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…

So I know everyone or most people are gonna drop some Pool players. I’m thinking Tomori to Kelly and Mount to Rashford myself. Watcha reckon?
You already have rashford lol.plus rashford is a midfielder. Who will you change mount to?
Rashford is a forward***
Yes. Do Mount to Rashford.
Do you mean Mount to Martial?
When is the last week we can wildcard? Or when are people going to wildcard with it still left?
On the pl rules page:
When can I play a wildcard? The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season, once in the first half of the season (before Sat 28 Dec 03:30) and once in the second half of the season. Wildcards are played on the transfers page but aren’t active until you have confirmed the transfers.

Gw20 would be the last time to use it
Thanks
Could have easily been Google.
To reply to your second question: I’m tempted to transfer Salah out (and maybe TAA) for someone for GW18 then WC him back in and tidy up any niggling issues (Tielemans & Mount) for GW19.
GW18’s fixtures are too close to call and many of us have several players from several decent teams – who are all playing each other :blink: . It’ll be a tricky GW!
I will use 2FTs to remove Mane (and maybe TAA although there’s no defender I like for next week so might just leave him in and get someone in for Tielemans instead) and then WC GW19…. Don’t mind Salah/Mane for Leicester as they showed today they aren’t that good defensively, I can see that being a high-scoring game rather than a low-scoring one, although one never knows…
Norwich had loads of chances to score
Smash, GW19 is the last time you can use it. It expires at the deadline for GW20. I saw Eresh suggest it was available in 20 so thought I’d best interject as I wouldn’t want you being under the wrong impression.
Fck! I thought I could play mine ahead of GW20. GW19 is far from ideal.
I don’t think so, unless I’m misreading the rules. Says 3.30 on the pics above but that’s only a time zone thing, it states 11.30am on the 28th as being when it expires on our page view over here.
To clarify, Kop, you can use it IN 19, so ergo ‘ahead’ of 20, depends what you mean yourself though!
Perfect. As long as I can play it ahead of GW20. Given how long I’ve been playing you’d think I’d know the rules at this stage!
Yes. :mosking:
Bad GW incoming
No shit
We’re all in the same sinking boat, at least :drinks: . Salah is looking like the silver lining for me!
Guilt of chasing points, got Mousset in the other week and transferred him out for Ings this week.
Good
Ings was a good move in theory, he’s in-form. Shame it didn’t come off today!
Do I just wildcard now? I seem to be having a pretty shocking season
Who would you lose Smash? Connolly/Pulisic/zaha/tomori maybe KDB?
Almost feels one week early as you could potentially go Salah and Mane?
Yeah my gut was it’s one week early maybe two weeks early. Thinking either Sterling or Alli in for Mane. It’s difficult to fit Salah and Mane in but yeah it’s possible if KDB goes. Do I want to go without City assets I’m not sure.
i wouldnt double up on pool against leicester. maybe after gw 20 yes
You might be right there
Depends on your FTs.
Could do this with placeholders for Salah and Mane
Placeholders being Sterling and KDB
Seems too many sacrifices there
What are the sacrifices? TAA is one but Liverpool look like they are going to concede every game
King n Heaton I guess.
There is that. Both have a decent run of games though now
Villa have been poor defensively. I actually think their play has deserved more. But they are dangerously close to the relegation zone.
King – don’t know. Can’t recall him doing much of late.
Think I’ll leave it for now. Just saw King limped off again. He’s been injured.
WC or sort with 2FTs?
Feels like a 5 defenders at the back kinda GW.
Similar problem to me by the looks of it
