FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 5
Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 5
The first midweek gameweek of the season and our matches are spread across three nights with a 6pm deadline on Tuesday (if you’re only just finding this out here, you’ve probably already missed it!).
Two matches kick off at 7.30pm with Fulham hosting Brighton at the Cottage and a London Derby between Crystal Palace and Brentford.
Chelsea go to Southampton for a 7.45pm kick off and then fifteen minutes later Leeds welcome Everton – where Frank Lampard is sure to get a raucous welcome after ‘Spygate’, which is rarely often forgotten.
Wednesday brings us five games across the same kick off pattern as Tuesday where we find Arsenal playing Aston Villa, Wolves heading to Bournemouth, City sharpening the bayonettes to cut through the Forest whilst West Ham host Spurs in our second London clash of the week. Lastly, ‘4-3’ memories evoked as Liverpool take on Newcastle at Anfield.
Thursday’s solitary fixture is now-revitalised Manchester United looking to put three wins together at Leicester.

2 FT and 1.1 ITB
Thinking to scrap TAA for Patterson and upgrade Archer to Darwin, going back to 3-4-3.
Everton are not the greatest at the moment but somehow have found a goal in the last 4 games and pool have only 1 CS in 5.
Good or bad idea??
Ripcurl82
I like this idea
bees393
Firmino has been playing very well…he may start with Darwin on the bench.
IvanTheTerrible
Bees, logically after 3 games rest he should start. The problem is that they all could share game time before the trip to Napoli on Wednesday
Otieno
+1 I think Darwin starts because he needs game time but he may well share the game with Firmino
Reg83
Dont forget jota is nearing fitness too. Once he is fit and nunez can stop headbutting opponents, there could be some serious rotation with Firmino in hot form too.
OddDane
It leaves you with two 4.0 Defs and two 4.5 Mids. Neco and Patterson have poor outputs, Da Silva unstable play-time. William joining Fulham in backup role to Andreas.
Hmm, not a fan tbh
AJW
So sports fans – hope you’re all having a good GW. Having a decent one with this lot (see enclosed!). I’ve just gone for my first week of not using my 2FT, and just wondering whether there was anything I could do to improve the team?
At some stage I will obviously trade out KDB>Salah (I’ve projected in a couple of GWs’ time, if KDB doesn’t go ballistic),
but also been considering a:
Jesus>Nunez (who I sold after his red card, for Mitro),
+ Diaz>Sinisterra (to finance the 2 abovementioned moves)
This would seem to keep me ahead of the ‘curve’….But maybe I should leave well enough alone??? However, that would mean burning a trade 2 GWs in a row!
Anyway, thanks for reading thus far!
Cheerio! 😉
AJW
Got 0.2 ITB by the way.
Smash
Nice team
AJW
Thanks Smasher, but d’ya reckon I should tinker with it in the above manner? I’m definitely keeping KDB for this weekend, as Haaland will probs be benched or rested, but getting in Nunez for Jesus sort of pleases me, but could turn out to be taking a risk just for the sake of it.
Maybe I can just use one of the transfers to get in Hendo, in the place of Sanchez (seeing Forest’s upcoming fixtures and Hendo’s good form!). Otherwise I could go for weeks without trading I think.
I dunno!
Rogueblood
This team could see you to the WC i don’t see the need to the above transfers tbh dont tempt fate with Jesus>Nunez it could be good but watching Jesus play he’s involved in everything.
KI
Agreed. So many teams are template, or near template, that the point spread in the upper reaches is quite limited. The real competition probably begins in gw8/gw9, with a big round of WCs.
I’m starting to compile my list now.
AJW
Okay guys – but quite embarrassingly I have to admit that this was the result of a WC a couple of GWs ago. Since then, I’ve been sliding along (from 4.7 to 3.8m and then 1.7m. Currently slipping inside the 1m ranks this week (after tonight’s match and my Pereira for James substitution!). So really looking forward to capitalizing on my team. Really don’t wanna touch anything – so maybe as I said, Sanchez to Hendo , and KDB back to Salah in a few GWs, pending performances.
Cheers and thanks for the comments! 😉
Stone Frog
Ditched Rodrigo and brought in Mitrovic. Bench Cucu or someone else?
AJW
Looking very good there mate – I would keep it like that, so that Cuc replaces James if he doesn’t play. Cheers and good luck! 😉
AJW
Maybe exchange Rammers for another keeper, perhaps, next GW?
But then again, depends on news.
Stone Frog
Yep that’s the plan for next GW, unless something else comes up. Thanks.
AJW
No worries mate. Smash says that James should be starting, so that’s something to look forward to! See you. 😉
OddDane
Nice team. As you are looks good
AJW
Tusen tak, OD!
AJW
Damn, it’s written ‘tusind’!
OK, tusind tak !
How embarrassing!
bees393
1FT 0mib – Ramsdale to Pope (or Henderson?) OR Cucurella to Trippier?
AJW
Perhaps the keeper option Bees. Or save?
bees393
Thanks AJW
OddDane
Not sure I’d do anything, hold the FT
bees393
Thanks for the voice of reason OD
OddDane
Terminators
Glad I didn’t make the KdB to Sterling move now Aubameyang is at Chelsea.
Otieno
Any idea what price Auba is coming in at ?
IvanTheTerrible
Sometimes not overthinking and overreacting pays off
