It's Your Round Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 22 minutes ago, BOF said: So I dropped from 434k to 580k. Down 33%. Given how congested it is that's not terrible. I'm level on points with a work colleague yet he's 11k higher than me in the game. One transfer hit will drop you easily 40-50k. I’ve never really paid much attention to the global rankings, but I see this week I moved up 300k places! From 766k to 466k. Like you say fine margins make a huge difference.

PussEKatt Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Well,even though I could not field 11 players I still managed to move up 2 places to 35.I had 2 fullbacks injured and my 2 Villa players obviously did not play.So overall,happy with that result.

You've not done too badly considering the 2 Leeds boys stinking out your midfield and Castagne sitting perpetually injured on your bench. You are making things hard for yourself though. You haven't transferred anyone for 3 weeks. You could have used some of those wasted transfers to address some of the issues around the fringes of your squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 8, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2020 It was a truly shocking week. As I said I got greedy. if I'd done nothing I'd have done better (I sold Son). If I'd done one transfer to go Son to KDB I'd have done far better. But because that only left me with 10 players i got greedy and did a -4 (Son to Mahrez and Dunne to James) One to forget for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I’d wasted it after the Villa game was postponed, as I’ve got a very cheap bench that rarely feature. Ended up with 83 points this GW though so can’t complain, and with the Villa lads back for Wolves, I think I’ve got a decent team now. It’s valued at £102.1m so it’s not gone down in value. Hey that's (pretty much) my team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't load up on DGW players because they all won't score in 19. It'll be a key couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't load up on DGW players because they all won't score in 19. It'll be a key couple of weeks It'll be a week for tokens. It just depends how you use them. My current plan, which may change, is to assume a lot of blanks in 18, completely ignore 18 with regards to transfers leading up to it and use a free hit there. Cover my regular squad for the DGW 19 with normal transfers and try to hold on to my wildcard for the DGW later in the season. Possibly try and use bench boost in 19 if I can get covered enough. It all depends how the DGW pans out and how covered I can be. We'll know soon enough what the DGW fixtures are going to be once the January TV schedule is announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that sounds sensible, considering we won't have the usual doubles later in the season (as far as I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
