GW31 - Whats ur hit?

Green&Red

Seems like a lot of people starting the week on -8/-12, its a good bit to make back, althought I heard on the FFS podcast last week one of the top guys took a 24 point hit at the start of the season. I do think this is different, everyone will have 10 DGWers, everyone will have Suarez as captain, it could all be very samey-samey

OneColdHand

Currently none. But will definitely be -4, possibly -8.

keano_afc

-4.

Silva and Zabaleta in for Cahill and Lallana.

Lemlin

-12. I voted -8 incorrectly.

Ivan out for Bardsley
Vidic out for Chester
Lallana out for Gerrard
Noone out for Yaya

FHFC

-8

Lallana to Gerrard
RVP to Sturridge
Ollson to Baines.....yet to be confirmed but definitely happening.

jimmii

0 hits the joy of keeping the WC! Not sure whether to go with 11 DGW or go with 10+Hazard.

CSF

Will be going with 8.

alchemist33

It will be 8. Mata, Lallana and Bassong to Yaya, Gerrard and Zabaleta.

roryc

Currently at 8 but will likely be 12 unless I hear confirmation Colback will be playing (which I'm unlikely to get)

Who_8_Paul?

-12 leaves me with 10 double gameweekers:

Speroni
Baines Coleman Mertesacker
Yaya Silva Gerrard Nolan
Suarez Sturridge Lukaku

Very similar to a lot of GW31 teams probably; Could do Speroni to Adrian or Mannone for another -4 but Speroni has a double in 3 weeks himself so will leave as is; priority after this week is getting a 3rd Man City player given their numerical game advantage - hopefully Aguero is back soon, my opponent won't be able to afford him without dropping Suarez or tearing up his team so hoping a front 3 of SAS (Aguero in middle) can do the business over the last 8 games

tom_k

Ince and Lallana out for Yaya and Nolan so far. Thats a -4 but I've only 7 DGWers so I'll almost certainly be going to a total of -8 or -12.

Currently considering Chester, Zabaleta and possibly Mannone. Had considered Gerrard but would mean benching Hazard which I'm just not willing to do.

All transfers I make between now and tomorrow will be defenders/GK.

Rikand

-12 and 10 DGW players

That looks like a team that could do some serious f**kin damage.

I would love if Mata outscored Gerrard. In saying that, one of the most important games for me is surprisingly the first one, Chelsea v Arsenal. My rival will be playing a Chelsea defender and Mertesacker, so I need both teams to score in this one.

No points hit :cool:, Ince to AJ my FT.

People need to be more specific when saying 'AJ'! Could be Januzaj or Johnson!

Gaillimh1976

No hit (so far!!!)

10 DGW plus Hazard, if Colback plays

If not Lallana is first sub, so might just leave it at that

Johnson. Has Adnan been relevant in 2014? :pac:

NabyLadistheman

No hits here either. Did Lallana to Yaya. Have 9 DGW'ers so far along with Terry & Hazard. Only other change I am considering is Smalling (currently benched) ---> City defender. If I do take a hit it will involve leaving Terry on the bench which I don't want to do

Also my direct opponents will have to take hits to get 9 DGW'ers so it could be a nice head-start for me

Menas

I took a 4 point hit to get to 10 double weekers.
Azpi=> Zab
Ollsen=>Chester

Team will be:
Mannone
Coleman, Kos, Zab, Chester
YaYa, Hazard, Nolan, Sterling
Sturidge, Suarez.

I will be really pissed off if this is a low scoring week and I dont break 100 points!

NinjaTruncs

none yet but will probably end up with -8 once I look at my transfers, anyone know when Smalling is due back.

sanket

No points Hit...but speculating on smalling to baines although i have williamson collins and coleman as 3 DGWer's

I can't believe anyone is going to be bringing in Janu!

wonski

Nolan and Demichelis in for Paulinho and Fonte. -4 only and I have 10DGW players + Hazard.
Lallana, Azpi and Whittaker (who surprisingly started for Norwich last week) on the bench.

McGregor
Coleman Evra Demichelis:eek:
Yaya Sterling Nolan Hazard
Sturridge Suarez Lukaku

Very average team I guess, but won't make any extra hits especially when Hazard is in good form. Can't afford Gerrard and got rid of Silva last week:mad: so no way he goes back to my team. Fingers crossed for Yaya's goals:D

Changed my mind (per usual). -8 hit to do JRod to Big Andy and Shaw to Dummett
10 DGWers + Hazard starting now

TacT

Adebayor=Lukaku
Lallana=Johnson
Boruc=McGregor
Paulinho=Gerrard

McGregor
Olsson, Chester, Kolarov
Yaya, Johnson, Gerrard(V), Hazard
Suarez(C), Sturridge, Lukaku

9 DGW'ers

HighClass

-8 but will probably be -12 by the end of the day. Biggest hit I've taken all season.

iroced

If Debuchy didn't get injured would have had 9 DGW + Hazard & Azpi with no hits. But my "masterplan" of ignoring GW 29 (got Debuchy instead of a United defender (*) which cost me a lot during that GW but last GW saved me from this mini GW29 disaster).

(*) Didn't realise that Smalling was roughly the same prize. Now that he seems to be out it softens the blow (though with La Buche injury it's a 6 pts net deficit anyway).

So to answer the thread's question will probably take a 4 pts hit to replace Debuchy. There is the temptation to take another hit for Lallana and bench Hazard but not sure it's worth a 4 pts hit. And don't know who to take for him. Also he has lost already £0.2m so I'm a little late to make the move now. Only worry is his last 55 min game...

irish son

-4, Lallana to Sterling and Cahill to Baines, leaves me with 10 DGW players and Hazard. Im benching Terry which Im not very comfortable with and also Colback who I was never even tempted to play.

WoollyRedHat

I've kinda of taken hits leading up to this in preparation.

For example, in the previous two weeks I had take two straight -8 hits, and now this week I've taken another -4 hit.

So to put into perspective, I've taken at least a -16 point hit for this gameweek

I ended up making an extra -4 hit after I stupidly got Ramsey in before I knew he would be defintely fit enough, and similarly have got burned with Aguero who I then decided to dump...

I wish it wasn't so much, as -20 sounds fairly bad, but what's done is done.

wonski

The number of hits this week makes me think I was well prepared for this. Should stop reading the thread before I do something stupid and end up with -12 or worse:D

Friend of mine said he only need to make 3 transfer to have all 11 dgw players, and he seemed very happy about this like he had it all planned.
I thought, well - pretty much every player is in the very same position. I thought he was serious until I noticed his team value 103.8 and 0.8 in the bank. Suarez, Lambert and Berahino upfront:D
It is funny when people think they have it all figured out, hope he captains Mirallas again.

Bring the point hits lads:D

Hogey007

-4

my normal transfer went on distin in for vidic, I could easily have lived without the hit as it was just chester in for Bruce but I'm hoping that chester wipes out the 4 point hit at the very least and then leaves me with a 5th defender that actually plays.
the hit wasn't so much about points for this gameweek, more so, just trying to use it as an opportunity to fix up my team a little.

Dempsey

Voted 0 then realised that I did a -4 hit!

Dummett in for Azpilicueta
Gerrard in for Lallana

Both DGW players & both I can hold onto for a while afterwards.

Hazard is the only player I have that has 1 gameweek. Only player worthy of such status!

Mr. Incognito

J rod for sturidge
Ade for dzeko
Terry for.dummett

Minus 8.

9 dgw players.

remoteboy

Currently no hit. Did Dummet for Baker to give me 10 DGW players.

Mannone
Dummet Evra Coleman
Yaya Nolan Gerrard Hazard
Suarez Rooney Lukaku

Tempted to go Rooney to Sturridge for a -4 hit. Rooney is a good differential but Sturridge's high ownership would leave me screwed if he does well. Stick or Twist?

Sooner or Later

-4

Lallana to Gerrard and Dawson to Zabaleta

Leaves me with ten DGs or rather nine and a half as Collins might only play once

extra gravy

-12 here. My rival never takes hits and hasn't taken one all season so will be interesting to see what he does.

Iused2likebusts

-8 boruc lallana hazard out silva nolan mannone in. Have 11 dgw players now
took a major risk getting rid of hazard but Ive tried the last 2 days to get the idea of selling him out of my head and it just wouldnt go away. It will only cost me an extra .7 to get him back which I plan to for mata in gw 33/34.
Leaves me with
Mannone
Bardsley Baines Kos
Silva yaya nolan mata
suarez sturridge lukaku

skippy15

Had only planned a 4 point hit as needed to shift a liverpool player to bring in Sturidge-
Then Sir Aguero ruined my plans, so took an extra 8 point hit to shift Aguero+ Lallana to Lukaku and Silva. Both these players have DGW in wk 34 so can justify the hit to myself. Game on for the biggest GW so far

Skippy44

Currently have:

Adrian- (Foster)

Chester, Kos, Cahill, (Ward, Vlaar)

Yaya, Silva, Sterling, Hazard, (Lallana)

Suarez, Sturr, Lukaku.

Bank 0.4

Losing Hazard is not an option for me so I'm going to do Cahill to Distin for -4 and keep for the duration, then Koscielny to Azpilicueta at a later stage. I've had Lallana since the start so I will bench him this week and go with 10 dgwers this week with a few future dgwers on the bench. Will keep captain Adam unless Gaston threatens his immediate returns. Good luck to all.

oooph, I'm surprised that you've took the gamble on hazard!!

I'm committed now at this stage so hoping he delivers.

Inspector Coptoor

I've taken no points hits and have 9 DGW players.

Have Hazard & Azpil I could transfer out for Yaya & a defender.
Decisions,

its a gamble alright. He is capable of getting a 15pt + score anyweek but is also capable of going a few games without a big score so could go either way for me. Ive found the game a bit boring this year and have been playing it a lot cagier than I usually do the last few months.

The Wild Bunch

Who's the better bet this DGW, Dzeko or Negredo?

Necronomicon

Bit of a dilemma: my point hit will be -12 if I want Zabaleta, but I can keep it to -8 if I bring in Kolarov instead. Zab is less of a rotation risk, but I'm wondering if that is worth losing an extra 4 points over.

Anyone feel like pushing me in one direction or the other?

Everton defender??

-4 myself, gives me 12(!) :eek: doublers, Adam Johnson 1st sub as has 2 tough away fixtures, and generally not good on the road, so hopefully that doesn't bite me in the ass!! Suarez(c) studge(vc). Differentials are Mata, Mirallas, and... wait for it... George McCartney!!! If I don't score triple figures I shall consider hanging up my ff boots. Game on!!

Team attached

8-10

Yep I'd take the 4pt hit. Zabaleta will play more games until the rest of the season (I'm assuming whoever you bring in will be there for the remainder)
