I didn't think I'd be doing it but I'm considering doing a CLS63 and maybe also not play this one. I've never really been able to do much in improving how much I show up for the GWs in normal times, but I can sense already I'm going to be even more absent this season especially with some work trips coming up where I'm not even sure I'll have connectivity.
Let's see, though. Uncle bubu tends to ignore his head.
I see that everyone has started building their squads already now. I haven't even signed in to the website. It is going to be very difficult for me to retain my title.  buwaytress I can't even imagine a pool without you. It always gives me peace when I look at the last place and see your name there.

That exactly is how to play as the defending the champion, you don't have much to prove to anyone except Igebotz, who would still believe your mojo have ran out after the "series of lucky moves" that went your way last season. I think buwaytress have actually gotten better in the last two edition, if only he can avoid missing too many game weeks without making necessary transfers to take out injured players and captains, he's surely going to be in contention, he had a great season in the last one for some who missed a lot of GWs, and more so there is no blind Salah captaincy or Nunez ownership to ruin their game weeks over and over again

Yeah, his lucky charm wore out in WC fantasy, I beat his ass - he's a fraud  One season glory isn't enough to convince the Sherrif; he stole my glory last season and that isn't happening this season. He was only better in the last 10 GWs to dog walk Trofo and co..

I just did my first draft and damn, it's a shitty one  Beginning of the season is my favorite time - the usual content creators are as clueless as we all are so I assume there will be a lot of variety in our teams. I'm almost sure I'll go with Haaland, there's a lot of value in this season's 'middle of the price range' picks.

Vini to Arsenal is about 60% chance on major transfer market predictions this week, it was less than 25% last week - I guess alot has changed since the news broke out. If he stays at RM, he goes for free next season. I hate for him going to Arsenal but it's happening guys. This make "no Halaand team" more luxury now- a Midfield of Bruno, Vini, Palmer/Saka and Rogers is going to out score Halaand+ cheap Mids every week. The only way to solve this is if Vini gets 14m

Thanks for the hint, although I didn't find such fat odds, I still placed a bet:  I could be wrong, but this move could be unprofitable/risky for both Vinnie and Arsenal. I don't know what game anyone is playing here, but I suspect the potential move (first to Al-Hilal, now to Arsenal) is simply a means for Vinnie to strengthen his position in the negotiations with Real Madrid. They write that Real has issued an ultimatum for Vinny, the situation will be resolved quickly, I hope my bet works.

Good luck on bets  but I honestly do not want to see Vini at Arsenal although the chances of that happing is looking good but it's always difficult for Real Madrid to sell their best players it's always the other way round. Something tells me that Vini camp could be using Arsenal as a bait to make Real Madrid agree to the renewal bonuses he's asking for. We saw alot of Rodrygo to Arsenal News last season and nothing happened. RM hates to sell, everyone love it there.

I see that everyone has started building their squads already now. I haven't even signed in to the website. It is going to be very difficult for me to retain my title.  buwaytress I can't even imagine a pool without you. It always gives me peace when I look at the last place and see your name there.  It is a public service that I've been dutifully undertaking every season and it is my wish to continue to do so... but I fear that my donations are becoming almost so normalised now I'm being taken for granted. Perhaps I have to remind people how it feels like without my head to step on. I think buwaytress have actually gotten better in the last two edition, if only he can avoid missing too many game weeks without making necessary transfers to take out injured players and captains, he's surely going to be in contention, he had a great season in the last one for some who missed a lot of GWs, and more so there is no blind Salah captaincy or Nunez ownership to ruin their game weeks over and over again  Am I really doing so well though? I feel like 5 points below someone is great, but 20+ points in FPL is a world of difference, and that's how I'm judging myself here. I definitely improved a lot without blindly putting in Nunez and other hopeless Reds, you really can't play FPL like fantasy, you have to play like a robot. The missed weeks some were accidental, some not, but always a product of really having such a busy schedule, one I fear does not improve next season, hence my possible withdrawal. Don't get me wrong, I like the competition, just can't really do it justice. The Challenge one is even worse haha and there is I think where you lose the most on prizes just by forgetting. It's baffling why the sign in is separate!

We saw alot of Rodrygo to Arsenal News last season and nothing happened. RM hates to sell, everyone love it there.
The reason why the chances are said to be higher this week is because of image rights which Real Madrid holds 50% of it now and Vini wants his shares increased. Personally if that news is actually true then the contract renewal is definitely going to be a hard one because image right is one area you hardly get Florentino Perez to actually compromise. I do agree with you that Vini camp will actually be using Arsenal for bait to get to Perez but let’s not pretend that this could not happen. Real Madrid are usually not fond of selling off their best players but I am looking at this Vini contract saga and I am comparing it to that of Ronaldo then, everyone thought it was the usual transfer saga until we saw the official announcement of Ronaldo signing for Juventus. This Vinicius to Arsenal has higher chances of that happening than Ronaldo’s chance then. Should Madrid spend close to $200 million for the signing of Rodri and Diamonde, and Vini refuses to sign new contract then the possibility will be higher because Real Madrid will want to get some money off him. This make "no Halaand team" more luxury now- a Midfield of Bruno, Vini, Palmer/Saka and Rogers is going to out score Halaand+ cheap Mids every week. The only way to solve this is if Vini gets 14m
I also look forward to that but i strong believe Vinicius price won’t be starting at 14m, I don’t even see him costing more than Bruno, highest I predict for him is 11m

You don't want to see him at Arsenal because you know he will cook!!! What I hear is that Real Madrid is to offer a final take-it-or-leave-it contract. If their new offer is refused by Vini, we will have the advantage to buy him because Real Madrid claim they will not make another offer.

Vinicius going to Arsenal would be great for fantasy. Not sure if it would be that great for Arsenal though  They were missing Saka throughout a lot of the season - he's their flagship player, and rightfully so. I'd buy a player that would compliment his play on the left wing, not a player that would want all the glory while being a terrible teammate in general. Tough decisions at the Emirates - he's undoubtedly world class, but do they really need him?

But you will want to see him at Chelsea, yh?  You don't want to see him at Arsenal because you know he will cook!!! What I hear is that Real Madrid is to offer a final take-it-or-leave-it contract. If their new offer is refused by Vini, we will have the advantage to buy him because Real Madrid claim they will not make another offer. Yeah, I don't want him at Arsenal - you guys are becoming too strong for my liking. Chelsea can't afford his wages with our new wage structure unless he's willing to accept a huge pay cut - our biggest earner is around 250k/week that's less than what G. Jesus earns to only play 7 cup games a season. I miss Abramovich for days like this  Tough decisions at the Emirates - he's undoubtedly world class, but do they really need him?
Yes, for the LW position; Trossard is gone and Martinenlli is average at best.

Vinicius going to Arsenal would be great for fantasy. Not sure if it would be that great for Arsenal though  No, it is bad for fantasy, suddenly you have two 10m players to choose from or Rice, and then how will Arteta accommodate all those players or whether he will bench some of them? This will just allow him to play more mind games on managers. (Not all bald frauds are bald)

Big decision for Arteta to make.

Tough decisions at the Emirates - he's undoubtedly world class, but do they really need him?
Ahh!! I don’t think this should be even up for debate, If there is any major signing that Arsenal should be signing it should be Vinicius. A club like Arsenal which is looking to win the champions league should be going for players like Vinicius. In the last champions league final we all know arsenal lack that one player that could take a team like PSG on and caused them troubles, in games like that a Vinicius is all you need. I think we will be actually asking this question if the position that Vinicius plays is actually the right wing but the left wing where Arsenal only options are Martinelli and new signing Tzoli? I said confidently that yes they need him. No, it is bad for fantasy, suddenly you have two 10m players to choose from or Rice, and then how will Arteta accommodate all those players or whether he will bench some of them? This will just allow him to play more mind games on managers. (Not all bald frauds are bald)
It’s great to me because we can have many options for high profile players like in the past not the obvious Bruno and Halaand only options we are left with. This season’s FPL will just be many identical teams. As for Arteta having options, this Vinicius signing wouldn’t change that, we saw Martinelli comfortably with been just a squad player last season and I think he would still be but regardless of anything Vinicius works straight into the team. And there's still Bruno G going to Arsenal to add more headaches; are we going to see a midfield of Zubimendi + Bruno + Odegaard or Rice + Bruno + Odegaard. Big decision for Arteta to make.
Rice + Bruno + Odegaard looks more likely in major games because it was clear Arteta wasn’t comfortable with Zubimendi towards the end of last season due to his error leading to goals, or in occasions were Missed Odegaard doesn’t steps up we could see options like Zubimendi + Rice + Bruno, Bruno played the AM at World Cup for Brazil and did well to me. Another big headache in the midfield will be a Fit Mikel Merino

I think the game needs a few more premiums at this point in time. That's why I'd like 1-2 superstars arriving before the end of the transfer window. Ahh!! I don’t think this should be even up for debate, If there is any major signing that Arsenal should be signing it should be Vinicius. A club like Arsenal which is looking to win the champions league should be going for players like Vinicius.

They need a LW, that's for sure. I just don't think they need Vinicius. Saka is world class, no doubt about that. Arsenal is a team with perfect balance at the moment - they won the title without Saka and with Trossard/Martinelli rotating on the left wing. I'd rather bring a player like Barcola than Vinicius - Vini is a huge financial gamble. Nobody is doubting his talent, title winning teams are built around a little bit more than talent though.

Saka world class? That’s arguable though, but let’s leave that aside As a rival fan I will be more than happy that Arsenal are getting Barcola instead of Vinicius. You said something about financial gamble I think that Barcola kind of costs as much as Vinicius now based on PSG valuation of the player, only difference is the wages which I think Barcola will be fine with half of the £500k that Vinicius is asking off. Come to think about this financial gamble, I think as a team aim for the top then you can afford not to take this kind of gamble. They won the league with a star, but the most toughest thing to do is to retain that title, Manchester City did it by going after world class players. Although team togetherness should be a strong emphasis.

Well, I'd say he is looking at the caliber of players we have in this generation; not many talented players compared to what we had 15-20 years ago. Saka, Foden, Palmer, Yamal and the rest of the players in their "hype" group are good players to my own taste but not a "World class" as per my standard. World class are Mbappe, Bruno and Vini ( this category) When's the buy-in, guys? I'm so tired of waiting  Nothing official yet but soon I hope. If you're too bored, you can send the 1 BTC buy-in to my Paris address. I'm going to see Slissy

I have not heard any news of Arsenal going after Barcola.
