Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 8
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 8. It’s an early start this GW with a Friday kick-off and as ever with these things we hope you don’t join us for Live Match Chat with that sinking feeling of ‘why on earth have they posted Live Match Chat on a Friday night…’. And if you do (looking at you Raz!), don’t say we didn’t try to remind you as it was posted on each and every article this week at some point. Whether you made it in tact or not let’s crack on with the games.
Brighton have the early pleasure of a very much in-form West Ham coming to town on Friday evening. Saturday then sees us with five 3pm games beginning with a resurgent Burnley hoping to build on momentum at home to a struggling Huddersfield. Palace host Wolves in what should be an entertaining and close encounter, as should Leicester vs Everton. Spurs host Cardiff in what should by rights be a shellacking, or at least any Kane captainers will hope to be the case. Watford vs Bournemouth looks another one that is hard to call. Saturday evening may be the straw that finally breaks Jose’s back, and oh the irony if it is indeed Rafa who gets to waft it. Some stories you just can’t write… #here’s hoping
Sunday sees three games beginning with Mitro testing out Arsenal’s defensive resolve, followed by Saints trying and (probably) failing to blunt Hazard and co. Then it’s the game of the week at 4:30pm as Pep tries to exorcise his one real demon in English football thus far: Klopp.

Yes, we nailed it .i thought it’s another draw or loss for us ,united
You were lucky, you should be turning over teams like us!
Today’s win means that Jose Mourinho now has the best win% of any @ManUtd Manager.
Jose Mourinho 60.3%
Sir Alex Ferguson 60.1%
That was his 400th win as a manager.
Still, can’t stop talking gibberish 😆 🙂
Far be it for me to challenge Gary Lineker’s punsmithery, but wouldn’t Jose Morainho have been better?
Hahaha, that is true Bry. It was a close shave for him. He likes to live dangerously but next time could be a diferent story.
Has he really been there for 26 years? Blimey. Time flies.
Source? I have completely different numbers! I’d like for you to make your own calculations… Anyway, who cares, Mourinho is an idiot! Perhaps we should, like Martin Luther King said, judge the managers not by their win% but by the content of their character!
You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me?Realises you’re talking to Ivan. Good luck.How would you describe the content of your own character, ZL?
I’ve yet to work my own out.
Maybe JM is suffering mental health issues. Maybe he’s one of us, yet unable to confess a bad GW. Maybe it’s JM’s double we’ve been seeing and in fact the real one’s at Man City, impersonating Pep (who’s locked under the stairs somewhere).
I was talking to Zorro! I have no idea about the content of my character mate! I think that’s something for others to gauge!
Oh, and by the way, if you’re talking about Jim Morrison, then great! I love that fellow! When the music’s over, turn out the lights! So it goes 😉
That’s right, good old Jim. He necked a bit of the old eau de vie de mirabelle before he popped his clogs, I’m sure.
So it goes isn’t a bad name for a fantasy side. I got a bit tired of it in that book but, er, so it goes.
Zed, we should be used of the ups and downs in football. Look at Real Madrid, four games without a single goal. That has not happened since 1985. Anyway, the ups and downs in FPL are even greater. Watch Salah gets a brace tomorrow and wait for the riots from all who sold him 😆
Mito is not happy I guess! I still have Salah by the way, so he’ll get nada most likely 😀
You know, Mito will say because Ronaldo. And he scored a great goal today against Udinese 😉
And I’d probably agree… There are a handful of players who are trying to shout “it’s not a team sport”… Well, two players to be precise…
Arnautovic is trying to be in that group as well, but so long no cigar :big-lol:
So on 26 points. With Alonso, Robertson, Mendy, Hazard, Mitrovic and Aguero to go. It’s not great but guess it could be worse.
You’ll be ahead of whatever the average turns out to be, I’m sure.
But you need to answer the question that’s on all our lips: did you wildcard?
No he didn’t!
Nope changes are not major enough for it really. Just can’t justify it really. Guess I might need it in future. Doherty has annoyed me coz I’ve known I should have got him but not had anything to do with the extra cash.
In he end, Trippier covered Mendy sufficiently for me (though maybe I speak too soon). Within a whisker of three CS. Gone from my side now, though. But yes, well played to those who got Doherty.
Doherty covered Mendy for me… Now Mendy gone, so Doherty keeps on covering for him… So far, so good…
Yeah I stuck with Mendy and I’ve lost points. Slipped a bit recently
Anybody thinking of doubling up on wolves defence with Patricio and Doherty? Not sure if that would be a wise move since they have Spurs and Arsenal in GW 11 and 12.
wolves are cool, but it would be too much Veer. 1 def is enough
Thinking that too, I guess I’ll stick with Patricio
Ask eresh.
I was vaguely thinking of doubling on the Liverpool defence, given their fixtures. But I’ve never had huge luck, doubling.
I echo your thought and thining to buy TAA – but I have Robo, Alonso, Doherty, S.Cook, Wan-B: All are kind of in good form. So the only way is to go for Alisson (but that breaks my 2*4.5 GK structure) Or, double up on Pool attack – Salah+Mane/Bobby…may be.
I’m on a wildcard so have the luxury of idle thinking. Building the side to beat all sides. The week 9 onwards invincibles. However yes, the goalie plus Robbo plus Salah (probably) is another thought. I don’t know. Doherty, Wan-B are such phenomenal value it’s hard to ignore their appeal. And I’ll want Mendy and Alonso.
So far on the goalie front I’ve had Fab only (= 1 CS so far and a few save points).
Why did yo go for it Kralin? Because of the IB or your team needed a major surgery?
My team needed a bit of surgery Ivan. Was starting to drift off course. Carrying a few injuries.
An above average 23 points with Ederson, Walker, Aguero, Alonso and captain Hazard remaining.
I reckon 6 points for the City players and hoping for a clean sheet for Alonso and a goal for Hazard might see me at above 50 points for the game week.
Yeah, on 25 here and with 6 to go (including 3 of those you mention) but captain Kane failing limits my chances this week. I need a Mendy brace to make any ground!
IF I had two free transfers then I would have transferred out Aguero for Kane but thankfully I didn’t and would not have done a -4 for Kane.
Total respect to those who brought Kane in as it was the sensible move especially against 10 men for the last 30 odd minutes.
Go on captain Hazard.
I’ll be happy to be around the average this week. If Chelsea do ok it should be fine. But what I need to happen versus what will probably happen in the other games is to much to hope for. No players involved in the early game, either. Good luck.
Holebas has to be the contender for “the worst transfer of the season”. 1 point in 4 games + suspension. That takes some skills. I’d have been much better with just playing Doherty in his place. 41 points in the same time. *Sigh
None of my transfers – apart from Trippier and maybe Alonso – have worked out particularly well for me, so far: Mkhi, Walcott, Neves, Fraser. The latter looks like he may be in for the duration though. The rest are memories.
Your comments on Holebas are getting repetitive now. We get it, you fecked up.
And your comments have become sad. We get it now. You’re fecked up
