Live Match Chat Game-week 5 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Game-week 5 FPL News:
We begin on Friday evening this week and it should be a cracker as Chelsea play host to a recently rampant Liverpool. We then have to wait until Saturday afternoon at 3pm for the next instalment of four games as Hull look to contain Arsenal, Leicester look to bounce back from the said teams rampancy as they host Burnley, Man City will look to extend their unbeaten run against Bournemouth, West Brom host West Ham and then Saturday is rounded off as Everton will be hoping for more North Eastern favours in the shape of Middlesbrough in the late game.
Sunday is where our GW5 concludes and there are four games to get our teeth into. Watford and Man United go early at 12pm, Palace host Stoke and Southampton play Swansea, both at 2.15pm before Spurs entertain Sunderland at 4.30pm to finish the game-week.

My RMT just got hijacked…oh well I’ll just go it alone…sighs
Hi Mitro.
KDB instead of Sterling or as well?
Lukaku could become Benteke to find the funds
Hey all,
Debating whether to use my wildcard in order to get aguero back in along with get some of the key players that have ‘easier’ fixtures coming up. What do you think based on my current team?
Other option would be to take ineanacho out for someone like Defoe.
Thoughts appreciated.
Hi lewis, what’s your money and transfer situation like?
Hi,
Only got 1 transfer and 0.8 itb. Just trying to decide on whether aguero is worth using the wildcard for or save for later.
Cheers.
Tough one then lewis and I’m trying to put myself in your situation here. Aguero isn’t coming back into this team anytime soon without a few hits or some tough compromises. Or a WC. Shame to be basically WC’ing over 1 player but in all honesty you could probably justify it given the midfield also. It’s ok as it is but if you WC’ed you could have a completely different 4 in all honesty which would all be an improvement on those currently there. At least for now anyway. I think I’d WC it.
Be good to hear other opinions on that though, I certainly wouldn’t jump in and do it just on the basis of what I’ve said. Anyone else please?
I think I would WC as I hate taking points hits. Clearly you can’t do it with 1 FT, but I wouldn’t want to give it a week either as you’re relying on iheanacho.
If you don’t mind a points hit, you could swap out hazard or Zlatan to make it work with 2 FT…. I can’t decide which myself!!
Totally agreed init. To be honest I think my only options are WC, go without Kun or think of a long term plan to get him in (which I probably won’t stick to).
The appeal of changing up my midfield too is tempting as would be able to include coutinho sterling etc but still have ibra n aguero up top.
Would appreciate other thoughts though.
I’d probably go with a WC here. You have a nice team but like Init says the WC can turn that nice team into a better team all round.
Thank you guys. Wildcard is active so now will be a week of obsessing over the best options ha
Put Lukaku in for Kun but now need to swap back. Was considering dropping Hazard but not sure whether to give up Zlatan or Lukaku now. Could go for:
a) Kun & Chadli for Lukaku & Haz
b) Kun & Bolasie for Lukaku & Haz
c) Kun & Coutinho for Zlatan & Haz
Thoughts?
I like C but you’re really going to have to wait on Lukaku injury news before pulling the trigger on it, no point in shifting out one player if the other ones injured if you get me.
Yeah, makes sense. I was worried about Haz going down and Kun going up though!
I’d avoid selling Ibra or Lukaku if I could (barring the Luk is injured of course)
Unless you can find funds elsewhere, its hard… I guess you could drop sterling, but he’s in such good form…
If I had to choose an option, I think I’d go for A I think
Cheers. I’d love to keep them both but don’t think its possible. I have 2 FTs, but even if I swapped Sanchez for Capoue I still would be over 1.5m short.
Just watching MOTD and wondering about Snodgrass now!
Hey guys,Should i Use my Wc on this squad or just take a hit to get aguero in.
What is the hit Shane?
Was thinking of lallana and Aguero in for Lukaku and Hazard.
Ok mate thank you, initial thoughts are that it’s not ideal with Lukaku leaving but the other 3 all make sense. 3 out of 4 isn’t bad I suppose! Thing is it’s fairly template after that and I’m not sure you can improve it that much with a WC other than probably ending up with Lukaku staying in place of Negredo and Ozil and Hazard maybe leaving for a Pool mid and a cheapie. It’s probably just what you’d do over a few weeks naturally as opposed to doing it all at once now with a WC. Depends how much patience you have!
You could just do Hazard to de Brune?
That being said, if you did play your wildcard you could improve your team a lot.
Personally I wouldn’t want Courtois in my team, wile the likes of Morgan, Stones, Barkley and Redmond don’t really offer value for money right now IMO… With good cheap picks such as Antonio and Chadli available, maybe wildcarding could be the right move…
Call me crazy (because I am), but I think I’m holding off aguero(!).
Strangely enough, he often struggles to score against swansea with an average of 0.3 goals a game vs them, while ihenacho has a great record against the swans. It’s dangerous, but I can’t sell Lukaku now! IMO, de Brune is the priority…
I defo have a view to get him tho, maybe wildcarding next week, but personally I think it’s not worth ripping apart your team even for him…
Making some early transfers right now actually to avoid the grey price drop… Someone talk me out of this maybe?? haha
Hi Bob, what’s Iheanacho’s record against them like when he’s sat on the bench?
Well coming off the bench its a goal every match he’s played
Basically what I’m saying is I think Aguero will only get 60 mins of playing time if he starts…
Just watch him score a hattrick now hahaha
The other player I’m selling is Nolito hahaha – maybe I should just wildcard actually!
How’s your season been going innit? Well I hope!
You need Kun back in mate, whatever it takes. It’s not a great move in terms of anything other than covering off what everyone else is doing but so be it, you need to do it.
My season started off ok but has been a bit average since. Ranking 200k odd overall now as a result. I think I’ll WC in GW7 after the international break.
