Hits for defenders - insane or inspired?
The majority here will advise against taking hits for defenders, but is that really a rule we need to go by? Last season I took a hit to get Joey O'Brien in for West Ham's home game against Norwich, taking out an injured defender. I woke up and saw West Ham won 2-1... and O'Brien scored one and was substituted just before Norwich's goal! That 15 point haul has somewhat clouded my judgement of whether taking hits for defenders really is stupid.
What do you think? Is it better to play with 10 men instead of taking a hit for a defender? Is it really that stupid to take a hit to get rid of a defender with terrible fixtures for a defender with excellent fixtures, for the small price of 4 points? Does anyone else have any success stories from getting defenders in for a hit?Open Controls
I generally keep to that rule but sometimes it has backfired. Like this GW! I should have got Ward over Parr and hit the WC button. C'est La vie.
Open ControlsYou're right, it does backfire a lot, but when it comes off... It's lovely 🙂
Open Controls
i did the same thing last season! also had davies in for a hit and he either scored that week or the week after. Just this week brought evans for a hit because i only had 2 defenders fit.
Open ControlsI got Davies in the week he scored too 🙂 well done on the Evans choice, I'd always take a hit to get someone in if I only had 2 fit defenders.
Open Controls
Theres a difference between a hit a for defender when you only have 2 playing and when your just don't wanna one with with bad fixtures. The points ev differs vastly between the 2. Your gl with OB is just luck and shouldn't be used as an example in decisions of logic
Open ControlsFair enough. Just mentioned the Obrien one to show it can come off!
Open Controls
this season i'll try to avoid taking hits for defender..in case any of my defender injured/not playing, i'll just let my subs come off the bench..
Open ControlsYeah the point about having injured defenders is when you have 3+ injured defenders which means you'd basically be playing with less than 11 men for that GW. In this situation some people are still adverse to taking hits but I don't really mind as the worst possible scenario is a net loss of a couple of points.
Open Controlsin my case, i took hit for terry -> evans in gw 17, and he only got 2pt for the next 2 games, though he scored 9pt in gw 20 (1-0 win away at norwich), then another 1 pt in gw 21..as i get him for -4, so total point from evans is 14-4 = 10
on the other hand, terry has 3 cs + 1 baps in the next 4 games after i get rid him (total: 19pt)
though to be fair, i got extra fund to upgrade brady -> walcott 😀Open ControlsOuch, doesn't sound too good when you look at it like that! I'm sure the Walcott points made up for it though 🙂
Open Controlsyep, points from walcott really helps me climb the ranks during that time..and this season i learned that it is important to have good bench in case any of your players are injured & you're reluctant to take hits..back in gw 19, rooney was injured, and i don't want to take hits to remove him, somehow rosenior came off the bench, double hull defender with chester (6-0 fulham)..another example of good bench is in gw 21, ki come off the bench for rooney again (12 points, 4-1 fulham again) 😆
Open ControlsSounds like you got lucky on a few occasions! 😉
Open Controls
Cabaye leaving left me with 9 playing today. I took an 8 point hit for Mata and Ward and came out 6 points ahead. It doesn't always work but to me, when you have an open position I think you fill it with a hit. Even if they only get 2 points then the hit only cost you 2. Kind of a 50% off on hits, if you will.
Open ControlsExactly my logic too, Soundlight!
Open ControlsGreat minds Innsie, great minds! Ha! Really, this season when I've taken multiple hits I've done wel,l or at least came out ahead. You shouldn't be afraid to use hits wisely. I kind of cringe when I read posts on here saying "you should never do this" or "always do that".
Open ControlsYeah I completely agree. Hits make the game more exciting too 😉
Open Controls
Gonna have Koscielny as the lone Arsenal player this weekend. Nervy times ahead
Open Controls
0,7M in bank with 1 FT and no idea to do with my front 7 this week?!
SIlva Hazard Mata Oscar Livermore
Suarez Aguero JRod
any suggestion?
Omly player I really want is Sturridge but it needs about 8-12p hit to get him @@, JRod still performs weel and good fixtures coming up tooOpen Controls
Some insane bargains out there. Noone 4.3, Chambers 3.9, Punchurface 4.9. Nice l'll stocking fillers.
Now. What to do with Goleman and Dawson?Open Controls
I think I'm holding Coleman. Have had him since week 1 so my sell price is probably about 5.8. Everton have a couple of tough fixtures in the next 4 game weeks but after that their run in is golden and I don't see too many other teams out there who look like must have right now; maybe a Chelsea player but their fixture list is tough too. Was looking at Spurs def. and their Europa ties throw a spanner in those works. Dawson may be worth holding onto though. I was looking at Chiriches
Open Controls
How does this team look going forward?
Mannone (Speroni)
Terry, Kosc, Distin (Parr, Chester)
Yaya, Hazard, Gerrard, Mutch/Ki
Suarez, Aguero, Adebayor
I know Chester is out for awhile; but wasting a trade on someone so far down the bench.. is tough.Open Controlslooks good, but is distin fit now to play next gw?
Open ControlsNot a fan of Distin as I had him for a string of 1s and 2s over Christmas. Looks good though.
Open ControlsMe neither; if I had any budget at all... he'd be gone.
I rarely have the chance to use transfers on defenceman; so he's kind of stayed on the roster for most of the year.
If I did use the 5.1m; who would you suggest going after?Open Controls
What to do with Remy? I'm thinking Remy to Lacina Traore because Lukaku is out
Thoughts? 8.2m budgetOpen ControlsApparently he's injured.
Open Controls
Is that Liam or Noel up front for the Saints in the team lists?
Open Controls
As a superstitious person this is very off setting to me. As it stands today I sit 999th in fpl for the United States. Can't wait for tomorrow to get off this number.
Open Controls
Thanks for missin' that penalty, Sturridge. I didn't need those 6 points anyways.......(4 points for goal, -2 for miss).
Open Controls
You didn't? You must have done well if you don't need the extra 6 points??
Nah sorry man, that stinks ... be happy that he did score 2 though!Open ControlsYeah. Guess I can't complain too much. I'm trying to make some ground up, however, so really coulda used the extra. Guess baby steps is the way to go.
Open Controls
I picked up Baines on my WC last week, was it a mistake? Didn't see the match vs. pool, but it doesn't sound like he played well.
Should I keep him for another week to see how he does in a favorable fixture vs. Villa?Open ControlsHe played decent enough, certainly not the worst on the pitch. As Whistle said, you can't expect much from Liverpool away. I wasn't and he stays in my team.
Open Controls
Is it worth doing Ozil to Mata now, folks? The Arse have Palace at home but fancy Mata to bea points machine and his stock will rise fast.
Open ControlsI think it's about worth it to do Ozil to anybody. As a frustrated owner, I may be a bit influenced when saying this, but I don't think he's worth the 9.9 anymore.
Open Controls
Dun do it unless that 0.3 or 4 tv plays a big part for u
Open Controls
So seems like Burner is not a sure starter for Cardiff ?
Open ControlsNo not since they picked up Hudson ... although he got injured last night which is concerning.
Open Controlsi didn't watch the match last night, but i think hudson was injured and replaced by burner..if hudson confirm to be out of the next game, burner may start though
Open Controls

1.4 in bank. Is it worth trying to work in Mata? Maybe Toure to Mata and upgrade wilshere or Jrod?Open Controlslose either gerrard or yaya to get mata as you already have aguero & suarez
Open Controls
Hey yo Dead Zone!
Many round here play FIFA 14? Just been knocking out some ultimate team and bought Suarez ... he's as good as real life, if not better! Can't stop scoring the goals ... little maniac!Open ControlsThink I'm ready to board the RVP train. The little boy inside me says it's a good idea.
Open ControlsIs that Januzaj?
Open ControlsHa.....good one. Think it was Rafael.
Open Controls
I'm not. £13+ no thanks. Mata enough for me.
Open Controls
Mata enough for me at the moment but will keep an eye on Rooney. Would have done Lallana and Rooney in for Sturridge & Silva if Rooney had started = got lucky
Open Controls
suarez n aguero are somehow are default choice for the front two, it'll be very expensive to include rvp in there
Open Controls
as santi's owner, yes 😀
Open Controls
I realize Sturridge is quality but I just don't care for the way he acts. Gerrard graciously gives him the penalty and he blows it. He hogs the ball and gives it away, missing a wide open Suarez, and then refuses to shake his managers hand. If I were Rodgers,I'dmake him train with the kids the rest of the week and not include him in the team this weekend.
Open Controlshe really wants that hattrick
Open ControlsHe had it. Can't ask for an easier chance than from the penalty spot.
Open Controls
As a Sturridge owner, I wouldn't say I'm not at least a little bit worried about possible ramifications.
Open Controlshe refused to shake his managers hand??? when and why?
Open Controlswho? and where?
Open Controls
With Sturridge and Suarez picking up where they left off, how many people are going for SAS front line now?
Open ControlsI'm goin' SRVPS
Open Controls
I have SARVP
Open ControlsThat's lovely stuff.
Open Controls
I personally disagree with the people who say it's too much Liverpool having Sturridge and Suarez. If Sturridge is scoring more points than other strikers, surely it's better to have him than someone not doing as well, irrespective of having Suarez too? I think the SAS frontline is really good, although JRod's doing the business as my 3rd striker atm.
Open ControlsI agree. I think you basically have to look at one position, look at the options for that position, and choose the one who'll get you the points. For me it's Sturridge Vs Giroud/Adebayor, and it feels like a no brainer.
Open Controls
Suarez, Aguero, Sturridge.
Open ControlsThink I'm going to stick with SRS for now, but I can see the allure. Would be a bit concerned about a possible Liverpool blank so I like going with just Suarez.
Open ControlsOoooops, meant ARS
Open Controls
Anyone else considering Huddlestone for Hull coverage at both end of the pitch?
Open Controls
I think that Sturridge will apologize. He's a pretty good character. I think the emotions of the derby just got to him. He was a bit selfish today but I don't blame him for wanting a hattrick in one of the biggest games of the year. Rodgers also has a pretty good relationship with the players so I'm sure he'll restore order in the camp.
Open ControlsYeah. Probably no biggie. I'd be embarrassed and frustrated too if I missed a derby hat trick by blowing a peno into outer space.
Open Controls
Sturridge was clearly upset at being replaced, but insisted after the match that he was annoyed at his own performance rather than his withdrawal, and Rodgers says that it was much ado about nothing.
“He was just still frustrated after the penalty," the Irishman explained. "He apologised to the group.
"You shouldn't disrespect anyone, in particular the supporters and your team-mates. But he hasn’t done that, he was just frustrated and was desperate to get on the scoresheet again.”Open ControlsPretty immature. Did you see how he celebrated that second goal like some Latin american? Pathetic.
Open Controls
Is Cazorla injured? he was subbed out 5 min before full time
Open ControlsWouldn't mind knowing the extent of this too...
Open Controls
Looking at my team,I could get RVP by replacing Yaya with Shelvey and Llana with Puncheon. That would give me:
Boruc/Mannone
Baker/Coleman/Azpi/Kosh/Ward
Shelvey/Mata/Oscar/Barkley/Puncheon
Aguero/Suarez/RVP
Worth doing that over the next couple of weeks or is it too top heavy? Provided RVP looks like he's getting his form back.Open ControlsNot worth it imo
Open ControlsYeah, I like more balance. May wait and do that later on if I need to for my ML
Thanks NTFMOT...Open Controls
too light in midf with shelvey, barkley n puncheon
Open ControlsI agree. Also, midfield goals are more valuable, as well as possible clean sheet points.
Open Controls
That seriously ruins your midfield!
Open ControlsThanks for all the comments guys!
Open Controls
When asked by reporters whether to expect any arrivals before the transfer deadline, the Frenchman replied: "I hope we have something to tell you."
draxler is possibly going to be a deadline day dealOpen Controls
Why's Lallana plummeting like a stone on TPS? Have I missed something?
Open ControlsI think a lot of people have been bringing Ramsey back in. I would think after today that trend should reverse. As a Lallana I'm glad they were shifting him out.
Open ControlsCos there are better alternatives and saint having some problem internally. And more impt is he never score last gw!
Open ControlsYes, there is the whole "what have you done for me lately" phenomenon on FPL. Have to bring in whoever scored this week.
Open ControlsDefinitely keeping lallana for me as ramsey and cabaye is out. Imo lallana is the best out of eriksen and AJ. Much more impt transfers to do like preparing for gw29
Open ControlsI agree. Lallana takes care of himself. Rather spend time on positions/players that aren't scoring.
Open Controls
You are looking at yesterday's numbers. TotalFPl froze and has not updated in hours. Lakeland actually being transferred in today.
Open ControlsTrue,he has +NTI on FISO.
Open Controls
how many bony's owners here?should i regret for getting bony in my wc team instead of ade?is his starting spot under threat from n'gog? 😆
Open ControlsNo way is his starting spot threatened by Ngog unless Swansea want to be relegated. Give the man a break, Suarez didn't score against Villa when you expected him to.
Open ControlsSwansea have very nice fixtures coming up. I'm trying to figure out who to bring in for them but usually end at Shelvey. Don't want to change my forwards now but I wouldn't mind a Swan in my team somewhere. If I owned Bony, 'd be disappointed after today but I wouldn't give up hope just yet. I think he'll score a few over the next 3-5 gameweeks.
Open ControlsWell Michu is back next week or so
Open ControlsIt''s crazy how I have totally forgotten about Michu. It would be nice to see him regain some form.
