Final Position,Team Value and No of Transfers for the season.

Think after a seasons toil it's worthwhile reflecting on your performance,looks like I'm going to finish around 110 k, with a current Team Value of 108m and 58 transfers.
Am happy enough with final standing as don't spend an excessive amount of time on FF,lost out on some money today though,pipped at the post in a few money bets.
Biggest cost to me was taking too many hits that didnt work out in long run,will make less transfers next season if possible.Found this forum very helpful anytime I looked in during the season,so have a good summer off everyone and see you all in August:)

I'd say that's why they have the same finish position, probably no 2nd tie breaker after transfers.

Would team value come into it if we were actually in a competitive league together?

I just went to my transfer history and counted my transfers manually. Had 19 in gw4 which I presume was the wildcard. Don't remember taking a 72 point hit.

Sounds like an error

Your Best Transfer(s): Di maria to sanchez when di maria was in form and sanchez had yet to take off

Your Worst Transfer(s): wildcarding for gw 3 and taking out costa

Highlight of the Season: signing walcott yesterday and him being key for winning me a grand

Lowlight of the Season: not signing ings ahead of stoke away when he scored 2 goals despite bigging him up on here. Nearly broke my foot kicking a chair when he scored 2 goals in the first 15 mins.

What Have You Learned from this Season: Try and do transfers every 2nd week. Bank a transfer and then make 2.

Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: Try and make the top 1k. Ive finished top 11k the last 4 years with 2 top 2k finishes so top 1k is the goal. Id also like to be able to just get the results at 5 o clock on a sat instead of checking my phone every 2 mins.

Your Best Transfer(s):
Getting in Walters the week of his hat-trick was the biggest single week one, he did very little for the few weeks after that mind. Silva was probably the best differential for my private league over the past 10 weeks or so, I reckon his returns almost won it for me single-handedly and kick started a nice finishing run where i saw green arrows for 13 of the subsequent 16 gameweeks.

I'll also always have a lot of time for Charlie Austin now too, great little player.

Your Worst Transfer(s):
Many of these, Getting in both Gibson and Naughton only to have them both ruled out for the rest of the season that week was an annoying one.
Falcao and Jovetic was a terrible punts early one, I'd consider both Pelle and Tadic to be pure failures for me too but it served me right for getting them in a bandwagony way after the Sunderland rout.

If i had to choose one I'd probably go for Falcao due to his price and potential.

(edit: taking sanchez out accidently and spending 4 points to immediately get him back in again was also a pretty bad transfer!)

Highlight of the Season:
Walters' hat-trick was nice, finishing in the top 10k after being very, very far away from it at the midpoint of the season was a nice plus.


Lowlight of the Season:
First wildcard was a mess, I'd hoped to get some value in my team but at that stage none of the sites had remotely accurate predictions. I wound up keeping numerous players who i had no intention of keeping purely out of wanting to benefit from their potential rises the subsequent week. I plumetted the subsequent weeks until i hit the low of around the 500k mark, it took a while to get a good run going where i felt the balance was right in the team.


What Have You Learned from this Season:
Sometimes you'll pick the wrong player for a position in the right team (ivan vs terry, bruce vs mcshane etc.) It happens and you just have to get over it and be aware that you picked the right team.

Goalkeeping rotation is tricky, getting it right is definitely worth more than having just the one good keeper but it's f**king frustrating when you get it wrong and perhaps not worth the stress! My heaton-panti combo really worked out for the past few weeks though.


Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016:
Top 10k again, it should always be my minimum expectation I feel even though the game has gotten a lot more competitive I feel.Maybe enter a couple more pay leagues to make the stress worth it.
After the high of getting to the 1k mark last year it was always going to be hard to do better. Maybe holding off such an early wildcard would be smart, waiting for the second two week break instead of the first would be a start!

Final Overall Ranking: 9152

Final Team Value (Value + Money In The Bank): £107.5m (£106.4m + £1.1m)

Total Transfers: 44 (36 pts hit: 5x4 + 2x8)

Your Best Transfer(s): Silva & Terry before Christmas ; Cazorla during Jan WC and for my only great (GW23) captain call of the season. Also Fabregas early and switching to Hazard at the right time. I also managed pretty well my GKs this year: I limited the wasted pts on the bench and my overall approach and patience got rewarded.

Your Worst Transfer(s): The fantastic 4: Baines, Zab, Jones, Bertrand each successively and respectively for their crapest FPL period in their entire life.
To a lesser extent, Ramsey for DGW37 and his GW38 cameo could have ruined my end of season push of 7 green arrows in a row and denied me a hardly acquired 4 digits finish. Fortunately he "only" could have...

Highlight of the Season: To make the top10k after such a tough tough season where I never seemed to make the right choices at the right time (bar my final push).

Lowlight of the Season: Ignoring DGW31 & overall my consistent captain failures (though Agüero 4 times out of the last 6 GWs - the other 2 being the most popular DGW choice - salvaged it all by himself).

What Have You Learned from this Season: There's no right or wrong strategies, at times playing it safe will work, at other times taking hits e.g. to rearrange your team will pay too. But always keep a cool head and never forget this is a marathon not a sprint.
My season could actually be a pedagogical tutorial for a rookie : there's the overall achievement of fighting it out till the end and succeeding to reach the objective but there's also several examples of what not to do .

Aims and Expectations for 2015/2016: 4th finish in a row in top 20k. 2nd in a row in top 10k. Next year top 1k will be my start of season aim with a secondary top 5k target.
