Here's a look at some of my prefered #UCLFantasy options ahead of MD7.

⚽️ Goalkeepers

🇧🇷 Ederson €6.0m - Part of a great defence and free of rotation which always is a worry with City players. And who knows, he might even take a penalty soon 😅

#FPLCommunity #UCL

 🇵🇱 Szczesny €5.5m - A bit cheaper than most of the other top clubs keepers and with Porto coming up twice, he should at least get one CS.

🇩🇪 Hitz €4.1m - Dortmund not in great shape and he has produced a couple of errors in the last weeks. Should start if Bürki 🚑 remains out.
⚽️ Defenders

🇩🇪 Kimmich €6.6m - Expensive, but most likely worth it. 4 assists in his last 3 games 🅰️ 🔥

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Man. City defence - Take your 🔵 pick here. Cancelo currently is the most attacking one with Stones/Dias also providing some goal threat. Rotation the usual caveat.
🇪🇸 Angelino €5.4m - The wing-back is still Leipzig's top scorer with 4 goals + 6 assists so far this season ⚽️🅰️

🇧🇷 Danilo €5.0m - The cheapest way into Juventus' backline.

🇪🇸 Hermoso €4.2m - Enabler from Atletico's defence. Playing v Chelsea who don't score too many atm.
🇫🇷 Kounde €4.1m - Another cheap pick, this time from Sevilla. Many #UCLFantasy managers already had him in their teams for the group stage.

⚽️ Midfielders

🇪🇬 Salah €11.6m - Even though Liverpool is struggling atm, he still finds a way to score in a lot of games.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Man. City mids - Same as in defence, take your 🔵 pick.
Gündogan (great form 🔥 but injury 🚑 doubt) and Sterling are their two stand outs atm.

🇫🇷 Nkunku €7.6m - If Liverpool's recent form continues, the Leipzig mid. might be a decent differential.

#FPLCommunity #UCL
🇵🇹 Oliveira €6.7m - Probably Porto's best #UCLFantasy pick who already did well in the group stage.

🇮🇹 Chiesa €7.0m - Picked up some form recently and might be the pick of the Juve midfield with Cuadrado being out injured.
🇪🇸 Suso €6.9m - Registered a couple of returns in the last few weeks and is up against a shaky looking Dortmund defence.

🇫🇷 Coman €8.5m - The pick out of the Bayern mids imo. Already did well in the group ⚽️🅰️ and plays for the clear favourites to qualify for the next round.
🇪🇸 Llorente €6.5m - In form Atletico attacker who registered 2 goals ⚽️ and 5 🅰️ assists in his last 7 starts 🔥

⚽️ Forwards

🇵🇱 Lewandowski €12.1m - 12 goals in his last 10 starts in the German league ⚽️⚽️

🇵🇹 Ronaldo €12.0m - Not much explanation needed either 😅

#UCL
🇦🇷 Messi €12.1m - Back to his goal scoring ways after Barca's slow start to the season. 🇫🇷 Griezmann for €9.9m also picked up some form.

🇲🇦 En-Nesyri €7.4m - Same as Suso above. Already scored 13 goals ⚽️ this La Liga season.

🇳🇴 Haaland €11.1m - Despite Dortmund's form 😅
🇺🇾 Suarez €9.9m - Atletico's & La Liga's leading goalscorer with 16 goals already ⚽️🔥

🇨🇴 Muriel €8.2m - Outscoring Zapata atm. as Atalanta's main source of goals. 9 goals in his last 11 appearances (in only 388 mins!).

Good luck with your choices 😀

WARRIORS-CLIPPERS REWATCH THREAD

Okay, thought I would get into the Warriors' unbelievable comeback win over the Clippers last night. Let's dig in.

Steph Curry's first 3 of the night came off an unnecessary Nicolas Batum gamble. Shouldn't have gone for the deflection.


This is a good use of Curry as an inbounder in ATOs. Leveraging his gravity to get Oubre a drive to the rim from a fake handoff, made easier by the Clippers not having anyone to help on the drive.


Really crafty pushoff by Curry on Patrick Beverley here. Forces Beverley under Looney's screen, and that's all the space Curry needs.


Hedging/trapping Curry has become the norm now, especially with the kind of roster Curry has to work with (i.e., average-to-below-average shooting).

I absolutely love this wrinkle they've put in to prevent hedging/trapping. Somewhat of a screen-the-screener/DHO action.


I've noticed Kerr likes to go with a 2-2-1 zone press with the 2nd unit every now and then. Really cuts into the shot clock and forces the opposing offense to rush. Case in point: Reggie Jackson doing god-knows-what and dribbling into nothingness. Warriors eventually force a TO.

Ahead of Boca-River tonight, a LONG READ thread on River Plate's 2010/11 season: How did a massive club and institution like Club Atlético River Plate get relegated from Argentina's top tier in June 2011?

🇦🇷 #longread (3,000 words)

This thread is based on the fantastic When We Were Kings podcast with the blessing of its creators @ErikNiva & @andreassonhakan. Because the podcast is in Swedish, I wanted to translate the story and share it in English.

Disclaimer: this is NOT a dig at River Plate. My book's title/front cover overwhelmingly suggest that it's exclusively about Boca Juniors - that's not the case. I'm 100% neutral when it comes to Argentinian fútbol. This thread is not written to antagonise River fans!

June 2008. River Plate win the Clausura 2007/08 title (a 19-game half season) with Diego Cholo Simeone as manager. It's their 35th league title! River's attacking players: Radamel Falcao, Alexis Sánchez, Ariel Ortega, Sebastián Abreu, Diego Buonanotte, amongst others.


10/08/2008: The story of River Plate’s relegation in June 2011 starts on 10th August 2008! River Plate draw 1-1 away to Colón de Santa Fe on the opening day of the Apertura 2008/09 - it would be a bad campaign:
P19: W2/D8/L9. Cholo Simeone resigns after 1 win in first 14 games

The Review: GW 18 - A thread

Hi everyone, welcome to the latest edition of “The Review” where I look at Bench Boost, Triple Captaincy and the upcoming double GW 19 in detail:

#FPL #FPLCommunity @OfficialFPL

(Data taken from @FFScout and @FFH_HQ with consent)

Before I start, I'd like to introduce you to this game called Fantasy5. It’s free to enter, with a £10k weekly prize. All you have to do is to pick 5 players that you think will beat their Fantasy points target. Link

At this point, I’d also like to mention that I post about FPL on my Instagram too, so if you have an Instagram account, follow up here!

Q: Who is the best captaincy option this week and why?

I jump straight away to what is the toughest question of the week. I first try and work out which one of the Liverpool midfielders to own:

(read below)

Salah (20/21) vs Mane (20/21)

Mins per shot inside the box: 33.73 vs 34.15
Mins per big chance: 96.4 vs 111
Mins per big chance created: 224.8 vs 333
Mins per chance created: 49.9 vs 57.9

Even though Mane’s numbers in comparison to his numbers in the yesteryears have...

👨‍💻 Last resume I sent to a startup one year ago, sharing with you to get ideas:

- Forget what you don't have, make your strength bold
- Pick one work experience and explain what you did in detail w/ bullet points
- Write it towards the role you apply
- Give social proof

/thread


"But I got no work experience..."

Make a open source lib, make a small side project for yourself, do freelance work, ask friends to work with them, no friends? Find friends on Github, and Twitter.

Bonus points:

- Show you care about the company: I used the company's brand font and gradient for in the resume for my name and "Thank You" note.
- Don't list 15 things and libraries you worked with, pick the most related ones to the role you're applying.
-🙅‍♂️"copy cover letter"

"I got no firends, no work"

One practical way is to reach out to conferences and offer to make their website for free. But make sure to do it good. You'll get:

- a project for portfolio
- new friends
- work experience
- learnt new stuff
- new thing for Twitter bio

If you don't even have the skills yet, why not try your chance for @LambdaSchool? No? @freeCodeCamp. Still not? Pick something from here and learn https://t.co/7NPS1zbLTi
You'll feel very overwhelmed, no escape, just acknowledge it and keep pushing.

A lot of bootstrappers think they have a marketing problem:

"I need to get better at marketing."

But, it's more likely that you have a product problem:

"Do customers really want this? Do they care enough about this to switch to a new solution?"

☝️ this is why most of my book, @marketingdevs, is about:

1. Choosing the right market
2. Building something they want

"If your product is remarkable, getting noticed is a lot easier." – @peldi


I was reminded of this concept again this morning while reading @pjrvs' book (Company of One):

"Sales increase when you honestly evaluate what someone needs and then teach them the value of what you're selling."


To succeed, your product has to offer an outcome that is highly desirable to a large group of customers.

The number of sales your product receives is a multiple of these two variables:

1. How big is the target market?
2. How desirable is the outcome you're offering them?

Oleg Karpov pisze, że gdyby Siergiej Sirotkin zdobył w pierwszej części sezonu więcej punktów od Strolla, to jego kontrakt z automatu zostałby przedłużony na kolejny sezon. Tak się nie stało i Williams ma możliwość szukania innych opcji i to właśnie robi. #F1pl

Czego w artykule brakuje, to informacji, że SMP prawdopodobnie przekazało Williamsowi część środków na sfinansowanie sezonu 2019. W przypadku zakończenia współpracy ekipa z Grove będzie musiała zwrócić te środki. #F1pl

To tłumaczy wysokie kwoty jakich Williams ma oczekiwać za fotel od nowego kierowcy. Jest pewnie próg opłacalności i dopóki nie zostanie osiągnięty, to zmiana z finansowego punktu widzenia nie będzie się zwyczajnie opłacała. #F1pl

Tyle można znaleźć w oświadczeniach prasowych... 😂😂😂

So, I want to talk about how sexual harassment and fair pay are linked at Google (and beyond), because I think that's an angle that isn't being highlighted enough in the coverage of these walk-outs. I'm going to frame it largely around my personal experience there. Thread.

When I was sexually harassed by the director of the area I was working in, I was afraid to report it because I was worried that "getting him in trouble" would result in the subtle retaliation of missed leadership opportunities.

I wanted to continue working on the team I was on, because I'd gained a lot of very deep knowledge and expertise in that area, as well as reputation and camaraderie with the other folks working in that area. I didn't want to make the situation more "difficult."

To get promoted at Google, several need to happen: 1. you need opportunities for ownership and leadership above your current level (basically, opportunities to show you're working at the next level you're trying to get promoted to). The work you're "assigned" has a big impact.

2. You need glowing reviews from peers, *at or particularly above the level you're hoping to get promoted to.* Basically, you need people a lot more senior than you to say you're doing awesome work.
