FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 26
Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 26
From a relative feast to a a relative famine. Although it is essentially only a couple of games either side of the usual threshold.
Just the 8 this time then, with the bulk on Saturday. Bizarrely, there is no early game, so we go at 3pm with Forest at Villa, Brighton hosting Everton, Palace up against Burnley and Fulham going up to Old Trafford. Lots of travelling there then, in the latter 3 games, albeit at a sensible time.
Saturday continues at 5.30pm with Bournemouth welcoming Man City, not great but still manageable on a train.
That’s before Arsenal and Newcastle do battle into the night at 8pm. Just the 300 miles / 5-6 hours home then, if they’re lucky. At 10pm on a Saturday night. 
Sheffield United fans have far less hassle on Sunday with a short trip to Wolverhampton at 1.30pm. The sole game on Sunday.
Ditto Brentford fans off to West Ham on Monday at 8pm.
The games in full…
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.

Merde I went the smart-alec route with Mateta!
Raziel
1st goal scorer Watkins (4th minutes), Bailey assist.
IvanTheTerrible
Why didn’t I go with my guts and bring in D Luiz
Reg83
I did consider a villa midfielder but bailey. Went with hwang at the end. D luiz didnt cross my mind.
Reg83
Oh man. Should have got bailey. Goal and assist.
Colriles
My 10 yr old brought him in! And I went with Hwang….
MrMajeika
I know it’s easy to say now but I went for garnacho over Luiz even though something deep down told me Luiz. Even more annoying as my main rival went garnacho too
IvanTheTerrible
I already had Garnacho and went with the bandwagon Hwang over Luiz who was my initial choice.
MrMajeika
I mainly went for garnacho as Luiz would have given me a bit of a benching headache I think gw27 would have to choose between Luiz and palmer who have Brentford and Luton whereas garnacho has city. Just one of those seasons where alot of decisions are going against me
Raziel
Hmm. Hindsight is a mofo. Going with a dude that dyes his hairs should be punished regardless.
MrMajeika
I know right. Shouldn’t trust in the inconsistent man u.

Bournemouth v Man City
ODT
Uggh KdB on the bench again!
IvanTheTerrible
That’s what I meant earlier today.
Then again, let’s hope he does a supersub like has been in the past many times.
IvanTheTerrible
What’s more upsetting is that Walker is benched again. I knew I should have taken a hit and get a backup defence.
Quite frankly, had enough of Pep’s ridiculous roulette and might get rid of all City players apart from Haaland.
ODT
I’m certainly thinking of dropping KdB. Too much money for 20 minutes or less per week.
Reg83
Foden essential along with haaland i would say.
Kdb too expensive for the points he gives plus nagging injury issues. Prefer salah or son to him anytime.
I too have walker but trippier will sub in for him. Of course now city do get a cs when walker benchd
IvanTheTerrible
Reg, I agree. There are too many issues now to waste a transfer on swapping KDB with Foden but definitely has to be done with the upcoming WC which most likely will be around GW 30.
ODT
I just know that when I get rid of KdB Pep will stop rotating and he’ll score a brace 3 weeks in a row. Still though I have a benching problem and a cheap mid would solve some of it.
Reg83
Its more to do with kdb not being 100% fit i think. Otherwise he wouldn’t be benched twice in a row.
Nonetheless with ucl and fa cup reaching its business end, some rotation is expected for man City.
Mid-priced myself
Just checked out Foden stats, 24 starts out of 26. So pretty much nailed, maybe still not essential I think.
IvanTheTerrible
More fun at the discount market after all
