of it is sort of you know creating your own luck as well I think someone me

ntioned  that to me on on Twitter today as well that you know you put yourself in a position to to sort  of be lucky and and I think that's a really good point and something to sort of focus on a little  bit as well that you know sometimes we do need to um you've got to be in it to win it and you've  got to have that mentality put yourself in that position to to try and sort of you know tempt  fate and attempt to luck and you know sort of uh and hope for the best as well and and I think  that's

one thing I've definitely been able to do is hope for the best but honestly I think I've  been focusing a lot more on what data was telling me over the past couple of game weeks definitely  because my my decisions from game week one and two weren't going well so instead of sort of trusting  the process and trusting my gut and being patient I decided to trust um lots of other things um  above my gut and above my instinct and above my process so you know I think it's important to  sort of keep you

rself in check and and kind of you know like reflect on your game weeks have a think  about you know what's worked what hasn't worked um and try and sort of you know do a bit of a  retrospective on that and what what you what could you do differently as well and so you know  I started um doing that a little bit more and and I realized that the one thing that stood out  to me was that I wasn't playing with my heart and I wasn't you know making decisions based on  the players that I really really

wanted and so yeah immediately um I felt good and even even with  the thought of this could go terribly wrong Wilson might not start he might just get 10 minutes 20  minutes or whatever it may be isak might start and he might be completely fine and so you know  same with trippier it was like well you know there was all this conversation about trippier being um  rotated with uh liver Bento as well and so I was like you know what I I'm I'm okay with all of the  above I'm okay with all of that and

I think it was because I was going with my gut this time more  than what data was telling me you know when data gives you information about something that could  be a sure bet or you know this is like your your betting odds basically isn't it and when something  is so high and you've got high level of confidence it feels like a no-brainer to go towards that but  realistically you know this is all this is a game about luck right and it's a game about chance  it's a game about sort of you know yes

it's strategic yes you're making decisions based on  all of these things but at the end of the day if you're only using one Avenue to make that decision  not to say that I had been only using one Avenue like you know using algorithms but um I started  questioning my instincts above everything else and so yeah I think you know that's something that  I'm going to hold on to quite quite dearly and and try not to do too often as well so um yeah  anyway look I'm I've got another request for a um a c

onversation so for those that are new to  this this is pretty much one-sided I apologize I'm not going to be able to capture the audio I'm also  recording this so it will come on it'll go on to my YouTube channel um as well so my apologies um  if you wanted to sort of have a bit of a chin wag um I will open it up at some point as well and  find a way to even sort of stream it directly on YouTube as well so you know bear with me um  anyway so look in a nutshell and you know my long very long-wind

ed way of sort of saying you  know about sort of trusting your gut and actually celebrating some of those wins as well  I managed to actually slash my um my game week rank sorry my um overall Rank by half which  is fantastic um and it should be celebrated and you know I think we forget to do that as well  so look I I was at 4.3 mil um last game week and you know now I'm sitting at 2.1 which is still  ridiculously high it's really sort of you know um it's really difficult right like we we can see

  that there's a lot more engaged managers this time around it's very very competitive you know I can't  believe how high the safety score was this time as well so I think my safety score was something like  63 points or you know maybe even higher and so you know I think kudos to all of you if you manage  to meet your safety score or even get higher points you know I think I had a message from  someone saying um saying oh you know I only got 82 points and you know that you've put my points  to l

ike my game week to shame sort of thing or I don't know something something along those lines  and I was like no hell no you know like that is a huge score and you should be really proud  of that and you should celebrate those things um as well and think about you know I guess the  decisions that you made leading up to that process and and hold on to those as well so yeah look I'm  really happy that I managed to kind of halve my um my overall rank um it is a process it is it's  a huge mountain t

o climb and I know that you know I know it's a huge mountain to climb but you know  what I have to admit and I felt this way last game week the game week before as well I love a good  challenge and so for me I'm looking at this as a a really good interesting sticky challenge to  get stuck into from a how do I make these micro adjustments whether that is I'm going to roll  my transfer or just make one transfer or just you know just be a bit more considered and and  go with my gut sort of feeling

a little bit more um is is how I you know would like to  play and so look I'm glad that I went with um the gut calls there obviously you know there's  always going to be the um I think I woke up this morning and saw the score because I I didn't  watch um all of the match um you know overnight it's like so in Australia they I think the um um  the Newcastle match was on at 1 30 in the morning and so I managed to catch about half an hour of it  um before I decided to go to bed because obviously it'

s it's Monday and you know it's like a school  night um for me and and so yeah there was no way I was going to stay up for the whole match but  waking up to eight nil I was like oh [ __ ] yeah so Wilson what did he get a hat trick did he get  did he get a brace and so you're always going to get that feeling isn't it where you sort of you  know you look at the score and you sort of go how on Earth is it possible that a different players  got returned got different you know got all those goals um

insane but there you go but look you  know what at the end of the day I'm really happy that I got some return you know Wilson was  a huge differential for me trippier you know 8.18 pointer was massive as well and so look you know  the I mean look Bern got return um uh so did Bob um and so look you know it's it could have  been it could have been any of them right and but look I went with trippier because of the um  the set pieces and you know just that extra bit of you know kind of movement and

um crosses and  things that trippier makes and so that's what sort of brought me to brought me to trip here  and because I didn't want to get rid of Walker and [ __ ] yeah like I'm glad that I didn't get  rid of Walker because that could have been insane um Walker got an assist 11-pointer and you know  they finally managed to keep a clean sheet so yeah I think again you couldn't have predicted  that and foden getting that return as well so you know again sort of being patient with with your  pla

yers and and so it was a huge sort of learning um exercise for me over the past couple of game  weeks in this game week especially so I think the only players that didn't return from my team were  um and bumo rashford and um actually yeah that's that's pretty much it and Boomer and rashford um  I don't think it's Tiffany and got a return but he got um actually no he did I think he did he  got a return So yeah so six points for stupenian as well and Pickford I guess like you know those  of us tha

t have patiently been holding Pickford um I'm not proud of it but here we are it is  what it is you know I don't think I'm going to be making a um you know a goalkeeper transfer just  yet but um looking at in a nutshell it's a really good game week and um and look at the moment um  I'm not really thinking about making transfers for game week seven so you know what I'm thinking  at the moment so my bus team is looking like pick fitting goal um playing Luton um and then I've got  Walker trippier a

nd um Gabriel you know in my back line um at the moment I'm playing Five in the  middle so I haven't really decided if I want to play Madison or not because um Spurs are playing  Liverpool but I'm thinking about having Madison and bumo rashford foden and Saka and then up front  I'll have Wilson and Newcastle are playing Burnley so maybe that's a good game for him to start again  and and get some returns as well so let's see and and Harland of course and I'll be captaining  Harland um this game w

eek it does mean that I'm benching a stupid Nyan and I'm not crazy about  that idea about benching his opinion against uh Villa but um and so this is where I'm toying with  the um uh the thinking around benching Madison potentially um and look on my radar of sort of  you know potentially moving out of my team our players like embumo rashford um even sakur in  the short term I'd be I'd be tempted to do that and mainly because I haven't really decided when  I'm wildcarding and So based on based on

when I'm wildcarding I might sort of dead end and sort of  just make a couple of moves that sort of give me um you know just channeling channeling FPL  planner a little bit here and give me give me points in in the game week that you know  we're going into so I haven't really decided I'm not crazy about bringing in double  game week players call me mad I don't know um not excited about you know bringing in  anyone and don't really want to you know I rather have two free transfers going into gam

e  week eight and potentially even sort of uh look at bringing in son then as well so I don't know  I haven't haven't really decided about that but um look at I think at the moment I'm  quite happy with my game week seven team um might not be a green arrow just because  I know there'll be a lot of FPL managers and there's there are a [ __ ] ton of you know engaged  FPL managers at the moment as well and they'll probably be thinking about you know having um many  you know get um double game weake

rs or there'll be lots of players playing you know their free  hit as well so I can't imagine there'll be many um managers I'm sure there will be but I can't  imagine many managers um uh hitting their wild card and get in week seven or maybe there will  be I'm not sure but it's one of those game weeks where um yeah maybe maybe not um but um look at  the moment I'm seriously considering wildcard in eight nine or ten I'm not sure just yet I can  actually get to Salah If I sacrifice rashford but ag

ain you know what I'm quite happy to not  plan that far ahead you know just because it's um yeah I just want to sort of um base it on  how game week seven goes and and go from there but yeah I'm quite happy to have you know two  free transfers going into the next game week so um sorry going into game week eight that is  and just rolling the transfer this game week so yeah look that's what I'm thinking  at the moment really happy with um you know where things are from that point of  view and and

look it's all about perspective isn't it so you know here I am sort of you know talking  to you guys for for the last sort of 30 minutes or so talking about how happy I am with uh going from  you know 4.3 mil to 2.1 mil um but it is progress and and that's those are the types of things  that you should be celebrating and you should be sort of focusing on it's the progress that you're  making and taking you know one step at a time as well like there's no way I could have predicted  that I would h

ave had a 50 you know Green Arrow um at best you know I would have been happy  with like 20 10 whatever you know Green Arrow it would have been just perfect because I've  only had red arrows from you know when I started um the season so yeah really happy from that  point of view um and it is a marathon and there's a long way to go and but I'm really excited  at the prospect of sort of climbing the ranks um now and and just being a bit more patient and  just you know have finding um a little bit

of like I guess um a little bit of like opportunities  wherever they're possible and seeing like the positivity you know like I'm definitely a glass  half um full person and so yeah feeling feeling a little bit more optimistic and yeah so  yeah look that's where I'm at at the moment um like I mentioned earlier um thank you  so much for for joining joining me and you know this the this video will be available on  YouTube probably in the next sort of hour or so um yeah I really appreciate all of y
