Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2021-22
International break means GABO time as always, so let’s get it!
This panel is filled by 3 FF247 vets. Swirly of Quack Creative fame, who I expect to be more concerned with my use of commas and spelling than answering any of the fpl questions. He is joined by the boss, Init, who hates commas and thinks they are overrated. Speaking of hate, we also have the old grouch back, Kop, who I am sure will be his usual pleasant self when answering.
Well, without further ado, let us see what the boys had to say.






Thanks for reading Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!. This article was written by Mito21.

Did I just use the word ‘informing’ instead of informative??? Aussie living in France – that definitely counts as a ‘non-English speaker’ dunnit???
Leprechaun
Bien evidemment, mate
AJW
That’s what I like to hear!
. Out here in the French Outback – Roos and stinky cheeses!

Well. a weekend off gives me tie to catch up with home chores, such as new exterior shuuters & new carriage and post lamps to hopefully prevent drivers ( old sh1tes here in the Villages, FLA) from driving over my magnolia trees and irrigation pop-ups.

It’s fun getting old and still with a sound mind, which I feel most of the people here lack. Just blowing off steam.

Is your neighbo(u)r called Joe by any chance…

Most of the immediate neighbors are quite good, it is the fact that there are over 150,000or more here and it makes getting around difficult. It is the largest retirement village in the States.
Everyone here looks for bargains. I told my wife that if I set up a table and put a sign that said “FREE” on it it would probably generate a line a block long within minutes. And they would gather up at 0600 hours in the morn, too.

I was alluding to Biden being of that set, but whatever
I love Florida. Whereabouts are you? We were lucky enough to have a neighbour who had an apartment in Cocoa Beach so we spent many a summer out there.
Probably my second favourite ever holiday destination outside of Kenya. But if I had to live somewhere else it’d be there.

In the center of the state between Orlando & Ocala, mainly horse country and retirement homes. It is better than Philadelphia where I was born.

Thank you Mito, Swirly, Innit, and Kop for your efforts, this was a very enjoyable read as always
ODT
Lukaku is flagged at the site. Anyone know what happened?
IvanTheTerrible
I don’t think it’s something to worry about, at least just yet….

Otieno
It’s not good news because even if he recovers quickly “muscle fatigue” is not something that is going to go away
OddDane
Depends if it’s the kind that appears ahead of the National League, also known as the ‘my muscles can’t be bothered fatigue’
Kop Warrior
I suspect this wouldn’t be an issue had Belgium made the final!
Special Agent Dale Cooper
I thought the same thing too.
bundeena bunnies
Great discussion fellas
I had planned to WC this week, give me something to tinker with.
Did Shaw to Cancelo early to avoid the double price change
But not sure if need the WC. Might just see what happens.
What you think?
Any changes. Pogba?
Have 0.3mil on the coffee table
TheDreamers
Wudnt wc that. It seems questionable whether Raphina will be available
OddDane
Don’t forget to charge that phone or you won’t manage to save your team in time!
Also yes, I don’t think Pogba is worth saving… Struggling to find a way to remove him from my side as well
TheDreamers
Is Pogba worth a hit though? Prob not
OddDane
Debating that with myself…
bundeena bunnies
I have held Pogba because he gives me some ManU cover
Smash
Nah looks fine. I think wildcards will have 8 or 9 of those players anyway
Nishu
@Smash please suggest on my WC team. Your guidance always helped me. Stay safe
Smash
I quite like it. I’d prob downgrade Raya to Foster as not sure you need him. I think I’d have either Toney or Mbeumo in my side. I’d prefer Mbeumo to Gallagher (lost a lot of his set pieces) and Townsend
Nishu
@Smash. Thanks, suggestion taken. 1 more question plz.. would you suggest me a differential.
Smash
Chilwell, Mbeumo, Torres, Son (to an extent) Iheanacho and Watkins are all differentials I quite like but all have some risk
Stone Frog
It would give you a benching headache but you could try Raya/Azp/Douglas to Foster/Chilwell/Mbuemo. That way you will have some cover if Chilwell is benched or if some plays are risks/flagged for next week.
bundeena bunnies
Thanks Smash
Unless there are a heap of ib injures
OddDane
Rüdiger not in training due to back problems…
AJW
Oh dear!
Stone Frog
Thanks for the update. Hoping he will be fit. It seems this whole season I’ve been frantically bailing out water trying to get a team out each week.
Smash
