Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 18
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 18. The silly season officially begins here. We have no less than 40 games spanning the next 14 days taking in 4 GW’s in total. We can but recommend you stick close to both our Fixture Tracker and our on-site Countdown Timer to keep track of when each GW begins, but as a helpful little ditty to perhaps take a ‘snap of’, the deadlines are as follows (all times are GMT) –
GW18 Friday 21st December 7PM
GW19 Wednesday 26th December 11.30AM
GW20 Saturday 29th December 3PM
GW21 Tuesday 1st January 11.30AM
As for this GW we begin on Friday and end on Sunday with the majority of the games on Saturday for a pleasant change. Wolves and Liverpool kick us off this evening as the current league leaders look to put the pressure on their chasers by extending their overnight lead to 4 points over Man City.
Saturday begins with many an FPL manager sweating over the Arsenal line-up as they play host to an ever increasingly tight Burnley side. Six 3PM kick-offs follow with Bournemouth and Brighton both looking to regain some sort of form, Chelsea hoping to continue their own pursuit against Leicester, Huddersfield look to stop the new beer flowing against the Saints, Man City probably playing catch up against Palace, Newcastle hoping Mitro doesn’t come back to haunt them and West Ham look for 5 wins in a row for who knows how long as they host Watford.
Saturday evening could be intriguing as Cardiff look to take 3 points off fellow strugglers Man United.
Our only game on a barren Sunday is Everton vs Spurs. Harry Kane may not know it but this could be his final rehearsal for many FPL managers, especially if Kun shows up on Saturday.
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 18 from all at FF247!

Would’ve had a great gameweek but captained Sterling!….
Any ideas what to do with my 2 FTs guys?
0.2m ITB
Thanks
TheDreamers
What’s in the bank beno?
What would pereya sell for?
beno1234
0.2 pal.
Perreya would only get me 6.2m.
Wanted him out a while but weirdly he’s actually done alright for me recently – 22 points in 3 weeks haha
TheDreamers
What’s his fixtures like? That’s a decent return. If not great, then ur suggestion below including Ings works. Ings has 2 nasty fixtures. But it’s only 2. The others they can be competitive in.
theswirly
Maybe just do Wilson to Rashford?
beno1234
0.3 short of that!
I had Wilson from pretty early on so only get 6.5m for him
theswirly
Ah, that’s a bugger. How about Jimenez, who’ll be against a leaky Fulham defence?
beno1234
Could do Perreya and Wilson to Martial and Ings?
Ings fixtures aren’t great though
beno1234
Sterling and Perreya to Sané and Pogba ooo….
theswirly
Yeah, that could be good. Wilson on the bench on a 4-4-2, I presume?
beno1234
Nah hojbjerg on the bench still and Wilson would play. Tbh I think Wilson can still score against the big teams (he did earlier in the year)
theswirly
You’d have a midfield of Anderson, Sane, Pogba and Richarlison wouldn’t you? I wouldn’t start Wilson over any of them this gameweek.
beno1234
Yep that’s right swirly! Swear it said 3-5-2 it must be Christmas getting to me.
Don’t think I’d lose much with Sané vs sterling?
theswirly
I’m looking at bringing in Salah soon, so Sterling to Sane is definitely something I’m considering. Sane has a form of 7.3, whilst Sterling is 5.8 – and he’s almost £2m cheaper!
TheDreamers
What’s the view on Richarlison? Fixtures improving I think but are there better options such as Martial or Anderson?
theswirly
I’m keeping hold but would be more tempted to bring in Martial or Anderson if I didn’t have him.
Kralin
Keeping for now.
Smash
Keeping
Zed Leppelin
I have all three :woot:
Zed Leppelin
Would sell Anderson before Richarlison though so keeping!
Otieno
Keeping Richi. Going Siggy to Lingard
s
Evening all
What to do?
Got 2 ft 0.3 in the bank.
Chicarito to Rashford ?
TheDreamers
What’s the story with Lukaku?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
:ok: like it.
Ryan to Fabianski as well maybe?
theswirly
+1 though I’d add Hart has some good fixtures now too.
s
Cheers all
Zed Leppelin
He already has 3 Hammers
Zed Leppelin
And obviously he could do it with Chica to Rashford…. Now who’s not reading these posts properly? 😆
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)

Hi all. Hope your gameweek was better than mine. Son saved me somewhat!
2FT, £0.1m itb.
Thinking Rashford for injured Chic, and Lovren for Bellerin. I’d prefer Martial or Pogba, but think that’d involve a hit.
Thoughts?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Sounds good AT.
theswirly
Makes perfect sense to.me. means you can have a back three of Lovren, Doherty and Young. I think City will be all guns blazing against Leicester to try to make up for lost time, so having both Sane and Sterling could be very lucrative.
Kralin
I think I’d captain Kane. Not start Schindler. Prioritise injured players (no idea how bad the Chic is, but maybe wait on that). Bellerin maybe a higher priority to move on. May be worth thinking about Liverpool defenders. Or Digne.
AT
Cheers all.
I’d have to move tonight to make Rashford and Lovren. Hamstring doesn’t sound good though, but I would be pretty annoyed if he started given the hammers’ good fixtures!
theswirly
But then Rashford could tear Huddersfield a new one too!
AT
Yep, there is that!
Zed Leppelin
Defo needs some players from the top of the league team at the moment! 😉 Bobbyson and Salah, to name a few 🙂
Neilos
Hi all. Pretty poor week with 45. I have 1 ft left after bringing in Martial. Have 0.1 in the bank. Suggestions please. Thanks all
AT
Think I’d save it! Team looks good for boxing day
theswirly
+1 though id be tempted to play Hennessey over McCarthy just in case he is fit.
Neilos
Cheers AT and Swirly. Rotten luck the last few weeks. Need them green arrows back
theswirly
I know the feeling. This season has been rotten for me too, but we just need to stay optimistic
Neilos
Swirly I’ve been picking the wrong captain for weeks lol. Need to stop overthinking and enjoy it
theswirly
You and me both, pal. We can only go by what we think is the most likely outcome. No one could have predicted Palace would beat City 3-2 with Sterling blanking and then Spurs going on to do what they did. I know I wasn’t expecting Foster to smash it against West Ham either!
Neilos
Just seen your score. You smashed it. What moves you got planned for the next gameweek
TheDreamers
Is Young worth the extra money over Shaw?
theswirly
I wouldn’t really say so, no.
TheDreamers
Thanks swirly. What do u think of the idea of Shaw?
Have Vertonghen and Dunk and given the potential of rotation, seems a good idea to bring in a defender.
theswirly
Doherty, Wan B and Robbo to start this week, I presume. So, you don’t necessarily need a player who has a good fixture this week but does next gameweek onwards who you can rotate with or can step in should any of those three not start. How about Holebas or one of the Leicester defenders who have a good match next gameweek?
TheDreamers
Isn’t there the possibility of say Robertson being rotated this gw?
theswirly
There is that risk, but I personally wouldn’t want to also have a player with a favourable fixture on the bench because it’d be just my luck I’d play the wrong one out of the two!
AT
Absolutely not, and I have Young. To be honest, I’m waiting for Young to get benched 😆
TheDreamers
Isn’t he captain AT?
AT
Think so, but I don’t know if that makes him nailed! Dalot and Shaw could easily take the full back spots
TheDreamers
He surely will play the same team ?
