Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at our top 10 to celebrate this milestone!๐
1. The Infamous, Time's Man of the Year 2026, Shia LeBeef aka Beef aka alexanderBEEFsak ๐ฅฉ. The only man in the 1700 club with 1737, 97 points clear of numba 2..

7. V4 Van de Vendetta. Sal, aka Mr. Second half of the season. What an absolute surge from the lad, must be sharing notes with the Roomie! My favorite name of the season. People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people! 1590 points ๐ญ
8. Y U So Obsessed FC. Former Cummish can finally can focus on the league it seems vs. churning out articles each week! Congrats good sir! 1581 points. ๐

10. Disciple of Arsene. The unforgettable Mr. "I love Giuliano Simeone" aka (Good) Scott Tribbey. 1569. ๐ง
Nicely done, nicely done! Hey Might as well take a peep at our bottom 3 too!

42. Matt Dluogpolski, aka Jake Jennings, aka Mr. Join week 2 of the season! Still clearing last place by 107 at 1348 ๐ฉ ....and last and least (in terms of FPL but not our hearts).....
43. Ludicrous Display, aka Roldan! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ While this season seems a wash for Roldan, at least he was champion of the craziest Mario Party (Modern Era, Random Bonus stars (no mini game star), I'm salty) I may have ever partaken in! Ya win some ya lose some!
Now let's get into the actual gameweek recap!! ๐
Damn it feels good to be a Gomes, 1 goal a piece for Joao and Rodrigo Gomes and Wolves kill Villa's hopes at a darkhorse title ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ Now their focuses shift to trying to stay afloat in top 4. Momentum is not in their favor.
Bournemouth (1) - Sunderland (1)
Evanilson and Mayenda get 1 a piece as the fight for top 10 continues. Every point from here on out is vital.
Burnley (3) - Brentford (4)
This game was genuinely insane, as Burnley continues to show they're going down with a fight. Tying it all up after going down 3-0, only to think they've won it at the end, only for the football gods to show no mercy to them via a Damsgaard brace. Absolutely wild ending as time was running out ๐คฏ
Liverpool (5) - West Ham (2)
Ekitike opened it the scoring early, and it didn't stop! Big Virg continues his crazy run of form, bagging another goal. Mac Allister gets another one. Slot's Mistress finally contributed, and even an own goal! Consolation goals from Soucek and Castellanos settle it. Completely unrelated but this score line kinda reminds me of the time Aston Villa beat them 7-2 lmaooooo! Good times good times. Pool throwing their hat in the ring to sneak in top 4 to close out the season and stay in CL.
Newcastle (2) - Everton (3)
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
There are two certainties in soccer, 1. 2-0 is the most dangerous lead, and 2. you're most susceptible to getting scored on after you score! And Newcastle deeeeefinitely learned #2 the hard way. Equalizing in the 32nd, they conceded again in the 34th. Equalizing AGAIN in the 82nd, THEY CONCEDED AGAIN IN THE 83RD!!! Uh Earth to Newcastle, ever heard of locking in after scoring? Clearly not. Yea, THAT'LL DO IT! Everton gets a biiiiig W thanks to Braithwaite, Beto and Barry. Futile efforts from Big Murph and Ramsey. But the real reason Everton escaped the toon with a W....
Mr. Pickford with the Save of the Season!!! Nice W to Calvary! ๐
Man City doing what's needed to get results and stay within one W of the top. All signs are pointing to a collision course at the Etihad! Nice goal from Semenyo, who looks to be a must have for FPL through rest of year.
Brighton (2) - Forest (1)
Gomez and Welbeck secure a solid result for Brighton as they build on last week's W. 2-0 since I called them forgettable, maybe that's all they needed!
Fulham (2) - Tottenham (1)
Harry Wilson and Iwobi are on FIRE!!!! Absolute emphatic win against Tottenham, who STILL HAVEN'T WON A PL GAME IN 2026!!!๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Consolation goal from Richarlison. I absolutely cannot wait to play them in CL, the relegation battle is so on as Spurs aim to make history!!
I will say, there's been some suspicious calls going against our dear Spurs for sure ๐ค
Only 4 points from relegation, 10 games to go, surely.....there's no way right??
Man U (2) - Crystal Palace (1)
Absolutely awful start to the game for Man U, after conceding in the 4th min to...
But suddenly, almost if by miracle...the football pitch turned into a beautiful swimming pool, deep end and all! When none other than the Brazilian Greg Louganis himself, former Atleti man Mattheus Cunha pulled off a dive sure to have won the Olympic goal with even the harshest judges. Just a little tap on the shoulder, as if he was asleep on the plane in the middle seat and window seat needed to get up to use the lavatory, well take a look for yourself!
Even Goldbridge had to admit it was soft. But haters gonna hate, and it's just more salt for the shakers, as Man U are ELEVEN unbeaten, with 2 in a row. Maybe there's hope yet for for the United Strand to close the season as they face Newcastle, Villa, and Bournemouth in the next 3 games. Big goals from Bruno and Sesko to claim the result. Red Devils stay Red Hot!! They just can't lose!
Corner FC ๐ง (2) - Red Card FC ๐ (1)
Absolutely vile game ๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ, I don't even know where to begin! Not one, not two, but three corner goals, with Chelsea losing all composure yet again and Arsenal doing everything in their power to avoid actually playing soccer, implementing bear hugging tactics, elbow deflections, and both teams making us have to watch Gyokeres and Delap try to outpace defenders and complete passes๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ. This game alone probably produces more salt than China, U.S., India, Germany, and Canada combined. Almost had to take a sick day today to recover
The game may actually in fact be gone. I swear teams are going to start playing additional fullback to try to keep the ball from going out for corners, defending the endlines and corner flags. And just like Tim Krul was the counter to the penalty shootout, teams are going to have to develop a specialty backup goal keeper from the Euroleague and the G-League, experts in catching corner kicks before Gabriel can can put a head to it.
I mean come on lol, make it make sense!!! Anyway allllll I continue to ask, is that Arsenal fans keep this energy when it all comes down! They stay on top for now, Chelsea fall to 6th behind Villa, Pool, Man U, City, and Arsenal. Big ol Salt Factory for now
Galaxy Brain Plays of the Week ๐๐ง
-
The Bruno VCs! With a surprise Haaland sit out, Semenyo looked to be the beneficiary, but it was the Bruno VC'ers that had the upperhand much to the dismay of many
-
Virg players stay up big
-
Harry Wilson owners...RIIIIIISE (or whatever Gavin said)
-
Saliba, Timber, or Gabriel players..SMH
-
But the biggest brain of all goes to....none other than our Rookie of the Season favorite.....
What an absolute play with the Ekitike assist brace + goal captain! 30 pts, SKYROCKETED the lad into 4th place. Not bad for a guy who just joined (maybe throw a lil something for MikeyHenk if you keep this up, huh?). Huge games from Saliba, Timber, Virg, Reece James, Semenyo, and Harry Wilson. Take a bow son! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Calvary noooooooo!!!! An absolute STINKER of a week in FPL to offset his elation of Everton clapping Newcastle. It may be time to use that free hit my man. It's been a rough 2nd half of the season for Calvary, but at 30th he could still finish dead middle at 23rd! So much to still play for!!! ๐
Don't forget, FPL League Cup games incoming after week 32 (finally the Man U boys can play for a trophy)! And of course, the Newcastle Award for whoever finishes dead middle! And that's it, quick turnaround for sure! Speaking of cups...biiiiiig Copa del Rey game incoming, with Atleti poised to surely defend a 4-0 lead!
28 gameweeks in the bag, this year is FLYING!! Keep grinding lads! ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
