Live Match Chat FA Cup Special FPL News

Welcome to Live Match Chat FA Cup Special FPL News. This weekend sees the 5th round ties for the FA Cup, meaning that it is a FPL-free weekend. However, FPL-free does not signify FPL-irrelevant far from it. If you scan through the fixtures listed below you will see eight Premier League teams are left in the competition and bizarrely all eight have been kept apart in the draw. Now a closer scan of those fixtures will show that all eight top tier teams are firm favourites to win their tie – possibly Leicester being the less obvious. We have banged on about GW28 for weeks now – and this is when we get to find out exactly how disrupted GW28 will be as that is when the 6th round of the FA Cup will be played. At present only three fixtures are guaranteed for GW28 and if results go as expected in the Cup, then those three fixtures will be our sole game-week interest.
Therefore, keep a close eye on this weekend’s games to see how GW28 will pan out and also to keep an eye on potential transfers and injuries etc.
We talk about about things going as expected, but of course life doesn’t always turn out like that does it? Look at Brexit, President Trump, Arsenal losing to Bayern in the round of 16…….
….the FA Cup really can produce some upsets and maybe, just maybe some Premier League teams may get beaten by lower level opposition. Who would ever have predicted lowly Bournemouth humbling holders Man Utd in 1984, reigning league champions Arsenal losing to Wrexham who were bottom of the the old fourth division in 1992, non-league Sutton knocking out Coventry in 1989, Ronnie Radford’s famous goal leading Hereford to upsetting Newcastle or indeed Wimbledon beating the then mighty Liverpool on the biggest stage of all at Wembley in 1988?
See below this weekend’s fixtures and to the right of each fixture the GW28 match which is at risk if the Premier League team win this weekend.
FPL carnage! Love it.

  1. Good luck this week ever…. Oh, hang on.

    Oh well, let’s see how the cup games pan out and then we can get back to it.

    Anyone watching any? Or going to any?

    • Burnley need to pull their finger out!

    • Currently watching the end of this Burnley game but probably won’t watch any of the others, maybe just flicking between them and the rugby. Anybody else watching them?

      Did you see the scuffle Flanagan kicked off Kop?

    • Watched the Burnley game…
      Gonna watch City and Chelsea later on…
      So, yeah – footy all day long…

  2. Man City team if anyone cares

  3. And Leicester and ‘Boro ones

  4. Humm as it stands, the Burnley-Liverpool game is on. Humm

  5. Lincoln win! Wow!!

    Just need Leicester to lose and I’m sorted

    #mane!!

    • Lincoln are quickly becoming one of my new favourite teams!!!

      • I think they have a greater shot at winning the EPL than Liverpool, in the upcoming ten to twenty years. :p

    • Lincoln!
      Hah
      What a start of the day.
      First of many surprises today ?!

      Afternoon all

  6. Out of curiosity, are people planning on getting the full 15 players for GW28 or just 11 players?

    • Full 15? What are you talking about? That messes your team up. 11 is much already.

    • Hey mate
      I only get a full 15 for a DGW
      So, no…

      Many will struggle to get 8…
      And fixtures are not tasty enough to risk more than usual…
      You don’t wanna get stuck with some players you don’t need long term…
      Many reasons for not going “all in”…

    • Cheers lads. I’m only aiming for 11 maybe 12 at most. Was just trying to see what others were thinking.
