Please tell me you TC'd in the end!Yard of Grass wrote: ↑16 Mar 2018, 07:16 Any one considering using the triple captain on Salah this week to compensate for not putting out a full team or is that just chasing points? Have x8, although that includes Ibe and Fraser. Still have WC FH and BB so not sure where I woould squeeze it in otherwise and is a reasonable fixture for Salah.

Only an idiot would listen to me 
After listening to the pearls of wisdom flying around it did actually seem sensible to sit on my hands. And whilst hindsight blah blah blah....I still got 93pts from 7 players and FHs were squandered below me in my SL. So with all chips intact I will be picking up my half full glass holding a slender lead thinking it could have been worse.flyingkillercob wrote: ↑17 Mar 2018, 20:37Please tell me you TC'd in the end!Yard of Grass wrote: ↑16 Mar 2018, 07:16 Any one considering using the triple captain on Salah this week to compensate for not putting out a full team or is that just chasing points?

I believe Zimmerman may have talked him out of it

On a serious note what makes this forum work is throwing something like that out there to aid your decision making. Didn't come off this time but on balance was the sensible call so thanks to all you unadventurous souls out there!
They were probably the smart ones tbh, GW35 is not going to be hard for anyone to have a good team without one, window of opportunity to make that chip really work for you seems gone.
Really? A couple of weeks back I looked at my probable 35 squad vs my 34 and 37 squad and they were almost completely different, so I’m still hopeful that 35 is a better play.OldSkoolFPL wrote:They were probably the smart ones tbh, GW35 is not going to be hard for anyone to have a good team without one, window of opportunity to make that chip really work for you seems gone.
I agree. I'm still weighing up whether to FH in 35 or 37, having used by TC already, but there are three top six teams with doubles in 34 and 37 (probably) and no fixture in 35. How do you thread that needle without missing out on those teams? I'll probably FH in 35jacksosi wrote: ↑18 Mar 2018, 10:00Really?

I like the idea of FHing late, GW 38 or even 37. Can't say the same about late WC (unless you don't need to now). Using WC for a DGW seems trivial. Isn't that what the FH is for?Ruth_NZ wrote:Trouble with that, OldSkool, is that it assumes you already played TC and want to BB in GW37. Neither of those apply to me.
The '2 blocks' concept is a good way to explain that option but personally I am happy having the FH for GW35 if needed. If not, my idea for a long time has been to use it in GW38 if I can keep it that long. I think it could potentially do some serious damage that week.
