is there people that play fantasy PL here. New season is about to start let’s make something.

If we can ban cigarette ads we can ban these too. I don't understand how such a highly destructive habit can be promoted so callously.

Almost every corner you go past Lusaka is always gambling, fly to win millions and all sorts of terms to bait people into gambling and most of these betting sites are banned in EU and Asia so l don’t understand how they operate here without any sort of regulations.

Has Zimbabwe Allowed Dictatorship to Win?

83-year-old Emmerson Mnangagwa has officially signed the law extending his presidency to 2030.
And the silence from Zimbabweans is deafening.
Have the people who fought so hard for liberation become too afraid to stand up for what is right?

It's time for a harsh truth: True liberation won't come from the outside.
If you want your country back, you have to be willing to stand up and fight for it.

Disgusting behavior from the Argentines post WC final.

i’m a student and l lost all my money through gambling. l have a connecting flight and l will be in Harare for approximately 1 day. Somebody tell me if they know anywhere l can stay that won’t break my wallet further.

All of a sudden lusaka is booming with clubs, what do you think the reason might be ? cause i think it’s money laundering cause most of the time these clubs aren’t even full and only get decent amount of people when there is an international artist.

hello so l just made a git hub account with my student email because my friend told me l could activate student plan and use it for free but here lam. I now have it and as someone who has never coded before or used github l don’t know what l could use it for. Ps: i’m completely new to this.

Barcelona-Catalunya is a proper all-rounder circuit — high aero (0.7), high power (0.7), high tire deg (0.7), medium overtaking difficulty (0.5). This rewards the strongest overall car packages and punishes weak links.

DRIVERS — Best Picks by Tier

Premium Tier (Must-Haves)

Driver	Price	Season Pts	Last 2 Races	Avg Last 3	Trend
Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes)	$25.0M	309	55, 62	39.0	BEST
Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari)	$23.9M	181	27, 42	23.0	GREAT

• Antonelli is the runaway #1 pick. 5 consecutive wins, averaging 39 pts over his last 3 races. At $25.0M he's cheaper than both Russell ($28.2M) and Verstappen ($28.3M) — and outscoring them by a mile. Captain lock every week.
• Hamilton is the most underrated premium. $23.9M for a driver averaging 23 pts/race over the last 3 — rock-solid consistency (stdev: 15.8, one of the lowest among premiums). He's $4.3M cheaper than Russell with 3x the recent output.

Premium Avoid

Driver	Price	Last 2 Races	Avg Last 3	Why Avoid
Russell (Mercedes)	$28.2M	0, 4	-5.3	2nd most expensive driver, scoring near zero
Norris (McLaren)	$26.2M	-17, 6	-17.0	3 DNFs this season, McLaren reliability woes
Verstappen (Red Bull)	$28.3M	-11, 26	-1.7	Fresh engine incoming (positive) but $28.3M is steep for inconsistent returns

Mid-Price Value Picks

Driver	Price	Season Pts	Avg Last 3	Consistency	Value Score
Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls)	$8.1M	77	13.0	21.2	BEST
Esteban Ocon (Haas)	$10.1M	76	6.7	7.3	GREAT
Franco Colapinto (Alpine)	$9.4M	66	8.3	9.6	GREAT
Pierre Gasly (Alpine)	$11.6M	65	9.3	16.4	OK
Isack Hadjar (Red Bull)	$11.5M	29	9.7	22.4	OK

Lawson at $8.1M is the budget king — 77 season pts (8th overall), averaging 13 pts over the last 3 races. That's Hamilton-lite production at 1/3 the price.

Ocon has the lowest consistency stdev of ANY driver on the grid (7.3) — the safest floor in fantasy. Won't boom but won't bust.

CONSTRUCTORS — Best Picks

Constructor	Price	Season Pts	Last 2 Races	Price Trend
Mercedes	$31.1M	553	70, 76	Rising +$0.3
Ferrari	$25.1M	418	29, 69	Rising +$0.3
Racing Bulls	$9.9M	169	42, 22	Rising +$0.6
Alpine	$16.1M	172	17, 46	Rising +$0.6

Mercedes + Ferrari is the premium constructor duo — 553 and 418 season pts, both on confirmed price rises.

Racing Bulls at $9.9M is a steal — 169 season pts (6th), averaging 32 pts over the last 2 races, on pace for a massive +$0.6 price rise.

Constructor Avoid

• Aston Martin ($7.5M) — scored -4 and -14 in last 2 races. Dropping -$0.6.
• Cadillac ($6.0M) — scored -13 and 2. Dropping hard.

PRICE MOVERS — Who's Rising & Falling

Confirmed Risers (already hit thresholds based on last 2 races)

Player	Price	Last 2	Threshold Met	Expected Move
Antonelli	$25.0M	55, 62	+$0.3 (needs -27, has 58.5 avg)	+$0.3
Hamilton	$23.9M	27, 42	+$0.3 (needs 17, has 34.5 avg)	+$0.3
Lawson	$8.1M	16, 23	+$0.6 (needs -9, has 19.5 avg)	+$0.6
Colapinto	$9.4M	0, 25	+$0.2 (needs 1, has 12.5 avg)	+$0.2 to +$0.6
Hadjar	$11.5M	23, 6	+$0.2 (needs 3, has 14.5 avg)	+$0.2
Mercedes	$31.1M	70, 76	+$0.3 (needs -34, has 73 avg)	+$0.3
Ferrari	$25.1M	29, 69	+$0.3 (needs -8, has 49 avg)	+$0.3
Racing Bulls	$9.9M	42, 22	+$0.6 (needs -28, has 32 avg)	+$0.6
Audi	$3.8M	21, 11	+$0.6 (needs -18, has 16 avg)	+$0.6

Confirmed Fallers

Player	Price	Last 2	Gap to Hold	Expected Move
Russell	$28.2M	0, 4	Needs 48 to avoid -$0.1	-$0.3
Norris	$26.2M	-17, 6	Needs 59 to avoid -$0.1	-$0.3
Verstappen	$28.3M	-11, 26	Needs 37 to avoid -$0.1	-$0.3
Piastri	$25.1M	19, 12	Already at -$0.1 level	-$0.1
Stroll	$4.8M	-20, 11	Needs 18 to avoid -$0.2	-$0.2
Aston Martin	$7.5M	-4, -14	Needs 32 to avoid -$0.2	-$0.6

Key insight: The big 3 premium drivers (Russell, Norris, Verstappen) are ALL falling. If you're holding any of them, Barcelona is likely your last chance to sell before the drop. Meanwhile Antonelli and Hamilton are rising — the value gap is widening fast.

NEWS THAT MATTERS

• Verstappen getting a FRESH engine for Barcelona — Red Bull confirmed the Monaco PU was the oldest of the season (planned swap). Fresh power on a power-hungry track could mean a strong weekend, but it's a lot of money ($28.3M) for uncertain returns.
• McLaren reliability concerns — Andrea Stella admitted being a Mercedes customer team is a disadvantage in 2026 for integration/reliability. Norris has 3 DNFs already. Risky at $26.2M.
• Russell under pressure — David Coulthard says Russell "must beat Antonelli in Barcelona or the title is over." He's 68 pts behind his teammate after 6 rounds. The pace gap is real.
