    Good idea. I didn't know I had epilepsy until I started using the other one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,360 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    I assuming there will be a decent spread of captains next gameweek or am I missing an obvious one ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,506 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    I thought I was the only one…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,227 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Anyone else still in the main Cup? I’m down to the last 8k now, never had a run like this before…

    Glad to see the back of the Ass-Man chip to be honest.

    Had TC on Salah for DGW24, once DGW25 was confirmed, switched to AMC.

    Will be using it for a run of SGW/BGW next season.

    Hopefully it will be available early next season, if a "top 6" has a bad opening fixture, will use the league position as part of my decision making for GW2/3.

    No Captains poll this week?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,029 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    anyone notice weird jumps in ranking in running?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,360 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    Will be interesting to see if they keep it.

    If they do I reckon they’ll keep it for second half of the season again. I like the chip.

    If they are having 4 chips again then I’ll 100% be using BB in GW 1.

    I think a post season discussion around the value of the chips will inform my plans as my view is the BB is the worst one so maybe just get it used and not have to plan for it later int season.

    I assume the best chips in order are - AM, TC, FH and BB. I have probably undervalued FH in that list.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,601 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    In my eyes, TC is the worst.

    FH - 11 extra players

    BB - 4 extra players

    AM - (3 *) 1 extra player

    TC - 1 extra player

    Trying to work out the best strategy for GW2 (Blank) and 32 and GW 33. (team below)

    Do I do a free hit for GW29 and then build for 32 naturally (1FT per week), Could I do a wild card for 33 maybe?

    If I do a wildcard for 32 my TC option (ISAK) is gone?

    Also have a bench boost to try and get in on a DGW. I think there is one more in 36 potentially.

    the FH isn't 11 extra players though - it's option of 11 new players, you still only get points for 11 players - compared to the other 3 chips.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,227 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Out 86-93. Leaving Munoz and TAA on the bench while starting Robinson and Kerkez cost me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,506 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    TC - one more Salah

    BB - 4 more games from cheap enablers

    FH - 11 more of whatever players are playing that week



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,421 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Is there a separate chat for chips that I'm not seeing? (I don't want to derail this thread).

    I've a wild card and all chips left and looking for a bit of a steer from you fine gentlemen on how to maximise the use of them between now and the end of the season.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Think theres a WC thread but here is probably the best place otherwise



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,487 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    My 10 year old, who didn't start until week 2, is 54 points ahead of me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,421 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    There's a lot to be said for starting a week or two later. I did it once and had my best ever finish.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,074 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    What are people thinking now for TC??

    I was going to wait for Isak DGW but Salah at home to Southampton is tempting 🤔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,601 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    It's the game in between the CL knockouts, with the league cup final the weekend after. That game is prime opportunity for reduced minutes IMO.

    But it's Salah, and he's a machine for minutes! Let alone goals and assists!

    Mateta stretched off today, one of the worst "tackles" I've seen. Awful to see.

    And Cunha red card.

    So 2 popular transfers in very much in doubt as Cunha suspended.

    And Isak also another potential issue.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,376 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    Wolves knocked out so Cunha will miss next 4 GW's.

    One the most transferred in players last week will be one of the most out now! I got away with it some how.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,964 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    Wonderful brought Cunha in last week, and mateta this week!

    Is it worth WC now? I'd get 1ft back? I was going to FH Gaw29 and WC later



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,376 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    So many are in same boat.

    I was going down FH29 as used FTs I was banking last few weeks.

    I wouldn't pull a WC TBH now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,301 ✭✭✭G1032


    I don't think FH GW29 is a good idea. The fixtures are terrible. City are very poor and up against a good Brighton side. Bournemouth play Brentford so you're going to have probably 4 or 5 players playing against each other. Couldn't go near anyone from Wolves, Southampton, Ipswich. Everton v WHU has the likes of a 1-1 written all over it too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,666 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Ye cunha to a one week gamble in gw29 maybe marmoush or someone, will just scrape 11 now for 29 using my transfers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,301 ✭✭✭G1032


    I'm screwed for 29. Lol. Between injuries and suspensions and blanks I've currently got 7 players, one of whom is Bednarek 🙈. I may take a hit and get 10 for the GW but right now I'm thinking I'll just go with 9 players



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,532 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    FS trying to have 11 for BGW 29 without using FH or taking hits and now Cunha suspended until GW 31. Plan was to leave TAA, Salah and isak on bench and I have Rogers and Bednarek to offload

    Feckin hell!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,964 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    Yeah Think I'm just about okay for GW28, and FH GW 29, the problem is I was building for GW32 (DGW) but hopefully Mateta is back by then (Missing IPS this week though).

    Awoni's head injury was worse I think and missed 1 game due to concussion protocols, so here's hoping.

    He will be out for 12 days with concussion protocols, he will hardly be cleared for the 7 day turnaround due to the level of the injury.

    So GW28 very unlikely.

    He posted online saying he is good and thanks for the support. Could have been 100 times worse given the state of the tackle.
