How many points hits have you taken?
Just curious to know how many points hits other managers have taken this season?
I've taken 36 (9 transfers) which I feel is a bit too many.

Re: How many points hits have you taken?
12 points for me. I took way too many hits in the past so I've focused quite a lot on keeping them low this season

Re: How many points hits have you taken?
4 hits, or 16 points, probably 2 more hits than I should have, but none were particularly wild ones.

3 (12 points) here, and one of them was bad/unnecessary (not just in hindsight - it was a rushed decision shortly before the deadline and I had already decided before kick-off that it was bad).

A quite shocking 7 hits at a cost of 28pts. Didn't think it was that many!

I might bring you some comfort here (a trouble shared is a trouble halved )barney0288 wrote:This is clearly an area I need to work on...
starting as a clueless newbie, I did 39 total transfers (not counting WC) so far, for 17 hits! (-68p)
I began on the get go in GW2 taking -8p (to bring in Siggy, Berahino and... Chester )
Then I limited myself to -4p at a time, except...
- -12p for GW12 to bring in Costa AND Aguero
-8p for GW16, to get rid of the injured Aguero and other red flags
not counting GW1 and the 2 WC, I only had 9 GW without hits, and just two without making a Transfer
This is DEFINITELY and area I must work on too!
breaking it down:
- 7 hits from GW2 to 11 (with WC GW8 inbetween)
the Triple in GW12
6 hits From GW15 to 19
only 1 from GW20 to 25 (including of course the Jan WC)
___
and anyway, I let http://anewpla.net/fpl/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; do the count for me, and it says:
- Total Immediate Points Gained from Transfers : 144
but still... I come up ahead despite all those hit points spent!

Re: How many points hits have you taken?
And yet you're still having a fantastic season, likely better than many others who have perhaps been more reluctant to take points hits. If anything, I think this proves that people overstate the damaging effect of hit-taking. Everyone's team is different. If you feel that a points hit is right for you at a certain time, even if you might not have planned it, you should always take the hit.Aar0n_28 wrote:A quite shocking 7 hits at a cost of 28pts.

Looking at my own record this season, I found something very interesting: 24 points (6 hits) taken in total. All 6 hits in the first 16 GWs. I achieved one of my highest ranks directly after my last hit: 1,878. In the 9 GWs since then, I have taken no hits, and plummeted to a ranking of 10,245. Coincidence? Perhaps. But perhaps it's not, and I should have taken more hits. Perhaps I have let my team stagnate too much and need to make more frequent changes to it.
It's certainly given me some food for thought.

28, some needed, others not, had a period where I had no choice and it escalated from there but have been in hit rehab and am over it now.

I agree that Aaron's having a good season, and looks to have made some good decisions.Pirlo's Beard wrote:And yet you're still having a fantastic season, likely better than many others who have perhaps been more reluctant to take points hits.

In terms of the amount of hits not costing him, I feel this is more down to the fact that taking 7 hits, rather than say 3, has a much smaller effect than the randomness of the results in matches. If those extra four hits were of no benefit whatsoever they would have only cost 16 points, and If someone was 16 points behind you or indeed you were 16 points behind them, you'd hardly claim there was a large difference in how well you were doing that season.
I definitely agree with most of what else that was said, namely that hits are dependant on circumstance.

Re: How many points hits have you taken?
it's not the total BB, it's their "concentration"
In your GW History page http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/758/history/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (taken from your FPL button which you made public, I'll remove this link should you ask me so)
you have to look in the TC column (Transfers Cost)
where you see there a Cost different from 0, that's the points you paid for extra Transfers, then that GW you've taken a Hit
In your case, you've taken -4p Hits in GW 5 6 8 11 12 16

Re: How many points hits have you taken?
9 hits (36 points).
Feels like fewer than in previous years, so I was a little surprised when I went back and checked. On reflection, I took a few early to save my wildcard, and in almost all weeks I took hits I still improved my ranking, so I am OK with it.
The fact is, I have been more considered in deciding when to take points hits, and I am sure I have benefited as a result.

Re: How many points hits have you taken?
I've taken 3, but I am willing to be a bit looser now I've used both wildcards. If my team needs fixing, I will take the hits and fix it.
