I'll be looking at having 20-25 left......which i didn't think was burning through them too fast.

Time will tell but I'm struggling to find to many valid reasons to make transfers early with the having the first amnesty so early.

Just going back to your upgrade on mendy in other thread while I'm here.

You decided to ditch Kane in that team just when before he was playing Brighton and with Huddersfield and Cardiff coming up, now I get the fact that he's not been convincing in his performances but surely you just go with him if you picked him in the overhaul.
You just said you picked mendy as he was a great enabler so you could have 3 big hitters, fair enough, but you then take out Kane for mitrovic and now talk about upgrading mendy!
Effectively then the Kane transfer has forced you into using 2 transfers.

Surely the move now is to keep mendy and bring in another premium striker if that was your original strategy, even bring back Kane!!!

If Kane gets a couple this weekend you will no doubt be making 2 more transfers to get him back in.

I don't have Kane in my best team but I will have for the Cardiff game

:lol: I usually lose interest in sky after doing the same and forgetting captains, trying to have a proper go at it this year though.

I've had a decent start in telegraph also so I'm going for the treble :x

The Kane to Mitrovic transfer was happening after the Huddersfield game anyway. I don't see the Kane transfer as forcing me into another transfer, i see it as a big opportunity to upgrade a player for 5 games when previously it would only have been for 3 games so probably wouldn't be worth it.

Last season i kept with 3 premium strikers and it was the wrong move. This season i thought with Salah as a striker it was definately a 3 premium striker game but at the moment Kane is poor, Lukaku is playing in a stifled Man U team, Aguero is currently getting 60 mins a game. So currently i dont think 3 premium strikers is the right move and there's no point me keep swapping premium strikers and throwing 13m at 2pt players.

Kane won't be back in my team until the 10th Nov, doesn't matter how many he scores this weekend. I've still got team 1 with him in though just in case this is a mistake.

In which case and probably what I was trying to get at, why put him in at the overhaul in the first place, it's cost you 2 transfers!!

Don't worry about the 'heat'. As long as you're roughly on one per week, it's all good. I wouldn't have made some of the transfers you have, but it's your team not anyone else's.

I've used three transfers in both teams, but planning on burning through a few in the coming weeks.

Because i didnt see anything better at the time. So perhaps i was blinded by the fear of not having Kane and now i'm not :lol:

547 - 38t

Decent start but tried to be 'clever' in the overhaul and take advantage of Spurs easy run of games and picked Vorm with a view to move to Alisson gw9. Serves me right, being clever not my strong point :D So basically down to 37 as have Alisson to now bring in this week.

Also picked Mendy at the overhaul having no idea he was injured so two transfers wasted.

Never had a proper go at this so not sure how to use the transfers but i do plan on using a few in October and November so i'll likely be around 30 left come the start of December.

Personally i think 30 coming into the new year is too many as strange as that sounds.

I would think 20 is more than enough

Of course it's not strange, in fact 30 is demented. It says that a transfer in January - May is worth a LOT more than a transfer in September - December. That's f*cking nuts!

30 left ar the START of Dec :wink:

Not looked beyond that, not least because the TV games have not been arranged yet :D

I suspect i’ll be 25 tops come new year. Of course injuries and suspensions will always wreck medium to long term plans anyway in reality

Misread that Simon !

Think that's a decent bench mark, as plenty of opportunities in December

Maybe or maybe not. Although for me to get far out of sync with pro rata use would be very unusual. But there's a first time for everything, maybe. :wink:

Currently on 508 points, with 36 remaining.

Fairly settled with my team for the coming two weeks but the general aim (barring any extreme injuries) would be to have 25 left by the end of the year.

I agree, surely the ones hoarding transfers now are missing out on opportunities for 20+pts gains. Then come the new year they realise they have too many they will make transfers just for the sake of it to use them up.

I'm using mine when i see a chance for good gains.
