22 hits sounds like way to much

That's 3 hits every 5 games. Definitely high.

It’s a cliche but ‘every hit on its merits’

Different managers make different styles work so there is no right or wrong.

Personally I think whilst you get really solid at FPL try to take as few as possible. I normally average 10-15 (so 40-60 points worth) and finish top 100k (or better) every season.

There are a lot better players than me who take a lot more hits and there are a lot better players than me who take a lot less. Find the style that works for you.

I’m a bit happy but tried to lay off them this time. 13 in total. Nothing wrong with a justified hit and I’ve made mistakes both doing them and not doing them.

24 hits here (96pts), rank just over 50k.

Don't look at the cost, judge it on the gains. If it costs you -4 but you gain more than 4 points more than if you didn't make the transfer, then you have benefited.

I like trying to save a FT which then enables me to make 3 changes for one hit in a particular GW. Like a mini-WC which allows you to restructure your team. Simply taking hits week on week can be a waste unless they are taken with a longer term view.

I'm on 28 of hits so far and just over 1k rank and always have a quite conservative approach to hits. E.g. getting in high EO who could do serious damage, or getting in a player showing v. strong form issues to fix in team or to get a playing player in a BGW. More aggressive approaches can work equally well. If can see a longer term gain from taking the hits then go for it, and try to avoid the hits which could have been avoided by planning a bit further in ahead.

Good rank in a challenging season.

The last seasons I had:
20/21 - 400k (88 point transfer cost)
19/20 - 76k (60 point transfer cost)
18/19 - 12k (64 point transfer cost)
17/18 - 37k (100 point transfer cost)
16/17 - 10k (??)

This year has been a tricky one for me, although the hits not necessarily the cause.

I'm not hit averse so it's not minor, but more fun personally. Based on the above 60ish seems like a sweet spot, but you can go over and under and still do better based on others here.

I took 20 hits so far = -80 points, OR 37k

I am a punter and focus on winning on money leagues and not chasing OR

Forster also 50/50 I would be thinking -8 for Bruno to Son/Bale/Mahrez, Fofana to Digne and Iheanacho to DCL. You should make hits back

I own him for some dumb reason - but man he deserved it.

They own him and need a playing GK for the blank.

A with Son I think. Not sure if Bale & Mahrez will get 3 games and they are prone to early subs.

Unfortunately don't think Forster is meant to start

Why Bamford, he's been awful for months?

Sometimes? lol

Sometimes? All the time.

I don't think it's actually bad. It's just they use it dreadfully in the PL. Look at the Madrid v Seville game last night. They took their time but not over dramatic in order to come to the correct decision. That wouldn't have happened in the PL. PGMOL will come out with some tweak to pretend that Areola decision was correct.

A for me

Can’t roll a transfer when free hitting and you can’t make a transfer first.

If you free hit you’ll start next week with the team you have at the start of this week and with 1 free transfer.

Had crossed my mind.

Risk of Darlow getting a nostalgic GW38 game?

Like it. I’ve just brought him in, but he can sit on the bench for a week while hopefully Forster plays Fulham

Yes

Not convinced Ant is the right option.

But many are

Yes from me

I like C.

If you do A or B would you be getting Bruno back for Fulham?

9 I think.

Wanted to say both, but if must Raphinha for certainty of mins

It’s ridiculous

Oh dear

Always risks with this sort of DGW, TGW

I saw guys with 90 yesterday so assume someone’s got their tonne?

BB?

78 with 18 to play. On BB which has contributed just 5 points, with only Guiata still to play.

71 with 15 left (13 assuming Maguire is done)

some killer scores here - must be huge green arrows on the way.
I'm 68 w/ 10 to play (no hits), bump from OR738 > 637.
Would be thrilled to maintain a green by the end of the gw.

61 with 14 left to play

83 (-4) with 15 left to play. No chip played

GW30 1G 1A = 1 bap
GW34 1G = **** all
GW35 1G = **** all

... disgusted

tbf ; other than getting a lucky deflection that he put away was he up to much?

Alanis Morrisette will have something to say about that no doubt!

I'm sure that's very deliberate tbh
