FPL GW21: Preview, update and review (Deadline 10 Jan 11:30)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It's that time again and GW21 beckons...

After a serious spanking from EIB last GW, IGM will be looking to bounce back.

The overall differential currently stands at +161 to The Sisters. Which is the lowest it's been since GW8.

* Does a SAF-like gaze into the distance, in the changing-room, whilst holding a football-boot in his hand *

Winter WCs have been available since the GW20 deadline and a quick look around shows that six out of 22 have been activated:

IGM - Spiritwalkers, Clash All Stars, Meteora Heartland FC.

EIB - Deep Green Sea Utd, Team WMS, Unstuck Forest.

How will that change the fantasy landscape this GW? Only Lady Luck and the Fat Lady will know the answers.

Good luck all! :kiss:

Team here is locked and loaded.
My forward line is even scaring me :eek:

Had to play the wc this week with the Asian and African cup now taking people out.

A few new names and new shirt colours still comimg I wager

Oh. And another spanking? :innocent:
Cheers.

Gets a bit tricky deciding who has the Alice band.
I think both my goalie choices could well be doomed today too, but I am hoping my outfielders balance that out :D
Cheers.

Pretty glad I relegated Sterling to the bench as apparently he is on holiday in the Caribbean, the poor tired lamb. I might make a similar request of my boss on Monday.

In the absence of Sterling, I've got Dean Marney coming off my bench who's been my cheapie 5th mid of choice for yonks. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

Though I will confess that I had to click on his FPL profile pic just to see what he looks like, as I've never seen him play. I'm now starting to feel very guilty that he might think I've just been 'using' him...

Likewise Ivanovic and Austin - the gifts that keep on giving. If only I'd backed my WBA hunch ...

The one where you asked about the 'Pulis Effect'? in the 'secret' section?

The one where I decided to stick with my Foster/Wisdom combo? The one where Mav decided to WC and treble-up on WBA's defence?

That 'hunch'?

Who said Stoke are not such a physical side now that Hughes is in charge?

Some of these challenges are brutal
