Top 10k managers set for chip extravaganza in Gameweek 38+

Just under a third of Fantasy Premier League managers inside the top 10k are preparing to use their Free Hit chip on the final day of the season.

With 2.6% of them deploying it for Gameweek 37+, that brings the total usage of that chip at this level to 68.9% with one round left to go.

That means 31.1% are saving the Free Hit for Gameweek 38+, a sizeable number and certainly enough for significant change to take place in the top 10k on the final day of the campaign.

Meanwhile, an additional 2.2% of managers at this level will be lining up with a completely brand new squad on Sunday, considering that’s how many of them are yet to play their second Wildcard.

As well as a large number of top 10k line-ups expected to fluctuate between the final two Gameweeks of the season, there will be a noteworthy number of Triple Captains in play.

2.5% of them used the enhanced armband for Gameweek 37+, bringing the total for the season to 91.7%. Therefore, 830 managers from the top 10k are likely to be heading into the final day of the campaign with their skipper armed with a Triple Captain chip.

What all of those numbers boil down to is that 54.3% of top 10k managers have no exhausted their chip supply for the 2019/20 season.

It means that 45.7% of them will have the ability to deploy one on the final day of the season.

As already mentioned, this is a significant portion of the top 10k managers, which could lead to plenty of rank changes in the upper echelon.

Bringing things back to Gameweek 37+, it is the Manchester United attack that will determine the narrative of this season’s penultimate round of action.

Bruno Fernandes (£9.1m) has amassed the highest level of support ahead of West Ham’s visit to Old Trafford, 35.8% of the top 10k managers handing him the armband.

The Portuguese international has now broken the 100-points mark after just 12 games in a Manchester United shirt, which is probably why the top 10k see him as the more reliable option.

However, those who have backed Anthony Martial (£8.5m) can feel relatively secure going into Gameweek 37+ too. The Frenchman has delivered in every home match since the Premier League restart, averaging 16 points per game in that time. The fact that just over 30% of the top 10k made the same decision to captain him, they are somewhat protected in that respect too.

Fernandes and Martial are the only two players to boast more than 100% effective ownership at this level for Gameweek 37+, on 131.9% and 100.8% respectively.

Despite proving unfortunate to blank in his last two outings, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) has only convinced 7.6% of the top 10k to back him for the captaincy.

However, those who felt confident enough to do so will probably enjoy how few managers handed Salah the armband. Considering how poor Chelsea’s defence has looked on the eye recently, there does appear to be an opportunity for the Egyptian’s backers to make up real ground if he delivers the big haul he has been promising in recent weeks.

Martial’s increasing popularity in the top 10k can be spotted by his showing in the Free Hit squads at this level.

The Frenchman was chosen by 95.1% of such managers, more than Fernandes (91.3%) and more than any other player in any other position.

The Free Hitters were big fans of Manchester United, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) both making it into this matrix of most popular assets chosen on them.

They were clearly put off by Manchester City’s awkward FA Cup schedule though. Despite a favourable trip to Watford, Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) is the only Citizen to be given serious consideration by the top 10k Free Hitters this week.

Gabriel Jesus (£9.8m) has suffered a similar fate in the overall ownership at this level.

He was the third-most-popular forward in the top 10k for Gameweek 36+ but has dropped out after the latest deadline.

Replacing him in the template is Raúl Jiménez (£8.1m). The Wolves forward netted against Burnley and faces a Crystal Palace defence that has conceded 15 goals since the Premier League returned.

Outside of that switch, there has not been a tremendous amount of fluctuation in the template between the two most recent Gameweeks, perhaps suggesting that some top 10k managers are holding a free transfer ahead of the final round of the season.

In midfield, Christian Pulisic (£7.4m) has dropped from 50.5% to 32.9% ownership at this level, leapfrogged by Salah, although the Egyptian only rose from 43.12% ownership to 43.2%.

The only other relatively major change is in defence, where Serge Aurier (£5.1m) has replaced Wan-Bissaka in the top-five, the right-back perhaps suffering as managers try to realign how they are tripled-up on Manchester United assets.

    Evening all

    Really stuck what to do on this. Willing to take a -4 as I’m chasing in my ML

    Team:

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Kiko
    Salah KDB Martial Fernandes
    Ings Jesus Greenwood

    Subs: Button Holgate Lascelles Hayden

    £3.5ITB 1FT

    thinking maybe Auba and/or Sterling in?

    1. redsallstars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think triple city attack essential this week. Sterling sounds good. Headache on who to take out though

  2. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Will probabpy be trailing ML leader by 15-20 points at the end of this GW

    Very sinilar teams

    Is this crazy for a hit?

    Bruno and KDB -----> Sterling(c) and Antonio (already have Dilva)

    Worst case scenario is i remain behibd him

    1. redsallstars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah worth a go, have to go for someone different for chance to overtake them. My rival doesn’t have sterling so it’s him captain this week and next and hope for the best

    2. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm in similar place. Decision at this point is go for ML or hold OR. Depends what you value you more and where you are.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Dont care about OR. Ml and cash on line is prioirty. Gap with 3rd is too big no real threat there

        Just trying to figure out the best options to lose. I think bruno and kdb are less threatening than martial and Salah

    3. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      not crazy. Raz could easily haul

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Geez, high risk, raz looked terrible, I’d prefer kdb

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Problem is he has KDB too. Other option is salah but i think he is more likepy to get a big score

        Its basically just rolling the dice and hoping at this point. Sterling could get a few even without form

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah sterling is a good shout then

  3. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    ML rival will be using his TC in GW38 while I use a FH.

    In that scenario would you rather have the same captain as him (guaranteeing you get exactly 2/3rds of whatever captain points he gets) and rely on the FH to make up the difference and more?

    Or would you prefer to have a different captain (with greater reward/punishment depending on who outperforms who)?

    1. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      are you ahead or chasing? What's the points difference?

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Currently neck and neck. Would guess one of us will be max 10 points ahead by the end of this GW.

        1. Davemc23
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I think your free hit is the better chip but yeah if you know who he's going to captain you could do the same to cover as the rest of your team should outscore his

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Depends entirely on who is leading and by how many

      1. lordkippe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If you lead by 5 + points, I would copy his captain. If not, go with who you think will get the most points

    3. One Man
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same captain providing you'll not to far behind. But you can only guess who he'll captain.

  4. Davemc23

    RMFHT

    Pope

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Frank will want him vs wolves imho, more worried about him being benched v Liverpool

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Guess I'll be playing him then

          1. Davemc23
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            thanks. Could do Antonio>fodder and diop>robbo and go 4-3-3 either

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Wouldn’t do that

          2. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            He played real well at Molineux

    2. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso vs traore will be disaster for frank..

      1. acidicleo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        And antonio could be on the beach by then... otherwise good team..

  5. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years

    When do the tables update? I want to see myself go on top my rival after since GW25

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      When you wake up 🙂

  6. TorresMagic™

    Early thoughts, don't really like the team.

    Pope (McCarthy)
    Alexander-Arnold, Egan, Doherty (Alonso) (Taylor)
    Sterling, David Silva, Fernandes, Martial (Foden)
    Ings, Rashford, Jiménez

    1 FT, 0.5 in bank.

    Looks like a hit or 2 to finish off.

    Cheers for any ideas.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think your are in better shape for 38 than 37, wouldn’t be too rasher to hit myself

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Wouldn’t be too eager to hit, myself*

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          What if it got you Auba instead of Alonso? I’m thinking Alonso to 4.0 and Rashford to Auba

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Jimi would be a better one to sell, I love rash right now

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        3 defenders including Egan vs Ings not great.
        Hit needed if I want a different MC player.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn’t shy away from SHU vs SOU personally but Ings is hungry

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don't see that much wrong with it tbh, TM.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Guess I compare it to a FH team and see the differences.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling > Salah and cap him.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Need an injury for that.

    Early thought. Stick to plan?
    Foden -> Dilva

    1. The Suspended One

      Too early but looks good

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Cheers!

    2. sully29

      If he looks like playing then sure.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pep roulette and all that but David Silva should start in his last league match for sure

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't make a lot of changes there even if chip was available.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years

        Encouraging words. Thanks!

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Jesus > Auba

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Certainly an option if it looks like Jesus won't start

  8. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I take it us final week free hitters are activating the bad boy now to save a penny or two?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Might as well I suppose. Every bit helps.

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        But mooooooom

        Ok I'll pick a few guys

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I did and then realized probably all the rises are inflated

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yea they probably are a bit, but I'd imagine the top 3/4 will go up anyways

        I just don't wana be .1 short of the team on Saturday

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Been that way all season for me, didn’t chase value early for the first time this year and it totally backfired

        2. Davemc23
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I just did it for this exact reason. People I might want like Pieters, Jesus, Wood going up and players in my team such as vardy, Taylor, greenwood going down so could be a decent swing in terms of value to hit it early

        3. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yea I chase cash at the start and take some aggressive hits, then cool the jets in Feb/March... but usually builds team value to cash in in moments like these.

          I transferred in 2 guys just in case. I doubt it will make much difference but you never know, I'm not in the mood to make the team now but don't wana be short!

          Might save a few pennies though. I think I'm set for tonight... just got some lads in who might go up

  9. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Interesting stat Lei vs Man.Utd could both qualify with draw(on GD) last game if both win this GW and Chelsea lose to Pool.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think if that happens, I can see both teams playing conservatively for a draw.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You'd certainly expect the game to fade out in the second half if they find themselves in that situation.

      2. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah too much at stake.
        Remember long time ago in CL group stage i had Galatasaray to win 1.30 but the other game in their group was in their favour and they spend last 20min of match on center standing...end up 0-0 and both qualified.

    2. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Spurs win

  10. dshv

    On FH ?

    Martinez
    Pieters lamptey baldock
    Salah antonio dilva sterling
    Kane jesus auba

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years

      Would downgrade forward and upgrade all 3 in defense

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Def needs work

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Downgrade Kane to improve the back.

    4. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      see my team above for an alternative. Similar but with better defence/keeper but no kane. I like it though

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      All out attack could work tbf

      no

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The GW is long and full of uncertainty Tony. I'd suggest you give it a rest until the GW is over.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Just some early thoughts boss

        You’re right tho!

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Long and full of horrors you mean 😀

  12. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is DeBruyne out for -4 nuts? (If I want sterling) Salah C so not moving him on...

    1. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It's a bit sideways

  13. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    2FTs and TC in gw38. Willing to take a hit, so thinking Vardy, Pulisic and --???-- could be dropped. Thinking maybe Trent, Doh or Jim. Thoughts?

    Pope, Martin
    Trent, Doh, Saiss
    Salah, KDB, Pulisic, Bruno
    Vardy, Greenwood, Jimenez
    (Martin; Aurier, Douglas Luiz, Holgate)

  14. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FHers, how many Man United players are you going to have this week?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nill.

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d have 3

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on how this week plays out. As discussed above, a draw might do both United and Leicester. In which case I'd expect a low scoring game.

      Would probably be Bruno for coverage and Greenwood for structure. That would be the max though.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Seconded. Very much agree.

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      3

      1. Davemc23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        0. And I'm a United fan

    5. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably just Martial. He'll make Morgan go roundabouts all game.

    Surely DCL is due a haul before the season ends, right?

    1. GertJan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I put him last on my bench...

      Have you seen Everton play recently? 😛

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don't see it.

    3. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have him on the bench and need his haul on final day to catch ML leader

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      I am avoiding Everton at all cost.

      Nobody

    2. waldo666

      I can't entertain Everton atm, look all at sea.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i did actually but too many better options in midfield

  19. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I was just gonna do KDB Foden out for Silva Antonio -4 seeing Auba play today makes me think he should get brace against Watford so should I do Alonso Fernandez Ings out for Pieters Silva Auba -8

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Way too early for all that

  20. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Will Dilva rise? I have just enough to bring him in today but want to wait for Norwich game

  21. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hopefully Dilva doesnt come on vs watford

    Not that its going to make much difference with dcl first sub

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i think he will start vs Norwich.

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have Bardsley first sub.
      I hope so much for 0mins but unlikely as hell with 5subs and esp if Pep wants to rest KDB after 70 job done

  22. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    GW37,
    Jesus starts, Sterling benched.

    GW38
    Sterling starts, Jesus benched.

    Let's see if this is how it pans out.

  23. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years

    God damn it Pieters!

    Couldn't stomach double Burnley.

    Would like 12 points from Lamptey please.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Considered a hit to have him first on bench then slapped myself for considering

      1. Davemc23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        same. Ugh

  24. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years

    was all set getting auba not so sure now. will arteta risk him ?

  25. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Does anyone have the stats on how KDB does with vs. without Dilva playing? Seems like he does worse, but don't remember the numbers.

  26. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez Vardy to Silva Auba?

    1. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes and no. Mahrez could outscored silva easily. However, I have silva and auba in my FH team so I like them as picks

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      yes

  27. jdp219

      • 8 Years

      Kane

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        must agree

    2. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Personally, I would prefer ings and spend the extra cash elsewhere

    3. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can't see many clean sheets on final day so going with a cheap defence!

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2 cheap Burnley defenders

    5. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ings regardless

  29. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez or DSilva
    For my trip MC mids

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      DSilva

    2. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dilva. Last game. Will be captained by many. Expect mahrez to either not start or be off by 60 mins or so

    3. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      D Silva swan song

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dave Silva has to come in and be capt due to his service over the years

  30. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A sad state of affair and a testament to how far this site has fallen when you are apparently no longer allowed to call out casuals for the way they play the game.. Very unlikely that I will buy a membership here next season the way this place is being run nowadays

    1. Davemc23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Elaborate. I feel like you need to vent

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I pointed out that if you still have Free Hit you are a casual and its the final proof that this season has been the season of the casual that apparently almost 1 third of mangers in the top 10k are casuals who still have the Free Hit chip. Apparently this opinion is enough reason to get your post deleted on here nowadays. Absolutely atrocious moderation to remove an honest opinion (probably because the mod in question is a casual with FH left...)

        1. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Didn't know it got deleted

          Free speech it's your constitutional rights!

        2. Jealous Viper
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Why are you still a casual if you have your Free Hit available?

        3. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Dont agree with ur point but ludicrous that it was removed

        4. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          It doesn't sound like your post should have been removed, but I've just activated my FH and I'm on course for back-to-back top 1k finishes. If that makes me a casual, then maybe more of us should be casuals...

        5. MosF94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I think deleting your post was absolutely wrong, but also think your point is absolute nonsense. I had saved my FH, before lockdown, waiting for a BGW, as many people had done. I decided early on after that I would like to FH in 38, because we'd know who has what to play for, and also because the midweek GW 37 fixture (assuming Man City got to the FA Cup semis, which they did) should give us a decent idea who will start vs Norwich, depending on who gets rested next game. Also because I'll never probably use a chip in 38 again, and because I tend to struggle in 38 and I'd like to stop the rot...

          Why does FH 38 suggest casualness, then? Almost a third of the top 10k look set to play theirs this week

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Casual response 😆

      1. Davemc23
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don't think having the free hit is casual at all. I'm in my 12th season and I'm playing it this week

        1. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Same

    3. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I was all set to play the FH the week after the season was postponed when there was only about 4 games on. Once it restarted I think a lot of people on here agreed that 38 was the best week to play it. Don't think your opinion warrants the post being removed though!

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don’t always agree with your mentality or comments, however, you’re correct re: moderation these days. Sadly I think this is also enough to deter me buying membership again next season.

    5. The Chosen One
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm never been outside 60k in 10years and playing it last gw, so I must be a casual then. Considering you lose a free transfer doing it during the season and the covid wildcard, id like to hear your logic?

    6. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Casual is a derogatory term to describe players who get success through the luck f following the herd rather than skill, so maybe the moderators are only interested in supportive and positive comments in their community?

      Maybe the old adage "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" applies?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Casual is a term to describe someone who plays mostly for fun and doesnt put much time into the game, nothing negative about it.. Thats the majority of players.. if you think its derogatory thats on you.. Playing Free Hit in the last game week of the season is pretty casual, most rotation heavy week of the year, and this year some of the top teams have even more reason to rotate than usual as well.

        I dont think any serious web sites are being moderated based on "old adages" lol... You can find ones that apply to literally anything you want...
