Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22. Happy New Year! Coming thick and fast these game-weeks aren’t they? And this one is our first DGW of the season with Spurs and West Ham having two matches each. It is their rearranged derby that concludes our GW on Thursday, but before then we have three days of action. Today sees five matches – the lunchtime fun sees a south coast battle as Brighton host Bournemouth. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy then at 3pm we have the Liverpool attack vs the Burnley defence, Leicester welcoming Huddersfield and Newcastle travelling to Stoke. The evening fun takes us to Goodison with Rooney inviting his old United mates over for a drink. And extras.
Tuesday sees four further matches in the evening – Palace go to Southampton, Swansea host Spurs, West Ham and West Brom meet and Man City pound Watford.
The best is yet to come. Wednesday sees just one match, but what a match as Arsenal meet Chelsea at the Emirates.
Our New Year extravaganza then comes to a conclusion with Spurs’ and West Ham’s double date at Wembley.
Time to go large, score well and enjoy!

No bonus for kun and Alli
Kun wasn’t up to s lot. Shocked Ali didn’t get some though
Not sure why Llorente gets 2 and Ali gets none….?
Is Llorente’s goal deemed as the “winner” for the bps system?
How and why ???
That’s what I’m asking …
At a certain point he was below Erik on bps and he had been subbed already. Erik didn’t loose any relevant amount and then Llorente was above him all of a sudden. My only take on this is that maybe the bps for scoring the winner are only added after FT and maybe they are given to whoever unites the teams, in case of +1 goal differences. Not sure if any of this makes sense though, thus my question, but it really is the only way to explain Llorente above Erik.
But he didn’t score the winner. And I wasn’t even aware that there were extra points in the BPS for doing so, even if he did. Which he didn’t
There are! 3 to be precise. They call it ‘scoring the goal that wins the match’.
My doubt here is what’s the goal that wins the match when the winning team wins by a +1 goal difference? For example, which goal won Spurs the match, Llorente’s (that untied the teams) or Alli’s (by any random reason)?
Alli’s did.
I’m not convinced by that. Makes more sense to me to award it to whoever untied it. In other words, Alli’s didn’t have an impact on the result whereas Llorente’s, at the time, did. The winning goal should be the one that unties the game. If it’s a 2-1 than it’s obviously the second goal for the winning team, regardless of the goals’ order. But on a 5-0 it’s got to be the first, no?
I would respectfully disagree DMC. Alli’s was the winner. There can be no argument on that point.
In a 5-0 win then that’s different. And there’s an argument to be had that there is no ‘winner’ scored in that respect. And by their rules then none should be awarded.
And so why are they awarding points if it’s all square and somebody scores a winner? As opposed to a clear winner in a 5-0? Who got the 3 BPS for the winner in that?
Serious point. They are being ambiguous again.
DMC is right here. By the rules of FPL, Llorente’s goal was the ‘winner’.
Alli just made the score line safer for Spurs.
That’s how they view it.
Not saying they are right or wrong, but that’s what they do.
Yeah I appreciate it is ambiguous and I couldn’t find any explanation online on how do they award it. But Cookie seems to be sure about it and I do think it’s what makes more sense. The goal that separates the teams is more important than the ones that may follow it. Some cases could be tougher to decide. For example, in a 5-0 it would be the first one, but on a 5-1 it would be the second goal.
Sometime they probably don’t award it like perhaps City’s second goal yesterday. That’s the goal that eventually won them the game but given it was an OG they probably didn’t award any bps for that.
Anyway, I emailed them on this last night and will get back to you when I get an answer.
I give up. It defies all logic.
Basically, if Swansea had scored last night and Spurs won 2-1, Alli would have been deemed, by them, to have scored the ‘winning goal’.
Averages!
Lol mofos. They took away 8 bps.
Really need Kane to repay in the next game. Can’t see a hattrick though, but a goal and an assist won’t be bad.
Evening lads, a thought struck me today and wanted to get your opinions to see how crazy it is. Does anyone think it could be a good idea to have at least one player playing Stoke every week?
Just did a bit of a mess plan there and came up with the idea to use my ft most weeks to change my 5th mid.
GW 23 = Lanzini to Lingard
GW24 = Save FT as Stoke play Hudd
GW25 = Lingard to Richarlison
GW26 = Save FT as Stoke play Bournemouth
GW27 = Richarlison to Groß
Kind of stopped there because if Hughes isn’t sacked by then I’d be surprised. What do you think?
Gw24 could also be Lingard to Mooy
Those meds strong I take it Matt?
Strong enough 😉 but I was just thinking that Stoke haven’t kept a CS since GW10
Probably no harm in it if you have a spare transfer every week and nothing else happens to your team, but the chances of actually being able to stick to the plan without needing a hit are pretty slim I would reckon.
Oh I know like I wouldn’t take hits for it unless Stoke get even worse and you were guareenteed goals against them.
KDB —> Eriksen, turning a -4 into a rare -8 yesterday, hasn’t quite gone how I’d anticipated! Pep can piss off.
Its all smoke & mirrors with him James. Same as Jose, only 10x more subtle. He hasn’t a clue where Silva is etc, that says it all. Can’t blame him, I’d do the same!
