It feels surreal to be trustworthy. It is a tremendous feeling to be finest on the planet – particularly in a football-related recreation I like. It has not sunk in but however the messages of help have been overwhelming.

Wilson performed an enormous function in my win, as he was subbed on for a brief cameo in GW38 and blocked Ethan Pinnock’s 15 factors for No 2 on the planet.

The worst choice was getting Kevin De Bruyne in my WC, which nearly price me a win. I wildcarded in GW34 and squeezed in De Bruyne by getting low cost gamers in different positions. Consequently, he missed three out of the 4 video games I owned him for and acquired me solely three factors in a single recreation. The remainder of my staff regarded very weak however someway I managed to get it over the road.

What traits from this season will proceed in 2023/2024?

I’ll undoubtedly observe the identical patterns as within the earlier two seasons. It served me nicely for positive as I completed 215th final season.

Taking a look at chip technique, I’ll attempt to use my wildcard as late as doable as it’s the strongest chip which lets you change your complete staff when issues go flawed.

Attempt to take as few hits as doable as they do not essentially repay. Play your individual recreation it doesn’t matter what as it’s the solely method to have enjoyable in FPL.
