I think conventional wisdom is to use the Triple Captain chip on one of the double game weeks but to be honest most of the time it's down to sheer fluke. Team looks OK, how are you getting on? X I never knew there are double game weeks as I always get one free transfer per fixture so I assumed the app operates match by match unlike Sky app?

The double game weeks come around once games start to get rearranged due to the FA Cup. Normally ones in gameweek 33/34 and 37.

I now can see why it was the case as rearranged fixtures would not be part of the original matches schedule. Shame that I have already used my triple captain (on Aubameyang when I thought Arsenal would crush Huddersfield at home but they whimpered home with a 1-0 win! with an assist from Aubameyang! Typical Fantasy Football eh?) Thanks.
RumbleFox Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 I might go for the ultimate differential and triple captain Amartey in his first game back. X
Xen Posted 8 January 2019 Posted 8 January 2019 Had a torrid time so far this season with seemingly every pick going against me (early transfer Mane -> KdB didnt work out, took a hit to swap Ryan out for Hart who was then dropped, etc), but still just about clinging on. Still got all my chips so hopefully I can benefit from those and work my way back up. Somehow I'm still in the cup. Don't think I've ever got this far in it before, so naturally I'll go out this week to a dead team.

Nick Posted 12 January 2019 Posted 12 January 2019 Toying with the idea of swapping in Barnes for Maddison today but unsure if Puel will start him!

Cincinnati Fox Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 5.5 That’s ridiculous. Thought I could sneak him in for 5.0
RumbleFox Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 How's everyone doing? I somehow jumped 200000 places in three weeks (Still not doing great but sitting at about 485000 overall). X

Thought I could sneak him in for 5.0 Yeah I would have been tempted but not at that price We also have the hardest fixtures of any team over the next 5 game weeks so probably not a good time to bring any of our players in. I already have Ricardo and he's been doing great recently but trying to fight the urge to have any other of our players as I think only really Ricardo is a good shout at the minute. X

Great finish last year! My best is about 50000. Yeah agree with you about double/blank gw. I think a big part also is getting a good start. After a while a lot of teams look the same but you really can pull away at the beginning. I also think sheer luck plays a huge part. The guy currently at number 1 has never finished in top million before. X

Osavo Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 My finishes have looked like this. 13/14 I set up a team in January and never changed it again, so ignore that (I'm not lying I promise). Aiming for top 50k this year given my current rank.
StanSP Posted 18 January 2019 Author Posted 18 January 2019 Had a horror show last season but having Vardy and Mahrez as constants in 15/16 helped a lot Average score of 1938.

I'm new to Premier League FF as used to use the Telegraph one. What is double and reduced game weeks all about, if you don't mind me asking?
Soar Fox Posted 3 February 2019 Posted 3 February 2019 I’m not bothering with Man City players anymore. The other week I transferred Jesus in & the following game against Huddersfield he sat on the bench for 90 minutes. This week I took Mane out for Sane because of the double game week and he then sits on the bench for 90 minutes.

Reduced game weeks will happen in a couple of weeks as well when Chelsea and Man City don't play because of the EFL Cup Final.

A couple of people in my league have loaded Man city Players as they have a double game week. Hard to know when to use the chips!!
PhillippaT Posted 6 February 2019 Posted 6 February 2019 Well, I'm still learning about all this stuff, but didn't have a bad week - (Hazard and Luiz had good weeks ) - but I'm still 25pts behind the wife (She's got Sterling, but even though he still didn't do much even with 2 games - it's just I'm too far behind to really take advantage of it... )
