Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 5
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 5. We can but hope that this article doesn’t come as a surprise to you on a Friday evening and that you aren’t currently sat there thinking “either they’ve made a big mistake, or I’ve made an even bigger one!”. Well, we haven’t, and we are really sorry if you did!
The game-week begins with yet another uninspiring televised clash, as Bournemouth host Brighton on Friday night. Not one that many people will be hurriedly cancelling Friday night plans for then. If you do feel so compelled though you can always rearrange those plans for about 12:30pm on Saturday to coincide with the next woeful TV offering – Crystal palace vs Southampton. Seriously, we pay good money for this stuff. Add those to last week’s run of Burnley vs Palace / Swansea vs Newcastle / West Ham vs Huddersfield, and with the greatest of respect to the teams involved there can anyone ever recall a worse run of 5 televised games?! :rant:
Deep breaths.
Onto Saturday’s 3pm fare then, and we have five games, many of which will hold a fantasy football interest –
Huddersfield will hope to improve on their poor showing on Monday night as they host Leicester.
Liverpool, sans Mane, have a potentially plum home game with a Burnley team who traditionally don’t travel that well.
Newcastle and Stoke may hold more interest in the handshake shenanigans than any on the field activities.
Watford, having had a strong start, will look to test a potentially vulnerable Man City back line in what may be a very entertaining fixture, perhaps not so much if you own defenders from either side.
West Brom and West Ham may have the antidote to the above though, just in case you get over excited.
Saturday evening returns us to the television and at least this time there is some semi entertainment as Spurs will be looking for a first PL win at Wembley against an ailing Swansea
Sunday does finally bring some strong games back to the big screen. Arsenal host Chelsea in the early one and then Man United play Everton in the late one to bring our game-week to a close.
THE GAMES IN FULL –

God aweful week in FPL but somehow Newcastle are 4th in the league… bonkers!
*Awful
And Ritchie did the business for me with a couple of assists and on for 3bp’s too !! Nice one Rosco !!
Hey Rosco.
Our doubles did brutal too
Just to rub it in
Least you support Newcastle and not Liverpool
Evening everyone, thought today would be a bad one when I saw Stephens and then Mounie not playing and having to play Carroll and Naughton but that’s paid off.
You’re actually doing pretty well compared to most on here mate! Bad weeks happen though, no great shakes! A good week for the dead teams, there’ll be many who started with Kun and left their team after GW1 I’d imagine!
Yeah just having a look through the scores now and it was a bad week I just got lucky.
Your lot are smashing it! 3rd successive win, fair play! Will Lascalles keep up his scoring or is this just a purple patch?
I know I’ve not long been back from the match, enjoyed it a lot! I think Lacelles will score a fair few from corners with Ritchie’s delivery but probably just a purple patch!
Ah I’d say the place was jumping. Definitely a deserved win. Yeah that’s what I was thinking with him just trying to narrow down options for Stephens.
After proposing Lejuene to Init I’m reluctant to recommend Newcastle players!
We’re having a good run at present but I’m under no illusions that we’ll probably come a cropper against the big boys!
I’m enjoying it for the moment though!
Yeah I think he’s ready to kill you right about now! 😉 haha
Yeah I don’t think you’ll do that we’ll against City or that but a few games ago I thought you might get relegated but my mind is starting to change.
Hi all,
Simple enough question for you all. Time to WC?
Pros: Get rid of Stephens, Ince, Long, Get some City players in
Cons: If I take out Stephens for someone else, then ok I have to play Ince (or take a hit). Its not terrible.
What do you think?
Hey Dreamers, a WC does look very appealing there mate but those fixtures don’t look too bad so you could ride it out for one more week and just sell Stephens it’s what I plan to do anyway.
No need for a wild card. A hit or even 2 is better than a wild card. Can’t see the major changes you would make
cheers for the input lads
Woeful WC…
Spurs underperforming (or getting rested)
No City cover and they score 6
My Spurs can’t even score vs Swansea and look who I have on my bench for 11 points with 3bps?!??
…
I feel a rage -12 coming on…
don’t panic Pancho. get some City cover in and you’ll be fine
That’s really unlucky Pancho! Just leave the computer alone for the night and look again tomorrow. You’ll regret that -12 if Davies plays next week and scores double digits.
Pancho
Just done 1 transfer suspect it will be a -8 by next Friday
Hey Pancho.
Bad luck on the keeper but it was the right call. Davies should play next week you would think.
Looks like another shocker is on the cards….
Your score isn’t too bad mate!
I’m on 20 -4!! Dropped to 1.9 million too! Ha ha Bad weeks happen Mitro, don’t let it bring you down! Who have you brought in!? That’s swift even for you!
Rosco
I have been going against my gut on every move so far this season!!
Did Lukaku to Kun….will do a -4 probably Alonso to kola to free up some cash to get rid of chichartio
Make that 16 -4 haha
u dont seem to have had such a bad one Mitro.
What trf u do above?
Kun
Why so early ???
In a bad mood again! These bad GWs are killing me
For most people so no sweat !
Gross or Ritchie?
That’s a tough one but going on fixtures I’d say Ritchie but that’s by a fraction.
Cheers guys.
Ritchie it is. Had enough of ince
I thought Newcastle had more goals in them and slightly better fixtures so I went Ritchie.Plus he is on set pieces and pens.
Both have a few tough enough games coming up. I’d prob say Gross in a 55:45 split
Just Gross as he’s playing further forward. I found Ritchie a bit deep but he seems to be getting points
