    With all those City players say it could be 200 by the end of the DGW in 37! Im 75 ahead of third but looking over my shoulder - Klopporamas team is full of Spurs and City.

    Have to say I like the draft too - it does need improvements but regardless I would play again next year.
    Yes I was worried about City rotating come this time of year but with nothing left to play for and records to hit, they'll still play relatively strong lineups.
    Was thinking would you try consolidate or go all out attack with punty players. It's probably one or the other.

    Definitely a few tweaks, definitely play again and would like to see how both a head-to-head and classic style leagues differ.

    Yeah. I think in a H2H weekly transfers could really matter.

    Not much point clawing back 6-8 points a week on a 100 point deficit but your transfers could make a weekly difference in a H2H.

    I’ll be up for another draft league next season in a H2H format and maybe we can try and recruit 15-20 players in at €50 a head.

    This would be ideal numbers I think and there would be a number of differing strategies to play a H2H.

    Would be interested to see what peoples scores would have been if the had kept the team they had originally picked for the season? Maybe we can post them up after games done on Sunday and see how important original draft was v weekly transactions.

    Looked back on my history there and my hard luck stories are Coutinho who left and Arnie who I let go before he became a striker. But on flip side picked up Otamendi at start and Karius, Lingard & Valencia midway which improved me a bit.

    Looking back at original it's mad when you look back at some of the players who were left til late - Sterling, De Gea, Son, Azpi were all pretty late picks, 5th round or later - to put in perspective 6 point Davy Klaasen was picked ahead of all of them!

    I definitely think transactions help! 
    My GW1 team would be on 1600 where as my current team is on 1870

    Team was

    Foster

    Walker Milner Kolasinac Monreal Rudiger

    Salah KDB Sterling Mata

    King

    Subs: Butland Sturridge Gayle Andre Ayew

    I recall be very limited with strikers and flirted with many different ones as the season went on based on form Perez, Wood, Lacazette, Welbeck, Austin
    Defensively then brought in some fringe players from Top 6 teams like Aurier and got Smalling at some stage
    Obviously my success came in Midfield where I had 3 ever presents and didnt need to rotate.

    Well done all!! Hopefully we do again next year and also look at potential H2H style league.

    Who did we pay again?
