Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Rashford?

any other strikers for 6.5m?

This 😉
8 point hit may just destroy your tender lead

you should be fine unless he picks the one who scores 20 points for his tc, and there always is one

That will be Interesting.
Bet you're glad he didn't play his TC this week on alexis 😉
It should make for an entertaining end of the season for you guys.
Good luck! It might be very close

You share too many players for him to catch that lead.
Job well done I'd say after a closer look.
Strange how your chaser didn't play the TC on Jesus or Alexis.

Over.

But I bet he goes Cout

139 (-8)
Same 4 players left + Vertoghen

126 (-8)

bavis, alli, kane, yoshi, gabbi, bailly

wonder how many will play

146(-4)

Yoshida Stephens Vertonghen Kane to go

very happy this DGW so far!!

145 no hits
Kane, Eriksen, and that Gabbi so-and-so
Come ooon that final push

147 no hits Kane Eriksen Yoshida Stephens

148 (-12)
Yoshida, Stephens, Eriksen, Kane to go.

127 (-4) 6 to play

136 with 7 to play

151(-8)

Kane Eriksen Davies Stephens Gabbi to go

161 (-12) with 5 to play

148 (no hits) and Kane Erik Verty Yoshi and Stephens to go

149 (-8)
Yoshida and Kane left...

138 (no hit). Same 4 + vert and gabbi

155 (-8)

Kane, Vertonghen, Albrighton and Yoshi left

149 with Kane, Eriksen, Yoshi & Stephens to go 😀

130pts (no hits)
Yoshida, Stephens, Alli, Kane to play

kane

Kane even if Studge wasn't -4

Are we even sure Studge will start if Firmino is fit?

Kane, if you want a Liverpool punt then Phil is the man.

How come you didn't play TC this week?

Brilliant. Just shows how preparing well for a dgw drastically improves your rank. Well done!

19k on the dot too.
Hey. Now you've learnt to always play your TC on your hottest dgw player.
81 points from Alexis would of been crazy stuff.
I did Jesus as a punt, oh well. Could of been amazing if sanchez got injured or whatever.
Annoying missing out on all those points. I missed the deadline to swap captain. I was out driving at the time.

Why not top 10K? I'm 20K just behind you and it's only 32 points. If your remaining players do well and you have a great GW38 then why not?

Well done! I bet your rival hates the sound of alexis.
Nightmares of blue failure

Well done lad

Congrats mate

Over

70 pts with no chips for those chasing....that's totally over.

Take a 32 point hit and showboat.

How's your season going mate?

The problem with this conclusion is that these guys have made the right decisions nearly all the way, so they don't need to take hits to correct 'mistakes'. You could take a 12 pointer every week and win FPL as long as the transfers are the right ones and if you're looking at the top 10 then you're looking at the teams who have made the right transfers.

That's not something any of us can achieve by trying to copy their hit strategy.

Thanks. The -8 point is interesting. I'd have guessed -4 more than -8 with two FTs.

Don't get the negativity here to this post. The math behind a hit is transparent.

My conclusion is that generally us managers are not good at predicting points (and we like to think we are), so giving up 4 points regularly to do that is surely worse than making less transfers at no cost.

12 the same as me - front 7, bench and Alonso the same.
I have gone with losing Sane instead of Hazard as my punt. You will never guess who I got in 🙂

Anichebe,Hazard > Origi/Llorente,Mahrez

Ikr, 150 points.4 players to go and 16k OR

180 on the cards.

How can you sleep through the night when your captain is playing! My body just seems to wake up and go 'Hey it's 2am KO time'

Bit ambitious tbh

maybe, but rank him alongside other punts. Costa's last game too, for example

If chasing and a United fan!

Origi (if Firmino doesn't play)

Get Charlie Austin

Dry much a high scoring affair so avoid Defender for hits on teams not playing for anyithing

It can be a points bonanza but it's a lottery which team goes nuts (Newcastle vs Spurs 5-1 the best example from last year). All out attack is a good chip to have. Not many clean sheets

I'm not sure
Hazard sure to get minutes.

I've done it (more so I stop deliberating). It's not inconceivable that he gets rested completely. Don't know why everyone thinks Costa Alonso etc will start as well. This match sharpness argument is nonsense. With Costas injury record I'd be resting him if I was Conte

I think so... a few don't like not playing Haz at home to Sun but with FA Cup final soon and playing while game Monday, got to believe he will be rested

Thank you gents, food for thought 🙂

Hazard to coutinho then?

It's not a bad idea to gamble on one team to go wild, and it's not a bad idea to think of Liverpool.

I think the poor teams tend to play better against the big clubs. Look at Sunderland last night compared to the Swansea game. And they were at home in the Swansea game.

Liverpool? having a field day vs a nothing to play for boro? nah. dnt see that happening. likely a low scoring affair or pool to lose to a aoa boro. Plus that Liverpool mentality of losing to a under-strength opponents still stinks.

Hazard to Coutinho, gabs to origi and keep Alonso?

Perfect solution for you :

Couthino, Sturridge and Lovren

Scenes. Well played sir

Sweet comeback Scambell ... comeback myself from 107 down 3 weeks ago to 37 up thanks to Sanchez Jesus and a few others

Nice! I've made 80 points on my ML leader this week alone but it's not going to be enough.

You never know! A wee Coutinho or Costa captain might get you over the line.

Good luck

Coulda been red carded for the intentional hand ball

hand ball? didnt watch the game

I didn't see it!

Not really. Are you able to transfer that TC to gameweek 37?

I used mine in gw30 and I haven't seen many on here with more than 159pts

I think it's too late, but it might depend on your team. Mine was struggling. Used WC in GW 28 and have had 10/12 green arrows since (plus increase of 700k places - which says something about where I started). But then only on 123 for this week (with 7 more players maybe involved).

Wouldn't back Lovren to outscore one of those mids.

C because Gabriel will get 0 for sure

F

C or F I'd fancy

Congrats on top of Page!
F or
G (Cout and Origi)

A or C

A or B

What about Coutinho AND Sturridge?

Too many eggs in one basket?

Not considered Siggy/Llorente for a spot?

F

I think G) has already been used - so how about

H) Couts + Vardy?
