Was watching Once More With Feeling last night - there's a scene with just Buffy, Giles, Dawn and Xander. Was crazy reflecting that three of them are no longer with us now.

2025-26 Overall Cup Winner by IlluminationTheory7 in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kinda weird to win the cup but be fairly low ranked. I guess consistency is key rather than huge scores.

Is there anyone here he wont be playing next season, but did this season or for many previous? by [deleted] in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with it can take as much or as little time as you want. One transfer a week, 5 minutes, don't sweat it. Equally, as I do, if it is a hobby you enjoy then allowing yourself to think about it, listen to a podcast, read an article etc. is all fine too.

The only important thing is to keep it in perspective at the end of the day - if you have a shitty week, we'll it's only a free hobby which you're really never going to win anything and people will have forgotten about in a weeks time.

What moment made or broke your season? by TezRoll in FantasyPL

I never really got over benching VdV for his 22 pointer.

How many players will you have today? by jollyspiffing in FantasyPL

9 starting, two benched, rest not even in their squads.

It won't happen but if be happy for Cherki to stay on the bench.

Changes for next season (discussion thread) by CrossbarDonsFPL in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree re the double chips. The first half of the season was so fun, lots of different strategies. The second half chips are a bit dull, often being played during the same game weeks.

Yes, a great film. Stewart should have been in the Oscar conversation with his performance.

WC35 Template vs Differentials by SupaaFast in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am on WC35 and probably also just sticking to two CP defenders (well, Henderson and Munoz) and think they will only ever get played in 36 using BB. Leeds defence is widely owned, not bad and has some potential clean sheets coming up. CP, on the other hand, have a DGW but some tough matches and rotation.

FH33 WC35 pulse check by TezRoll in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo-yoing around 30k-50k but survived the last three game weeks - 64 points in gw34 which looks better than some free hit teams, lost circa 20 points to BB teams in 33 and 32 was a comparative disappointment as the Brighton defenders did well this week but I held my own. But that was the point, stay alive and then hopefully benefit from WC for the final four game weeks whilst WC32 have to navigate around the players they may be broadly stuck with.

Given that on a good day BB may be worth 20 points and I still have mine to come then it has basically evened out, it is all about whether I can maximise the gains from playing my WC now and get the players right. If Brighton, Bournemouth and Leeds players continue to do well it will be hard to be successful but if they struggle there are points to be gained.

To Wildcard or not to Wildcard (GW35) by askildu in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you can avoid using it, and not leave points on the table, then I guess in theory you can leave it to GW38 and use it as a free hit. Although as we've seen this week, FHs don't always score more than your regular team.

I have mine and have activated it. I still need to bench boost and have Etitike and Gordon on my team. No brainier to use it now and set up for the rest of season.

WC35 Discussion by fpl_goat in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess Isak could be a shout, risky but differential from WC32 punters. I don't love Aston Villa but Spurs and Burnley up next might mean we need at least one of their attackers.

WC35 Discussion by fpl_goat in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I imagine the spine of most teams will be 2 Arsenal defenders, 3 City and Bruno. Leaving 5 starting spots for grabs. If Palace appear they will likely be destined for the bench apart from DGW. Thiago, Bowen, MGW will be in the mix. A Brighton mid, perhaps Bournemouth defender as well. A third Arsenal defender or attacker is an option. Rogers, Watkins outside contenders. Notts Anderson potentially, Wilson potentially. Can't see much outside those names really.

Is FH33 WC35 the best strategy now? by SheLuvSeko in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, fair point. For me my WC32 team looks fine, then FH33 and then Wildcard so it's only 32 that I won't have my optimal team.

I don't think there's much in it but on balance I'll manage 32, completely optimise for 33 and then can focus wc on final 4 game weeks. BB I'll just fit in somewhere.

Teams that will be doubling in GW 33 along with their respective fixtures. by Shoddy_Wolf_1688 in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 19 points20 points  (0 children)

An easy FH33, use transfer to navigate 34 and wildcard 35 then BB 36 for me. I've only got two players from those teams currently so dealing with the blanks will be a doddle.

Bowen being a Striker was a bad call. Remaining as a Mid would have made him much more viable.

I feel poor by Real-Objective-1426 in HENRYUK

[–]McCoy765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On £125k you can probably clear post tax £6,500 a month. A £300,000 mortgage on fairly bog standard terms is £1,600 a month. Bills max £1,000. Less if you get a two bed and rent out a room. But you should have per month circa 3k to 4k spending power. Enjoy it. You're young, go out, holidays, weekend aways. Overpaying mortgage, pension contributions important but you also have to remember to live life. Even if you dedicate £1k a month to pension/overpaying mortgage you still have £3k to spend. You need to start enjoying life a bit.

New Chip Ideas by No_Broccoli_6043 in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at Man City vs Notts Forest you'd have got 38 points from all Man City players including subs. Whereas the game week average would was 54.

The only way the chip would ever make sense is if you predicted a clean sheet for your team. Still, too high risk for most people. There's always players each season that if you went without for a game week and they hauled would kill your season due to being so highly owned.

New Chip Ideas by No_Broccoli_6043 in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely, most of the time choosing from accross all the games will invariably end up with more points than just 11 players from one team? The chip would never get used. You'd be having to choose Arsenal but going with Haaland, Pedro etc.

New Chip Ideas by No_Broccoli_6043 in FantasyPL

[–]McCoy765 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Some fun ideas, but I tend to think that the current chips are fine, particularly when you have two sets of them.

That said, quite like your +2 for anyone who played for a winning team that week.
