A chap on one of the FPL forums recently was asking what tactics he should follow in the last two or three gameweeks of the season.
My reply was this: You do what you'd do in any other gameweek. You pick the best team you can, and keep your fingers crossed for a good outcome.
There is no way to 'protect' rank, or to 'chase' rank: you have no knowledge of what anyone else will choose to do, and no control over anyone's outcomes.
If you delude yourself into thinking that a 'more cautious' selection or a 'more daring' selection is better, you're just distracting yourself from what you ought to be doing - trying to find the BEST selection.
That's all there is to it. 'Chasing rank' (or nervously 'protecting rank') is dangerous nonsense; it only leads to foot-shooting.
