Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 25
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 25
From one DGW to another, in quick succession, we may have to get used to this.
Leeds book-end this one by kicking off our GW on Friday night away at Wolves @ 8pm.
Southampton are the other team with a double and they begin theirs on Saturday @ 12:30 at home to Chelsea. Jeff then has the excitement of Burnley vs West Brom to report on @3pm before we get to a derby 6-pointer as Everton visit Anfield @ 5.30pm. Fulham and Sheffield United see us out on Saturday @ 8pm, if anybody can be arsed. They won’t be.
The West Ham Cup Final kicks us off on Sunday as Spurs visit the dildo laden lot @ 12pm, Villa welcome Leicester @ 2pm, City will destroy Arsenal @ 4.30pm and Newcastle go to Old Trafford @ 8pm.
Our ‘normal’ GW ends on Monday as Brighton host Palace @ 8pm.
Our extended GW ends on Wednesday as the doublers of Leeds and Saints meet @ 6pm.

When did the DGW fixtures come out? Thought they were due tomorrow. Sneaky little buggers
Aarron13
They come out literally 1/2 minutes after deadline, very sneaky I thought, it’s made it slightly more difficult now
Otieno
Best defender for 26 and also 29? 1FT 0.7itb
I’m planning on bringing in Grealish, Auba/Saka and White after 26 to give me a fu 29 team.
Otieno
.
Smash
I’d prob say Konsa as you get the extra games out of him
Otieno
Konsa (or Targett) is a decent shout. Downside is it blocks me getting Grealish later.
TheDreamers
Villa have been poor defensively of late but not reflected in their scores.
Aina looks a good shout from a potential cs perspective. I’m not sure where he has been playing of late. He may have been playing in the Robinson position
Chipster
Re: your defender question, I’m looking at either Aina or Dunk. No DGW26 for Dunk, but good fixtures through to 29 and good current form. Aina has DGW26 and also good recent stacking form.
Otieno
Cheers chip. Aina could be a nice little differential if it pays off and that gives me the 11 DGW and 8 GW29 players that I’m looking for
Kralin
I think Brighton is your best bet. They have defenders to suit all budgets. I went for one (White) for GW29 reasons, knowing that 26 would likely be a SGW for the player. Their GW26 is fine on paper. Their defensive form recently has been good. They can be WC out after if you still have your WC – which, unless you had a last minute change of heart, I think you do.
Otieno
Cheers Kralin. I may we’ll bring in a BHA player for 29 but atm I need the 11th DGW player otherwise I can hold Coufal. And yes, still on plan for WC30.
Kralin
Sure.
Good luck with the quest.
TheDreamers
There still seems something wrong in considering Fulham or especially Brighton players. When is Lamptey back and does he upset that defensive solidity?
Smash
Lamptey is back soon I believe. I don’t think he really affects them defensively too much. He’s prob their best player and plays RWB
FplDoc789
The blokes in the Premier League in charge of announcing the DGW features are possibly the biggest trolls of 2021 yet :big-lol:
Kralin
Imagine if they’d done it 15 minutes before the deadline. Heads would have been exploding under the pressure.
FplDoc789
There were still people prepared for that I beleive. But yes the pandemonium would’ve been a treat to watch :popcorn:
Gear
The website would just have gone down
Cookie
Morning all.
I really don’t like these Friday kick-offs. They ruin the Friday evening chat, excitement and expectation and the Saturday mornings on here, discussing last minute moves, agonising over captaincy choices etc.
Kralin
I agree. I like setting my team up on a Friday evening, making the final tweaks. And given event yesterday with the fixtures, it would have been handy to have pondered those a bit longer.
For all that, Ben Crellin deserves a lot of credit. His efforts were heroic.
Smash
Yeah and panicked last min transfers
Kralin
Should have added that Otieno here is also very helpful with possible fixtures if one doesn’t want full immersion into the BC spreadsheet.
Ot talks a lot of sense.
inittowinit
He certainly does. I’d be interested to see if he’d like to write the odd article, especially the Fixtures one. Otieno, that is.
TheDreamers
I’d agree also cookie. I even don’t really like all the football being on at different times. U in theory get to see more but it takes something away from it also
Kop Warrior
I hate having the football spread out. I’d love to go back to the days when all the games kicked off at 3pm on Saturday afternoon. From an FPL perspective, it’s also much more exciting when a lot of games are being played at the same time.
inittowinit
Couldn’t agree more, even just 4, or 5 on a Sat @ 3pm. I used to really look forward to and enjoy that. Having 1 is pathetic. I miss Soccer Saturday!
Kop Warrior
Agreed on Soccer Saturday. I didn’t watch it for the analysis but it was great to have on in the background just listening to the lads chatting about football.
inittowinit
I feel for Jeff! One game a week with shit pundits! It’s like they are deliberately picking the worst game each week too.
Smash
I don’t mind that so much as like watching all the games. I get it from an FPL POV
Loud Atlas
At least it was a good game last night (and it was on the BT Sport so I could watch it
!), but yes, Friday nights should be all about tweaking, fretting and checking out for the site for tips!
IvanTheTerrible
The weekly highest points team went for Patricio (TC)
Of course that’s what you do when you live in Antarctica :laugh2:
Loud Atlas
Wowzer – that’s bonkers :mosking: !
Smash
Well I think I’m well on course to wildcard
TheDreamers
What’s your thinking with that Smash?
Smash
Moved Digne and Ings out for Shaw and Kane. Very early moves which prob push me into wildcard. Means I can ditch Leeds. Not really sure it’s got to be used at some point and I have my free hit and TC still. TC will likely be the other Spurs double I’d expect.
TheDreamers
Wont you want Leeds for 29 though Smash?
Smash
Free hit
TheDreamers
Not for 33
I’ll leave you alone at that – dont want to be pestering you
Aarron13
You thinking of triple Captain Kane next game week?, I’m planning to get him
Stone Frog
Yes probably worth it to get 11 doublers.
Smash
Yeah though I do have ten now with the -4 currently
Kralin
If one of your players gets injured that may finally tip you over.
You have the luxury of actually knowing the fixtures (even though we did know them last week) but one or two were tripped up by Southampton (not that that’s an issue because their second double will happen).
Anyway good luck and given the help you provide I’m sure plenty of people will chip in with thoughts as you develop your ideas.
Smash
Yep that’s it. One injury and it has to be pressed. I think I’m fine with that. I anticipated it being played. I have the free hit anyway and there is another double for TC with Spurs
