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, Liverpool playing Palace at Anfield, Manchester City hosting Southampton at Eastlands and Watford officially being able to use their away kit correctly as they head to East Anglia to tangle with Norwich.
Aston Villa v Everton should make for a decent game on Saturday at 5.30pm.
Due to European involvement we have the three Thursday teams playing on Sunday this week and in fact, they will be for a number of their weekends until December – they had better get used to it!
Firstly, at 2pm we’re at the Amex Stadium as Brighton entertain Leicester fresh from them facing Napoli whilst simultaneously, West Ham United – who will have been in Croatia – come home to face Ronaldo, Bruno, Mason etc etc etc. Tough.
At 4.30pm, Europa Conference League flag-bearers Spurs hop back from across the channel having played Rennes, come home to face Lukaku, Havertz, Mount etc etc etc. Double Tough.
The games in full…
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.

Hey all,
I dont really like taking hits, but if I comes down to being able to get lukaku or not at all without getting rid of someone I want to keep is it worth a -8? Fixture isnt great for him this week and would rather leave it until next, but if he rises my plan is screwed. Long term hes going to “pay back” the hit though
Think I’m trying to justify it to myself here!
Who else is coming and going?
Already done torres for benrahma.
Jota and antonio for a 4.5 mid and lùkaku
Antonio going out?
Got to make room somewhere for lukaku
Hard no for me there
No if you are gonna replace Antonio.
No for me as well
Definite no here as well.
We’ll help you find an alternate way to get Lukaku in the following week if necessary.
No for me also. I’m almost certainly going to be bringing Antonio in this week. Lukaku can perhaps just replace Ronaldo in a few weeks when both of their respective fixtures switch about completely.
Thanks guys. So is this a no for swapping Antonio for lukaku in general, or a no just for this week for a -8?
If he does rise 0.1 I can do it next week for a -4 by bringing in the injured mendy at 4.4 rather than a playing 4.5 mid, but I’d need to downgrade shaw soon after that if I wanted to swap mendy for a playing mid. I kind of wanted to keep shaw, but needs must I guess
Both. Antonio might be the best value in the game if he stays fit. Could score against anyone
I’d hold your horses and try to plan another way if his price rises. It may not as he didn’t go mental this weekend.
Ok, looking to get on the Lukaku bandwagon, and not sure whether to do it this week, or next.
have 2FT, and I am potless.
Thinking of ditching Bruno-Kovacic, and Cucho->Lukaku
Hopefully my team is linked if anyone wants to see, if not I can post it.
Thoughts?
Do it next week.
good call Kralin.
Do those moves sound like a good idea? Is Kovacic a good replacement for Bruno?
I may need to use 1FT this week as I currently have Ayling & TAA flagged.
Kovacic seems to be channeling his inner Soucek. I’m going to have to do something similar (cheapo for Bruno in order to get Lukaku) but will go for a cheapie in good form with nice fixtures ahead…like Kovacic, indeed…however I’m planning to double on the Chelsea defence so Kovacic may not be for me. He’ll probably score the goal of the season v Man City now.
Given that Chelsea have City next it’s one that can and will wait for me. I’ll be keeping Bruno for Villa. But Chelsea look very good indeed at the moment and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they beat City.
Yeah think I will wait till next week for the Lukaku/Kovacic move.
Just concentrate on shifting out Ayling this week. Livramento is on my radar at the moment. I have to just be mindful of upcoming fixtures and not to overspend so I can do the above mentioned transfers
If I don’t have any fires to put out I’ll be bringing Livramento in this week – on the subject of Chelsea, just one club removed…he’s a great price, hopefully nailed.
good call
Definitely wait until next week
