I read a post on FFS yesterday which I found myself agreeing with - the main point was that hits at this stage of the season are generally not a good idea, as they have such little time to pay off. A few well-timed hits at the start of the season can help you improve your team value and build a better team for a longer period of time. If you take hits at this stage you're pretty much gambling on getting immediate results.

Re: RE: Re: GW36 Transfers
Some are defensive hits though. Managers who are slightly ahead and trying to cancel out potentially explosive differentials like Sanchez & Benteke.thesilkworm wrote:Yeah, I'm kind of surprised by it.redchemist wrote:More hits here than a Pacquiao boxing bout (excluding the last one)

Re: GW36 Transfers
I think my best course of action is to roll my transfer over this week and leave myself with two freebies for the double. I still have 3 Liverpool players for their Chelsea clash, which isn't ideal, but I can't help but think there's still plenty of time for things to go wrong for DGW37. Will any key Arsenal players get injured? How will Chelsea line up now they've won (& is Hazard really on his hols)?
Lots of new info could surface and I'll feel a lot more comfortable with two freebies next week.

Blocking tactics for me at this stage with a 14 point lead. Sterling to Sanchez and Fabregas to Silva.

Sterling Albrighton
Barnes Giroud
Reluctantly for -4 which is grating. Feel I had to do it otherwise I would only have 2 Arsenal players going into the double.

Re: GW36 Transfers
I have no qualms about taking a hit this week, given that Arsenal have a strong fixture. I didn't see any merit in waiting what with the fixtures of the three I've lost, and I'm pretty confident I should comfortably make up the 4 points. I'm guessing plenty of people have a similar stance.

Re: GW36 Transfers
Trailing ML by 20 odd points (after leading for most of the season!), 1FT this week.
With Fab, Haz & Sterling sitting in my midfield ,I didn't want Sterling this week but also didn't want both Chelsea mids so decided on a hit. Didn't have the funds for Sanchez + Ozil/Ramsey.
Haz Sanchez
Sterling Cazorla
Fingers crossed Hazard stays on that beach for another week or three

Re: GW36 Transfers
Looking to get Silva in but for who?
Hazard / Fabregas / Sterling / Sanchez
Other Mid is Henderson who I can't afford the transfer for. Seeing as I already have another Liverpool player it seems logical to go for Sterling, but with Hazard maybe not playing and Chelsea already with the title would it be mad to drop him or Fab?

Mulling over using another free to downgrade Henderson to an enabler to allow me to do Coutinho Ozil/Ramsey/Cazorla for the double next week, but I suppose I might as well wait until next week to do both.

Re: GW36 Transfers
Decided to play my WC this week and I'm having a nightmare. Is it madness to keep Vardy for the rest of the season (alongside Aguero and Giroud)? It certainly doesn't feel great. Ramsey really throwing a spanner in the works.
I know it's probably terribly poor form to do this, but I am a bit desperate. If anyone has time to have a look at my thread, I will be forever grateful - viewtopic.php?f=99&t=116333

I had something similar, to spend for Sanchez I needed to downgrade elsewhere, and Vardy is one of the cheap options I had. I see that your two plans require you to chose between Kane/Vardy... and I did Kane Vardy indeedI am worried about keeping Vardy for the rest of the season, but I think I'd be more worried about not having Sanchez.
I'm in the top 1600 and the top of my mini leagues so at this point I'm just trying to hold on.
Is Sanchez worth his cost and such consequences?
You're in the top2k while I'm barely around 300k, so I'm afraid I've no better insight on this than you could have yourself, good luck mate

Re: GW36 Transfers
one thing that made me wary:
Sanchez scores since Xmas (omitting absence/blanks)
10 1 2 19 3 2 3 3 8 2 2 13 3 3 15
5 "hauls" (more or less) in 15 games, that's one every 3rd game on average
PPG in those 5 games: 13p !
PPG in the other 10: 2.4p
PPG over all 15: ~ 6p
someone posted more than once this season, that at the end of the season you care for the total, not for the consistency
a player who gets 10 2 2 2 10 = 26 is worth more than one who gives you 5 3 5 3 5 = 21
here Arsenal play 4 more games, will he get one or two >3p scores?
6 PPG would give 24
even if he gets 3 2 16 3 (considering 2+16=18 is the DGW where I'd captain him) it would be OK for me
do we risk he might instead get just, say 5 2 8 2?
it could be possible too, and 17p for 11.3m you might consider wheter you might get better returns with the other plan
you should run some simulations, based on some Points Projections you trust, or just your own estimate and judgement

I've never actually run any such simulations. It's a good call. I think I've just been very lucky this season, but this is a massive decision and needs actual thought, which I will give it tonight. The Friday night of winners!

Re: GW36 Transfers
no, for simualtions I meant just checking/estimating which range of points will your different plans yield till the end of ther season
FFS has Points Projections, but you need to be a member to access that, I'm not and I don't think it's worth to spend 10£ for that now with just 3 GW left
FFFix is for free, but sometimes their projections seem a bit off

- (other times instead they work imho, despite many scoff at them - they allowed me to captain Kane over Kun in GW30 where he got 17p, and it sparked a heated debate here in that GW Captain thread, where gurus mainteined those who captained Kane had been just lucky as beforehand it was a mathematically wrong decision -- well, FFFix algorithm got it, so they must have been using the "right math", while fiso gurus must've been using the "wrong math" )

Re: GW36 Transfers
so I'm stuck with a bit of a dilemma. Do I transfer out Sterling -> Ozil and Henderson -> Silva or Sterling -> Sanchez and Hazard -> Silva? both would be for a 4 point hit. I'm first in my mini league but the guy in 2nd has Sanchez which scares me a bit. I suppose I could do a straight Sterling -> Silva and then the following gw Silva -> Sanchez and not take a hit as well. I just don't love that I would then be stuck playing Henderson, Boyd, or Siggy
To add to my post - I've got Aquero, Giroud, and Kane up top. The guy in 2nd has Giroud, Kane, Benteke
