Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 3
A lunch time kick-off gets us going this week when Wolves or as City likes to call promoted teams, dinner, face off. That is followed by four 3pm games. Arsenal and West Ham tangle in a battle to save face, that is accompanied by the two worst teams in the Premier League matching up when Huddersfield welcomes Cardiff, about the only team the Terriers will feel like they can take any points off. In the other two similar time fixtures, the Vardy-less Foxes take on Southampton and The Cherries play host to Richarlison’s Toffees. Our Saturday finishes with Liverpool putting a half a dozen past Brighton in the late game.
Sunday brings us another three games. Watford look for their third win this new season when Palace drop in, the other two fixtures see Fulham versus Burnley and the heavy spending Toon go against Sarri with his high pressing, no defending side.
Our game-week is brought to an end when styles clash at Old Trafford as United see Spurs come in for a visit. Should be fun watching Jose rally his loyal troops to get all XI behind the ball, while Poch implores his side to not let them out of the back.

Bit off topic but wanted to share this heartbreaking story of Len Johnson ex pro footballer.

*Sorry
Len Johnrose
He’s lived through more shit (and good) in ~48 years than many do within ‘full’ lifetimes. What a strong mentality.
Heartbreaking. It’s no bad thing to read stuff like that now and again to help keep things in perspective. Going to get home from work tonight, put my phone in the drawer and play with the kids.
Well said chins
+1 to that
Well the first hit of the season has paid off! Davies to Alonso… Davies benched and Alonso with 2 assists
I didn’t take the hit in the end, so still have Davies… Have Boly with 8pts coming off the bench if Davies stays on the bench… Alonso got 11pts, -4 so that’s 7pts… Would be one point better off
Please Pochettino DO NOT SUB DAVIES IN 😆
I’m keeping everything crossed for you Zed. It’s absurd how tense the closing minutes of a game can be when you’ve someone juicy on the bench.
Yeah, until all the 3 subs have been made, it’s a bit of a hell…
Bad luck, ZL, but this sort of thing will even itself out over the season. A bummer, all the same.
Shaw keeps his place
Glad that he plays tonight but can’t say I want him to do well!
Man Utd v Spurs
Jones and Smalling back probably to stay
Jones is quite a good price at the moment, considering his BPS form.
As I have no players at all in action I can sit back and relax a bit.
Pogba is still an outside possibility for me as a Richarlison replacement. Very outside, it must be admitted.
Jones is down to 5.3m if he starts next week him for Coleman could happen
Man U have very nice fixtures after tonight. Jones could be all right though his price will go up quickly, I would imagine, if MU keep a CS today. Spurs have a pretty dismal record up there, so it could happen.
I may have a ‘Alonso or Jones?’ issue to ponder over the break. Jones is really handy for bonus points.
I took a hit for Alonso. So I’ll have to wait. Even if he goes to 5.4 I’d take it.
Which of these is best?
Bench Richarlison and play Wan-Bissaka for 3 games (SOU, hud, NEW) and do:
1) Mahrez & Firmino to Hazard & Mitrovic (-4)
2) Mahrez & Firmino to Fraser & Kane (-4)
3) Mahrez to Bilva/Dilva
4) Any other Mahrez exit plan?
Or ditch Richarlison for Pedro/Wally? And hope/pray Mahrez (and Firmino) come good.
Got 1 FT and nothing ITB.
I would either do 1) or just Richarlison to Walcott.
Probably leaning towards the latter one as I feel Mahrrz could start this week and that’s a very good fixture
I agree, just do the R to Walcott option. Good form, good fixtures.
Firmino hasn’t been that terrible so far. Kept things ticking along.
Having said that, I would be very fretful if I were a Mahrez owner and can fully understand your worry there. Maybe Pep’ll blurt something out at the press conference.
Thanks guys. Looking at Wan-Bissaka’s fixtures, I’m really tempted to just bench Richarlison. Especially as I’ll want him back in a few weeks, so it seems a slight waste of 2 transfers.
The problem with benching him is that it leaves my bench very weak. And with Mahrez in my 11 that’s very dangerous.
Unfortunately there’s no obvious quick swap for Mahrez. Bilva/Dilva is the most obvious I guess, but even they’re risky. Hence why I’m looking at losing Firmino as well, which then gives loads of options!
Can’t believe I’m getting sucked into back to back point hits already though! Arrggghhhh.
I can’t blame you for that Banjo as I think benching Richarlison and playing Wan Bissaka is my plan too at the moment.
That bring said I did this to make way for Alonso instead but you already have him. So in your situation I would try to avoid taking hits.
If I get Walcott – or rather when I get Walcott – I’ll be giving him a run of games, not swapping him with badboy Rick as soon as the latter returns.
But go for it; W-B (who I’ll have starting this week as well) could be a nice option, a sort of poor man’s Alonso.
If you’re pretty aure you want Rich back then I would juat bench him with that team.
Walcott will be staying for me though.
usually i’m against hits but this time i wouldn’t resist on the 2nd option if i were you, banjo
Richarlison only misses 2 league games banjo the Efl cup game this week counts towards his ban.
I’m reading lots of contradicting information on how many it is! Either way I’m leaning towards just benching him.
Would you support a hit to lose Mahrez & Firmino? If so is Hazard & Mitro the best option? Cue a Kane batty to make it difficult 😉
‘This season, any cautions players receive will be specific to the competition they were playing in at the time. So, a yellow card in an FA Cup game, for instance, wouldn’t count towards a suspension in the Premier League.
However, red cards will apply across all competitions – although standard bans can now be decreased or increased in exceptional cases.’
He misses 2 PL games, the FPL site has it correct, nothing unclear about it!
That’s made my mind up then I think.
Now to decide on the Mahrez problem!
Well Hazard does love to play against Bournemouth and he could be a great differential with 3 very juicy fixtures.Could work out really well.Or he could totally troll you !!
I still fancy the Mitro/Haz move Banjo
Cheers Zed. That’s the one I’m leaning towards.
How defensive is this United formation. They are at home
It’s a joke!!
