Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 38
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Gameweek 38. That’s your lot folks! Well, it will be in about 3 hours anyway… GW38 always seems so brutal. We are used to game-weeks spanning 3-4 days, sometimes even 6 or 7. And then when it really comes down to the final reckoning we are all lined up in front of the FPL firing squad and shot at for 90 short minutes as if we’d just been caught in Malaysia with a gram or two in our back pockets. And it’s a bit of an odd one to call as nearly all matters are sorted, barring a couple of highly unlikely goal difference swings. And we are talking huge ones here – a Liverpool draw and a Chelsea 16-0 win. And a Saints loss, a Swansea win and a 10 goal swing. The Saints do however face Man City so you just never know! But being realistic it’s all done and dusted. The main talking points will probably centre around rotation and regardless of what nonsense the managers trotted out in their press conferences about ‘playing until the end with professionalism’ there will be rotation aplenty. There’s usually a fair few goals on the last day too. Here’s hoping your amongst them.
Many thanks to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on Live Match Chat each week, it’s the fun end of the FPL week, indeed it’s the action end of it. We appreciate every single comment :worthy:

Exciting …
Closing the season with 84 pts and projected rank of 3489! Really pleased with my 2nd competitive season and BIG thank you to all writers and contributors that kept this site interesting with articles and top quality advise. Definitely the best FPL site in the whole wide web!!!
Great ranking coys!
Thanks mate!
First class coys. :clap:
Congrats GP! Fantastic season for you!
Hi everyone,
I rarely write on the forum, but I must this time: to say a big thank you!
Your articles are always very helpful. I tried to determine which are most helpful to me. I’d say the fixture tracker, and the “tips”. But when I think about it, I like very much the fixture analysis and captaintcy articles! So do not change anything!
And of course, on top of these articles being useful, they are very pleasant to read – even for a Frenchman who doesn’t get all the jokes!
I extend the thanks to the regular of the forum. Even if I do not write there often, I read it regularly and it often gives me ideas, or even answer questions I do not even have to ask!
Again, THANK YOU!
And a couple of details about my season.
I am very happy to finish somewhere around 15k, and top of my ML by something like 50 points.
I am all the more happy because I have been stucked between ranks 100k and 200k for a long time (GW 19 to 32) – and I was starting to believe I would never crack the 100k limit!
The site probably gave my the motivation needed to keep calm, and keep planning my transfer strategy quietly. And it finally paid off!
See you in 2018/2019!
Great stuff Vinci – now I feel guilty about all the times I have joked about the French!!!
Brilliant comeback this season, well played mon ami!
Cheers Cookie.
So I guess it means that you’ll never ever gonna joke about the French in the future? 😉
Vinci, I can’t promise, but I’ll try my best
That figures, Vinci, I’ve only ever written fixtures and captaincy articles! Don’t let my drivel taint your views on the quality content others produce for the first two articles of the week
I’d like to think that the first two each week guide the tips writer too, but then maybe I’m just trying to claim that I have a hand in the best articles
I did not want to start a war between the different authors!
Great stuff all together!
(But your articles are even a little better AT 😉 )
Hahahah, remind me to give you that tenner I promised you 😆
Anyone noticed the Ederson quirk? He’s been booked and so is on -1 but didn’t play a second. So what happens now?!
Init Yes that would be me , DDG didn’t start Ederson -1 you couldn’t write it.
FPL have tweeted that the backup keeper will replace him.
Matt’s correct.
FPL
Cool, thanks. Only wondered as I noticed it on my nearest rivals page as he started him and has Hennessey on the bench. Fortunately it doesn’t matter, just!
I’ve never come across it before and it’s not in the rules.
I checked the rules too.
I think FPL were very quickly thinking on their feet there.
I wonder if they have to do a transfer override to the system because of it?
I noticed.
Is he considered to have played because he ‘scored’??
So therefore you don’t get Dubravka or Hennessey off your bench?
And for the final time this season…. Averages are in.
Thanks for sharing these stats each week Init!
I think you’re the first person to ever comment on them
The ones at the beginning of the week tend to be of more interest with the caps etc but I always find these interesting too so I stick them up!
Eheh never commented but have always-ish read them! Thanks init for posting them (and the ones at the biginning – perhaps edit the live match article once those are in and put them there?)
Lost my league on bonus points. Tough when Son’s cameo meant Lejeune didn’t come off the bench (and would have won me the league)! Choosing Sane over Zaha and Ramsey also didn’t help, but it is what it is
That’s unlucky mate
Meh, you can look back on the season and probably pick those sort of moments every GW. Just annoying that I even bothered to shift Silva in hindsight as Lejeune would have come on
I thought Jesus’s goal celebration had cost me the league, so at least I was a couple of points adrift in the end!
Unlucky there, AT. Amazing how one small thing can leave such a big difference, but the consolation is that you would never have prioritised Newcastle players over Spurs players with the fixtures.
Surely his consolation is that he won the best writer prize from Vinci?
If only he had listened to rosco’s Lejeune tip beginning of the season!
He did! Eventually. And then benched him. I did too but that seems many moons ago now. From what I can remember he was guaranteeing goals based upon 1 YouTube clip?! Pretty sure it cost me top 500 as well I’m pretty sure the idiot in that story isn’t Rosco
