A small red arrow for Kneejerk United this week, bringing to an end our streak of greens. Fortunately, it was only a small fall in the rankings and the team remains in a strong position as we head into the final double gameweek of the season.

João Pedro was our star man after getting a goal and two bonus points, while we also benefited from a trio of assists in midfield from Bruno and new signings: Cherki, and Gibbs-White.

Haaland also rewarded our faith in his captaincy with a goal.

Frustratingly, our top scorer for the week (James Hill) sits on the bench. Classic FPL.

This all contributed to a total overall score of 55 points and (after the lofty heights we reached last week) a humbling GW Rank of 4,907,027.

-----------------------

Total points: 2,062

Overall rank: 373,038 🔴 🔽

---------------------

Despite the overall red arrow, Kneejerk United continued to make some small progress to close the gap to fourth place in the Community Teams league.

No change at the top of the Kneejerk League with But I Won on xG still holding first place despite just falling out of the top 100 in the world.

Coming off the back of our successful Bench Boost and Free Hit, it's now time to suggest transfers for GW35. We currently have five free transfers and £0.2m in the bank. Let's aim to finish the season on a high.     

The existing team is in the picture above. At the time of writing, we have no flags in the team.     

Suggestions for changes should be made in a comment below, making sure they are clear and affordable. Please upvote any suggestions you agree with and the highest upvoted suggestion will be implemented.    

As a reminder, please **do not downvote** and engage constructively with suggestions, no matter how wild.

Another great gameweek for Kneejerk United after making use of our Free Hit chip. A fifth green arrow in a row takes us up another 220k places in the overall rankings.

Three of the team gave us double digit returns (Gibbs-White, Raya, and Bowen), while Dewsbury-Hall and Bruno each got attacking returns.

Despite some concerns raised prior to the GW deadline about triple Arsenal defence, the community held its nerve and was rewarded for its courage with clean sheet points. And Pedro Porro proved a worthy punt registering a clean sheet and def con points.

Indeed, of our starting XI, only Salah and Thiago failed to register a return.

This all contributed to a total overall score of 80 points and a phenomenal GW Rank of 24,059.

-----------------------

Total points: 2,007

Overall rank: 359,659 🟢⬆️

---------------------

Kneejerk United continued to make progress and close the gap in the Community Teams league, but retains fifth place (hopefully only for now).

No change at the top of the Kneejerk League with But I Won on xG still holding first place despite taking a slight dip in the overall rankings to 79 in the world.

I own a leasehold terraced house with a 400 year lease and a peppercorn rent (£3 per year) and no other charges. The existing freehold/lease covers four houses all in a row with the same common accessway to the back gardens. I'm interested in buying the freehold for my house to hopefully reduce future administrative issues (eg solicitors charging a leasehold fee everytime I remortgage, landlord permissions to make alterations etc) and hopefully make it a more attractive house to buy if I ever want to move in the future.

I contacted the freeholder and they're happy to sell my portion of the freehold and I'm happy the price is reasonable. So far, so good. However, they've also said that as the property has a common accessway with rooms above it (one owned by me, another my neighbour) they won't sell unless I appoint a solicitor to cater for these issues. They also said:

 If our understanding is correct then if we sell the Freehold, this will create a flying Freehold which will affect the resell ability and mortgage ability of the property. [emphasis added]

The common accessway is to allow neighbours on both sides to access their premises via back doors to take bins out etc. (fairly standard for terraces). I have no issues with maintaining that access and the freehold catering for this. But I am concerned by the comments that it will affect ability to resell and remortgage. Is this something I need to worry about?

As above, the lease effectively costs nothing, but I do have to pay extra solicitor fees on remortgaging due to it being a leasehold and want administrative simplicity. Will buying the freehold create more problems that don't actually save me anything?

A fantastic gameweek for Kneejerk United after utilising our Bench Boost chip, with a huge green arrow moving us up nearly half a million places in the overall rankings! Let's keep that momentum going as we use our Free Hit chip this week - click here to get involved!       

12 out of our 15 players managed to get returns with only Palmer, João Pedro, and Gabriel registering blanks/zero points.    

Double Brighton defence paid off for the second week running, with a combined 20 points. And Pascal Groß was the hero of the Kneejerk team, registering attacking returns in both games and five bonus points.   

Other worthy mentions, Tavernier, O'Reilly, and Calvert Lewin all scored goals, and double Leeds defence got us 18 points as well. Captain Haaland didn't disappoint with two goals scored.    

This all contributed to a total overall score of 128 points and a GW Rank of 115,292.    

-----------------------

Total points: 1,927    

Overall rank: 579,255 🟢⬆️        

---------------------   

🚨 🚨 Kneejerk United is no longer last in the Community Teams league! 🚨 🚨. Our successful bench boost has pulled us up to fifth place - a minor miracle considering how long we've been down at the bottom!      

No change at the top of the Kneejerk League with But I Won on xG holding first place and moving up to 47 in the world after using their bench boost to get 113 points.

It's day five of building our Free Hit team! Yesterday the community chose to add Thiago, Gibbs-White, and Mukiele to complete the first draft of the team sheet.     

Today we're asking you to make suggestions for any final changes to the team. We have £0.4m remaining budget in the bank and unlimited changes. We already have three Arsenal players, and two from Sunderland, Spurs, Everton, and Liverpool. We also have the following flags in the team at the time of writing:

* Beto - Head injury - 75% chance of playing    

Please post your suggestions below, making them as clear as possible. If there are clearly preferred upvoted suggestions, these will be implemented. If necessary, we may conduct final polls this afternoon/evening (UK/European time).    

As a reminder, please do not downvote and engage constructively with other suggestions, no matter how wild.      

Finally, remember the following teams will not be playing in GW34: Bournemouth, Man City, Brighton, Leeds, Burnley, and Chelsea.
