For those wanting to play FPL again or try it for the first time. The league code to join is ‘zfp2q5’ without the ‘ ‘ of course.

If youve never played before it’s simple and free. The members here would be glad to answer any questions anyone has about how to play.

It’s like the 14th system the guys have had to learn in the last year. I do think they’ll get it. Maresca has a solid resume

You should go watch the tactics breakdown he gives of his system on ‘Coaches Voice’ if you haven’t already. It provides good insight to what he asks for:

How many first team are playing?

Planned to go to Man City AC Milan tonight, but Grealish wasn’t a god enough reason to go.

Enough to not have these kind of performances. The other night was fine in the 1st half and then all the young guys came in and it went to **** quick. Today though, about half the first team has played a large part of the game. They just don’t look comfortable within the system yet. Is what it is for now. More worried that we have 3-4 important starters that aren’t even going to join the US tour which means no preseason for them to learn and get comfortable before start of the season.

Is CP not playing right now? I know he was on break but the US got ousted pretty early from Copa so figured he would be back with Milan by now. Would have been cool to see regardless though.

I assume he is, and that is the main reason I would have gone. But I have seen him play, otherwise I definitely would have gone. Also, I had too much wine at lunch, so my energy was low. 😀

Good to hear Chelsea looks like sh*t. Spurs had a 16 year old net the game winner today.

Haven’t watched that particular one, I’ll check it out. Thanks.

It’s just gonna take some time. Team is going from pure vibes tactics of Poch, to the more strict tactics of Maresca. Listened to a podcast that said don’t be surprised if it takes the players a bit of time to get comfortable. So far, that comments been spot on.

Sporting Directors still haven’t learned their lesson after the extremely bloated squad 2 seasons ago with Potter 😒

On the other hand, Neto is finally a signing that I don’t shrug my shoulders on. If he can stay healthy, he’s a great fit for the new system.

Surely they’ll loan some of them out. There was a time several years ago where it felt like between the actual squad and the loanees, Chelsea owned half the players in England.

That’s definitely the Chelsea way: The Chelsea Loan Army. Will have to be all in England though with only allowed to have 3 international loan spots and those are already committed to a few players going to the other club the Chelsea owners own now, Strausburg. I hope to see some outgoings too but we will see.
