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.

Finished the week on 70 which I am delighted with after the bad start I had, thank you for your help everybody!
Kralin
Terrific score.
jamesimmo
I sold Auba for Kane before this gameweek.
How have your weekends been?
Smash
I think There are those who have Kane and those who don’t
Kralin
What an astral week it would have been if the blighter had scored a couple. Oh well.
theswirly
It’s been cruel this gameweek!
Rosco
That’s sucks mate but it was the right move on paper, move on to GW9 !
iqbal
Finally green arrows for me James for this gameweek, thanks to Doherty and Wilson.
What are everyone’s thoughts for those who still have Salah? Keep him or transfer out?
Kralin
Will be keeping Salah. If the defences of Huddersfield, Cardiff and Fulham (plus Liverpool usually find Arsenal’s defence fairly kind) don’t whet your appetite, I don’t know what will.
After all that there will be I’m sure a loopy home game against Everton.
It’s our duty to own him.
elcfc
82 points for me this week!
Looking for shift Walcott – should I go Richarlison or Madison?
Kralin
Maddison on fixtures.
Richarlison may go bonkers once or twice, though.
Excellent score.
inittowinit
I like both but it’d have to be Richarlison if he’s now going to finally play up top.
MadHatter
Yeah he has joined my team in place of Kante
MadHatter
Mbappe with just the 4 goals tonight!
Wonder how reliable are the articles of him going to City?
KP
WC active. 0.1 in the bank. Really need some input from you guys.
MadHatter
If you’re on WC I’d get Doherty in place of Bennett as you’ll probably get some price gain outta him and personally I would keep him.
Who you downgrade for that move is a different story
KP
Its really difficult to squeeze out 0.5. Any suggestions?
MadHatter
I know you won’t like it but Mitro is the one that would make way for me in that team
Kralin
Mitro to Jimenez. Think value and that Hud/Cardiff two hander.
KP
Mitro has hud and cardiff in their next 3 fixtures. That’s the reason I’m reluctant to lose him.
Kralin
Then sacrifice Lacazette and have a play.
Kralin
Is that your wc side or the side you’re fleeing from?
KP
Its the WC side. Is it that bad?
Kralin
No, I was going to say why are earth are you wildcarding that side?
MadHatter
I had that thought too but gave him the benefit of the doubt 😉
Kralin
I’m looking at Vardy and Arnie fairly closely but can see why you’ve gone the way you’ve gone.
Midfield v close to yours but playing 4 or maybe 5 as Richarlison seems to be a striker now. I’ve got Fraser (who has survived from the original team).
The double Wolves’ defence may pay off brilliantly. They have the nice Hud and Cardiff double on the horizon. But some tricky games in there too. I had a vague notion of doubling on the Liverpool defence. Salah or no Salah is a headache for me but the fixtures are fantastic.
KP
Yes, double liverpool defense is really a good option but again difficult to manage the extra 1mil.
You guys think its worth keeping Alonso?
Kralin
Yes.
Frenchie
Once again My Rules Frenchie team completely smashed my normal team.
Hopefully the wildcard will fix that! But I’m not even sure abour it, if Laca and Auba continue to score like this, I had no plan to bring them so far!
Rosco
Haha I TC Kane in my rules team!! Think I’ll be giving up on that team right about now!!
inittowinit
You were very close to doing it on your main team too until you got some sense knocked into you?! Or was it a PM that did it?
Rosco
I knew everyone would say not to so I wasn’t looking for validation, but then I just thought of how much fun the DGWs are and I’d feel I was missing out if I didn’t have it!
eresh12
your double bmouth has done u good rosco
Rosco
Yeah it’s been a funny season with them! Started the season with King and WC Wilson in fir him and their output flipped and not in my favour!! I’ll keep Wilson for the time being but I’m aware their fixtures turn soon! Fraser I may keep, at £5.6 ( what I paid) he is delivering value that allows better players elsewhere. Although there are a few players around that who may tempt me in a few weeks if I don’t have other fires to put out!
eresh12
wilson still scoring so yeah keep him around for a few weeks. fraser a bit quiet last few weeks but im sure he will return better in the next few weeks.
Rosco
I think with Fraser you have to look at the bigger picture, at his current price he has offered better value that any other midfielder, given that I only paid £5.6 for him that’s even better! He’s currently on 6pts per GW so at his price that’s good enough to keep for now!
eresh12
good point. thats a good way to analyze it mate.
Rosco
Just checked and there are only 4 outfield players that have been better value over the season ( Alonso, Doherty, Jonny and Boly). That said if he has tricky fixtures it’s knowing when to bench / move on!
eresh12
their fixtures get tough from GW11. u can play ings in front and go 4-3-3
