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.

Your team name from last season and your new team name if it has changed,
I vote for an extra FPL chip called the substitution chip. You only get 1 during the season which allows you to substitute one or all of your bench in a given gameweek. You have 1 hour after the last game of the week to activate it or something along those lines!
you would use it in this 1st GW, wouldn’t you? 😛
It all depends who you have on the bench though. Do you use it when 1 player on your bench scores 12 points and thus swapping one player or do you take the gamble to wait in the hope all the players do well which may mean you miss out by waiting for something that never arrives?
i think 12 is above the line mate..
That chip would be ace. Similar to an idea I had last season for a ‘Best XI’ chip. Played once per season, it would autosub at the end of the GW to ensure that your best starting XI is fielded (subject to formation rules). So, for one week at least, you’d have a guarantee of not leaving your highest scoring players on your bench. The challenge would be when to play it to achieve maximum gains, as some weeks you get the benching decisions right anyway.
Yeah I like that Chipster. It’s a gamble when to use it especially if you have to activate it before the gameweek deadline as you say, you may already have the best 11, you may only make a couple of points but there is the chance of some serious points being made.
Agree 1 million % fraser and wan bissaka 23 points sat on my bench.
Sigh why did I rid Richarlison! Argh! Should I do Jota to Richarlison?
first of all wait for the news on his injury lsd
Thanks ! If he is injury free – Jota to Richardlison – or should I just save my transfer .
Jota looks well worth holding onto. Richarlison (if fit) is a must-have, so “downgrade” from another midfielder to get him and free up some cash.
In the same boat but I’m not. Always worth waiting until after GW2 before jumping on the bandwagon I find, as very often you need transfers to replace non-starters.
Or is that just me? :cuss:
That’s probably the way to go about it.
But I own Richarlison, so that’s easy for me to say.
Good on you mitro! Guess my frustration stems from the fact I had richardlison from my first draft all the way to the last one – but I cut him out just at the last moment. Lol
I was so proud of myself for getting Pogba in right before the deadline. When doing that transfer of selling Ozil to Pogba, I decided to an extra one, I got Jota in for Pereyra.
Sigh….
Mito! Not sure how that became mitro!
Whoa! A big week could have become an even bigger week! Lol this season is going to be soo fun! On a separate note – any thoughts of Fulham players? I watched shurrle – might be something in it for him as a 6.0 MM playing as a forward/winger.
Will have to see more from him. He had zero shots and with Fulham being down 1-0 he was subbed out in the 63rd minute. Heard he should have been awarded a pen though, if true, that’s one positive.
Now look who’s considered Watford players! At least I confessed before they came good… 😉
I liked Pereyra, a player I knew was decent if fit, not that fraud Hughes. 😉
What have you got against (Will) Hughes, Mito?
Seems like Hughes was on the wing, not used centrally. Would be (semi) interested to hear why he’s being described a ‘fraud’.
Red Robbo! I think that’s sage advice!
Is it me or all the pre season talk of not panicking gets thrown out of the window when the season starts lol
The panic spreads fast. Just wait until people panic after their Pool/City players blank this week I guarantee you a couple of people will be asking on here if they should wildcard
.
:say-what: Oh shit I only have 31 points with 7 to go and Jagielka 0n the bench with a red card!!! should I, should I use my WC? I really need to know. LMAO 👿
When do the price increases start to kick in?
Hard to tell until there is some increases and decreases. The people who try and predict that need some movement so they can start on figuring out what thresholds they are using. Doesn’t feel like anyone has been bought or sold enough to move yet.
I use fplstatistics but what’s the best way of finding out who’s actually increased/decreased in price overnight?
Just use that site and sort by (click on) Chgs.
So nobody yet in the hot race between Shaw and Neves.
Cheers Kralin but damn I feel stupid now! Used that site for couple of years at least and never new you could do that!
I use that site, I didn’t know if prices were locked the first week or so.
It’s an odd place to be in, hoping that one of my three City or three Pool don’t play, so my first sub Wan-B can come on!
Happy that I decided to give Richarlison a go. Almost unhappy I didn’t put Shaw in but to be honest I never really considered him, and that was a freak goal! Very unhappy I took my OOP Schlupp out of my team because I had “too many Palace”. King a disappointment.
22 points with 6 players (Mendy/BSilva/Aguero/Robertson/Salah/Firmino) to come. I’m not panicking just yet………
No, need to panic. A huge amount of fiirepower to come today.
After that, total panic / complete meltdown OK yes?
Hopefully the tone on site later won’t take on the flavour of a therapy session.
I’m sure all will be fine and we won’t be seeing too many fast moving vehicles with flashing lights, full of fantasy managers laced up in straitjackets.
Morning all any players we should be looking at Watford & Cry looked good but against poorer teams , Pedro & Jorg looked ok & what can you say about Alonso he could have had a goal as well still getting fwd
Alonso might be interesting to keep an eye on. Prob too early yet Silvers.
Morning Dreamers yes one to keep an eye on just catching the highlights now
Anyone made any transfers yet?!
No – yourself?
All going well will make the first transfer(s) after the dust has settled on GW2. But an injury today may force my hand.
I nearly bought Richarlison last night, annoyed I took him out instead of Jota Friday pre-deadline. My error.
His ‘injury’ put me off.
I did it the other way round and took Jota out for Richarlison.Had a funny feeling he was going to do something.
Morning Cookie I will almost certainly make a TF soon you know I like to build some funds
Hi Silvers, wrt your comment I’ve never really understood the growth in team value through transfer gaming. Is the premise that a transfer ahead of GW closure on a player that is likely to be treated as a bandwagon will then grow the team value?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
Analyst To be fair you have to get on the right bandwagon, but to build up team value if you jump on a player that has done well & has a reasonable fixture nk Gw it can work
If a player you have taken goes up by 0.2 when you sell its makes you 0.1m
Some players you take you won’t what to lose but some I offload so in the second half of the season & when I play my WC it helps get better players
Cheers Silvers. Certainly clarifies a few things.
Trigger finger Silvers!!
Trigger was the nickname of my Grandfather, who umpired in the Notts leagues during the 70’s and 80’s. Joel Garner loved him…
I doubt many batsmen did!!
Yes.
What you done GP?!!
Or were you answering Silvers?
Haven’t done anything pal.
Just seeing if I could get a bite.
I misread the Richarlison one too.
