Welcome to Live Match Chat Game-week 8 FPL News: Here we go again!! We kick off GW8 with a proper match up as the two previous champions tangle when the Foxes visit Chelsea for a lunch time fixture.

Morning
I appreciate we have the midweek games so anything could go wrong but any ideas on what I should be doing with this lot? 1FT & 0.6 ITB
Stoke defender?
You look in good shape. Defence looks alright
Hold the FT? (Can’t believe I just said that)
Fairly sure you won’t do that
To be honest it might be the best thing to do this week, would love to get some Arsenal coverage in but I haven’t got the funds!
Mitro,
In theory (and I mean with two FTs!) can you do Morgan and McAuley to Mustafi and Pieters?
GP
Yes with 0.3 to spare
Shit ignore that, I was tinkering around and I had lukaku in for costa
0.2 Short
I thought I so Lukaku sneak in there under the radar!
If you took out Morgan and Stones and put in those two, would that work?
City aren’t keeping clean sheets are they?
Left with this
Unless you downgrade Walker to Vertonghen and do Morgan to Mustafi?
Still 0.2 short mate
Sell Payet??
Mitro,
Yeah I think it will need to be a midfield downgrade then.
You’re good to go Mitro,
All your defender can get CS next week.
Keep the FT.
Morning everyone. Earlier this week I joked about taking a cheeky punt on Allen… didn’t pull the bloody trigger though!! Anyone think he could be a good 4th mid with his easy fixtures?? I’m thinking of replacing King for him.
Matt,
He is in good scoring form but then so are Bournemouth. I think I would hold any Bournemouth coverage I had.
Cheers GP. I was thinking that but I have Wilson as well as King so was thinking I could drop King and keep Wilson to cover Bournemouth.
That seems reasonable then Matt.
Cheers mate. Won’t make the change yet as still have a few queries in my team so will wait till Thursday to make the changes but atleast I know I wasn’t making a bad swap.
Quick question re. transfers guys – if I am choosing between player A at £8m and player B at £9m and I choose player B, if player B’s value later goes up to 9.5m and player A’s down to 7.5m, if I swap them, will I bank 2m ( current difference in their values) or 1.5 (difference between A’s current value and B’s value at the time that I bought him). I would’ve thought the former but doesn’t seem to be happening when I hypotethcially mess around with my team. Thanks!!
You receive half the gains and lose ALL the falls. I.e. you will receive 9.2m for player A and receive 7.5m for player B = losing 0.3 net
Bit confused by the wording of the question but I get what you mean. If A is 9 mil and goes up to 9.5 then the selling price is 9.2 because selling price only goes up by 0.1 when the player price goes up by 0.2. If that makes sense. Hopefully someone will be able to back me up on that or correct me!
you bank 1.7 because you will receive 9.2 from the sale of player B. 9.2 minus 7.5=1.7
Has anyone else got a problem with Costa’s sale price? I bought him in GW4 at 9.8 and he is now 10.1 soon to be 10.2 but my transfer page shows the sale price at 9.8. I have asked the question to FPL but they don’t answer. A few of you agreed the sale price should be 9.9.
Ah sorry, I misinterpreted your question. You will buy player B at 9m and will sell him at 9.2m (as you gain half of all rises, rounded down). When you buy player A, you buy him at whatever price he’s listed at which is 7.5m
Overall, due to this ‘foresight’, you net 0.7m as you gained player B’s rise plus you bought player B at 0.5m cheaper
Hi lads sorry haven’t been on much. Hope everyone’s doing well? Although currently on 20pts with 3 to play! Shocking.anyway what’s your thoughts on Antonio to Walcott and Sanchez out for maybe son/chadli/Allen. Don’t want to Arsenal mids and it seems Walcott is back to his best? Sanchez eating up a lot of my budget. Just seen this year a lot of cheapy under the radar players are showing there worth! Anyway lads here’s the team see what you think..
Hi Jumpers,
Keep Sanchez mate, Antonio to Walcott would be good move tho.
This is exactly what I was going to suggest.
Thanks lads. I’m just not sure I want Double Arsenal..I’ll prob go with it for a abit.
morning everyone
Walcott now a must have? How did Hazard play yesterday?
Morning Dreamers.
We definitely can’t deny he’s on fire at the moment and with his fixtures probably is a must. All I know is Hazard scored
How did you get on yesterday Matt? I’ve 37. The guy leading one of my ML’s got a whopping 65. He is done. Ive 3 to go
I got 44 yesterday with Valencia, Heaton and Capoue left to play hoping to get over 50. 65 is a great score for this week who did he have? Did you see the high scorer this week? Alli, Allen and Walcott but he’s ranked like 3.8 mil haha
I got 39 minus 4 is 35 with Ibra, Firminho and Holebas left to paly. PRetty happy I took the hit, though I regret getting that motherfucker Bentekers.
This is his 65
He was ranked within the top 5k this week and is within the top 10k atm
Well, he has just 1 player left while most people have 2-4 players left to play. 😉 So he’ll drop.
I don’t understand how you can go from top 5k to top 10k with a score 65. Don’t you mean he was ranked in the top 50k before and the top 10k now? Anyway, focus on your own team, this one you can beat.
Ya I wasnt clear.
His GW rank was within the top 5k.
His overall rank is within the top 10k
I told everybody he was a must have the entire IB.
Everybody was like, no son, GO FOR SON!
I was like, no son of a bitch, Wally is going to make me rich!
It’s not glitch, Wally made my FPL life rich.
Why isn’t my poem getting any likes. I mean, shit, people? Appreciate a true poet. Like Bob Dylan I should win the Nobel Prize in literature.
Early transfer thoughts?
Walcott in for Payet maybe? Then again thats a tasty West Ham fixture.
I didnt look at fixtures yet but it really is a nice fixture. Maybe save transfer this week as you do have Sanchez to cover Arsenal.
For what it is worth, I am getting rid of ANtonio. But Payet has better chances of scoring big. Fucking idiot coach moving Antonio around way too much.
who you getting in Raz?
Lallana or Siggy. Depending if Siggy will play as a false 9 again, which I can’t fucking know till next GW! So probably Lallana, when and if fit I can keep him till the end of the year, if needed. So many good fixtures. Just the last fixture of the year versus City. But who knows, iit’s not as if City’s defense can’t be unlocked, Everton just needed 1 chance.
