Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 23
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 23. We’ve gone from feast to famine in terms of a hectic Christmas and NY period to the lull of FA Cup weekend. However we return to normality this week – a 3-day gameweek! We kick off with six 3pm matches – Danny Drinkwater gets a chance to show his old employers how far he has come as he watches Chelsea host Leicester. From the bench presumably. Palace welcome Burnley, West Ham go to Huddersfield, basement dwellers Swansea travel to Newcastle, Watford and Saints meet at Vicarage Road and Lord Pardew looks to continue West Brom’s brilliant run as they host Brighton. The evening match sees bus driver Big Sam drive down to Spurs.
Sunday sees two matches – first up is Wilshere’s journey back to his best days as Arsenal go to Bournemouth before the highlight of the gameweek as Raheem is another to make a return as Man City take the short trip across to Liverpool.
Our gameweek concludes with a Monday night special as under fire Mark Hughes continues the themes of returns as he takes his relegation threatened Stoke lot to Man United.

Pancho
68 should get me a green arrow, just not as big as I would have liked. At least it’s green though!
Thinking of Eriksen & Vardy -> Salah & Firmino
Where should I raise the extra .3?
1. Otamendi-> Stones
2. GroB -> ???
3. Just do Erik -> Salah
4. Something I’m missing?
Smash10
Option 3
Gavy
+1
The B
Id keep Vardy. He has strong home fixtures coming up. Might match Firmino’s points easily.
Pancho
Thanks guys. Rueing. Or having anyone from Pool or United right now. City boys let me down today. Oh well…
Pancho
What about GroB -> Ox as well as the Salah move?
Smash10
Not for me. Ox has never really produced
Neilos
Agree with you Smash – however his improvement and form makes me wonder………….
Smash10
He has just expecting Lallana to take his place once he’s fully fit
Kop Warrior
I’m not sure if Ox is fantasy relevant at present. However, you can already see an improvement in his game since joining Liverpool.
Raziel
Losing Ota after 1 bad game?
Pancho
Hey Raz, not wanting to but needing to raise .3 if I go for Firmino. These chaps have convinced me to hold onto Vardy though
TheDreamers
Bit the bullet.
Brought in Salah and Firmino for a hit. Only 0.1 itb spare so had no choice with expected rises/falls. Hopefully not chasing last weeks points
SAFs_hairdryer
Hopefully you’re not as I’m keeping them both
SAFs_hairdryer
Keep Son or trade for Mahrez / Sane with better fixtures?
TheDreamers
Keep
Matt
+1
SAFs_hairdryer
That’s cut and dry
Brookyboy
Probably keep for one more Gw.I have Ali and im pretty sure im going to do the Mahrez move myself.
Matt
Who’d have thought that playing Sterling over Ayew would turn out so bad?!!! C’mon captain Pogba!!!
Mitro
Roll on GW24!
Smash10
My best game week in ground made up. Just hoping Lingard does nothing
Brookyboy
And that United concede…!! Though i cant see it.
Mitro
You had a massive leap in rank, well done mate, hopefully it will continue!
Really struggling this season, usually well into the top 50k by this point in the season! Hopefully I will start to have a bit of luck over the coming weeks!
Smash10
No injuries in 2 weeks has helped. Yeah I used to be better at this game as you can see from my history
HL [Dr. Hannibal Lecter]
I’m cca 20pts above the avg score and still went “only” 10k places up.
HL [Dr. Hannibal Lecter]
Sold Sane to get Lingard in.
He better score/assist tomorrow 😉 !
inittowinit
Smash, could you ever imagine making that statement at the beginning of the season?! Or even 4 weeks ago for that matter
He’s now owned by a fifth of players. And bearing in mind half of the players don’t play and 90% of the rest are irrelevant then that’s quite big!
inittowinit
Oh, forgot to say, how’s the kidney?! Sorry.
Smash10
Nope never. Really did not see it coming. I actually thought he would be at West Brom or Stoke by now. I’m pretty fearful as well. Yeah loads of my rivals suddenly have him and yeah that’s massive
Brookyboy
Thought you meant the comment about watching songs of Praise…! 😆
Smash10
Ah awaiting a scan probably tomorrow to see the damage
inittowinit
Ok mate, best of luck with that then.
Mitro
What we moves we all planning for GW24?
I’ve done hazard and morata to Mahrez and kun, will also be bringing in either Arnie or son before the deadline!
TheDreamers
hey Mitro. Have brought in the Liverpool boys (Salah/Firmino) for Morata and Alli. You on a -4 already?
Mitro
Yes mate, decent moves by the way
Rosco77
I’m actually thinking of bringing in Ederson!! I need a new keeper; £5.6m to spend who do we think is the best keeper for that price based on form and fixtures!?
Mitro
Go with Ederson Rosco 😉
Smash10
Probably Ederson but Chelsea seem to play a boring 3-5-2 defensive formation so possibly Courtois
Brookyboy
Rosco im looking for a keeper myself ! Ive had the Palace boys then Elliott and then bloody Gomes who have had about 2 clean sheets between them all season !!
Brookyboy
I was thinking Pickford but not sure now.May go either De Gea or Courtois.
Smash10
Yeah I’m looking at Pickford. Think Palace might be signing a bloody keeper. Thought I had that covered with Hennessy and Speroni. Had a keeper nightmare all season just trying to save cash
Kop Warrior
Don’t mention that git Gomes! I’ve made a lot of mistakes this season but he’s been one of the biggest. Need to get rid of him but don’t have much cash!
Brookyboy
Hes been one mistake of many for me this season Kop ! Who you looking at ??
Kop Warrior
Maybe Pickford. Will only have 5.1 to spend.
HL [Dr. Hannibal Lecter]
Those r some nice moves!
Spurs have a tough(er) schedule…
I’d go with Arni over Son.
Mitro
Yeah I’m leaning more towards Arnie, going to shift cork and go 3-5-2 for a couple of weeks!
Smash10
Decent moves I think not sure if I want Aguero or not
Mitro
He didn’t look up for it today which is a worry!
Mitro
But he scored 5 against Newcastle and that’s all I need to stick my armband on him!
Smash10
Yeah exactly 5 goals is a lot of points. Going to try and wait and see if some transfers happen this week eg Sanchez
Brookyboy
Alli Christensen and Gomes out for Mahrez Jones and maybe De gea/Courtois/other for -4 i think barring any injuries before Friday.
