Fantasy Football Live Match Chat GW31
The Man City vs Palace fixture has finally been confirmed as a blank. They join Arsenal and Wolves to give us our first blank gameweek of the season.
Despite the reduced fixture list, we’ve still got games spread across three days — because of course we do.
We kick things off with Man United’s trip to Bournemouth, where the hosts have become something of an FPL hotspot in recent weeks. If Bruno Fernandes is wearing your armband, you’ll be hoping the early kick-off captaincy curse is just a myth we all tell ourselves after the damage is done.
Saturday brings four fixtures, but — rather cruelly — just one 3pm kick-off. The traditionalists will be absolutely livid. We start with Liverpool away at Brighton in the lunchtime slot, before the solitary 3pm game sees popular captain pick Harry Wilson’s Fulham welcome Burnley to the Cottage.
Into the evening, Everton take on Chelsea at 5:30pm, followed by Leeds vs Brentford at 8pm — because nothing says “prime-time entertainment” quite like that.
Sunday at 2:30pm, and it’s all about the Tyne-Wear derby (well, for me anyway). Newcastle will be looking to avenge their defeat at the Stadium of Light, and perhaps restore a bit of dignity after their midweek embarrassment at the Nou Camp. No pressure.
We then close out the gameweek with two 2:15pm kick-offs — because scheduling consistency is clearly overrated — as Villa host West Ham and Spurs face Forest.
Good luck all — you’re going to need it.

To hell with this season.. what a joke. Had no clue Friday deadline and just 8 players. Had planned to free hit. Didn’t even make 1 transfer.
Raziel
Same Reggie. Deleted my account.
Reg83
Luckily armband was still on bruno f from last week.
ODT
You were in the top 2 or 3 at this site league standings. That seems kind of rash.
Raziel
It’s not rash. Well maybe a little. Lol. Lot m going on in my life. Figured all the extra time I put into this would also go away. Was top 50k last week or so. Not about the ranking or how good I’m doing. Fucked up too many times. Missing the deadline by one minutes was just the last straw.
Reg83
There were just 8 gws left this season. I consider anything in top 100k to be a very good rank. But well if u decide so. Had i played FH as planned, i would have surely got ekitike and Raul J, who is benched. So maybe not too bad at end forgetting deadline.
Raziel
It’s very bad. The alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end. It’s my fpl ending. Period. Lol Not coming back.

Hope you all captained Bruno!

Yep, and he gets 3 baps as well

Only silver lining this week. Dalot flops for me and now just have 6 more players left this week. Can only hope for lot of 1-1 draws with some own goals

Wilson here. I’m still feeling okay about it
