Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 17
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 17. Liverpool’s relentless march towards the title sees them kick us off Saturday lunchtime against bottom dwellers Watford, this one could get ugly. We then have four 3pm games with Burnley 0-0 Newcastle, Chelsea hoping to get back on track against Bournemouth, Leicester chasing Canaries and Wilder’s Blades hoping to blunt Smith’s Villains. No need for sleeping pills on Saturday evening as the Saints host West Ham, whoopee!
Sunday promises to be much more interesting and we begin with Big Dunc taking his kilt and bayonet to see Little Ole. Wolves and Spurs is the other early game before Arsenal host Pep at 4.30pm.
We close out on Monday evening with the oddest of odd derbies as Palace ‘welcome’ Brighton.
The games in full…

Targett or Rico? Possible long term move, definitely playing this weekend
Rico out of the 2. Assuming u already have Kelly, if not consider Kelly
So far this season I got the (right) captain 3 times, Vardy twice and Kevin once, that’s simply abysmal record haha
I feel the pain my picks have been. Shocking usually between two players and I get it wrong every time
Not sure why you got right in brackets.
Best sub 4.6 defender for the next few GWs? Need to ship out Tomori
Kelly, Target, Guilbert, Pieters?
Already have Rico Lundstram and Willems.
Kelly, Palace have been good defensively of late.
+1
Hi all
Chelsea assets have to go, who should go first? Should I bench both my Liverpool players? 2FT 0.9ITB
Pope Ryan
TTA Lundstram Soyuncu Rico Kelly
KDB Mane Pulisic Mount Son
Vardy Jimenez Greenwood
Bench Liverpool players and how about either:
Pulisic to Lucas Moura
Or
Mount to Daniel James
Or
Both?
Cheers, not so sure im the triple Spurs Mids. Was thinking either Richarlison or Martial?
That would only give you two Spurs midfielders though. (Wouldn’t it?)
Ah sorry slightly out of date side no KDB have Alli instead. Looking at Pulisic to KDB and TAA to Aurier or Baldock?
Sounds OK then.
Hey GP,
Any thoughts on what you’d do here?
I messed up this week with KDB and Jimenez to Son and Tammy…
Tbh I want them back but also want Son. Can’t see a way of doing it without losing TAA.
Any thoughts? Only 1FT and 0.2m
I would try to be patient and make moves based upon a broader run of games. For instance the double Spurs coverage in midfield is probably worth it for their three games after this weekend.
Similarly, Abraham has five excellent games after this weekend too.
See how the week pans out but you could well save there.
Thanks GP.
My only thought was to get Kelly in for TAA to free up funds to do Alli to KDB.
But you are right and not sure I want to go without TAA long term.
Thanks
***Warning warning, long ramble coming up – fasten your seatbelts!!!***
Hear ye hear ye, young FPLers, for mine is a sorry tale of misery and misfortune and self-sabotage!!! Let it serve as a lesson for ye all and n’er to forget the great rule:
DO NOT GIVE IN TO PANIC TRADING – HOLD ONTO YOUR LITTLE WEE GUNS!!!
For I once soared the lofty heights (12k in GW 13), but started to slip a little (17k in GW 14 – back to 14k in GW 15) so decided to take dire action and:
– Exchanged Sterling and Jiminez for Jesus and Alli, (only to lose points on this and slip to 23k) in GW 16
– Totally freaked out after GW 16, seeing the rise of United and Spurs, believing my team to be totally ‘passé’ with panic moves of Jesus/Pulisic/Janmaat to Rashers/Son/Hanley – only to fall short by about 16points (after deducting 8 point hit!!!)
I’m now in 54,497th spot – which is not too bad you might say, and now I’ve got the following team, which seems brilliant to me, but could actually cause further falls:
Pope – McGovern
TAA – Soy sauce – Lundy – Rico – Hanley
Mané – Son – Alli – Maddie – Kanté
Vardy – Rashford – Abraham
1 FT + 0 ITB
Was thinking (rashly I might add!) that next GW, this lot ain’t gonna get me back up the ladder , so was envisaging a short term move of selling Mané and getting in Richarlison, then in a couple of weeks (pending Pool injuries), buying back Mané – which would not work out financially, so I’d probably have to sell TAA for VVD to get Mané.
What do you all think? Imprudence? Stupidity? Canny short term shift of players to capitalise on Everton’s recent resurgence during Pool absence (and upcoming difficult match vs Leicester)????
Many thanks for reading thus far! Many more if you have any advice!
AJW (p.s. not looking forward to seeing my rankings after tonight’s match!)
Hey AJW
Your team is pretty similar to mine. I also made a mistake in losing KDB and Jimenez.
I think you have a good team you can play this week and would keep going with it (4-4-2 for this week).
Thanks Beno. Yeah I will try and keep things calm for a while! See you round.
AJW, you ol’ bugger, you.
You need to calm down, dear. You have to stop chasing your old ranking. Its painful, I know. But where you were in GW13 is irrelevant, means nothing. So forget it, look forward.
As Boycs would say, the bowler (FPL) is bowling you balls in the corridor or uncertainty. Do you attack, defend or leave?
Personally I like your Richarlison punt for Manè. Though I wouldn’t want to be apart from Manè for long to be truthful.
However, I’d defo hang onto TAA, he’s a keeper. Well he’s actually a defender/winger, but you know what I mean! Rashford however you can lose to Jimenez to fund Manè back.
Hope that makes sense! Ish.
Brought me back to Boycott! Damn it – thought I could get away with a ‘googlie’ on that front! Will have to play like Sir Geoffrey from now on – also I dunno if I want to rush out Rashers too soon, as he hasn’t had time to do anything for Squirrel CIty (ma team!) yet. Also, FOMO of not having Mané the second he comes off that plane from Qatar or wherever (scandal because of exploitation and deaths of foreign workers on the stadiums over there!). Just hopin that it works out for me – will make a decision on Richo at the end of the week.
Thanks Cookster me old ex expat! Hope you and the bairns and the wifie are alright over there! Cheers. AJW
