Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 18
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 18. Just the 9 fixtures to negotiate this week as Liverpool swan around in Dubai, meaning many an FPL manager could conceivably have something like 20% of their FPL budget riding their bench.
We begin on Saturday lunchtime with what will probably be Big Dunc’s last hurrah in the dugout at Goodison, at least for a while. We all know what’s coming and more importantly Arsenal know what’s coming. Could you pick a less spineless side to sign off against in what will be a thunderous atmosphere? No. Good luck Mesut and co…
3pm then sees a veritable feast of mid-table / relegation candidates battle it out in 5 fixtures you probably wouldn’t want to pay to see with stolen money.
Saturday evening is more like it as Man City host Leicester to see if either can gain some sneaky ground on Liverpool, in their race to finish 2nd.
Sunday sees a swift finish to GW18 with Man United visiting Watford at 2pm before Spurs and Chelsea do battle at 4pm.
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!
Thanks for reading Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 18.

“only” 151 points behind rank 1 atm :big-lol:
Loud Atlas
Closer than the rest of us, probably
.
bees393
31 Points with Alli, Son, Rash and Tammy to go. Cantwell on the bench of course.
How are you guys doing?
Wafflez
54 (-4) with Alli, Abraham and Rashford left
bees393
Good job Wafflez…you are going great guns mate!
Wafflez
Need that after last gw, had a gw rank below 4 million
Stone Frog
39 with Son, Alli Abraham and Mount to play
ODT
I should end up with 41 if bonus points hold with Son, Tammy and Rashford left to play.
Loud Atlas
39 points with Son (C), Mount and Abraham to go.

Hi guys advice please. I think Mousset and McGinn are my big issues. 4.3 ITB 1 FT. Happy to take a hit.
Loud Atlas
I think Mousset will be ok vs WAT. Your problem’s your bench, really. Do you fancy double SHU defence by changing Janmaat to O’Connell? Then play him over Soy? (Watford haven’t scored a goal since 30/11.)
Admittedly, MCI and LIV are on 28th and 1st, but you’d ve better off with double SHU than a single WAT defender.
Or sort McGinn out – to Mount?
Tekno-kun
Lundstram captain then, given Watford’s lack of goals!? :yes:
Loud Atlas
He would be quite the differential! 😎
Brookyboy
You could leave Mossett on your bench and switch to 3-5-2 ? Mcginn to Grealish or maybe Moura to take advantage of Spurs great little run of fixtures and lose Janmaat to Aurier ?
Stone Frog
McGinn to Alli
GentleBenAKA
Cheers guys – some really good food for thought!
Kunal
Hey guys,
Should I WC this week or let it run to the last week?
inittowinit
This is the last week?!
Loud Atlas
Not the last GW, though
. It needs to be played before 28/12 @ 11:30 (GW20), therefore can be activated 26/12 @ 11:31 (beginning of GW19) so the changes come into effect for GW20.
Kunal
yes no clue how I didn’t use it until now, got some patience
Loud Atlas
Next week – your team’s fine. I’ve got the same dilemma – think I’ll do mine next week, too.
Kunal
cheers, I’m conflicted rn, maybe price rises might force my hand, otherwise I might hold it

Morning guys(IST). 41 points with Gazza, Son and Kane(c) led to play. Sadly my Cup run seems to be over. Opponent had Cantwell, Pope and O Connell. All of them returned points. Unless Son and Gazza give me like 20 points, can’t catch him as he also has Kane(c).
Anyways, have 2 FT now. Thinking of Zaha + Doherty to Grealish and. Utd def. Earlier plan was to remove Ings, but he is in good firm. So, not sure. What say?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Zaha to Grealish I’m on board with, despite Villa’s struggles, it all seems to be going through him just now.
Couple of names to consider for Doherty as well would be Joe Gomez and, hate myself for saying this but he might just be an option again – Nicolas Otamendi.
constantine
Cheers GP. Liverpool have difficult next few fixtures. I was also looking at Mendy. You think he’s nailed? Ota looks a great pick for City’s sumptuous run of fixtures. Guardiola looks hungry for wins and hopefully we’d get some CS on course.
s
What are people doing with Jiminez?
Keeping or getting rid.
Got to hard games next
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Just two 2-pointers in his last ELEVEN games including 10 points the last time he played City (away), I think he’s worth a bit of trust especially with Watford, Newcastle and Southampton straight after.
Wafflez
Form over fixtures, if I had him I would play him
beno1234
Jealous I don’t have him!
Loud Atlas
I think I’ll be wildcardig him in ; he’s virtually fixture-proof. His stats are impressive.
Wanton
Keep him. There isn’t a PL player who scored more goals than Raul against the best six teams.
