Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1
And we are off!! Another season of bitter FPL disappointment for most gets rolling when Leicester travels to Old Trafford to take on Jose’s happy warriors. That Friday night fixture is followed by six more on Saturday.
A lunch time affair sees Newcastle and Spurs face off in the battle of who spent the least this transfer window. That is followed by The Cherries vs newcomers Cardiff. Fulham who is also recently promoted, tangle with Palace, Huddersfield plays host to Sarri-ball, Watford dukes it out with Brighton and in the late game we get a first look at the much talked about Wolves side when they face off vs Everton.
Sunday brings us the last three fixtures. Liverpool begin what promises to be an exciting season that is likely to end the same as most, not good enough to win anything. They will take on a new look Hammers team, that 1:30 game is accompanied by a match only a mother could love when Saints take on Burnley. The gameweek is closed out by the best game on paper. When the champions travel to the Emirates to clash with the Wenger-less Gunners.

All cheap and cheerful getting mins and good points.
No I’m gonna stick with my players and save my ft unless there are injuries
Hey wafflez
Me too
Shaws looks tempting tho
Especially if TAA ain’t a starter,
Easy swap cash wise.
Yea but when will Young be back?
Not at this point Bigs
Will be a totally different bunch in GW2 mate! Most likely anyway, no reason to make transfer at this point, and certainly not for players (Shaw) who will lose their spots very soon!!!
Will kind of screw the lads confidence (Shaw) to be dropped. But I do think he will be
Of course it will, but Mou has done it for a few years now…
Did he sign a contract extension? I have some memory of it but cant remember if he had a year left or he extended it
One year left I think, he never signed a new contract I think, he probably wants to leave on a free next summer… (or so he wanted to do after a series of bust-ups with Mou)
Not sure guys he was motm & scored Friday
Defended well too,
Full pre season under his belt.
Surly he’ll keep his spot?
Nope, can’t see it! Only had full pre-season cause Young was in WC, he always defends ok, the way he’s playing doesn’t affect how Mou (the idiot) uses him, not if history is anything to go by… Young will be first choice this season like last season!
He got MOTM? That baffles me. Thought he was naff for the most part to be honest. A fickle rating based on his goal.
As they always are! And the goal was a bit lucky as well, lazy rating by whoever gets to decided the “MOTM”…
I want to drop Cairney (FUL) £5m, should I go for Jorghino (who I talked myself out of) Kante (both CHE) or Neves (WOV) all £5m Jorghino is nailed on to play and good chance Pen’s, Kante now has more freedom and is playing a little further up so can maybe score more from free play, Neves score from open play but team not as solid and robust as CHE.
I am leaning towards the CHE players to be honest.
Mmm..
Maybe give Cairney a couple of games.
I went Jorginho against a the crowd, bonus he takes pens too.
Didn’t see Wolves tonight, but heard a bit on talk sport on the way home, Neves could be good…seems dangerous on set pieces.
did Jorgino just take it cos Hazard wasnt on pitch?
Yeah!
Cairney wasn’t as high up the pitch today as I hoped but we played some lovely football in first 30 mins, albeit pretty yet ineffective. A weak back four let us down but judging by today we’re still trying to play football so could be explosive at times this season.
I have that Zamba (FUL) on the bench, Fulham have Spurs next then a couple of toughish games, did see the game? The “we’re still trying to play football” comment worries me more so with all the new players.
Dropping a player after one game is a recipe for disaster, Terminators. As is chasing the players who did well today: they won’t necessarily (or magically) do exactly the same next week.
I’d give him at least one more game.
I know what you mean but they have Spurs next and all those new players to try out, I have that Zamba who they just signed and he’s going to take someone’s place in MID.
He has to score basically against Spurs and he’s not going to.
I wouldn’t expect miracles from your 5m mids, Terminators. I was pleased with Hughes’ modest 3 points for me today. Actually I wasn’t pleased – I was touched. How could I possibly throw him over this early on?
MOTD time :lurker:
At last 😉
Haha. I’ve already got 8 players on my watchlist from the games I watched earlier
Look what I left on the bench ….. would have been number 1! And so it begins…… the what ifs!
Just realised I wouldn’t….. 67 being the highest….. thank god for that…. softens the blow just a little bit! Hahaha
Yes. I’m half-hoping B Silva doesn’t play tomorrow, so I can get W-B’s points. I doubt I’m the first person to make that point this evening.
I need Aguero and KDB to not play… No thanks!
Yes, exactly.
Great start from the bench though. I can shrug that sort of semi-miraculous thing off from a 4m defender. I was pleased to see Peltier start.
Not happening.
Keep an eye on Sess. If Bryan is out injured he may play lb.
It’s fantasy mos hope for Mick and mendy not to play
My bench looks like yours except I have Topkins and his 6 as my first sub, so 30 sitting there and 33 from my starters. The good thing is I have 5 playing tomorrow all City and Pool.
Neves only scored 6 goals last season. How?
He assists the assister mostly, probably their best player, but not fpl productive.
cheers sz
Hi all. I’m only on 25 points with 6 still to play and seeing some current scores on here I’m feeling a little downbeat and was hoping for more from my players thus far. Like most I have Wan-B on the bench.
I took a few hits last year and still finished in the top 10k so am not adverse to the odd hit. With the likes of Shaw I will ignore as he will likely lose his place but with team value making a difference later in the season (especially when using the WC) would like likes of Neves, Pogba, Jorginho be worth getting in before a price rise? I know you can’t base much on 1 game but players I may be looking to switch from my team are Mkhitaryan (depending on performance tomorrow) and possibly Sessegnon.
I’m behind on motd igy but Jorginho possibly only took the penalty as Hazard wasnt on the pitch and Pogba said he wud give the next pen to Sanchez. Nevez only scored 6 last year so it might be the time to sit on the hands
I’m on 25 as well and am very chilled about it. Was quite pleased, in fact, given the angst over Shaw last night. Richarlison saved me today. Loads of players to go tomorrow and not bad ones at that.
There are a lot of very positive words being written about Neves so he’s one to watch – but Leicester next, then Man City.
Thanks guys! I’ll likely sit on my hands too. I’m watching motd and Neves did look good with a few shots and some nice passes so he will be on my watchlist. If anything I’m going to see what happens with Sess and whether he will be utilised at LB as that may then be my first transfer.
Hey Igy.
25 is fine – above the average so far. Worth remembering that all the players with great scores come on here and tell everyone about it, whilst the silent majority just look in and quietly sob into their keyboard
True that Red! I guess I just expected more from Davies and Sessegnon today but I do still have Robertson, Salah (c), Firmino, Mendy, Aguero and Mkhitaryan still to play so could all change! Hey, someone in my ML captained Shelvey so I imagine he is crying silently right now!
I’m also wondering how much team value really counts when making those early gains. Hegazi and Richarlison come to mind from last year who really gained TV early and can be the difference of around a million when using a WC late on. That could be the difference between getting KDB who will likely play and another city mid who would be a gamble each week.
I used to be a big fan of building TV but I’ve seen plenty on here get great rankings with about £3m less than me, so not sure it counts for all that much. It feels good to get all the ‘bug’ players in until they blank for three weeks, which they all do. I am a specialist and getting KDB in just when he goes off the boil and getting rid of just before he comes back on ito it…c’est la vie!
Anyone that captained Shelvey deserved what they get, whether it’s good or bad
