Complete overhaul of strategy this week. Going to try to pick players who score the most points, not the least.

Risking changing strategy mid rounds, have you banked any trades?

I might go for the least value shitto team and see how it compares, I mean, no point trying to follow the crowd coming 4th last.

Being this close to the top is always above average temperatures. Really feeling the heat for sure.

Strategically this is what needs to be done by everyone in the bottom half. The longer the comp goes the less teams playing, the less variation available to meet the cap so you can't catch up. People tend to try and spend all the cap or as close to, but very rarely is this the highest scoring team. My strategy is to ignore the cap and not try and get the most expensive players.

The best possible team last round had quite a few PODs, so there is a good chance to make up ground if you pick the right players.
- total score of 514, just shy of $4,000,000

Cook 58
Radley 74
Fermor 63

The hardest thing for me last week wasn't the cap, it was the 1 player per team restriction. Lots of teams had more than 1 player to pick from, and with many of the premium options in HLF or WFB it was tough settling on who to settle on there.
Congrats to anyone who went for Moses over Cleary/DCE

With only 2 games this week, teams will be more similar as there are less choices available. So going PODdy and praying may be required to catch up
