FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 28
Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 28
It’s Blank Gameweek time. Just seven fixtures this week with Brighton, Fulham, Liverpool, the Manchesters – United and City & West Ham United all ducking out of PL action due to it being FA Cup Quarter Final weekend.
We begin on Friday at 8pm when it is the Trent-Tyne derby (not a thing, but I like the sound of it) as Forest host Newcastle to get us underway.
Saturday offers 5 matches – four of which get going at 3pm. Aston Villa v Bournemouth is the alphabetical first choice, then we see action at the G-Tech as Brentford play Leicester, Southampton hope to keep out Spurs (or more specifically Harry Kane) and it’s Wolves v Leeds at Molineux.
Chelsea look to keep their recent run of good form going by taking the bins out against Everton at half five.
Sunday’s solitary fixture – and the last of the gameweek – is a London derby as leaders Arsenal roll out the red carpet to their midfield legend Patrick Vieira (and his Crystal Palace boys).
The games in full

AJW
Yeah sorry I was being a bit hypocritical wasn’t I? So you reckon old Tony could be touch and go? Yeah maybe that is a good idea instead of good old regular Harry Kane. I’m alright, slowly making progress after being stuck in the lower ranks all season. Cheerio!
AJW
Sorry, Toney, I spelt his name wrong!
AJW
Oh sugar, this message was meant for Hammer Fan. Something went wrong with the reply function.
hammerfan_lm
You been on the vino AJW!!
Dont worry, my mate at work calls him Tooney!!!
Ivan mentioned something about his ban – it could maybe, possibly come sooner – case of waiting and seeing. We have till the April 1st deadline to see.
Would rather keep Kane, and ditch Tony/Toney/Tooney..lol
Glad you are doing well mate
The Padster
City, Man United, Chelsea and Brighton all blank 32
Smash
FH baby
hammerfan_lm
Wouldnt the FH be better for the dgw34 to load up on dgw players?
for the blank, just try and negotiate through it some how.
just a thought.
AJW
My thoughts exactly HF! Then get the best team possible in a FH in 34. Which I think is a good way to get a decent number of City, Pool and MU players aft once.
hammerfan_lm
i am in shock that you agree with my AJW!!!…lol
Just my opinion (and seems yours), that dgw34 is good for a FH.
Smash
Certainly not for my team
AllanBrallan
Happy monday to you all. Got 1ft and 0,3 itb. Think that i won’t try to make this team bb-worthy. But should i do anything here? Hard to bench anyone of these…
RafflesHotspur
Option to lose Tarks for a double defender and get a 2nd playing GK for a -4 and still look at BB
AllanBrallan
Yes, but the problem is that i then got 8,4 to spend on a playing keeper and a defender. And iversen played the last game for Leicester, will he play the next one too?
It’s an option, but i’ m not sure…
Otieno
Iverson or Ward to Steele and Tarks to Mings. Does that work?
IvanTheTerrible
Ward’s time is over

AllanBrallan
This maybe?
Gavy
Rashford is not going on the IB team with England which is a bit of a concern!
Already used my FH to sort out my Saliba issue.. was thinking of a -4 but really hoping it dosent have to be for rashford. Is Tarkowski to DGW player worth a -4? BB is active
IvanTheTerrible
There are almost two weeks to recover from what seems to be just a knock.
Let’s hope he does and there are no other casualties in this IB.

Smash
Not worried about Rashford at all
Gavy
I assume he’s in your mix for captain then? He’ll like be a lot of people’s if he’s playing both games
Smash
Yeah im expecting to captain him
The Padster
Rashford as not missed a game since the world cup, this will be just a rest i think
IvanTheTerrible
Rash will be fine but there are so many other players called for international duty

Gavy
Cheers Ivan, pretty sure I’ll be taking a -4, love to chase a DGW. But will old off until next Thursday for that.
IvanTheTerrible
You wont be alone Gavy. Think many will go for -4 and even quite a few for -8.
There are too many questions and one of them is do we bring back Haaland or leave it for GW30 and concentrate on doublers. Then, what to do with Ward who will not play. Looking at my team, think -8 is guaranteed for me.
IvanTheTerrible
Oops, that could be the answer to my first question
