Should be on 78 (-4) with Doherty and Jiménez to go, plus Bednarek to sub in with his 1 point.

Tipsy McSwagger · 10-02-2019 7:20pm

87 with Jiminez & Moutinho to go.

73 with Doherty and Jimmi to go. Did Sterling to Son but can't complain. Was very close to selling Aguero so my luck was in there. What's actually annoying is main rival somehow getting from 17pts from double Watford defence!!

:eek: feeling the pressure now! Actually got a bit of a knock right so hope you have a decent sub if I don't make it!

jimmii · 10-02-2019 7:31pm

54 with Pat, Doc and Jimenez to go. Hoping Pat can some how be the top scorer seeing as the other two are pretty widely owned now!

Ace2007 · 10-02-2019 7:32pm

78 with Bennett to go.

onwards and upwards, getting rid of Sane top of the to do list for Son or Pogba

Rikand · 10-02-2019 7:33pm

96 with Jiminez to go

Come on Jim!

Pissartist · 10-02-2019 7:35pm

86 with Bennett to go, Hewt

dsmythy · 10-02-2019 7:45pm

49 with Doherty left. Painful.

manual_man · 10-02-2019 7:51pm

Have to say, those who chose to keep Auba over Aguero over the last 2 weeks have been brutally punished. Extremely unlucky

Exact same.
Bennett to come in for sane

MattD · 10-02-2019 8:07pm

79 with Jimi and Doherty to play. Llorente (5) to come in if anything goofy happens. Sterling making up for not having Aguero and my transfer of Eriksen > Son last week!

FHFC · 10-02-2019 8:12pm

82 with Bennett, Doherty and Jiménez to play.

Back in top 100k. Delighted.

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-02-2019 8:34pm

Looking at 60 with Jota hopefully to come. Not having City players has been costly for me, although Sane was the main one I had been considering. At least they won't be an issue in GW 27.

normanoffside · 10-02-2019 8:50pm

So happy I didn’t transfer Aguero to Auba earlier in the week. Considering keeping him through the Blank now.

If you can field 11 players with Aguero on the bench then I'd definitely hold onto him. I can easily see him going up twice (at least) by the time the next gw comes along which is obviously mad considering, well, you know....

I have 12 players. Might keep Aguero and Laporte and roll the transfer.

Seriously? Do you really think Kun will rise? You would be mad to get him in this week surely? I have him already but was going to swap him out for one week for Auba.

Literally just checked FPL Stats there and it says he's 104.1% due a rise tonight. Now, with the long break to the next game week, there could be a few WCs in play, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he rose tonight, and again before the next round of fixtures.

Madness, I know, but that's FPL!

Poker Face · 10-02-2019 10:01pm

Been a great 2 weeks, jumped 80K last week to 62K and now 29K after 90 with Bennett to go. Will have to take a -4 next game week to get in 3 playing players for the 5 I have out.

Invincible · 10-02-2019 10:10pm

84 with Jota left. 107k before tonight's update.
Probably keep Aguero and move Silva for next gameweek.

macraignil · 10-02-2019 10:16pm

63 with Rashford and Aubemeyang replacements Deeney and McNeil to bring another 7 points off the bench and Mouthinho to play. Hoping for a green arrow in spite of my strikers only bringing in 1 point so can't complain.

Rise from 28.3k OR to 8.8k OR.

Holding Aguero & Sterling was massive.

Mike Ehrmantraut · 10-02-2019 10:40pm

95pts with Jimenez and Doherty to go, up to 163rd in OR :eek::eek::eek:

I see you're the only one ahead of me in the Finn Harps league. I'm glad you didn't bother entering anymore of my leagues :-)

gammygils · 11-02-2019 12:13am

76 (no hits) with just Jimi to play. Unfortunately Dave to come off my bench for Rashers with a -1

Didn’t realize that was you, theres very little in it, been trying to reel in your lead for the last few weeks, you’ve been in the top 500 for a good part of the season.

Yea I've been pretty solid in holding my rank for the past couple of months. I'm aiming for the top 100 but have made a couple of mistakes lately like selling Hazard last week for Sane. I prefer chasing down a lead though so thanks for being the hare!

NoviGlitzko · 11-02-2019 12:40am

76 with Jimenez to play, happy with that. Sterling the star. Only gut punches were Kola and Etheridge conceding in the last minute and the OG.

manual_man · 11-02-2019 1:12am

Up 27k places to 34k, with Jota & Doherty to play, and Laporte(6) to sub in. Really happy. That's a rankings rise of 81k places over the last 4 gameweeks, including a -12 and a -8.

sheroman01 · 11-02-2019 2:07am

72 with Doherty and Jimmi to go. Up to 25k. Very happy with that!

Well done.

I’m ruing my decision to go conservative this year.

Recent finishes in top 5k and 6k led me to thinking if I stopped with the hits I might get top 1k.

So far not so good at all.

I’ll stay with it until the season ends but looks like agressive hits pay off for me.

This last two GW’s must have cost me 40-50 points alone. Probably more.

Very very very demotivated currently.

Thanks. I really think hits can go both ways. I've seen nothing to suggest that one vs the other (conservative vs aggressive) is better. It just is what it is. Probably the biggest challenge is sticking to your guns ie. you have a premium player, he's playing well looks like a big haul is inevitable, but he's blanked 3 times in a row... it's difficult to hold on to players in these situations(player price is plummeting.....). A possible examply might be Auba now. He'll probably drop again in price with the trends at the moment, however i've seen nothing to suggest that he doesn't have great potential over the next couple of gameweeks, and probably beyond. That's the hardest part really, sticking to your guns while many jump ship.

Snap. Can say the same thing. Took quite a few hits till mid November and barely even used the FT since. The wild price changes discouraged me from dropping certain players that I would've done in the past. Not going PEA to kun due to price differential two weeks ago or Hazard to Son before Christmas has ruined my entire season.

Iused2likebusts · 11-02-2019 9:45am

So in 2 gws we have those that went with sterling, sane or aguero as their main city asset. You would have captained them last week.
Aguero 55
Sterling 40
Sane 1
I cant remember a more punishing decision in all my time playing the game.
Of course then you have even bigger variances as some will own both sterling and aguero and will have used TC and maybe captained a city player this week.
I was on sane who prior to the dgws starting Id have had along with sterling as the prime city asset to own . I also got in Kdb as my 2nd city asset who was on the pitch for 9 city goals and didnt get one attacking return.

SlickRic · 11-02-2019 9:57am

65 with Jimenez and Digne's 2 to come in has me down from 890 to 1k so far. Down from 440 two GWs ago.

As damage limitation goes when you don't have Aguero and Sterling, that's perfectly acceptable so far.

On hits, there really is no rule. Some players are better aggressive. Some are better conservative. There's no one way to play the game. As I've already said on this thread, if I could go back to before GW25, i'd still keep and captain Sane rather than destroy my team with a -8, losing Mané and Rashford, in order to get Aguero. I also wasn't going to burn a WC. It just wasn't my percentage play with the way my team was set up. It's just unlucky for me that Aguero went nuts on the 2 weeks where it wasn't sensible for me to get him. For others, especially those with Auba, it made perfect sense.

So swings and roundabouts. I remember early on the season I was set in getting off the Jimenez wagon (I think it was before the Spurs home game), but I had other pressing matters and a -4 or -8 would've been stupid considering my great start. And he hasn't looked back since. That's nowhere near the Aguero swing, but it still helped me.

The game giveth, and the game taketh away.

clever user name · 11-02-2019 1:27pm

64 (including 8 points to come off the bench) with Doherty and Jiminez left.

Considering I have Rashford and Sane and don't have Sterling or Aguero, I dodged a big bullet this week.

Rikand · 11-02-2019 2:59pm

^^ the guy with the best score for this week played spacecraft and left son on the bench

Yea it was tough week for us Sane owners. Hazard to Sane cost me 32 points as I captained him ahead of Aguero. That was definitely my worst transfer ever in terms of points lost.

boccy23 · 11-02-2019 3:22pm

69 with Patricio, Bennett and Jimenez to play tonight.

Surprised to have risen from 26K to 23K OR.

1127 in Ireland for whatever that means!

Just ahead of you in Ireland on 1,050.

Gained decent ground with 83 points, jumped from 40k to 22k in OR, didn't expect that much of a move. Considering I was 53k OR in GW24.

Should have 11 players for GW27 so hopefully negotiate through that without too much trouble.

Struggling there so will probably have to take a hit to get a team together. Would rather not use the Free Hit at this stage.

I'll do everything to hold the free hit chip for the 2 DGW's coming up, take a -8 hit and use 1 FT also. Have you even 7/8 players as of now?

Yeah, I do have 3 Man City and Gros. But could do it for a -4. Well have 11 playing anyway.

Rival has Doherty and Jimmi, same as me. Out of interest, I checked their ownership %. Jimmi 32% and Doherty 25%. Bit surprised by Doherty's ownership, thought he'd be much higher.

alchemist33 · 11-02-2019 7:34pm

Jimenez and Jota - sorry, Jimmi and Joti - here so I want goals galore tonight. Hopefully not one of those "Wolves play better against the better teams" nights
