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.
Good luck to absolutely everyone for Gameweek 5 from all at FF247!

Maybe I’ve missed the boat, but how is Salah’s corner (where the Gauita punches it out) and then Keita scores.. not considered an assist for Salah?
Clearance not a save (rebound)?
Goalkeepers punch a lot of shots,corners and free kicks,which are classed as saves, so why is this corner different?He should have caught it but decided to punch,as if he hadn’t it would have gone in. What is different about Salah’s header that was saved going over the line, and Salah’s corner that was saved from going over the line?
One assist was awarded anmd the other wasn’t.
Full disclosure Kruz, I’m playing devil’s advocate here – I haven’t seen it.
Just offering a ‘possible’ answer.
I’m about to get tidied up and sit down with a glass of red and watch match of the day. I’ll know more after that I hope.
This conversation is taking on the flavour of Dealey Plaza.
I doubt an AI exists that could answer to everyone’s satisfaction the more recondite corners of the rules of this game. It’s like trying to see all the shadows cast by a particular object.
Kruz
The corner wasn’t going ‘in’, therefore not a shot on goal.
Salahs corner was not a save by the keeper. It was a clearance. Correctly no assist.
I had C on Salah, I watched it live and didn’t think he would get the assist
Bachmann owners have an issue.
Got Foster as a backup, so hopefully Elliott will remain third choice
At least until i play my wc , won’t “waste” a ft on s goalie.
Foster at home vs Newcastle will be better than Sanchez away to Palace.
I got Torres in a few weeks ago chacing points.
He didn’t play last night, does that increase or decrease his chances of playing next week?
Depends if he plays Tuesday as well. Who knows?
This is it with Pep, you’ve technically brought a ticket for a lottery. Good luck!
He didn’t make the pitch and they failed to score at home to Saints is probably a good thing for Torres playing long term
Apart from 1 match, he hasn’t done much.
Just like other man city attackers he will be rotated especially with kdb and foden also back
Any thoughts of Livramento as a midfielder? I think many of you already have him in the squad, but occasional OOP for a 4.1£ sounds like I should swap him in. Hasenhuttl:
Think he would have played there vs City if they intended to use him there. However he’s a quality player and I’d expect to see an attacking return soon
Vlasic as make-shift center forward? Did not expect that.
West Han vs Man United
