With five fixtures remaining in Double Gameweek 37, the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) transfer market has a major influence on our members’ assessment of the data so far.
Arsenal’s big January signing is joined by a Crystal Palace pair in catching the eye, while we also assess Mohamed Salah’s recent decline in form ahead of Liverpool’s potentially vital home clash with Brighton.
I'd prefer to keep the first 2
Bad moves
Crazy
Save transfer this week?
yes and carry it over for 2 FT next year
Taps side of head with finger and winks knowingly
😉 😉 😉 🙂
Not with that team
Last hit of this season for me.
Pictures of Arnie training has made my Wednesday!
😎
Dilva to Arnie -4 a decent move? Haz to (S)alah already done.
no way jose
Silva done for the season presumably. Maguire or Schindler the alternatives. Still not decent?
Just what the Doctor ordered 😉
Could this be the comeback where we all get 100 points from the 2nd half of the dbgw and people go wild dancing in the streets?
I need 69 points from 8 (inc Kane captain) to get 100. You?
Mine too!

Biggest day of the season today.
Not even bothered if they all blank again.
I’m bothered
Anyone get an email about data protection from FFScout.
I think It strangly came to a different email address than the one I use.
The email address it came from is really long
Someone else posted that long email yesterday, not from FFS I guess
Deleted.
It wanted me to open it up in my browser. Weird
Think this will be for only members as they have banking details and personal info.
Non members just use email if i remember correctly.
What's with the really long obscure email address?
That might of been the email address connected to an old PayPal account
Not sure if it is legit or not so best to check with Mark or Mods.
This is us getting in touch with members and former members and asking them to sign up to a new mailing list so we can stay in touch.
After May 25th we can mail members about the service but we can't mail those users who haven't been members this season without new permissions.
It's nothing sinister.
The joys of GDPR
Thanks Mark
Can never be too careful
Took about 20 clicks to agree!
Did it? Should have been a couple and a respond to the email.
I didn't get anything. I guess they don't want me around.
We mailed former members only first. Pistolpeter obviously joined with a different email address in previous seasons so was on both lists.
Is the really long obsucure email address typical for security subscriptions ?
nothing has been done to email addresses, at some stage this email address must have been used to sign up with the site or newsletter.
I just meant the email address used to send us the email.
When I wasn't sure what the email was I just clicked to see the email address if the sender that's all and it's really long and obscure.
I'm not very techie so was just wondering that's all
oh apologies, i didn't realise you meant the sender. yeah that is a bit more obscure it should look something like via mail23.suw111.mcdlv.net
Yeah that's the one. Is there a reason for the obscure email address
its to help the receiving mail server work out if the sender is legit
Last few predicted city line up on blue moon forum all been the same.
Ederson
Walker • Kompany • Laporte • Mendy
****** KDB • Gundogan • Yaya *******

Personally can’t see sterling not starting.
That seems about right. Possibly not Kompany though, given injury.
Hopefully Otamendi over Kompany for another 9 pointer

Why would West Brom roll over final day? They have not rolled over so far under new manager. I know they’re relegated but palace save, it’s a nothing match. I do not expect palace to get a huge haul.
I don't think so either but Zaha is still one of the better options in his price range.
may give some of the youngsters and fringe players a run out with an eye on next season.
I’m not seeing it. Lambs to slaughter? That’s not a good way to end the season. They would want to end on a high.
See the Hot Topic about this. Lots are bringing Palace in but it could be tight
Final day of the season. Goals galore. WBA down. Palace in scintillating form at home lately. Palace will get at least 3.
Bookmarked. 🙂
I agree Fossit
http://en.brinkwire.com/301801/nmecha-scores-brace-as-man-city-hit-five/
Chances of this guy starting tonight?
Having invested my funds in Hazard as a pricey midfield differential instead of Jesus and TC Kane whilst rival has TC the City man, I can but hope.
Nope he's not starting:
https://twitter.com/gwhizz420/status/993902999566155776
Damn it
iwobi and sane or zaha and Arnautovic. (already have jesus and sterling)
second one
Z&A
If Son + Jesus play tonight, is this a good or bad move for 38?
Son + Jesus ->
A) Zaha, Auba (-4)
B) Salah, Giroud (-4)
C) Forget about it
B looks tempting but could backfire of course.
Just keep Son and Jesus tbh. Maybe find another way to get Zaha in though, great form and up front.
I asked this half way through the season and got some interesting responses. Who has any players still on their squad from GW1? You cant have ever transferred them out and back in again. Just King Mo for me!
Not so proud Maguire owner since gw 2 as close as I get.
None. Had Elliot for the longest
None - had Arnie and Kane week 1, and have them now- but transferred out and back in at some point. Salah since week 10.
Alonso
Just Salah!
None, but i am hit addicted so it wasn´t meant to be-)
Mo Salah till this current gw 37. Have got him back for gw38.
Only Salah for me as well
Fabianski served me well
None
Tosun (whu) + D.Silva (sou) --> Mane (BRI) + J.Ayew (SOU) for -4?
Looking like my only option at the moment. If Silva is going to play I think I won't make the move. Thoughts?
But I have zero Liverpool
I'm thinking of waiting and making transfers right before the deadline (if I want to make any) as the press conferences will give us vital info on lineups.. And injury updates etc.
Willian to start tonight?
Would love it
Nawwww
100% sure.
Going into the final GW with this lot;
Lewis Dunk
Wes Morgan
Andy King
Willian
Riyad Mahrez
Ash Barnes
Knowing this season just keep them all and you should be fine 😛
no
Haha someone's salty. Lighten up buttercup x
Zaha or Salah ?
Im actually tempted to go for Zaha instead of Mo and will if I end up chasing my ML rival in 38
Every rival I have has Salah and I don't. Probably wont next week either.
Which fixture will have the most goals in GW38? Reckon Huddersfield v Arsenal could see a few.
people taking hits just for the sake of it 🙄
but then again, why not 🙂
Maybe they followed this guys advice?
https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/05/07/three-new-signings-for-ffs/?hc_page=5#hc_comment_18170429
that was before we had the results of GW37 😛
and only one GW left so harder to pan out
How many hits have you guys taken this season? I'm on 58 and it has cost me
Transfers*
Ok so 25 hits? Nice cool -100
Would explain my rank! Also wasted my FH in GW10 and both WCs didn't do much for me.. Worst ever season so far 🙂 That is what I've learnt this season. Which is what I was supposed to have learnt last season 😉
11 hits x 4 = 44 points for my case, rank top 800 OR now. Personally I think too many hits is not a good strategy. It reflects that you focus more on short-term point potential of your players, and will easily may end up selling somebody you just brought in three or four gameweeks ago. However, buying anyone for too short period will be quite difficulty to justify the -4 you have paid for that player. Together with two wildcards and a freefit, the needs for hit are further diminished. Another reason to support less-hit strategy this season, is the slower pricing change. If the best players shoot up $0.3 every week too easily, hit is unavoidable, and worth to do at the beginning of season, to accumulate team value. But it's not the case this season.
58 hits?! What are you doing...
7 hits for me, -28
Total Transfers : 51
Total Points Hits : 76
Total Auto Subs : 18
Total Auto Subs points : 42
Total immediate points gained from transfers : 168
Not sure what to make of the 168 points gained tbh.
The immediate points gained may include points scored by the players you changed on your Wildcards and Free Hit.
Then I’ve made some bad moves for sure. Cheers
48 and still hanging on to top 20k (18k). I tracked hits vs points gained from hits and overall, +21 for the season (total points from incoming less hits less points from players moved out). So worth every hit point.
Fairy Nuff.
48 points from hits (12 hits)
2 hits
4 and they all paid off.
32 points worth of hits for me this season.
There's been a direct correlation between hits and rank with me. I'm just not very good at hit taking.
Last season I took around 80 points in hits and it went terribly.
About 7-9 is my usual most seasons though. I thin that's a good amount.
I remember your millions club last year 😛 then you had a decent end to the season... Next year I think I'll play the usual Jonty dullard card for a change 😀
Good luck. Slow and steady wins the race...well gets a high rank at least.
7 hits before gw37.10 with gw 37.
37 hits (-148)
1 pr. gameweek average 😀
OR 12K with 10 + (C)Kane to go
That is awesome... well played
Most of them worked very well - some did not 😀
Lost track though.
Would very much like to know how many ahead of me in the OR's have spent more than -148 points on transfers.
Gonna take 1 hit next week no matter what 😉
6 hits, 24 points. I'm not a big hit taker but thinking maybe I should take a few more next season.
Member Lampard? memberrr? Member Ronaldo???
13 hits (-52) , 46 transfers
Most of them didn't pay off. I am planning to minimize them next year. My goal was to spend no more than 30 points but couldn't achieved it. Nevertheless my season is going pretty well, currently at 7k, my best ever.
22 hits. My pre-season resolution was to take less than last season. I didn't. Very few have paid off. This week's -12 for 3 Swansea players the worst of the lot! When will I learn? It's a weird self-destructive compulsion.
i lost count when i tried to put my hit numbers together, but approximately 30-35 hits this season, 34 i think. I have found that if i play this game next year i will try to play it more dullard, as my first two whole seasons (the first one i started in GW3), i have been taking a lot of hits, and i like to try something new because i like to try out how good (or bad) i can play if i don´t take hits all the time.
9 hits
42 total transfers
100 pts so 25 hits I guess.
60 points.
40 of them since week 33.
20 of them in week 37.
25 hits, 100 points.
I have always been fine with taking hits but I think this season is special for me since most hits were successful, sitting in the top 4k now.
61 transfers, over 100 points in hits lost. Will definitely be more dullard next year as my hits very rarely seem to pay off.
40 points.
I've taken a eight point hit four times (!) and a four point hit twice.
20 of those points were for the blanks/doubles and they all paid off. Not bothering looking back at the other 20, but GW history tells me my GW ranking was pretty poor those weeks.
80 points hits
Top 7.5 k
Total of 11 hits:
- 5 hits before GW33 incl.
- 6 hits after that
DGW34, GW36, DGW37:
3x -8pts but all of them paid off.
48 points worth of hits.
Took 96 last year! Current rank is 20,000 places off what I finished last year.
6 for -24
15 hits taken, at a cost of 60 points - and every one of them resulted in a red arrow!
But perhaps the red arrows might have happened in those game-weeks anyway, and at least some of them might have had a good effect in the long run.
I took a 20 point hit in GW13 and dropped from 875k to 1.031m, but then jumped back up to 518k in GW14.
Later I took an 8 point hit in GW17 and dropped from 718k to 812k, but this was followed by 4 green arrows and a rise to 90k by GW21.
It's been quite a roller-coaster of a season!
I've taken 8 hits (-32), in the top 300 in the world.
I think this misses cause and effect though. People who take less hits do so because the players they've picked are scoring, and so there's less need to move these players and take hits. Either through luck or good management, I'd wager the top 100 every season will have taken very few hits purely because they've picked the right players, not because they've taken fewer hits.
Basically, fewer hits is a pleasant side effect of a good rank, not its cause.
This is so true. Often overlooked by many
This. I've taken 15 hits, but only 1 hit in the first 14GWs. At which point was mostly playing with a sturdy back 4 or 5, which meant I didn't feel the need to pounce on attacking bandwagon's with FOMO, and it allowed me to save 2FTs more often. I wasn't hit-averse; I just didn't need to take hits.
Brilliantly put.
49 transfers so 12 hits (-48) at 72k. Probably a few less hits than usual
The -4s worked out more greens than reds. The -8s however have all been red. On -8 this week and need Kane to do well now to give me a greenie
108 points. So 27 transfers.
Not worked though,will be lucky to finish top 100 k.
Need to bring that hit count down.
Much better than last season though,spent 212 points in hits last season,which was my first.
Learning the hard way. Lol.
15 hits 60 points.
I’m top of all 4 of my MLs so very happy with this years performance. 16.5k OR.
I see way to many teams persevere with dross like Richarlison and Walcott because they’ve got bigger fish to fry. I’m all for hits.
Total Points Hits : 48
25% of that was this week.
24 hits taken this season. Will have to see how many paid for themselves though
Compared my hits with red/green arrows 😉
Hits in total 37 (-148 points):
11x -4 hits: 3 green arrows and 8 red arrows
9x -8 hits: 7 green arrows and 2 red arrows
2x -16 hits: 2 red arrows
Total: 10 green and 12 red arrows in the weeks lost points due to transfers
-80 in total
12 x 4 pt hits, 4 x 8 pt hits
Around 40K right now - last season I took -75 in total and finished 9.9K, and the season before -64 and I finished 6.5K.
I should really calm down with the hits!
Total immediate points gained from transfers : 256
Zero hit man reporting in! I might make 38 this week to make up for it lol
Nicely managed. Top 10k by week 4 probably helped a touch
Thanks. Hopefully if Kane delivers might be back there at the weekend!
overall this season -160
32 hits so far of which about 6 were totally unjustifiable. I may take fewer hits next season or I may take more, depending on the volatility of the price change algorithm. There are far more important issues in the game than hit frequency. People have a skewed idea about hits due to the managers at the very top taking relatively few of them, forgetting if you are at the top it is unlikely you will have had much cause to take hits.
After seeing Peters season last year, I went into this season looking to take hits. Something new for me. Taken 88 points worth of hits and am +161 points immediately gained after transfers not including fh and wc. So 73 points better. But having a terrible season. So I think they were mostly to catch up rather than being ahead of the game. Looking forward to being dullard again next season.
104 points in hits.
Poor start, WCed in GW3 (Iwobi, Zaha etc etc)
Didn't break into top 1M til GW!7....Now at 70k OR.
thats well rescued...
5 hits (20 points)
8 here (32 Pts)
72 points of hits (18 times), 51 transfers total. I like hits.
11 hits costing 44 points here, for an OR of 1600
4 for -16, non of which worked out!
64pts. Top 100.
51 transfers (-72pts)
Lots of injuries first half of the season.
120 points in hits this season
59 transfers
22 hits x 4 = -88 pts
OR 570
14 hits, out of which 4 were taken in the last 2GW to block my rival. Overall rank slided from 33 to 90.
My best spell was between GW 13 to 22 where I took no hits. Jumped from 17k to top 300.
I agree that hits meant transfers were made with short term outlook. Analyze your hits to see if those transfers lasted more than 4 GW on your team.
11 hits x 4 = 44 points for my case. 2199 total points (still have DDG and JLing to play DGW37), OR currently 25,696. I play to minimize hits as best I can.
FPL need to add more strikers to the game. Who should be classed as forwards next season?
Arnatovic and Zaha should obviously be reclassified. Should players like Salah and Sterling also be reclassified to give more options up front?
Do they? There are only 3 striker slots but 5 mid spots. Those 4 mids you mentioned are amongst the most popular on here, what midfield options would we have left? Wingers are midfielders unless they do actually play at striker. Arnie and Zaha I can accept
Agree with Lenin. We’d be stuck with holding mids.
I think it’s too early to call Arnie and Zaha strikers after a few months upfront. What happens if Palace & West Ham buy new strikers in the summer? Arnie and Zaha will get dumped on the wing
Im not saying that all wingers or players that have played as a forward should be listed as forwards. I think Zaha should be listed as a forward, but not Townsend.
However, this season I have been playing with 1 or 2 forwards most of the time because of lack of options from teams with no forwards like West Ham, Crystal Palace and to some degree Stoke. It could also be because many teams has been rotating strikers more then usual this season.
Best defender for GW38? (6.8max)
A - PVA (H to WBA)
B - Bellerin (A to HUDD)
C - Otamendi (A to SOU)
D - Van Dijk (H to BRI)
E - Moses (A to NEWC)
Thanks.
D
Willian to Zaha? -4.
Hearing this is the Man City team tonight - not good -.-
Ederson
Danilo Stones Laporte Mendy
Gundongan Toure Fernandinho
Sane Jesus B Silva

Who told you?
Head to head page who knows the news sometimes on Facebook. I’m hoping it’s not true cause I have sterling as captain
Sounds reliable
They’ve been wrong before so I’m hoping it’s the case
I've only got this posted some time ago...
https://twitter.com/gwhizz420/status/993902999566155776
Sterling triple cappers don boxing glovers
This would actually be magnificent only have Jesus myself 🙂 can't see it though ....
As a Kompany and David Silva owner on a BB that sounds horrible
David Silva is in Valencia to spend time with family mate 100% our
Yeah not looking good. Maybe back next week though? Hopefully Kompany is in..
Dreadful midfield
Yes - really hope KDB starts after early sub
Yaya can't play more than 30 minutes anyway, and not like tht midfield will support Jesus in scoring.
A dull match inc.
Rival has Sterling (TC).. I'll take this!
That bald headed mf called Pen 😡
Teller is the one with the receding hairline.
What was the Arnie news? Can't seem to find it from today's presser.
Wasn’t any from Moyes which I guess is good. Was pictured training today as normal.
Thanks!
6 years, 1 month agoSterling+Son--->Sanchez(C)+Mili? Chasing in my ML. Cheers!
