Then a wildcard soon after!

Not to mention the fact that all your eggs are in a couple of baskets. Far more advantage from the WC around the DGWs where you can use it to have 3 or 4 more players x2. If your needing to WC to fix your team do that, but not after a -12. Patience would be my advice. 250k far from terrible at this stage. A run to the top 10k or above is well in your grasp.

Does it go to the end of the season meaning you'll have 10 H2Hs to go when chips will be in play almost every week? Get the "essentials" Siggy Lukaku, (I'm been stubborn with Lukaku atm but he's one of the main captain choices) Liverpool mid and Coleman. If you have them I'd not go beyond a -4. Good Luck
Kankan14 wrote: » Wouldn't know opponent until two days before that gw starts AFAIK. My 6 are fairly frail only really firmino I'd be happy with no lukaku siggy or Coleman. So I'm thinking 4 sub's shaped towards dgws and my team heavily featuring both Liverpool and Everton. There's still gonna be 2k players left after this gw in cup. Looks very likely I'll go through unless Costa (my opponents skipper) goes bananas. So not overly concerned with the cup yet. I have two money leagues to be concerned about so I'd need to keep practical for those rather than trying to win 10 more h2h on the trot.

Looking at the fixtures beyond GW28, West Ham appear to have decent prospects so the decision will be which of theirs to bring in? I will probably need to get rid of Ibra if he is banned but would Carroll be too risky? Other considerations would be to bring in Antonio for Phillips (if he is confirmed out) or a West Ham defender for Chambers... Anyone have any idea of the Best Hammer to bring in? Id prefer not to wildcard immediately after the Blank week so whoever I bring in will need to stay in the team for a few weeks.

Logging out of fpl until the mist of stupidity passes Yeah don't do it. Minus 12 is nuts. The best players in the game rarely take hits never mind minus 12s. Hits seem pretty popular on this forum but you rarely hear of the hits that go tits up only the ones which work out - patience is the percentage choice about 90% of the time. If you're making the correct transfers each week then you'll be unlucky needing to take a minus 4. Makes sense for weeks like this (DGW) to take a hit but the odds are against you basically every other week imo.

A bit of a sidewise move with the week that's in it but i can't see Morrison doing anything away to Everton, and King nailed on in an attack-minded Cherries team and on pens is just so hard to ignore. After that i may do Sterling or Sane to Firmino for a -4, and that would leave me with (hopefully) 10 starters Thoughts?

Maybe I should play my wildcard if I'm taking that many hits?

I've used my BB and one of the positive slants I'm putting on that is that I can afford 1 or 2 pieces of bench fodder in favour of a stronger 12 /13 for the run in. Holgate will probably stay till the death. I'll celebrate a 1 pointer from him next week like nothing else if it happens.
