Why I’m changing my transfers approach with time running out on FPL season

In Fantasy Premier League, timing is everything. And that mantra becomes even more important as the season winds to a close.

With just six Gameweeks left of 2019/20, my entire decision-making process starts to change, in regards to teams to target, when to play my chips and which players to spend precious transfers on.

For example, Liverpool winning the Premier League last week has been a much-discussed subject in relation to Fantasy. Will their assets play differently with the long-awaited title in the bag? Well, let’s not forget the title-race was effectively finished long before the lockdown anyway.

For me, there are much bigger issues to discuss when it comes to handling the end of this strange and unprecedented season, not least the ability to make quick and aggressive decisions between now and Gameweek 38+ if you want to make a late charge up the rankings.

The unlimited transfers and Double Gameweek that accompanied the Premier League restart felt like an unexpected bonus chip. Thankfully, I put it to good use, in combination with Bench Boost and the fall-back of a second Wildcard. I managed to score 124 points and cut my rank in half. That’s the sort of thing I want to be doing as often as possible when I still feel like more teams have something to play for.

I couldn’t rest on the laurels of my big Gameweek 30+ green arrows for too long due to the short turnaround, and a new squad staring at me from the transfers page. 

The team as a whole performed well albeit for a Bruno Fernandes (£8.7m) captain fail but that didn’t prevent me from scoring 200+ points, back-to-back.

Had it not been for the FA Cup games over the weekend, I would have almost certainly used my remaining chip, Free Hit, for Gameweek 32+ because, as I said, I like the idea of making quick-fire aggressive decisions to string together consecutive rank rises.

andys-gw33-article 3

However, I couldn’t take the risk this time around, as I felt Free Hitting in Gameweek 32+ would involve loading up on players that had an FA Cup game and then a Premier League outing so soon afterwards. 

As an aside, this sort of thing shows that every remaining Gameweek has a different set of variables to those that come before and after it. 

So, rather than looking at the final games as one block, I plan on viewing them in separate sprints. 

Firstly, the primary focus for me is to strike while the iron is hot. I do want to use my Free Hit chip as soon as possible and I feel that there are favourable fixtures in Gameweek 33+.

→ Which of these 2019/20 matches saw only five shots registered, the fewest recorded in a Premier League game since detailed shot collection began?

Manchester United host a woeful Bournemouth side, Liverpool will welcome relegation-threatened Aston Villa to Anfield while Chelsea and Watford do battle at Stamford Bridge. With those three fixtures, I could form the spine of an excellent Free Hit squad, which I would hope could gain further ground. No doubt, the risk of rotation will be present once again but I feel that will increase further for each remaining Gameweek, especially as more and more teams lose motivation to either qualify for Europe or save themselves from relegation.

Secondly, the Gameweeks leading up to the penultimate Gameweek will rely massively on my wildcard team holding up. I also have two free transfers at hand after not making any changes this weekend. I will reluctantly take hits if I have to but I’m hoping that most of my players are either likely starters or still have something to play for. 

Thirdly, I am treating Gameweek 38+ as a separate entity altogether. By then, a lot of the European and relegation position battles would have been all but settled and I would need to think very carefully on my final moves.

Hasenhuttl to aid Ings' quest for the Golden Boot as Watford's FPL assets flop

I have generally not been a fan of short-term/one-week punt transfers in FPL. The game is, after all, a marathon and not a sprint. So, with each team only having at least half a dozen games left the one thing that I don’t want to do is waste unnecessary transfers. Anyone I buy now will have to be justified as someone I am happy to have in my team until the end of the season. 

I am sure this mindset could cost me a few bandwagon players but I don’t think it’s worth avoiding them in the interest of maximising my remaining transfers. I must be prepared to start all players from subsequent transfers in almost all remaining games and feel confident enough that the outgoing asset won’t do as well.

Assessing these decisions is, admittedly, harder than it was before, not least because it is more difficult to trust fixture schedules these days.

Before the Premier League restarted, the Bundesliga resumption was already in full swing and one of the early patterns that it validated was a loss of significance for home advantage in empty stadiums. 

With the Bundesliga season now completed, it is clear to see that away teams performed far better than they might have expected. 

This has already crept into the Premier League and I expect the trend to continue. It is those sides threatened by relegation who I feel for the most, as their ‘12th man’ edge has been completely eroded. In FPL’s first two Gameweeks, none of the bottom four won a home game. 

It may still be early days with the Premier League’s restart but it goes to show that fixture difficulty ratings need to be reconsidered and the aura of playing at home without fans has been greatly diminished for certain clubs.

    With what is said above in this post, whats everyone doing if they have FH & BB chips left?

    FH GW 36+ looks good but what to do with BB?

    1. SpagBol
      • 7 Years

      I will BB in GW 37 for this wildcard team:

      Ederson
      TAA Azpi AWB Aurier
      Salah KDB Son Fernandes Pulisic
      Jiminez

      Pope | Saiss Greenwood Nketiah

      Pope vs nor

      Greenwood vs WHU
      Nketiah vs avl

      1. SH
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        FA cup semi finals at that time. Wouldn't be sure about Pulisic, Greenwood and Nketiah's game time

  6. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL

    Does Greenwood play Bournemouth?

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years

      Surely

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Dan James looked terrible again

    2. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      he gets at least 2 more starts before soljk thinks bout playing james

      1. Planet_Marss
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        him being a left footer adds a different dimension on the right wing to united.. allows bissaka to get forward and cut in threat.. no one else in their attack can do that

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

      Young kid playing well. Deserves his spot I don’t see how he could be dropped.
      Having him and Foden saves a lot of cash but does give some selection headaches. But if they have the fixtures I will play them ahead of a “big name” player til the end of the season.

  7. Lav
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I know I have a really good rank at 2.8k, and it will be the best finish I ever have had, and may ever get...

    But man is it frustrating to have everything start to fall apart since the restart. In the end doesnt matter your rank, it honestly just sucks to see decisions not go your way. Captained Jimenez this week, and got Martial to pair with Rashford on my WC. Absolute howler...

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Captained Jimi too but dodged the martial hype. He's trolled me every time I got him in this season.

      I think coming on here deterred me from getting him

      1. Lav
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Fair. Ive avoided Arsenal all season and its been a joy. Been in the Rashford trap to much though. First time in Martial trap. Annoying since its now the end.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Who would you have downgraded for Bruno??

      1. Lav
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Rashford. Just has not worked out for me all season. Gamble on Martial for first time seems to have flopped. Also could shift Son depending on his performances.

    3. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm with you mate. I'm also riding high (1.5k) and I think it just adds more pressure to keep going which makes a week like this week painful. Monday, no Ings. Tuesday, no pope, Wednesday, no Fernandes, Thursday, Auba (c) 2 pointer??

      Haha, just have to remember after all is said and done, it's just a game afterall.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I tell my kids that winning every time you play would get very boring, very quickly......

      2. Lav
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Spot on. Pressure is so high. We both have top, top ranks we should be proud of, but we want more. You just get in this cycle of wanting to be even higher and then you get disappointed.

        I was 1k before the lockdown, and since the return I did crack inside 1k, but ultimately just fallen a bit as you see. Weeks been tough for sure, with you on Ings & Fernandes.

        Just have to play as smart as possible and finish strong, especially mentality. We have done great do far and have to appreciate that.

    4. Albrightondknight

      Remember you made a lot of good decisions to be where you are. GL for the rest of the season.

        Cheers mate, gonna be a battle but we continue on.

  8. Doolittle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any ideas here? Foster's form is concerning (really should have just stuck with Pope on my WC), Bergwijn's game time could be an issue, and Rashford didn't look overly inspiring last night/this morning.

    Foster/Martin
    TAA/Doherty/Maguire/Lascelles/Ward
    Salah/KDB/Fernandes/Bergwijn/Douglas Luiz
    Rashford/Jimenez/DCL

    2 FTs, 0 ITB

    1. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      team looks solid.. maybe a keeper swap?
      or berg> pulisic

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Foster and Ward to Pope and fodder.

  9. SpagBol
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Willian or Pulisic for my WC?

    1. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      willian: secure
      pulisic: greater potential/more explosive

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pulisic

    3. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      William. Isn't he on penalties and some free kicks?

  10. davies

    Thoughts on this lot from next week onwards?

    Pope 3.9
    TAA Doherty Alonso Taylor Lamptey
    Salah KDB Son Bruno Foden

      nice team

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Very nice

    3. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I wonder if Frank will try James at RB, Azpi LB at some point. As a CFC fan I dont rate Alonso, despite his FPL appeal. Just think Frank could do this so be careful.

      Nice side otherwise. Lots of similar players. No Salah & Bruno killing me right now though, and now dont have WC.

      1. Planet_Marss
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        risk worth taking

      2. davies
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Possibly. I feel I have good enough cover if that ever happens.

  11. Planet_Marss
    • 4 Years

    i know its been a while since but did anyone waste a chip gw 29 cos of corona like me.. i wasted a wildcard

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

      WC too. Didn't help with order of chips since. Have to sneak out a BB soon.

      1. Planet_Marss

        biggest bs

      Me

  12. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Pretty keen on taking a -4 hit: (Patricio, Saka, DCL -> Pope, Davis, Ings) to give me this:

    Pope
    TAA Doherty AWB
    Salah KDB Son Bruno
    Rashford Jimenez Ings

    Martinez Lascelles Holgate Davis 0.0m

    1. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      no need to get rid of patricio.. the dudes killin it.. has better fixtures than pope. ings could be a trap for the next 3 especially cos he's outperformed his xg by miles since restart (though im not too opposed to bringing him in). something to think about...

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Pope is killing it though. And he gets a lot of hauls due to saves/bps. I much prefer him to Patricio. As for Ings, he looks much better than DCL, regardless of fixtures

        1. Planet_Marss
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          if youre convinced.. you should do it. i have pope.. so maybe im just taking him for granted hahha

          1. Planet_Marss
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            you happy with son?

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Son is fpl gold imo, always a goal/assist threat and Mou seems to love him too.

        2. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          DCL played Liverpool first up, and is yet to play his 3rd game back.....

          Too early to call, IMHO

          But I agree, Ings looks mighty tempting..

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

      Not enough cash now for just DCL to Ings and bench for a game or 2 and roll 1 FT
      No way I would lose Patricio.
      Look at the point he and Doherty have racked up since the restart and the fixtures til the end. I have the same combo and they ain’t going anywhere.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years

        'Not enough cash now for just DCL to Ings and bench for a game or 2 and roll 1 FT"

        huh?

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

          I mean get Ings in and he could be bench for 1 or 2 difficult fixtures. He is only going to rise in price.

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I can't afford him. That's why I need the two downgrades.

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd wait, see how Son and DCL play first.....

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I don't think Son will be going anywhere even if he has a poor game. Any suggestions on who you would consider in for him?

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          In your case, not really. Your team looks as template as it gets. Anything else would be a punt probably , but you could consider Mahrez...

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            bought Mahrez for the DGW. Took the points and banked them, don't think he will be back in my team. Son is a much better pick imho

            1. Cruyff's Eleven
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years

              Fair enough...

    any games played around gw 37+? would it be a good week to use a chip?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      FA Cup semi finals.

      1. Planet_Marss

        isnt that after the game week

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Same as last week.
          The 4 semi finalists play midweek after FA Cup.

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

    Thinking about a strategy of some punts with a strong bench to back it up for the rest of the season. Is it a decent plan. Punted C on Auba this week.
    This way of thinking has me looking at
    Auba and Lascelles
    To Jesus and Azpi for a hit leaving the following team
    I would go 352 or 343
    Playing TAA Doherty and Azpi
    but who would I drop from the front 8?

    Patricio Button

    TAA Doherty Azpi Aurier Holgate

    Salah Son Bruno Martial Foden

    Jesus Jiménez Greenwood

    A. Moves above for -4
    B. Aurier and Auba
    to Azpi and Jesus -4 with leaves cash for Martial to Mahrez down the line.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah that looks like a right benching headache! Toss up between Foden and Jesus - which ever one you feel is most likely to start or deliver plays and the other benched

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

        What about A or B I am leaning toward B as I like the idea of enough cash for Martial to Mahrez.
        Seeing who plays for City this week will help for sure.

  15. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Pope (Martinez)
    TAA, Maguire, Saiss (Lascelles, Holgate)
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Son (Guendouzi)
    Jimenez, Rashford, DCL

    What would you do with the above team 0.3 itb + 2ft?

    Thinking of going Maguire > Wan-Bissaka

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Or Maguire to a BUR defender and bring in Ings for DCL?

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Already got Pope as keeper so less inclined of doubling up, and also expecting more clean sheets from Man United

  16. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best option left for the TC chip?

    Salah (AVL) this week? No fans, but expect LIV will still want to put on a show at their first home game since being crowned champions.

      I've got it on him at the moment. Looks great on paper. Pretty sure I am going for it. What do you think of this mate?
      Henderson (Reina)
      Fernandez Soyuncu Lundstram Lascelles (Saiss)
      Salah TC KDB Cantwell Martial (Traore)
      Jimenez Auba (Ayew)

        Sell auba and spread the cash

    2. MarkoSD
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Salah or mane, whoever has less minutes in city game

    I want to do Rashford to greenwood to upgrade greilish to Mahrez and play 3-4-3

    Is it worth doing that for a hit for next week or just wait an extra week?

    If not I’ll have to play greilish or Tammy

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

      Nice moves. It’s risky but I would try Abraham this week - decent fixture even if he doesn’t start he could get points from 30mins and make the moves next week for free.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Give BOU game and then move on. Play Abraham.

        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Morning all thanks that’s really helpful only other benefit of the hit would be it would also free up funds to do Duda > punt as well maybe sarr in their good run. Having said that I’ll then have 5 mids and 3 strikers I all want to start so one will be benched anyway

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

          I would still hold if Abraham comes good you will regret it.
          Any feedback on my post above.
          I am getting myself into a similar front 8 - who do you bench problem.

    3. MarkoSD
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hold

  18. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which option?

    A) Son/Rashford to Bruno/Jesus
    B) Son/Rashford to Bruno/Ings
    C) AWB/Son to Aurier/Bruno

    Have Martial too, so thing is having AWB/Bruno/Martial or Bruno/Martial/Rashford

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

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

      I would rather D
      Martial to Bruno with another move to fund it as required.

  19. Lucky Z

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Keeping WC and BB to 37 and 38 respectively can be a disaster, is not it?

    With opportunity to have Nketiah + Greenwood on the bench if BB done this week, for example. Thus not spending much on bench.

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

      Maybe but do you expect Arsenal to get much joy from that Wolves defence?

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I meant current GW

  20. micsway
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I'm in need of some consoling, I transferred out Bruno for Martial and now due to the price change I can not undo that change, am I doomed for next game week or should I look to their game with the cherries with high hopes?

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Trust in your original plan

    2. MarkoSD
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Doomed without bruno anyway but martial should do well in cherries game

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This wasn’t helped by a lot of the cold water FFS have poured on Bruno in multiple articles since Pogba came back

      Many, many folk will have found themselves in similar positions (but obviously everyone owns their own decisions & cant really lay blame anywhere)

      But possibly a little bit less of the “need points now/instant fix” mentality and a little bit more of the “patience/caution/let’s wait&see” mentality would go a long way for many folks in FPL - it’s just not as rock & roll - I can’t help but wonder whether we’ll see similar happening at times in the next few weeks with Salah & KDB

      Meanwhile Mark got Bruno IN this week, on Wildcard, and captained him for a massive 100k rank jump - a classic rope-a-dope

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He’ll come good again, always blows a bit hot and cold - Bruno very fortunate with the first goal last night swings and roundabouts

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He had an effort back off the post shortly before he first goal too though... and will be on pretty much every pen, DFKs & Corner...

        Anyone can hit a dry spell of course, but it doesn’t look like he’s just going quietly into the night now Pogba is back - he’s just got his highest FPL score with Pogba alongside him, and without any set piece points too

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Agree - he looks unbelievable to be fair, like a kdb but with a bit more eye for goal and not overweight

  21. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What is the ideal triple up from Manchester clubs?

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

      AWB Bruno Greenwood

      Foden Mahrez Jesus

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers

        Time up for Kevin?

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

          Who knows if I had the funds it would be a tight call whether I would chance KDB or Mahrez and some cash.

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            AWB bruno greenwood

            Kdb Mahrez Laporte/Jesus

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      i'm sure if you asked this question a couple of days ago Greenwood would not be in the equation
      funny how things can turn
      not to say he's not a viable option moving forward but does seem very reactive from 1 game

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This - for my money we’re going to see a similar phenomenon with DCL & Richarlison with those last 3 fixtures & their current quiet output

  22. SpagBol
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    1. Thoughts on this wildcard?
    2. Do i need Foden?
    3. Is 1 up top too light?
    4. Also thoughts on bench boost?

    Cheers!

    Got BB and TC left to play...
    Thinking BB in GW37 and TC in GW38

    This is the BB fixtures for GW37
    Pope vs nor
    Saiss vs CRY
    Greenwood vs WHU
    Nketiah vs avl

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1) Looks good. Keep track of Pulisic knock. Willian might be better if looking for a CHE mid.

      2) Nah, you don't need Foden but you can get him incase Pulisic goes missing.

      3) As of now, its not too light due to lack of options. Ings is probably the only in form option you are missing, his fixtures are tricky anyway.

      4) Will be a decent bench if Nketiah and Greenwood play.

      1. SpagBol
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks man!

        Appreciate your response.

        Do you think it is wise to keep big hitters such as TAA, Salah and KDB as well?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Since you have covered pretty much all big players like Son/Fernandes/Jimenez, I think its wise to hold the premium trio for now.

          In future you can drop Son/Salah for Mahrez/Sterling if required.

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

      It looks very good but would you make a defence downgrade to get Nketiah to Ings and Pulisic to Foden
      Foden and Ings have nice fixtures that week too for BB. They are away fixtures but no crowds so maybe it’s not a big factor.
      And if you don’t fancy playing Ings for the next week or 2 I would be happy starting Foden and Greenwood.

  25. BNMC
    • 4 Years

    Greenwood gives me a route to Salah - do we expect him to continue starting from here on out?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I’d say last night’s 11 was their best team and they can’t really afford to lose even 1 max 2 games in the league from here, should start I guess but who knows

  26. MarkoSD
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Grenwood to rashford or to be happy because I got greenwood?

    Of course I got him on the bench this gw

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago
