Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 28
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 28
Look, it’s a regular gameweek with no blanks or no doubles and to be honest some of us are so thankful for that.
This super normal GW kicks off on Friday when Toon play host to Emi “Lord of the Clean Sheet” Martinez, for non-owners he is known as “that bastard that kills me every week, but I am too stubborn to buy”.
Saturday gives us four more fixtures. Leeds tries to slow down a surging Chelsea side in the early game. Palace then takes on West Brom which is followed by Everton welcoming in Burnley and the day is capped off with Fulham taking on Pep’s XI, whatever that might be that day.
Sunday also gives us four encounters. Saints tangle with Brighton, Leicester dismantle Sheffield, Arsenal and Spurs square off in the North London Derby and 2nd place Manchester United face off vs the 5th place Hammers in the late one.
Monday sees a close to the gameweek when Wolves takes on the 3 points out of their last 21 Liverpool. Geez!
The games in full…

19 points down to 7 in the last minute
I hear you. I was on 21 and then bam! Hit by the train.
Yeah, Martinez, Konsa and Watkins here…
Martinez and Targett for me
Nartinez and Watkins forme with Targett second on my bench. Even though I have Martinez a part of me was happy when Newcastle scored. U had Shaw on my bench last week.
Only just put Targett in before deadline ahead of Gameweek 29
Sorry for the typos guys
I think I am either cursed or just a poor manager. Shaw and Konsa on the bench last week. The 3 times I left Justin on the bench that cost me over 30 points. And so on, and so on. Double up on Villa def now and lost the CS in the 94th minute.
Just bad luck.
Someone somewhere this week will have put the TC on their third bench player, who’ll score 25 points.
‘Why did I TC someone third on the bench?’ they’ll say, scratching their head.
That is why especially this season I think it’s better just to set & forget. Not tinker much the starting 11. Never sure who will score how many against.
A little disappointed that that my 0-0 score prediction didn’t quite make it.
I guess Watkins is the silver lining
Wouldn’t have put money on anything but that, even up until the 85th minute.Looked a nailed on 0-0. Both were poor. It was like like watching a Championship game at times.
Just goes to show what a couple of players or so can do to liven a team up (Grealish, Wilson, ASM etc).
1 win in 5 since Grealish injury
Think he might be back next game he’s there only attacking threat
Wouldn’t surprise me if Grealish is out of that game also then back after international break
Sounded close if he did not get sick this week plus I think it’s about a month now which was the initial prognosis. Plus if he can walk they would likely roll him out
The initial twitter rumours suggested he was out for 4-6 weeks. Until there’s pictures of him training, assume he’s out. Dean Smith is a fraud.
It had 0-0 written all over it and then that OG came out of nothing. Well Watkins not being able to hit a barn door which woke Newcastle up
Classed as OG now for Villas, Watkins assist by the look of it.
Yeah was always going to be an OG that one. Was another lucky assist for Watkins which is frustrating as a non owner. Harsh on Targett owners though
4 pointers for a defender with no CS or assist/goal is decent though Smash. Not the 12 he was on for, I admit
I’m more cursing the lucky Watkins points again as he’s owned by pretty much everyone in my mini league
So whats the view on who will go down? At the moment, you would say Brighton with SHU and WB doomed
I would say Sheffield United and WBA are down unless there is some sort of miracle there. I would say Newcastle will join them I struggle to see where their points are going to come from and for me they have the worst team. Fulham have momentum now and are building on their strong defence. Brighton I feel because of their possession could pick up points at any time. If they could finish their chances of their keeper saved some shots they would be way clear
Probably a 3 way fight between Fulham Brighton and Newcastle to stay up. Fulham have some good momentum, so may well escape.
What you say? Take a (-4) for Bale + Auba to field 10 for 29?
Martinez
Dallas White
Raphinha Son
Watkins Bamford Kane
No
Subs against a tough West Ham defence and his next match is Liverpool compared to Bale’s next match being NewCastle
Subs = Auba
Sorry I made such a mess of this I read it completely wrong.
Got to fancy Auba to get a goal at home to that Liverpool defence though. It’s difficult to judge as got to remember Bale’s mins are being managed so gets taken off after 70 or comes from the bench
For whom? And are you gonna WC soon?
This. I feel we need more info
Salah + Fernandes.
I will WC soon, yes.
Yeah if wildcarding after yeah might as well go for it. Only downside is losing probably 0.5 on Bruno. As you can just correct it all on wildcard
Thanks Smash. I will lose some value. But its points over $ right?
Yeah exactly it’s a pain but not the end of the world so I feel you might as well go for it
2FT and 4.0ITB! No chips and no WC. Could do
1) Stones/DCL to Cresswell/Antonio
2) Stones/DCL/Gundogan to Dawson/Antonio/PEA
3) Something else?
It’s difficult as I would not want to be stuck with a lot of those players after: like I’d be wanting to ditch. Spurs player after Newcastle for example. I’d probably say just get rid of Stones and save the other personally as you have the core of players for this week. For example I’m free hitting and I’ll have probably 7 of the players you have
1) is fine for me. I know Auba will be quite popular, especially for those FHing, but I think he is heavily overpriced and you can find better value elsewhere in the future (KDB i.e.). Also, Auba is a rotation risk, as I reckon Arsenal will go all in for EL.
I don’t think Arteta can afford to neglect the league completely, he would find himself out of a job.
Leaning towards 1 at the moment. Maybe banking in 30 then using the cash in GW31 to take out some Leeds players. I think there may be a double in GW32, will see. Will keep the Spurs players in case. I could always bench Bale or Son some weeks.
