I will be pleased when this preseason is done if I’m honest. Every day there are more announcements of new players resulting in us having to go back to the drawing board. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a super exciting time but it’s also complicated all the same. I hope this shorter article helps withContinue reading “FPL Mariner musing’s: Forwards”

It simply stopped being enjoyable. Life was tough enough and Twitter was no longer what I had envisioned it to beContinue reading “Content Creation – My Journey!”
