    Some players fairly using up them tranfers.

    Yep a lot of people burn transfers early, Donegal you certainly benefited from having those extra transfers during the final stretch

    Big time. When I got into the top 10 first time I had 7 transfers left. Most players had 2/3 left. They made such a difference and played a huge part on how I won.

    Out of interest, what was your final score when you won?

    As a target, and also trying to figure out what kind of weekly scores are needed!

    Lads this weekend I was thinking VVD and Zaha out, AWB and Bruno in then Mahrez in for Vardy. Is 3 transfers too many?

    I dunno about making any with the overhaul so soon and transfers at a premium. I’m gonna have times when my guys are injured or out of form.

    Sound, no Utd and no Auba could fix my nosebleed fairly quickly.

    I remember hearing on one of the podcasts that AWB could benefit from the changes in tackle bonus, might be the one Donegal was on? I have him pencilled in for my overhaul team.

    I'm planning on bringing in KDB on Sunday night and that to be my only pre overhaul transfer. I think overhaul is so close that you're better off holding out as much as possible

    Wouldn’t be a fan of using 3 transfers this early on. You will need them transfers come March/April.

    This game seems so much easier to be casual on from Monday to Friday since there isn’t price changes to monitor. If I decide to make a change I can make it at my leisure.

    Yea very relaxed indeed. I remember Michu a few years ago was one of the cheapest midfielders in the game and with no price changes was literally in everyone’s team come Christmas.

    Pros and cons to it I suppose. Less of a reward for being ahead of the curve.

    Absolutely, I tend to make my changes and captaincies on a Friday night will sipping a flamboyant cocktail and wearing a fedora hat.

    I had twigged the 11-12:30 time as FPL closes as my time for it.

    Bring the dog for a walk to the pet shop, and listen to Sky podcasts for the time while I make my decisions and prepare to sit down to a weekend of disappointment.

    Yeah. I honestly despise price changes in FF. Takes away enjoyment of the game for me.

    Nice day for me with Son in team 1 (captained Werner mind you) as well as double 'Pool defense and Justin. Team 2 even better with Kane captained and Ings, Justin and Robertson. 49k and 11k i think. Happy enough with that after the low scoring starts. Wolves-City should be interesting.

    I see Thiago Silva came on at half time yesterday and had more passes on the 2nd half then the entire Chelsea team combined in the first half.... Broke some sort of record. Definitely one to watch with the passing bonus points.

    Think we may have to come up with different names

    Thiago = Thiago Alcantara
    Thilva = Thiago Silva

    With Gundogan out tonight, is there a chance that KDB will not be attacking as much ? I assume a few Of us will be doing a transfer today to bring in a City player and captain them

    Yes 1st season, enjoying it! Playing FPL for 15 years and you could add nearly another 15 years of other versions prior to that. Heard about your win on here so had a look and decided to give it a go for the craic! Will probably be way down the league in a few weeks, beginners luck so far !

    Rankings updated. I'm 22k 1st team and 12k 2nd team. 1 transfer used and 4 transfers used. HEWT. Probably leave my 2nd team as is, 1st team i'm thinking of doing Egan and Havertz to Podence and Jimenez after Saturday's games.

    I think the sky format is what better compared to fpl. The prizes aswell are a added incentive.

    4.4k and 24.4k after this week. 2nd team had a terrible first week but moved up a bit cos I had Kane. 3 transfers and 1 transfer used so far. Had no plans to make any more until the overhaul but Egan intervened yesterday :)

    I have 3 transfers used but have Johnstone, Lascelles, Walker-Pieters, Ward-Prowse and Saint-Maximin that I am not overjoyed about :-)

    I will just have to grin and bear things next week with all of them and sort it out in the Overhaul, I will definitely be taking a dive in rank next week.

    Transfers are precious now going forward, no more double barrel surnames for me!
