Hits?
When asked about hits it’s more often than not seen as a negative,
In most cases it’s advised to roll or just bench said players who you want rid of.
Now I’m not advising hits Willy nilly but sometimes you just gottta gamble and go for it,
If your obsessed with OR then yea maybe it’ll burn you sometimes, but personally I think if your focussed and sensible then they can work.
My example -8 hit last week.
Decided I needed some more attacking options and targeted Grealish.
TAA was burning a hole in my pocket so he had to go,
Whilst at it Saiss was looking vulnerable gametime wise so he was shown the door.
Wilson seemed good value after his brace so instead of Brewster warming my bench in he came.
Finally Lamptey & Kilman were perfect for my remaining budget..
TAA (2pts) > Lamptey (6pts)
Saiss (0pts) > Kilman (1pt Benched)
Daccoure (1pt) > Grealish (6pts)
Brewster (2pts) > Wilson (2pts)
Finished on 86pts (78 after hits)
Damned good show, Bigpopz.
Thx Kralin
How’d you finish?
Not sure your team is linked,?
unless your a Liverpool fan whose team name is
“after the rain” :popcorn:
After the Rain is my side, Bigpopz. All linked correctly. Named after a splendid Terje Rypdal album. Unlike you I rolled the transfer. I think I got the (mean) average score this week.
And as ever, my side would like to consider itself full of urgency and momentous things but it is continually haunted by the perpetual triviality of everyday life.
Things are a bit auto-pilot at the moment, frankly, in contrast to your thrust and dynamism. Your bucaneering ways make me seem pedestrian. I try to make what I see are logical moves (or no moves) each week. I even took a hit a few weeks ago. I still fairly guilty about that. Shamed, even. Slightly unclean.
My best season finish I made somewhere between 60 and 70 trfrs….but back then we were all young and foolish lol….nowadays (what an old fashioned word that is, nowadays) each -4 costs many thousands of places, such is the standard….I still err on the side of taking a hit, but am far more cautious and it is serving me better and is more enjoyable…
On the hindsight, what if TAA had an assist and 3 bps?
That’s refreshing to know considering I might be looking at a -8 this week
Are you accounting for the scenario where you didnt take hits and played your bench players instead?
Depends but I’m expecting TAA and Wilson to be out for more than one GW and Foden seems to have fallen down the pecking order. I can maybe cover one with bench player
I dont get it ? From my understanding you are down on the deal and now have an injured player to move on ?
Bellerin :mosking:
What is it with people putting Bellerin in there team’s?
I thought he was a decent enough option this week
Thinking of taking a hit
Chilwell > Bellerin :popcorn:
Sarcasm right ha, Arsenal won’t be keeping any clean sheets anytime soon
Foden + Podence out for Grealish and J.Rod for a -4?
Hello Constantine – how are you? I realized that I didn’t reply to one of your messages the other day. I’m sorry about that, as I read it perhaps 8-10 hours later (you’re in the southern hemisphere – I know what it’s like communicating between the 2, don’t worry!), and I didn’t think you would read it. Anyway, that’s about it for the moment! What are your trade plans for the next GW (in 2 weeks’ time now)?
I stupidly replaced Bruno Fernandes with Son a couple of weeks back, and now have to bring back Bruno (probably with a -4 hit I guess), but am going to wait to do it – to see how the IB injuries treat my team. (Plan is to go from Robbo > Cancelo + Son > Bruno, but may well replace DCL if he suffers any injuries with England (I hope not, but you know how things go!).
Bye for now – hope you are well
AJW
Oh how stupid of me Constantine – India is in the Northern Hemisphere – you can never count on Australians when it comes to geography (except perhaps Australian geographers! 😉 ). Pardon my ignorance (just hope this doesn’t spill over to FPL as well!)
Bye for now!
Hello AJW. How are you sir? Yupp. India is in Northern hemisphere.
I also remember an instance where I had commented on your thread. But, don’t remember exactly when. Thanks a lot for your remembrance. I have a friend living in Australia and the time difference is a big hurdle communicating. I am not sure how and when do you watch late night matches(UK time, that’s like 1:30 am in India) at your place. Five in the morning is a much worse time I believe.
I have already done Podence+Foden to Ziyech+Grealish for a hit. Couldn’t wait as budget was very tight. Even 0.1m here and there could’ve made a difference. Hope everything comes out to be good after the IB. Cheers
He’s in France isn’t he?!
So glad you all pay so much attention to each other :rofl:
Initt. Australia is ahead mate..Or something wrong here?
Doesn’t matter how Australian he is if he’s in France :rofl:
Oops. hahaha. Now I get it..
Hey guys, yes I’m Australian, but I live in France (in the French outback, hahaha!). It’s just difficult for me to communicate with anyone at the right time, as I’m either ahead or behind timewise!
Glad to hear from you! I’m glad too that Innit has such a good memory! What was Don Bradman’s average test score Innit?
99.99?
99.96
Bradman’s average stands at 99.94 after a very inauspicious last innings. GL to you all wherever you may be! Have a nice IB!
Probably makes sense. Need to wait really. I’d prob prefer Ziyech to Rodriguez but cash might not stretch that far
Smash. Got Ziyech. had the exact money..
Yes
Monday mornings price changes. . Risers,
Jota (6.5) Chilwell (6.0) Vestergaard (4.7)
Fallers,
Jiménez (8.4) Snodgrass (5.7) Mitrović (5.7) Hudson-Odoi (5.7) Diangana (5.4) Saïss (5.2) Ramsdale (4.8) Matic (4.8) Rose (4.7) Bogle (4.3)
Thanks a mill Padster
Thanks Padster – looks like you are our Lakhsa specialist as well as the price man?
Have a good IB mate!
Close to giving up this season. 3.8million in the world, absolutely appalling and just lose ground every week no matter what I do. Team below.
Ryan – Martinez
lamptey – Kilman – Chillwell – Mitchell – Justin
Sterling – Salah – Diagana – Jrod – Son
Werner – Davis – DCL
Yeah it sucks. I’ve kind of been there myself. However it will turn. There are a few fixture turns now which looking at your team should help. Just got to keep going and don’t panic with lots of hits
Anon
Don’t give up
You’ve got a good team,
Quick tip,
Start with Salah (c) (most games )
Having 2 playing gk is a headache, just pick one and stick with him.
You’ve got way too much cash ITB, spend it.
I’d lose Diangana & JRod for Grealish and Zyech.
Keep going
Forget about rank
Have fun :good:
Keep the faith, you have a good foundation here that you can build on.
You need to upgrade Davis with all that cash.
That’s his rank not cash in the bank
