Our 2023/24 Overall Rank and Recent History
This time last year I was writing about how our 2022/23 season did not go to plan and how we finished just inside the 300k mark – we weren’t happy about it and boy, did we improve! We not only got back to a 5 digit rank but we had our best ever season and rank by finishing a fantastic 4,238.
That is our 3rd time with a four digit finish so hopefully we can emulate that this season and go for our first three digit finish! We won’t get greedy and ask for top spot just yet!
Initial set up
Let’s tell you a bit about how we went about selecting our team. We started off simple – by owning all the players we wanted and not even looking at prices. The team was stacked! Palmer, Salah, Saka, Haaland, Watkins, Isak, Gvardiol – what a team! We then realised we might get pull aside by FFP rules because we were way in the negatives. We had to make a sacrifice somewhere.
Here comes Diogoal and Trent! They made Salah the obvious sacrificial lamb on our expensive set up. Out went the Egyptian Pharoah so we could get a team that would actually fit the budget.
Everything was set and we were happy. About to sit back and watch the deadline pass but a last minute change was called for. It was voted for Watkins to Solanke due to the older Englishman having had no minutes in preseason. We debated then what to do with the 1.5 surplus left over and it was decided to upgrade Smith-Rowe to Eze. So in came the main Crystal Palace man.
The Line-Up
Everything kind of explains itself here. The bench is filled with our budget options. Barco and Bergvall are there for their potential and hopefully they get some price rises and points from the bench if needed but we don’t think they will be with the XI we have set out. The one 4.5 defender that will be rotated in and out is American, Robinson. Probably the toughest of the defensive fixtures so he is on the bench and ready to come on if needed.
Captain – Isak
Pretty straight forward and no debate on this one. A fantastic striker coming up against a newly promoted side. What’s not to like?

PREDICTED LINE-UPS
Back by popular demand! Well, sort of… Drafthound have changed their line-up approach this season and what it means for us is that we are no longer able to display a live feed of it on here due to some technical difficulties. That said, what they have done looks great and is still only a click away so if you want to access those they are HERE

+1
That’s me. Any ideas where the remaining 0.5 could be invested?

Hiya mate. How about Anderson to Munoz if you’re desperate to spend the £0.5m?
Had same problem I may have two 4.5m keepers
I think there are better 6.5s than Rice but could work. I’d probably save the 0.5 I have in my draft. Or do Konsa and Burn to a 4.0 and Porro
Thanks guys. All great ideas. Just a few hours for the final decision
Hey guys, who’s the best 5m midfielder, do we think?
Short term Rogers but I think long term it will be Carvalho
Thanks bud, do we think Rogers will start?
Hi all! Trying to not leave this last minute when the inevitable FPL site crashes!
I’m currently on this, my question is for the last two places, would you take:
Porro and Gordon
Anderson (or other 4.5 def) and Bruno F

Quansah and Gordon and chase the early fixtures?
Gordon for sure and I do like the idea of Quansah but Porro is more attacking
With Quansah and Gordon I’d have 1 mil in the bank. I could look to upgrade ESR but not sure who would be the best 6.5 mid.
You don’t have to spend it…
But Bailey, Nkunku or MGW
Does this look good?

It does igy.
Thanks guys!
It seems like everyone has the same front 3.
Is there anyone going different?
Plenty I imagine.
Not me though.
