Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 26
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 26. No double games to contend with this week, just a straight forward set of 10. The last lot before we get rudely interrupted by the FA Cup again, but pay attention this time as what occurs in that may well impact hugely on what occurs in FPL later on with blank and double game-week ramifications all over the shop.
Saturday begins with two teams enjoying contrasting fortunes since they recently changed their managers as Fulham host Man United.
Saturday afternoon’s highlight, from a purely footballing perspective, will be watching Liverpool try not to choke completely against Bournemouth. Fail this test and we may as well just hand the title to City at 5pm. Elsewhere Palace and West Ham contest a derby, Huddersfield will continue their descent to the Championship against Arsenal, Saints and Cardiff have an almost literal six pointer and Watford will go all out to hang ex-boss Silva out to dry.
The final game of the day is Brighton vs Burnley, we guess there is some mild relegation interest at stake but beyond that we are struggling to either see the attraction or indeed why this is on TV. Even Brighton and Burnley fans will be hard pressed to avert their gaze if they have spent the afternoon painting walls…
Sunday should hold more interest though, Spurs Lite and Leicester kick us off nicely at 1.30pm before the main attraction at 4pm as Sarri takes his Chelsea balls to Man City for a lesson in motivation.
We continue into Monday this week as Wolves look to continue where they left off against Everton as Newcastle come to town, perhaps with a shiny new signing on show in the shape of Almiron.
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 26 from all at FF247!

Sigh was going for a decent week till the kolo calamity …. argh!!!!
That must have been like a very bad trip.
Oh well. Nice game next time. And the time after that. Things move on.
Lol!! True!
Where did everyone go!?
Probably to bed I’d imagine.
One is so droll!
48 with Jimminez, Jota and Aguero to play. Was hovering around 63 points and then Cardiff and Arsenal lost their CS. Blunder. Really wish Jota and Aguero to come up with big scores. They are my differentials in my ML.
Yeah I am banking on Aguero as well!!
Good morning all!
Something to consider:
‘Fantasy sport is for people whose lives are missing key elements – the sign of a bored mind. Fantasy players should engage in practising REAL sport to help get their minds, bodies and lives back in shape’. Such were the thoughts ringing through my head, yesterday, when I decided to go for a bike ride which I knew would stop me from changing my team before the 11.30 shutdown. What a load of over-rated bollocks, ‘real’ sport is! As I arrive home, too late to transfer, and even before taking off sweaty helmet and stuff, I take advantage of the warmth of my wifi cover to find that Rashford is not playing in the first game AND Auba is still ‘sick’! Don’t these players realise the consequences of their selfish actions???? Can’t they sympathise with their fans, who would love to have the same ‘ripped’ look when they lift up their shirts after scoring a goal, but can’t afford the time to do it, because they’re working out next week’s transfers????
Well, anyway, upon checking results later, I find that I’m on a respectable 52 during the afternoon games, with still 40 minutes to play. Obviously, I think to myself that in fact that I was wrong and the benefits of physical activity are real, and I abscond for 45 minutes, to chop wood (ah this will please the FPL Gods, as well as others if they actually exist!) thinking of the possible 60 + score at the end of the day, only to discover to my dismay, that the score has actually been reduced to 47!!!! I mean, what do I pay good money for, from my limited salary cap??? Have they no idea??? To add insult to injury, I find my great LFC hope; Mohamed Salah, is actually owned by over 50% of players! Has HE no sense of loyalty??? I coach a team with a really talented line-up of players, but I DO expect utmost dedication during a GW –otherwise heads will roll! And I won’t hesitate to take a hit to do it!
We FPL players are part of their fan-base, but what do we get in return? I ask you!
People who say we’re a bunch of crackpots should analyse player behaviour for a change!
Let me tell you that the next time some quack psychologist goes on about Fantasy sport players getting out into the ‘real’ world to indulge in some healthy activity, I intend to cite my experience as proof to the contrary!
‘Play fantasy football’ they said – it will provide you with hours of fun and relaxation. Bollocks!
End of rant! Have a great day everybody!
Kind regards, AJW
(Moderately inspired from the ‘Letterbocks’ section of Viz magazine!)
Thanks AJW. Key thing is that you cottoned on very quickly: don’t take this game too seriously.
Those closest to me see my interest in fantasy football as a thinly disguised cry for help.
Best of luck with whoever you have today.
Also with the grav – I realised you must have been thinking Rear Window.
I’ve been watching a lot of Bergman films recently. I amused myself the other day thinking about how characters in those films would discuss their captaincy choices.
LOL, v funny AJW.
For me, FF is actually an escape from a too busy life, dare I say, “a little bit of fun”.
I wish I could spend more time here.

Thanks very much both of you – in reality, I tend not to treat things too seriously, but I was surprised by a sense of disappointment yesterday & decided to go over the top and create an absurd ‘mega-version’ of myself – basically take the p…out of myself and try to make you all laugh too!
Hope it worked!
Yes, I do wonder why I play too, but have come down to the conclusion that I have an addictive personality.
“……….basically take the p…out of myself and try to make you all laugh too!”
Great attitude to have in life.
Well played AJW :clap:
Thanks GP! I’ll have a dram in your honour this arvo! It’s bloody raining here! See ya round! Cover them wagons pilgrim!
The less said about your sweaty helmet the better.
Who is that quote from AJW?
As regards my helmet? Oh you mean the fictitious, self-invented, plausible sounding, seemingly knowledgeable, pseudo scientific claptrap? That was me! Needed an intro into my early morning absurdist contribution, so I imagined what a ‘qualified’ health professional might say, if paid by a dubious daily newspaper to find evidence against fantasy sport!
Nothing like false testimonies to get the mood going!
Morning everyone :coffee:
Morning Doc. Good to see you have your early(ish) morning cup of Chagga on the go.
I love the smell of Chagga in the morning.
Best of luck for today, and tomorrow.
Morning Kralin.
Yeah,me too. It’s more about the ritual itself than anything else I think…
I’m an early bird, love waking up early.
I would need all the luck there is for today, tbh – after accidentally leaving the Capo armband on Aguero :noshake: :whatever: …
Serves me right for deciding to navigate 2 different teams this season.
This is my 1st mistake but it has costed me dearly.
Although, in a week where Mo was Cpt-ed from a staggering 88.9% of the top 10k teams (think this is a record), needless to say I was also very lucky he didn’t punish me with a hatty !!
Hopefully a goal/assist (or two) from Kun can make things right again.
