I agree with your point and is the whole reason I had set up with the 4.5 fwd in the first place, though maybe my wording "not minding" didn't show that.
Recognising what I lose in structural efficiency and what I gain in bench flexibility, I'm happy with that aspect of the trade-off.
The point of the post being how unexpected the price changes were which have led to this dilemma. Don't think it was obvious that this would happen at all. At the end of the day, it's just the penalty for me if I want to go ahead with my plan or whether I want to switch things up and have to work within the limitations that the game has set. » Read
He can, although I don't think that means he'll score as highly against the upcoming opponents. Would ideally only be gone from GW7-11 before WC. In that time 3 of the 5 are City, United and WHU (away) and otherwise can't get the Chelsea players in without that sacrifice » Read
Gray already in unfortunately - had to catch at least that price rise yesterday. I usually don't mind the 4.5 base price for one mid/fwd player but the funds seemed to be available to upgrade and allows for some rotation & a stronger bench » Read
Was always my plan really, wanted Chelsea for GW7 onwards, want to WC in GW12 and TAA can come back then, Gray was a suitable downgrade for this week and wanted the extra bench option longer term, all looked like it would work out with a little bit of cash to spare. I only really watch LTFPL to validate whether my thoughts make sense or whether I should rethink, rather than being guided by any of that » Read
The rate of price changes has been frustrating this season. Had planned Mahrez to Gray this week and a hit for TAA to Rudiger & Obafemi to Lukaku next week, had to do the first move early and would be left with 0.1 ITB after the other moves. Rudiger & Lukaku look like they're both rising very soon though but why are people bringing them in now when City is up next??

Shouldn't the point be that dangerous career threatening challenges result in a red card to discourage these? It was genuinely a dangerous challenge so how can it now warrant a red? » Read
True if you have him, good opportunity to make use of the next 2 good fixtures, but I see lots of Wildcards bringing him in or makeweights for Ronaldo and I just wouldn't do it looking long term » Read
I much prefer spending the extra 0.5 on my 3rd bench spot (a 4.5 MID/FWD) and having a 4.5 and a 4.0 defender as bench options as they represent good value and can let the funds go onto the starting XI » Read
Is there a bit too much hype around Sarr? I know people want to find a player around that price point and it's the best on offer (other than Raph) but for me I'd either just knock it down to a 4.5 instead and use the cash elsewhere or find the cash to bump him up to a 7.5 mid » Read

Ah sorry I get you - yeah that makes sense. And overreactions to a goal from a defender when his xG was 0.1 that game I believe » Read
