I've got 22 left, but am now only looking to chase standout 3-1's. Not interested in the cup early rounds as they rarely bare fruit. And I have enough of the big boys to ensure coverage in the later rounds. After 20 years of tortoising.. I'm happy to be using one a week where extra fixtures can be sought.
Regarding mysteryshopper's query, I imagine that you are fairly typical regarding transfers remaining. Certainly I'm in exactly the same ballpark on average although individual teams (14 total) range from 18 to 28. As regards the Cup, I also agree with you and disagree with mysteryshopper. These days getting a TFF boost from planning for the Cup would be down to luck more than to foresight. Until the last few years the Cup was an important element of TFF to plan for, but this year I'm not even including the Cup games on my fixture chart as they can be a misleading diversion with even mid table teams with no real relegation threat rotating madly. That's not to say that I won't make the odd opportunistic transfer after the Starting XIs are announced.
P.S. Anyone with over 30 transfers remaining has probably already handicapped themselves to some extent as the number of point grabbing opportunities left which are as good as some past opportunities is unlikely to reach 30-x where x is future essential transfers arising from injuries and other must do reasons.
