    My only bad decision was letting conversations on here sway me to starting Estu over Henry, otherwise super happy with my -8 GW

            What do you mean, the -4 comes off your total?? And the transfer is included in the total transfer tie breaker if points are the same. Hits affect GW rank for sure.

              No they are not. That’s why some people take massive hits each week chasing the elusive gameweek win (not me - but some do). They only come off your season total. Look for example at the guy with GW rank 1 this week - he has 64 points of hits.

          I'm happy I sold Haaland at a high price and bought back at his low price, got Watkins points in between and captained Haaland for his latest haul. With no FH I can't get Grealish anyway without having several players blank in GW32.

      Mings has been my biggest differential since the 24 wildcard. Six straight green arrows and he has been the difference maker every time. Never would have guessed it. I bought him as bench fodder with some double game weeks in the future.

    67 points with two Arsenal players to go, nice jump from 60k to 40k.

    I was aiming for top 20k finish, but with FH, WC and BB to go I'm feeling confident of getting higher. Hopefully WC33 and BB34 reaps dividends.

    Only worry is whether to bring in Grealish now, and force a FH or -4 in GW32 or just go with what I have.

      Everyone is going for Grealish. He could be game time risk after CL game though. KdB is not bad option either for those who have money. I have started to have 2nd thoughts about FH 32, FH 34 could be tempting also. However, lack of decent mids has become an issue.

          Grealish has played 11 games in a row and doesn’t have an obvious replacement, I’d thought he’s a pretty good bet. I got him in for Bowen not Maddison which is annoying and because I’m not FH 32 I think I need to keep him and hope for the best

      I had to look him up. I’m surprised clubs across Europe aren’t now queuing to snap him up

      “Ex-Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford revealed that the lack of playing time, and the reason for not extending the loan deal in light of the delayed season end, was down to Augustin not following instructions from management, and not putting in the required work.”

        it's an odd one isn't.

        So Leeds have an obligation on an end of season loan that cuts off in June, but he's released the season extends and they don't have his contract but were held to the payment without having the player.

        Effectively was he transferred twice?

        Sometimes that court of arbitrartion is blinded by the £££, imposing over inflated settlements on lower division clubs too.

          I'm going Maddison to Grealish (and FH32). Rash can be third sub until he returns, unless we get a confirmation that he misses GW34. Solves the bench headache between March and Watkins

    How does Haaland rise twice in 2 days and Grealish twice in 3 days but Bruno stays same price after 1.3 million bring him in over 4 days for GW29?

    If FPL aren’t releasing the process of how they control price rises/drops, there’s a reason for it.

    I’ve been playing FPL for a few years and I feel this year the FPL predicted price rise/drop websites have been really off. What’s the deal?

    The only Man U player I want in GW34 (as things stand) is Rashford, just like in GW29

    Still on this minimal hit crusade. I'm getting used to it... Now at 800k OR, with just Saka left. FH32 is the last chip. Going Maddison to Grealish for free, to have:

    Raya
    Trippier Estupinan White
    Grealish Mitoma March Saka
    (C)Haaland Watkins Kane
    .
    Kepa Schar Chilwell Rashford

    Then FH32, which will be fixture-focused

    GW33: Saka to Salah for free
    GW34: White to Dias. I'll get Ake if Dias is out of reach
    GW36: Watkins + Raya to Wilson/Isak (C) + DDG
    GW38: NEW + Dias to Jesus + White

    That's the provisional plan. Ready to adjust if needed. Still trying to avoid hits except where obvious, like getting Mitoma a while back, then Mahrez + Royal to Maddison + Chilwell for GW28. Things change so swiftly in this game...

    I'm delaying buying Salah because I might go for KDB instead (and maybe Shaw over Dias), or I might go with Rash to KDB if the groin injury is that serious. Definitely going Maddison to Grealish though

        But I do regret having that much cash. I haven't needed it like in previous seasons, so it's been early-season hits without the usual gains of the past. I'll dump it next season. Getting used to this patient approach post-WC18

        I had Haaland and Saka with no Watkins, yet still hit 136 on BB29

        My hits would have backfired. Heck, my one transfer was Odegaard (5) to March (8)

        If I'd sold Haaland, I'd have had to keep Maddison for GW31 or taken a hit for Grealish, making it -8 total to lose Haaland for one GW

        Quite nuanced and team-specific, of course, but I've stopped seeing hits in terms of that week alone

        I agree to an extent but it will take a few weeks for those players ownership to reach the levels of Rashford so you at least have a fee weeks of benefitting from their points. There are also a few different options - Grealish, Arsenal mids Brighton mids, Bruno, maybe a punt on Son and not everyone will pick the same one.
