Ola Hovde, the number 1️⃣ in the world (Thread)

With half the season completed, I started to look at the number 1 in the world and how he has played

Ola Hovde has been number 1 ever since GW10 this season but what has he done to get there? What can we learn from it?

Some things I noticed while looking at his gameweek history: 👀

🔘 Was 88th in the world after 126 points in GW2 after heroics from Kane ©️, Son, DCL and Rodriguez

🔘 Played his wildcard in GW10 and has been number 1 ever since

🔘 Taken 2 hits all season (GW9 + GW19)

📖 Summary:

What can we now see and learn from looking at all of this information?

Obviously Ola has got so many decisions and transfers right this season

Having players like Kane, Son, DCL, Saiss, Justin etc in his starting team evidently gave him a massive boost...
but how he has played since is what makes me really impressed especially his wildcard that was played at the perfect time in GW10 when that fixture swing for Spurs and Man City started.

Getting rid of players like Kane, Son, an injured Digne, Ziyech, Watkins etc and going...
with KDB, getting Salah back from his injury and Dias + Cancelo on double Man City defense is a major reason why he currently has a 24-point lead.

But obviously everything hasn't gone right for him. Benching Justin and Soucek on multiple occasions has made him lose a lot of...
points just like transferring in Zaha in GW3 after he had just scored 23 points and then only managing to get 3 points from him after getting rid ahead of GW5 when he then continued to score 22 points the following 2 gameweeks.

But overall it's incredible how excellent Ola's...
season has been. He has gone safe with captaincy and captained the obvious choice most of the time, he has been calm and taken 2 hits and had great timing with the use of his chips.

His previous ranks shows that he has never been nowhere near close to the top in FPL before...
and it's a very long season left but he has definitely put himself in a great position with a 24-point lead to win the entire thing!
Hopefully you have maybe learned something from this thread about how the number 1 in the world so far has played this year...

Could may be some parts that you and I can both learn from and take into 2nd half of the season 😁👊

Humans inherently like the act of solidarity. We are social beings. We like to huddle up and be together.
They used this against us.
They convinced us that it was an act of solidarity to flatten the curve, to wear a mask for others, to take the vaccines for others,


and to reach #covidzero for others. They convinced us that this was for the greater good of society.
In reality, this couldn't be further away from the truth. They have divided us and broken the core structure of our society. They have dehumanized us with their masks.

They set us against each other into clans on opposite sides of a spectrum. They have turned us into aggressive beings fighting for our survival. Some of us fear harm from the virus, others fear harm from the vaccine, and yet others fear harm from the attack on our civilization.

We are all on a flight or fight mode. We are all operating under the influence of fear. We must collect ourselves and reflect on what has happened over the last year.
How is this for the greater good of society?

They used a tactical warfare strategy against us.
'Divide and conquer'.
We fell for it.
Now we must become aware of it and fight back.
We must reunite. We must find true solidarity to save our world. To free ourselves. To regain our autonomy.
I’ve been frustrated by the tweets I’ve seen of this as a Canadian. Because the facts are being misrepresented.

We’re not under some sort of major persecution. That’s not what this is. A thread. 1/8


This church was fined for breaking health orders in Dec. They continued to break them. So the pastor was arrested and released on conditions of... you guessed it, not breaking health orders. And then they broke the health orders. 2/8

So then he was arrested and told he couldn’t hold church services in person if he was to be released. He refused. He’s still in custody.

Here is my frustration as a Christian in Canada:

1. They were able to gather, with some conditions. They didn’t like those. 3/8

2. He is not actually unable to preach. He is just unable to hold church services because they broke the conditions given by the public health office in Alberta. He says he can’t in good conscience do that, so they are keeping him in jail (because he will break the law). 4/8

3. This is the 1st article of The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: “guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.” 5/8

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
