Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Man City

Make transfers, wait for the rises. Then activate FH later in the week.

Cheers, Geoff!

But player price changes aren't reflected in the bank balance, so it seems a bit cloudy to me 😀

Waste of time. People will keep asking this.

Little example as people still won't understand this

FH Chip

Activating your FH chip is basically like taking over a friend's team for the week. You can do whatever you want with it and price ranges and price drops will occur as they always do. 

Come gw36, forget your 'friends team. It's gone. Any value you lost or gained on players is gone with the team you just fielded and you'll be back with your own original team (as if you had not made any transfers for one week, except you won't have 2 transfers).

Think this sums it up for anyone having difficulty understanding.

Captain Hindsight (Impersonator)

GW35 was always going to be the most popular FH week

This should clearly have been a HT and Article a week or so ago...rather than cramming the night of...

Valuable £££ to be lost/gained...

If I sell a riser on a FH will I get that price up?
For ex. Player X is 10.0 and he will rise twice in that week.
Will I get that 0.1 from that?

Little bit late with my post so will put it here

So nervous and all those FH chip questions really makes me even more pissed
So please put this somewhere so I dont have to look those questions anymore:)

So when you click on FH...
...your current/old team is freezed and you get it again the GW after that FH GW
...all price moves on your current/old players count during that period
...after FH GW you have only 1 FT (as per usual)

...you can play with that FH team all week(until GW starts)
...and you have your current/old team Selling Value to spend
...if you transfer out Salah on FH you can only get his SV
...if you change your mind and want him back you have to pay current value (Purchaising Price)
...if you bring some player (lets say Sterling) while on FH and he rose by 0.2 you can sell him and gain that 0.1 profit
...but those changes WONT affect your money/SV/team value when your old team is back after that FH GW

Just to add to this I asked ISM these questions previously:

If I chose to make transfers as normal until next Friday, taking points hits as I go and then activate the FH on Saturday, will I benefit from any price rises gained up until Saturday morning (the point when the chip is activated?)

In other words, it is a better strategy to activate the chip late so that price changes are reflected in my line-up before activation.

As I understand it, once activated, my squad will not benefit from any rises gained from players brought in.

They answered...

"There is no benefit to be gained, you squad, including bank balance goes back to how it was at he start of the gameweek."

So you can play the market with a Free Hit chip active, but only for players you don’t want to go with in your Free Hit team, and only for your Feee Hit week.

So I’ve made a bit of a blunder on FH here haven’t I? I had Kane, Lukaku and Willian all a rise away from gaining me SV and look like rising tonight.
I’ve sold them and activated FH. Even though it doesn’t affect me in the big picture (come 36 when I get team back) It affects me during this week, as if I’d have waited until they rose tonight, I’d have had an extra .3 to play around with on my FH this week. Is that right?

Just adding to this discussion with what I have discovered after doing some separate research...

It seems that if you do a couple of transfers now, then play the free hit chip later this week, those initial players that you brought in will not be there when you go back to your 'non free hit' team next week.

The bigger issue, though, is that if you took a -4 or -8 and didn't play the Free Hit Chip whilst making those initial transfers, you still lose the points! I've done a bit of reading up about this and it seems like sloppy programming or an oversight (which may have been rectified now), but wanted to warn people.

So you cannot avoid your original team rising or falling.

You may as well activate FH as soon as possible and try to gain value on this new team (e.g. If Jesus goes up 0.2, you earn 0.1. You can sell him for a 0.1 profit to spend in that gameweek).

Wait so it’s better to activate ur FH chip right before deadline right? But take as many hits throughout the week depending on the price rises?

Can someone clarify for me. If I use my 1 free Gameweek transfer to put a player in that will play twice in GW37. Then I the next day for example play my free hit and change all players To best suit GW35. When it resets after GW35 ends does the play I put in before using the free hit revert back too?

Just wondering if there is away to use that 1 free transfer with GW37 in mind before losing it to the free hit if I just used the free hit straight away?
