How do you feel about the June-July results?

I am devastated that in the end I fell 0.01 points short of overtaking
Jesus in the Cycle 1 standings. I demand a recount!

Unfortunately, Neymar may get some more caps and cancel this so-sweet situation.

Ha! I have checked the numbers of Cycle 1 players, and I have found a
couple of discrepancies.

Hernanes (Jesus' pick) has 27 caps and 2 goals (according to both
wikipedia and TransefrMarkt). He was picked by Jesus when he had one
cap, so he should give Jesus a total of 28 points, not 25 as listed on
the site.

Neymar, again according to both wikipedia and TransferMarkt, has 128
caps and 79 goals, a total of 207 points, not the 202 listed on the site
(he was picked by Jesus at zero caps).

Therefore, Jesus is still in second place, but by more than 0.01 points.
Take that, milivella!

(Now, do I want to double check MH's players? Hmm...)

Come to think of it, this was probably a deliberate ploy by the Evil
One: dupe me into thinking that I had overtaken Jesus, and then suddenly
reveal that he had missed a number of caps and goals...

How many FS points is that worth?

Interesting to find out that Müller also OWNS a horse's ass.

How many FS points is *this line* worth!

Give this man a place on the podium.

Highly derivative, I am afraid. There was a joke in Academia about a
very wealthy donor who was giving untold millions to a small NE US
University, with the condition that they award an honorary degree to his favourite racehorse.

The president could not turn down that amount of money, but when it came
time for honorary degrees at the graduation ceremony, prefaced his
remarks with "Well, this is the first time I have awarded an honorary
degree to a whole horse".

Translation: "some of the donkeys I picked were inexplicably given a lot
more space in their NTs than they deserved, but I won't complain."

The 2023-24 season

Cycle 5

Most important event:
- Foden and Havertz had great club seasons, which makes them more likely
to keep scoring FS points for years.
- Therefore, Binder is now more likely to win the race for the podium.
- Therefore, Alberto has fewer chances to do so.

This doesn’t help does it

Ter Stegen might be out for the season.
