I was content with how Double Gameweek went with a knock of 136. I had to use my wildcard which meant I couldn't triple captain Sanchez. C'est la vie. On count back had i taken a -8/-12 hit I probably would have scored a similar figure so I'm not too fussed. The main thing is that I have the BB and TC chips still at hand.

Speaking of chips, I will use bench boost in Gameweek 37. Yes, I could "TC" Sturridge then, but I'm concerned that he won't play a full two games despite his scintillating form of late. On a side note, I had to re-buy Kane and Alli ("HurriKaneAlli") due to Spurs' momentum even though they have no Double Gameweeks.

I have decided to use the TC chip in Gameweek 35 due to a number of reasons. Spurs need to win and have shown fine form of late. Kane has spearheaded their success. They are free scoring and face a WBA team that have nothing more to play for.

My only other time to use TC would be in Gameweek 38 when the season would be effectively over. Spurs have something to play for and it's for this reason I have decided to TC Kane. Crucially with 4 teams having blanks in Gameweek 35, any significant returns will be accentuated - the next best thing to it being used in a Double Gameweek.

Good luck to you all!

*Due to an erroneous duplicate entry, the tie-breaker for the 32nd spot was waived.  Thus, 3 entries who would have otherwise crashed out have now progressed to R2 on technical grounds.

Analysis:

• 12/32 seeds crashed out in Round 1.
• 5/11 of the "Independents" progressed to Round 2.
• 2/7 of the FPLH pundits crashed out in Round 1.
• The lowest ranked FPLH pundit finished 5th in Round 1.
• All of the FF247 pundits progressed to Round 2.
• 4 of the top 10 seeds crashed out in Round 1 (4th was highest).
• 17 of those that made it into Round 2 took hits.
• 2 of the top 6 from R1 have yet to score 2000+ in FPL.

2 FREE TRANSFERS WERE AVAILABLE FOR GW35.

TRANSFERS:

STURRIDGE & Y TOURE OUT

AGUERO & ERIKSEN IN

Despite seeing a minor overall green arrow, I only scored 61 in #DGW34:

Things can only get better? I bloomin' well hope so!

The GW 35 Temptations:

SHINJI KAGAWA - Has managed some game time of late with his last 2 outings yielding 2 assists.  Perhaps one week to early for me but worth buying with DGW37 in mind for others.

CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN - I bought him at the right time mid-season, then sold him at the right time.  I failed to re-buy him at the right time! Has good form & fixtures.  Carry on sir!

MOHAMMAD SALAH - He could prove to be a super differential.  Should get PL game time with Chelsea also still caught up in Europe.  Has form on side, but is also a rotation risk.

The GW 35 Transfers:

After being let down by a swathe of injuries during DGW34 I decided that affirmative action was required.  Y. Toure could be out for two GWs at least, so out he went.  Sturridge may be a doubt v Norwich and then faces Chelsea (and lacks form) so out he went too.  Aguero doesn't have form on his side but he has good upcoming games.  With the World Cup around the corner and City still in the title hunt he will be looking to resume normal scoring service.  As for my other transfer, I decided to buy a non-DGW37 player.  Eriksen has been awesome of late and it made sense for me to buy him, especially with his run in.

The Captain:

Until I bought Aguero, I was going to join the "Captain Suarez as he is facing Norwich bandwagon".  He is sure to score, but I wanted a player that was more of a "differential" to wear the armband.  City at home score for fun and with their match being on a Monday Night (#MNF), I was given extra incentive to captain Aguero.

The Personal Competitive Context:

I hammered poor Bryan over two quarter final legs and am through to the semi-finals of the FPL Dugout Champions League.  The semi-final draw hasn't been done yet, but I will hoping to face my old "nemesis" Tony.  On a side note, my inaugural FPLH Battle Royal competition will start in GW 35 and I am seeded in that!
