FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 14 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 14 With deadlines between GW’s almost running into each other this somewhat randomly placed and sprawling midweek fixture list always feels like it is simply placed here as a training vehicle ahead of what is about to come over Christmas. With GW13 having only finished late on Sunday evening we are back at it already on Tuesday and this one goes through to Thursday night and then GW15 kicks off on Saturday. It’s a 2-6-2 split with Wednesday doing the heavy carrying. Just the two on Tuesday then and we begin with a relegation 6-pointer as the worlds richest club (Newcastle) go head to head with the world yo-yo champions (Norwich) at 7.30pm. If that one hasn’t put you to sleep then Amazon are obviously ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 13 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 13 It is another condensed GW this time around, beginning on Saturday at 12.30pm and finishing up on Sunday at around 6pm. We do however have a nice even split between the two days with five games on each. The early game on Saturday sees Newcastle going down to Arsenal and this is followed by three at 3pm with Palace welcoming Villa, Liverpool welcome their feeder club Southampton and Wolves go to Norwich. Brighton and Leeds see us out on Saturday at 5.30pm. Sunday begins at 2pm with four games running concurrently as Brentford welcome Everton, Spurs go to Burnley, Leicester host Watford and West Ham have the joys of a trip to Man City. We end at 4.30pm with a baptism of fire for Ralf as he takes his new t...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 12 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 12 Ten games this week, squeezed into an unusually thin two days. In fact, eight of them are on Saturday… We begin with the Ranieri derby, sans Claudio, as Leicester host Chelsea at 12.30pm. As if by way of an apology / olive branch Jeff and co. then get a bumper six games to peruse over at 3pm. Albeit all the crap ones. Villa host Brighton, Palace go to Burnley, Newcastle welcome Brentford, Saints travel along the coast to Norwich (sort of…), Claudio himself welcomes Ole and West Ham go up to Wolves. Liverpool and Arsenal see us out in the 5.30pm game at Anfield. Just the two left on Sunday and we begin with Rafa trying to thwart Pep at 2pm. That is to say trying to restrict them to just 4 or 5 goals. And then, almost...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 11 Sky are having a ‘mare… We begin with an early deadline this week as Villa go to Saints in what can only be described as an odd choice by Sky to bother pulling it forward to Friday night and then actually screening it. Saturday kicks off with the game that should be on at 4.30pm on Sunday (the Manchester v Salford derby). We often mention Jeff Stelling on here when it comes to the Saturday 3pm games and with good reason because he is a legendary presenter and his show has been one of the best inventions since the PL (football) began. He has also been poorly treated by Sky since this whole pandemic thing began. Initially shorn of any games to actually present they then decided to strip him of all his ‘mates’. The very people who made t...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 10 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 10 We have a bit of a strange GW on our hands here as there are a lot of games that either look very predictable in their outcome or you simply look at and go… ‘meh’. Leicester and Arsenal set us on our way on Saturday lunchtime and if we tell you that this looks like one of the more enticing games then you’ll know what is to come. If nothing else our old mate Jeff @ Sky will be cock-a-hoop to see no less than 5 games in his slot at 3pm on Saturday. Two games could be close, but ultimately also dire affairs, in Burnley v Brentord and Watford v Saints with the other three looking fairly one sided for Man City (v Palace), Liverpool (v Brighton) and Chelsea (v Newcastle). The main ente...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 9 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 9 Just as Gameweek 8 is escorted politely off the premises, we have a quick five minute tea break and welcome Gameweek 9. It’s coming at us like a train as well and it begins with another (brilliant!) Friday night deadline. We kick off at the Emirates as Arsenal welcome Aston Villa in what will be the Gunners second match within 95 hours. Saturday lunchtime’s offering is Chelsea v Norwich City at SW6 and fear not about captaining Romelu Lukaku as this is not (technically) the early kick off, well it is an early kick off. You get the point. That and the fact that Salah blew that daft theory to pieces in Gameweek 8. Saturday then continues at 3pm with matches at Crystal Palace – who welcome Newcastle, Ev...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 8 FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 8 We have a bumper Saturday for a change with no less than 7 games to digest. We imagine the majority will be hoping that (Captain) Salah doesn’t put an early dampner on their gameweek in his lunchtime visit to Watford. At 3pm we have a Villa v Wolves derby, Man U going to Leicester for a 4th place play-off, Man City’s bi-annual hammering of Burnley, Brighton hoping to see Norwich off to the Championship, with Saints and Leeds completing the set. Saturday night (ish) should then be fun as Brentford and Chelsea slug it out at 5.30pm. Sunday may be a bit short on games but they promise to be interesting ones if nothing else. The Moyes derby is at 2pm as Everton welcome West Ham. All eyes will then be on the richest club ...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 7 FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 7 The last GW before yet another International Break. This one begins on Saturday as Ronaldo Man United welcome Rafa back to Old Trafford for lunch. We then have four games at 3pm with Norwich taking the long trip up to Burnley, Chelsea looking to rediscover their mojo vs Saints, Leeds hosting Watford and Newcastle going down to Wolves. Arsenal’s new resolve will then be severely tested by Brighton in the late game. 2pm on Sunday then becomes the new 3pm of a Saturday with three games all at once: Palace welcome Vardy and co, Spurs and Villa play hide & seek with their Argentinian contingent and Brentford make the short trip to West Ham. Presumably they were all told to clear off early to make way for Sky’s inevit...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 6 FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 6 Five gameweeks in already, how time flies when you’re having fun! Gameweek 6 begins on Saturday this week, thank the good lord! (Pardew?). The normality ends there though as we have two 12.30 kick offs. Chelsea look to continue their solid form as they welcome Man City while Villa take the trip up the M6 to Old Trafford. Why are United at 12.30pm but not on TV? Because The Courteeners are playing at Old Trafford Cricket Ground that night! These rock bands think they can Take Over The World! Four 3pm matches follow as Everton hope the visit of Norwich may inject some momentum into their campaign, Antonio looks to single handedly destroy the Leeds defence, Leicester host Burnley and Newcastle take the long trip down to Watfo...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 5 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 5 Hello everyone and welcome to the gameweek AND the second FNF (Friday Night Football) of the season! Shortly we begin with Newcastle United v Leeds United which our very own Rosco will be attending assuming he is still allowed onto the Gallowgate following his questionable behaviour surrounding CR7 and his ‘beloved’ Toon last Saturday. Kidding, that man is a pro and he had his FPL business head on and let’s face it, until Newcastle are taken over we’re all allowed to be fed up by the Geordies! Saturday starts with Wolves v Brentford at lunchtime which will hopefully be a good watch as warm up to four 3pm kick offs with Burnley *cough* welcoming Arteta’s Arsenal to Turf Moor, ...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 4 FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 4 Welcome back to FPL and if you are one of these shut-down-completely types who has spent the time between the end of Gameweek 3 and this deadline up a mountain with no internet or civilisation, you haven’t missed an awful lot (pffft)! Just tell me you made your transfers or pressed the confirm button correctly? No? You could be in for a rough one then. Anyway, the fixtures themselves have us off to the capital this lunchtime for a South meets North affair as Palace host Spurs at Selhurst Park. At 3pm – in a continuing glorious and welcome return of normality – we have count ’em SIX matches on offer. Those who have the luxury of watching matches at this time, we guess you may have your eyes fully on Old Tr...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 3 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 3 Another gameweek in the books and another on the cards. As Gameweek 3 starts we are sitting here dreaming of how we are going to fit a certain Portuguese superstar into our teams. Still, let us leave that struggle for another day and turn our attention to the task at hand, which is scoring well this week. The gameweek gets started with City laying waste to Arsenal in the early game. That is followed by five 3pm kick-offs. Villa take on Brentford, Brighton play host to Everton, Toon welcome in Southampton, Norwich battle it out with Leicester and hopefully The Hammers take apart Palace. The day is not done yet though, as the Premier League have left their best game for last when Liverpool play host to Chelsea as both t...[Read More]
