To borrow a phrase from Noni Madueke: everything about this game is s***. Well, not really—in fact, FPL is a really compelling, well designed game, especially with this year’s pricing—but it can feel pretty awful when the team you spent the entire summer tinkering with, and one that looks quite decent on paper, just kind of flops after the first couple of weeks. Alas, it is what it is—and though that may sound defeatist, I’m using it in the defiant way here, in the sense that we’re accepting what’s transpired and blazing onwards, unfazed. The meat and potatoes of this first midweek episode are about how to deal with a bad start (which, generally speaking, both Jacob and Jiayang have suffered). Sprinkled within is a neat little debate about when the best moment to get Ollie Watkins might be, as well as a bit of light economics chitchat.
