I saw a request on another thread about Team Value and chasing/not chasing it and decided to start a new thread for this year.
I consciously chose last year to heavily chase value and it killed my OR. I'm hoping to take a more balanced approach this year and see how it goes.
Last year was a bit of an anomaly though as Mahrez, Vardy, Payet, Delle Alli, as must haves and Deeney, Ighalo, Wilson must haves at different stages. This meant that you could have a lot of cash and it was not as effective.
This year is shaping up slightly different with Kun, Ibra, Hazard all looking like must haves and when Giroud comes back for Arsenal maybe Sanchez will be also.
I posted regularly in the 2015/2016 Value thread so I could use it as a comparison this year.
Below is the warts and all progression, starting with the last post of the season where I had made a great RV of £9M but average OR of 91k
I finished the season with an OR of 80k but I definitely lost serious points by an over adherence to value chasing.
Let it be a salutary lesson to me this season

It lets you seriously invest in GK and DEF if you want, while still having a template mid and attack.
I need to find a better policy for next year though. That value has cost me 92 points in hits (not the most accurate metric but a significant one).
Time will tell over the rest of the season if it can help to pay it back but I doubt it.

I think next year there will be less hunting of value and more concentrating on not taking hits:
TV: 111.4
RV: 108.7
OR: 124K

Doesn't look like much has changed in a month

TV: 111.3
RV: 108.0
OR: 156K
High RV doesn't yet seem important. It might help out a bit over the next few doubles and skinny's (to use a phrase somebody coined earlier )
01-02-2016
TV: 111.0
RV: 107.1
OR: 125K
De Bruyne getting injured has put a dampener on my plans. I was planning on
De Bruyne, Sanchez, Ozil, Alli, Payet
Kane, Lukaku, Aguero
Might take a look at Hazard instead. As FHFC has pointed out it could be an option to burn value during double gameweeks/blanks when you wouldn't be afraid to rotate out built up value.

TV 110.4
RV 106.4
OR 314K
It's nice to be able to afford expensive players but not many of them are really firing this season so it's a bit like being a millionaire on a desert island :pac:
If Sanchez comes back to the fold in good form and the likes of Hazard and other expensive flops then it could create some potential differential.

We'll see how these values fluctuate over Christmas

No I'm sticking with Mahrez right now, will keep an eye on it though as the Tinkerman is doing his normal tinkering ........
Had Mahrez from GW2
I had Gomis and Ayew at points (made some nice cash out of them)
YaYa to KDB (had Yaya from GW2 so that was good.)
Jumped from Martial to Pelle last night (.2 there)
Gomez from Liverpool
Lost .1 on Bentaleb at the start (what can you do)
This is the rest of them

It's not too bad at this stage but there are plenty out there who have much better.

I had a rough plan to take a few more points hits than normal pre-Christmas to make RV but I might start to slow it down a little now.
TV 103.9
RV 102.2

Looks like you're edging it so far.
A more balanced look at it though would be to give your total resale value and Overall Rank
TV 102.8
Resale 101.0
OR 759k

WC currently underway 102.2 TV with a 100.7 Resale. Hopefully this continues to grow nicely over the next 2 weeks.

A GW3 WC was pretty good for price alright. My resale is 100.4 though with no WC. If you're prepared to take the odd -4 you can keep your TV high and keep the WC.
I've not seem prices drop this quickly and for so many players that were supposed to be semi safe before though.
If you let it the TV could really start to affect your choices of player (which would be foolish I think)
Does anyone think that we could see a return to the TV of a few seasons ago when it was normal enough to have an extra 3m upwards built up ?

£100.7 TV at moment but hoping for another .3 tonight. WC not in play.
