Book Description
Praise For Taking A Hit: The Key To Success "Within the wonderful game of FPL, there are hundreds of micro decisions that must be made on a weekly basis. The difference between a top 100k finish and a top 1k finish can be one, singular transfer at the start of the season, that catalyses a series of changes resulting in FPL glory or FPL failure. As a result, if we can improve our decision-making by just 1%, it can have a remarkable impact on our season. "One can imagine, therefore, that this comprehensive, insightful exploration of one of the most important elements of the game - transfers and hits - could have the ability to catapult you up the rankings and make you the king or queen of your mini-league. To write a book, in and of itself, is an incredible achievement. However, due to the amount of work it takes, authors can be tempted to cut corners. This book? Well this book does no such thing! "From philosophical discussions of transfer strategies and management types, to real world research and surveys, to asking some of the best managers in the world for their insights, this book is without a doubt the most comprehensive discussion of transfers that you will ever read, and I truly think it will transform the way you play FPL." Ross Dowsett Author of The Mind Game YouTube (FPL Raptor) "Taking hits is one of the most topical areas of FPL and after a sneak peak, I look forward to reading more of Paul's book. We spend hours deliberating on our weekly transfers and this book should make our decision-making process just that little bit easier." Gianni Buttice Official Fantasy Premier League Show Panelist Author of Premier Fantasy League: Unlocking The Secrets To A Top 1% Finish "As someone who takes FPL (probably a little too) seriously and who likes to (over?) analyse their performance in search of scope for improvement, I tend to value objective information - especially when this is gathered from some of the very best players in the game. I'll admit that taking hits is an area of my game I have spent less time looking at than others. As I started to look at the way rank changes work in FPL, I quickly concluded that taking too many hits could potentially have a negative impact on rank so I became quite conservative in that respect, only taking a hit when absolutely necessary. However, I wonder if I could be missing an opportunity to make significant gains by using hits more proactively? Paul's book offers us the opportunity to learn and understand the strategies used by top FPL managers in relation to taking hits and, if you're anything like me, I'm sure that you will find the prospect of that intriguing and impossible to resist..." Alex Pickard (FPL Dork @DorkFpl) 2020/21: 350th "While some strategies of Fantasy Premier League are widely accepted in the FPL community, the concept of hits is divisive and can perhaps be a barrier for some fantasy veterans (myself included) to reach the upper echelons of the overall rankings in a single season. This book is a fascinating read for fantasy managers old and new, as Paul delves into the data of 2020/21 to find out when hits are beneficial and how getting it right can propel you up the leaderboard. There's plenty of great takeaways I'll be trying to implement into my own fantasy approach going forward to give myself an edge. Don't miss out!"

Submission

Author: Michel Houellebecq
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1473523613
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258

Book Description
As the 2022 French Presidential election looms, two candidates emerge as favourites: Marine Le Pen of the Front National, and the charismatic Muhammed Ben Abbes of the growing Muslim Fraternity. Forming a controversial alliance with the political left to block the Front National’s alarming ascendency, Ben Abbes sweeps to power, and overnight the country is transformed. This proves to be the death knell of French secularism, as Islamic law comes into force: women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged and, for our narrator François – misanthropic, middle-aged and alienated – life is set on a new course. Submission is a devastating satire, comic and melancholy by turns, and a profound meditation on faith and meaning in Western society.

Book Description
Welcome to the obsessive world of Fantasy Football, where managers will do anything to succeed. Every Saturday afternoon, 5.8 million people around the world settle down to see how their team will get on. But this isn't the team they support. It's THEIR team. They have spent hour after hour assessing injuries, swapping subs and tweaking formations. Because when the day is done and the scores are in, they want to be able to look in the mirror and say, 'THAT TRIPLE CAPTAIN CALL WAS AN ACT OF GENIUS!' David Wardale - writer for the UK's number one Fantasy Football site, Fantasy Football Scout - meets previous winners to discover how they beat millions to the crown. He reveals the leagues where failure involves outright humiliation and discovers just how low some managers will go to claim a psychological advantage. Along the way, he finds Saudi sheikhs, stats professors, most of Norway and a member of one of the biggest pop bands of all time, all of them united by their unflinching desire for Fantasy Football greatness.

Albion's Seed

Pages : 981

Book Description
This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Everybody tells you to live for a cause larger than yourself, but how exactly do you do it? The author of The Road to Character explores what it takes to lead a meaningful life in a self-centered world. “Deeply moving, frequently eloquent and extraordinarily incisive.”—The Washington Post Every so often, you meet people who radiate joy—who seem to know why they were put on this earth, who glow with a kind of inner light. Life, for these people, has often followed what we might think of as a two-mountain shape. They get out of school, they start a career, and they begin climbing the mountain they thought they were meant to climb. Their goals on this first mountain are the ones our culture endorses: to be a success, to make your mark, to experience personal happiness. But when they get to the top of that mountain, something happens. They look around and find the view . . . unsatisfying. They realize: This wasn’t my mountain after all. There’s another, bigger mountain out there that is actually my mountain. And so they embark on a new journey. On the second mountain, life moves from self-centered to other-centered. They want the things that are truly worth wanting, not the things other people tell them to want. They embrace a life of interdependence, not independence. They surrender to a life of commitment. In The Second Mountain, David Brooks explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. Our personal fulfillment depends on how well we choose and execute these commitments. Brooks looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity and beauty of dependence. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our commitments into one overriding purpose. In short, this book is meant to help us all lead more meaningful lives. But it’s also a provocative social commentary. We live in a society, Brooks argues, that celebrates freedom, that tells us to be true to ourselves, at the expense of surrendering to a cause, rooting ourselves in a neighborhood, binding ourselves to others by social solidarity and love. We have taken individualism to the extreme—and in the process we have torn the social fabric in a thousand different ways. The path to repair is through making deeper commitments. In The Second Mountain, Brooks shows what can happen when we put commitment-making at the center of our lives.
