Might be FPL radio silence for a while, but just to say baby was born on Monday at an incredibly satisfying (as a numbers fan)

Timing the birth for an international break is a genius move.
We also expect regular updates on xP (expected poo) and an FPL account for junior in the next couple of years.

FPL_BabyStats may be the first account I understand

That’s great to hear, congratulations.
The FPL radio silence won’t be now though, Stem, you’re going to have plenty of time whilst New Shoot sleeps and grows.
(It’s next year that the ranking will suffer)
Best wishes

Congrats Stem. You get a triple wammy. Late feed Saturday and/or Sunday morning baby duty for match of the day, along with bonus points from the missus for your sacrifice. Profit!

By my count you'll be being beaten by jnr in approx 9 years.

At least according to my own experience...

[Multiple Scorgasms]

Congrats stem. First one?

some very helpful analysis here.

One thing - to what extent might the improved Everton performance be down to playing against 10 men for half an hour? Was the improvement visible for the whole game, or just later on?

I have Siggy on my radar, and Richarlison in at the moment (although I remain to be convinced of his long term propsects).

Very little in my opinion, Maguire and Morgan in particular with the rest of the Leicester defence struggled to contain the front three all game with Gylfi pulling the strings from behind. Everton could and probably should have been three up before Leicester scored. It was a classic Leicester sucker punch they do so well.

Leicester came out on the front foot for 15 mins in the second half, it really didn’t suit them, they play much better on the counter. Morgan should have been sent off a long time before as he could do nothing but foul the Everton front three. But if you see the winning goal you will realize Leicester could have had 20 players on the pitch and it wouldn’t have mattered.

I am definitely not saying empty your team and get Everton players, but it’s likely at least one is the counter balance in many teams, so just sharing some observations on the state of the union and an interesting development that may offer context to choice, especially with the combinations in the advanced positions last Saturday.

It’s probaly worth saying Everton may be a bit boom and bust as they develop, Silva’s philosphey is high risk go for the win approach rather then the pragmatic philosphey of Moyes, Allardyce or Koeman. Not so good for defenders but interesting for attackers and decent counter balance points there as a result. A decent striker would make all the difference for Everton they are creating so many chances going begging.

The only game they have been unlucky not to win was the West Ham game were they were completely bullied and physically out matched.

Work in progress, nice looking house thats missing a roof, but just maybe what they did up front last Saturday may lead to something more consistent and meaningful.

Thanks for this , useful


I'm considering swapping Maddison out for Richarlison. Maddison was bought in on my wildcard last gw but then Richi started playing OOP. I'd have gone with Richi had I known 

Not sure if this is a bit sideways or not.. I haven't been able to watch as many games as id have liked to and for someone who plays the game more on the eye test it's a bit harder for me this season. Does Richarlison look dangerous ? I'm a bit unsure about Maddison even now

The NFL will get you into the New Year then the golf starts. If your lucky there will be done cricket on too. Unless you don't cuddle that bundle of "not" to sleep from asap.

Yes Richarlison looks dangerous. However I think it's a sideways move to take out Maddison as after this week he has a great run of fixtures so I wouldn't make that switch unless I had 2 frees and nothing to do with them. Richarlison's fixtures are the defininion of 'mixed' - I would say however, I think Maddison has overperformed his stats this season so far and/or been very lucky in some games but his immediate fixtures will keep him ticking over with points.

Thanks mate . I've hardly seen any of Maddison bar the first game. I've heard a lot say similar too about him overachiving. I avoided Shaq all last season out of stubbornness and it cost me big time, I just get the same feeling with an OOP Ricchi but thought with the fixtures for Leicster it could be sideways.

I actually have Hughes. He always looks a threat but never seems to get the returns. I guess he's just not the best finisher

I used to be a good programmer while in college. Then, real life took over, and my programming skills stayed dormant. Became rusty.
So I read this, and thought, why not? One extra skill to pick up, hey?

Full time lurker here. Greatly appreciate all your discussions. I mean all of you, not just baganboy.

This time i had to reply. I have been interested (and delaying) in learning to code for ages. This might just be the thing to get me going.
Thank you so much!

Are Compilers still used?

Machine Code?
