With the change in prices this year it means that you will most probably only be able to have two "premium" players in a squad. LAst year managed Salah, Haaland and Kane in my squad. This year with Haaland at £14m and Salah at £12.5m it doesn't leave a lot of room for another.
Raya in goal at £5m is worth a punt as he has been solid for the last two years. Otherwise, as stated, full-backs in defence, midfielders (Rice at £5m and going to Arsenal, looks a good buy) that take free-kicks and corners and Forwards that play regularly and perhaps take penalties. Be aware of teams that rotate squads as that will have an impact and if you are playing the official game, understand the different "tokens" and how and when to use them.
Good luck, it's as equally frustrating as it is enjoyable. |

Reply | Your first match without the person who first took you
at 13:27 11 Jun 2023
My first match with my father was against Leeds United in the 74/75 season. He passed away early February 2019 and the first match after his death was the 3-4 home defeat against Birmingham. Through ill health and a falling out of love with the game he decided not to renew his season ticket at the end of the 2016/2017 season, taking his seat sticker with his name with him. We had gone to Rangers together for twenty years before that, along with a very close friend and I continue to go to Rangers with that close friend.
The first game without him would have been the 2-0 win against Reading at the beginning of the 2017/2018 season and at the time it felt very strange not going with him, but we still shared our views on the club and games when we met up, keeping the commonality alive so to speak.
His ashes are at the stadium and I still say hello to him every time I go to a home game. The first time being the 2 all draw with 'Boro on the 9th of November 2019.
The lord only knows what he would have thought of last season. |

Just back from two weeks out in Orlando. None of the theme park malarkey just relaxing and doing local stuff like Melbourne beach and local lakes. Lovely weather, terrible traffic. That will teach us to go over Presidents day and Spring Break as well as Snowbird quarter. |

It's great to see so many responses on this topic, one which I have been under on and off for the last 25 years or so. A result of a mixture of a terrible marriage and the resultant separation and protracted divorce, redundancy, unemployment, the loss of my father, new job with an absolute abhorrent manager, unemployment again and COVID-19. All over the last 8 years.
I have tried CBT, been on and off meds, tried hypnotherapy and talking therapy.
What works for me is the "one day at a time" mantra and switching negative self-talk to positive talk. I became mindful of what I was saying to myself and started questioning why I was saying the things I said - I wouldn't say them to my closest friend, why was I saying them to myself?
My therapist asked me to think of what soothed me and this, for me, would be music (Shout out to the Frankie Friday Thread!!), spending quality time with my new partner and getting outside. I have had to find the right solution for me as I believe there is not a one size fits all solution.
Hated being on meds and have recently finished a phased withdrawal.
I hope that I have learnt to identify my triggers and manage these accordingly and I am very grateful to have a very understanding partner who has been through the same thing which has helped immensely.
What I have found comforting is the knowledge that I am not the only one going through this, it just hasn't been talked about much in the past and was always regarded as a weakness.
A great post and the OP is to be applauded for being so brave, difficult to start the conversation, easier to join in.
I wish everyone that has gone through, is going through this debilitating illness peace of mind, stability and happiness in whatever shape it comes. |

My thoughts are that he probably hears it in the background or as "white noise" and that is different to having it screamed directly behind you so that you can hear it. My recollection is that he asked the guys politely. The two guys that you are referring to were somewhat worse for wear and had a bottle of alcohol which they mixed in with their soft drink. They left this under the seat at the final whistle.
As someone that sits near to the family you are talking about I endeavour to curtail my industrial language so he doesn't hear it from me. Don't get me wrong, I can swear and misbehave with the best of them.
I feel for the mum and dad as they want him to experience the beautiful game and he enjoys it, yet they try to minimise his exposure to the language that has increased in strength over the last two frustrating seasons that I have been sitting there.
Apart from moving to the so called family stand or not attending games full stop, I wonder what alternatives this family has as they try to minimise the effects it may have on him. |

Thread | Diarra Deal off
at 14:59 1 Sep 2014
BBC Sport's Mandeep Sanghera: "QPR's move for midfielder Lassana Diarra from Lokomotiv Moscow has fallen through.
"QPR boss Harry Redknapp had said the 29-year-old had signed but there's been a late hitch and the deal is now off.
"There seems to be an issue between Diarra and Lokomotiv and the Loftus Road outfit won't be pursuing that one any more."

Had this joyous event happen on holiday in Orlando.
Doing 75 in the fast lane on the way back from Sarasota and a wonderful chap gets right up close to the rear of the car. Rather annoyed and looking to impress my new girl friend, I reluctantly pull in and he zooms off. Less than 90 seconds later State Trooper in my rear view mirror zooms past and pulls him over to book him.
Ain't Karma wonderful.
Has never happened over here though, unfortunately! |

Premier League ruling apparently, never had it last time we were up there.
Have new seats and will need to acquaint ourselves with those around us. oh and a bloody great pillar in the way. Did ask if they will take it down and give us back our seats if we get relegated.
That went down well!! |

It affects rows T back up to the last row and around 12-15 seats across.
A total of 80 seats being cleared to make way for whatever is going in there.
The sweetener was that we could go and see the players train. I live 15 minutes away and informed them that I could do that whenever I wanted.
Good luck to everyone up there. It's not the moving it's the breaking up of friendships and the banter established over a long period of time that's the frustration. |

That was us, went to the box office last Saturday as I'm currently out of the country and wanted to get it sorted. Not offered any "sweetener" by the guy there, no discount just an apology. We were fortunate to get three seat together in the same block, looks like there aren't any spares until gone 28th June. Guy in box office has given us a promise to ensure that we can move seats if any one doesn't renew. (Something I think is highly unlikely).
I did ask what would happen if we get relegated again and would we get our seats back. The guy just had a situations vacant look on his face!!
Good luck with it all. |
