I like the beautiful game. I am beautiful game. 🪿 Jokes - alt comedy - films - music - sport - being cool - engaging with fun people - don't do any of those. Top #fpl manager - 20 seasons - 8 top 30k (4 top 10k) finishes. Best - 1864th

It sounds like Bournemouth and Silva are having a very bad day. He's a WC consideration based on fixtures and defcon ravers. Does anyone that's seen him play know if he's actually any good?

Happy wildcard day to those that celebrate. I'm hoping everyone goes ape on post IB transfers for the next 7 days. Never underestimate the ninkompoopery of the fpl Casual. 🪿

Got a message from a friend, very much an fpl Casual, that my name appeared on the fantasy football scout website when I was flying high a few weeks ago. A lifetime ambition. Don't worry though guys, I'll always just be Goose from the block, but with a sense of well deserved managerial recognition 🪿

It's beyond belief that the US is now buying oil from Russia. Have the leadership no sense and no shame? Jesusssss. They're making comedy accounts like me say things now. I'm going to have to turn to a morning Swedish vodka White Russian to calm down. Honestly.🪿

Just got interviewed by the BBC about why my neighbourhood has been voted the coolest in Sheffield. I moved here 3 months ago. Don't jump to conclusions, but the timing is interesting. Obviously, I didn't mention fpl. 🪿

After a 3 week break full of yellow flags, I'm sure everyone is as keen as I am to watch the pressers for vital information about what other managers think about Man City 🪿

In an interesting twist, the Premier League are set to punish Man City by taking away the experiences that the players had in the dressing rooms and on the pitch during many years of winning trophies. Some kind of memory wipe technology apparently. 🪿

I thought Bluesky closed my account earlier. They could not find Goose when I tried to log on. It made me realise how much I enjoy this little corner of the internet and how I'd miss it. My fpl rank would certainly suffer too without the engagement. In other words, I like you. Awwww🪿

Morgan Rogers noticed an unlocked phone on the table. An fpl team was showing 14 players and one blank spot. Looking closer, he saw that the players were screaming. A logged out message suddenly appeared. He turned around and saw me standing there with another phone in my hand 🪿

I'm sure this will change after a weekend of footy, but here's my current WC7 thinking. Can't really get into the meat and bones just yet. Gvard, Semi, Enzo, Rogers, Gabs, Trafford, Schade, MGW, Barry etc..

Thats fair dude. Been trying for last couple GW's to work out a plan but nothing is really convincing me as yet. Really just plodding along and waiting for something to spark atm. Intrigued to see your WC7 draft though 👀🤔

Accidentally discovered an advanced training programme used by the army called Advanced Training Programme Used by the Army. Get on your elbows in the press up position. That's it. It's amazing. One day in, my beer belly feels like it's completely gone! 🪿

Done a good job of forgetting that my fpl team only got 27 points last gw, knocking me well out of the comforts of top 1k. Of course, it featured no Man City players, so at least I have the moral high ground over the 30 something thousand managers that overtook me via financial doping. Shame on you🪿

I did say that it was a bad idea to wildcard early this year. I did say that there would be International injuries & unknown availability. I did say the price changes would be minor. I did say to save the wilcard until after the 1st International break. God dam I'm a fine fpl manager. Case closed. 🪿

Oh God! GW6 is a week away. I've only got one week to get sober. It is Saturday, though. A couple more tubs of coleslaw won't hurt anyone. Whatever your guilty pleasure, managers, get it out of systems tonight 🪿

I am not an old man. Some would say prime of my life. I'd look like Gerard Butler in 300 if I worked out & dressed a bit Spartan. I can run for miles. If it came down to it, I could still kill a wild animal with my bare hands. Still, I can't stress how much I'm looking forward to a nap later today🪿

I remember one scene where a dishevelled looking Rhys Ifans leaves a sex club, you'd think at night, but when he steps outside, it's actually day time. Don't remember anything else, so I'm rewatching Berlin Station. Good enough to watch, bad enough to forget, a fine combo for a tv buff running low🪿

A friend of mine is a kid's footy coach. All the kids are shit apparently. Really shit. But what's interesting is that the manager whatsapps the parents. Long group msgs, defensive & badly worded, crisis talks every week. They never show improvement. Some parents are crossing lines. Gripping stuff 🪿

Hoping I don't have the nightmare again tonight. You know, a group of engaged managers crash land on a strange planet controlled by FPL Casuals where everyone makes stupid transfers, misses deadlines and stops playing before xmas. In the end they realise that the Casuals are actually themselves. 🪿

Bruno injured on International duty, eh? Unless his leg came clean off, or a team coach hit him, or lightening struck him, or someone from Hollywood gave him ket when he was in the ice bath, or it was shark related, I'm 100% sure he'll still be my fit captain for the start of next gw 🪿

Last night, I found out that my shower holds 6-8 people. I won't get into all the sexy details of how I came to find this out, but let's just say I was recently in a very similar sized elevator with excellent capacity markings. 🪿
