also be very careful who you transfer out because they may have a blank gw especially if you have money tied up in them make sure you have a plan for getting them back in. This happened with bale last year people transferred him out ahead of his blank and other players impending doubles and it took a few transfers to work him back in when he got a brace in the next game. Id also agree its best to have a spare transfer facing into it. Having 2 transfers this week is the ideal scenario for after the fa cup games when things should be a lot clearer although its a bit too late for that advice at this stage.

In my opinion, the key is a careful mid-term planning. For example, try to know in advance which transfers you're gonna make for the following 3-4-5 GWs. Of course injury and suspension could mess the whole thing up. You may have a look at the suspension tightrope on FFS website to reduce the risk to the minimum.
Hopefully we'll know quick after the FA Cup when the games will be re-arranged to have all the parameters in our hands.

Should have added this. I'd prefer one game out of a player from the top 6, rather than 2 games from a player from the bottom 6

Not necessarily. To me, it mainly depends on the relative fixtures (and form) for the DGWs and beyond, e.g. WH, Sunderland & Cardiff have favourable home fixtures 'till the end of the season. So getting one of their defender as one of your cheapie at the back may well work out. Like what happened this past GW for example with Collins, Turner getting big points.

Wouldn't so much call them "trade secrets", but here's a few ideas going through my head at the moment

- two games in a week increases rotation risk, especially among teams involved in other competitions. So while you think you're getting two game weeks, you're really only getting 90 minutes.

- Wingers and attacking midfielders seem to be the most liable to be rested. I'd never expect the likes of Oscar, Erikssen, Silva etc to play 180 minutes.

- taking a 4pt hit for a transfer is much more sensible the further up the field you are. I wouldn't do it for a defender/keeper.

- 4pt hit for someone you're going to make captain is definitely worth it.

- bringing a player in for one week only and then out again probably costs you -8 (or a transfer you could have made elsewhere), so you have to be sure your player coming in scores more than once to break even.

- Team value doesn't matter much end of year, but for those that do watch it, easy to make money these weeks as teams with DGW's will be more popular.

- I suppose a key aswell is what players you want to have after the DGW. If you're thinking about a player anyway, and he has a DGW, that should make him double as attractive, with the opposite if you fancy getting rid of him the following week.

Just my meandering thoughts. Love to hear feedback

Your first exposure was Villa and Chelsea in GW1.

It's simple really, load up on double GW players if possible. If you have a quality player with 2 games, captain him!

Try to keep an extra transfer banked during this final period if at all possible to give you extra flexibility to change up the team, pending fixtures.

But don't overdo it, especially at the expense of 4 point hits. In DGWs, there's a greater risk of rotation and that expensive Chelsea defender you brought in for -4 might get rested for one game. It might also be pointless (literally!) to bring in a defender who plays for relegation strugglers. Choose your players wisely and be aware of what happens in the following weeks -- you might cripple your team for five GWs after by bringing in DGW players who'll be duds with difficult fixtures later.

Swansea and Wigan would be the two I'd like to see through (to get Everton and Cardiff out)

No but it will affect subsequent GWs in due course. At this stage of the season you have to plan more than 1 GW ahead if you want to make strides. If not then it's like playing chess by planning for your next move only.

If you are not too bothered about your ranking then fair enough, but i thought that was the whole point of the game!

I have three playing subs from teams not affected. I'll be fine.

My total team value (109.5) isn't good enough for me to not care about value, but I need to achieve balance, and this wouldn't do that.

In fairness, in spite of a team value of £112.8m I'm still caring about it. Of course it's less important now than at the start of the season but with a more than chaotic calendar coming up I think the £0.1m or £0.2m profit gleaned here and there could make the difference to shape the best possible team for the blanks/DGWs.

Hopefully just for a rest. Well he got his rest, now f*cking play him Roberto!

Team value has gone out the window for me, think my teams about £113m. Hopefully won't be making any more early transfers for price reasons, although I haven't really been stung this year.

Mine is 111.2, but lot of this is locked in players like Suarez/Coleman/Hazard and even Lallana. Getting rid of RVP gave me 4.2 to spend, which is enough. I did sacrifice my bench, and the next 2 transfers will go towards this. Got lucky escape this week with no bench but next week could be different story.
Anyway - over 3m players and no matter what you do they will be making transfers. Let's just hope it bites them.

I heard Martinez giving an interview before it was postponed and he said he was just resting him as they have a busy period coming up.

I am not going to complain about players making transfers now. This will only help me to get a good score. Not bothered with price rises anymore with 4.2 in the bank and all the high scorers from last week already in my team.
There will be a lot of moaning after the weekend, can't wait to see it.

Ozil and Dzeko Out

Gerrard and Ade in for -4.

Swapping Ade out for Dzeko has cost me 20K places. From 40K to 60K.

1 and a blank as opposed to 8 and 16.

I had to make the transfer as had just enough to cover it and Gerrard and Ade are both due to rise.

Plus there is the stress every week if he is going to start or not. City are just too prone to rotation.

Broke my heart to let Ozil go but he is just ineffective without Walcott or Ramsey playing off him.

I HATE taking hits but had to be done for the long term good.

But what if both Chelsea and Liverpool win in the FA Cup at the weekend?

Getting rid of Eriksen, will wait a while before I do it though, thinking of bringing in Wilshere. Hoping not too many people jump on the Ade wagon. He's been a nice differential for me the past few months.

That differential is gone. He's back to the form of two years ago. Everyone is going to be bringing him in.

Yep, you can always bank a transfer. Good strategy to have tbh, always having a transfer banked. I can never do it for longer than a week though!

Why are people making transfers already! Makes no sense.

Took -4 hit with Ade, Gerrard in --- Johnson, Benteke out

Spare 2.2m to sub Johnson for Gerrard...thoughts?

Plus Johnson missing GW 28..I'm covered everywhere else
