Yeah - I boxed myself in, didn't plan far-enough ahead to get enough players for GW31 + GW33 - which would have been the clever move (I think).
It may not be as bad as I fear by the time we get to GW33 .... but we'll see

i think he meant to say GW32 fh.
I did wonder, and it was late, and I decided to sleep

No, I have lost all interest in FPL, including the sidegames really.Smurphy's Paw wrote: You’re planning on winning the Head to Head league again?

Any one of seven or eight could win. Even a team from a bit further back with a decent run, although you’d think one of the above would keep it together and pull through.
He did indeed

Yes, but only if Brighton beat Millwall in the FAC QF I think. If they lose, everything should fit into GW32 & 35. If they win, most likely Brighton & Cardiff get an extra game in GW36 or GW37.Smurphy's Paw wrote:Brighton have an extra game to slot in somewhere. So potentially yes.

Yeah I learnt it recently. It'll be my word of the week and then I'll forget the word exists or forget what it means and never ever use it again.

I guess no DeLorean, but a United and Chelsea defender for GW32 for a -4 would be a start. Luiz and Shaw if you can afford it but I see you have 0 itb?

GW31 - FH
GW32 - TC
GW33 - Hope for the best
GW34 - WC
GW35 - BB
GW30-31 - Take quite a few hits and hope for the best;
GW32 - Take more hits, play the TC and hope for the best again. TC is Hazard who only starts once and manages 6 points in total whilst my VTC Sterling (my original choice) manages 35 points. Claim that I got the strategy right but was just hugely unlucky with my TC decision; moan incessantly about unfair swings and calculate that I am 200 points worse off because of three simple decisions made during the season. Imply that I would be well inside the top-1k if those 50/50s had gone my way. Also imply that it's all fine and that FPL is a game I have lost interest in (even though I know that's complete BS);
GW33 - Take a few more hits because I wrecked my GW33 team taking hits in GW32; alternatively an unplanned and panic-driven FH. Have give up hoping for the best; it's the hope that kills you.
GW34 - WC because I can't be bothered thinking about it any more. Ignore all the good advice I get from Joccki and successfully utilise his bad suggestions only;
GW35 - Take some more hits because some players got injured and one was sent off in GW34; alternatively use my FH the week after a wildcard to the bemusement of most sound observers. Hope against hope that my differential DGW selections can produce a huge boost for me. They don't;
GW36 - Start looking about me for who has done well so I can make comments about FPL being "all luck"; at the same time fail to captain Salah when he gets 24 points against Huddersfield and many have used the TC because he's no longer in my team after my ill-planned differential wildcard;
GW37 - take some hits to maximise my exposure to Brighton and Cardiff's extra DGW and hope very hard for the best; the game finishes 1-1 and the only goal involvement I gain is a Duffy own-goal, meaning I manage to get a 1-point captaincy from him that week;
GW38 - Give up and do nothing. Then decide at the last moment to give it one last go and take a -12 that costs me more points but does help the Compadres win the H2H League for the 2nd season in succession. Claim that I only play FPL for the sidegames nowadays. Hope for the best for next season but don't let on, even to myself.
That's how I'm lining up for it anyway. The Nerobefehl has been issued and unlike Speer I am going to carry it through like the time-honoured strategy that it is. So pick the bones out of that, PB.
I was having a complete brain freeze as my worry was I couldn’t make any transfers before GW32 when I’ve just realised that if I play my free hit after the gw31 deadline I can then of course bring in who I want for DGW32.. plus I will know the blanks etc for the rest of the season.Oxford NZ wrote: ↑10 Mar 2019, 01:43I guess no DeLorean, but a United and Chelsea defender for GW32 for a -4 would be a start.

With just a quick look you have Jota, Rashford, Pogba doubling with a good chance of Hazard and Higuain as well so not a disaster if you get the captain right. Some will be playing TCGW32
Good luck anyway.
Which WHam?SteveieB123 wrote: ↑10 Mar 2019, 09:52 Well, the free hit has been utilised. 1 chip down, 3 to go!!
Gone with a fairly standard (I would imagine?!) template team for a 31FH team. 3 Pool, 3 Chelsea, 3 W Ham with 2 Leicester to complete the starting XI.
Bit of rubbish on the bench!!
When do you think the remaining DGWs are confirmed? Next Saturday when three Cup matches are played, and the Brighton DGWs on Sunday then? Or when?
Do the transfers soon as the week starts and take - points as they will be wiped out when you FH or WC which you only need to do when your certain.Finisher1 wrote: ↑10 Mar 2019, 14:03When do you think the remaining DGWs are confirmed?

I think it affects our decision on whether to play WC32 or FH32. And preferrably I'd like to do it immediately on Saturday to catch all the price changes.
Well, I think we can just do regular transfers on Saturday, and then later decide whether we activate FH or WC? That should mean we catch all the price changes anyway, no?
I know we can't carry our price change advantage from FH32 to following gameweeks, but even 0.1m might eventually make a difference in GW32 itself.
Yeah, that's what I suggested in that post you quoted. I think it's doable, but I won't feel very comfortable taking so many temporary "hits" anyway (even though they get wiped out when I activate FH or WC)!fantasyfaz wrote: ↑10 Mar 2019, 19:09Do the transfers soon as the week starts and take - points as they will be wiped out when you FH or WC which you only need to do when your certain.Finisher1 wrote: ↑10 Mar 2019, 14:03When do you think the remaining DGWs are confirmed?
