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.

With Toby probably out for a long while, do you guys reckon this is the end of conceding so few goals? Took WBA just a few minutes after Toby was out to score.
Wishful thinking from here since I don’t have Spurs defenders and they meet Arsenal in 2 weeks and I have both Wally and Sanchez.
Is it Wimmer that will play then?
Not to sure how it’ll affect them long term but I might just be willing to cash out on Walker this week to take advantage of that nice little profit he’s made me, might be tempted to stick JT into my team as I fancy Chelski CS potential to pick up with them not taking part in any of the European games this season.
Current team below. I’m considering a few changes, which would be better?
A. Diomande and Lamela out, Benteke and Son in
B. Lamela and Antonio out, De Bruyne and Chadli in
C. Downgrade Sanchez to Walcott to have more funds for elsewhere.
D. Something else I’m missing?
I like b) i think your defence with DDG is too expensive. I look to improve your forward line.
Benteke and Son got like 0 points together? This gameweek? :p
Good move but I actually regretting getting Benteke, he can be good but that team… and Pardew.
I’m still relatively new to this game, it’s my full time hobby and for the most part I love it!
Obviously I’m realistic and know that every week can’t be great but how do you guys deal with repeated bad weeks!?
It’s like I look at my team and on paper it looks great and then I have an absolute stinker like I have this week and I look at my team and think it still looks good but clearly something is not right!
I do feel captain picks are what make the biggest difference, I felt like going Walcott yesterday but ended up going with the ‘sensible’ choice of kun and we all know how that worked out!
Yes it can be very frustrating. I used my wildcard during the week, put allen in and left him on the bench not happy yesterday. But the player i kept him on the bench for was holebas so all good again today.
I would be happier if I had them both playing, Rebel. :p
If they were both in my squad, that is. You should still feel a little unhappy, to be honest. :p HAHAHA!
It’s a great question Rosco. I generally sulk, shout at the kids a bit, kick the cat, throw stuff at the telly… And then remember it’s just a game and move on to the next week.
We all make bad decisions occasionally but they’re only ‘bad’ because perhaps they didn’t pay off on that occasion. I always ask myself if I had the chance to make the decision again without the benefit of hindsight would I have done it differently. The answer is usually no, in which case the decision was the right one, albeit it didn’t work out. As long as I can justify the decision in terms of it was researched and logical then I’m fine with the outcome whether that be good or bad.
Which is all fine but he doesn’t actually have a cat or a telly.
And it’s next doors kids he yells at!
Eheh I more or less do the same, minus the cat part, because I don’t have one. Maybe I should get one.
The Austin/Benteke basically sums up what init said. Austin had the better fixture and we all ‘know’ he could score big but the next fixtures are though, unlike tekkers’ so the smart and logical decision, which I would repeat, was to get him instead of Austin. That’s enough for me to bear with it. That and wally’s 13 pts of course!
HOlebas scores, fucking king. I love how him, Pieters and Smith are outscoring premium defenders from Tottenham and SPurs. Budget is the way to go.
HOLEBAS! MY MAN! HAHHAHAHAHAHAH!
I figured a few of my main rivals had him but nobody has him (yet) but they all have Smith (also a bargain). OMG!
Damn, I’d be butthurt right now if I had Capoue and Deeney but not Holebas, the mastermind behind the team.
The discomfort of Kun and Bentekers putting me in the minus yesterday, sort of disappears in thin air. Gone with the wind.
Should be from Tottenham and Arsenal, haha! I don’t care. :p
15 points from HOlebas, nothing from Deeney (whom I didn’t get, but got Bentekers, which yesterdady I regretted but now less) and I did Capoue to Wally and Baines to Pieters. Score old team would be 11 versus my team now Wally, Pieters and Bentekers (MOFO) 18-5- 13.
I am happy with the hit I took for Wally, could be better but who knew it was possible for someone like Bentekers to miss a penalty and get a yellow in 1 game. DAMN DUDE!
Current score is 54 with FIrminho and Ibrahimovic to go. HELL YEAH!
Played it safe with Cathcart 2-3 weeks ago as there were rumors abt his injury and now have Cathcart injured and sitting on bench with Holebas scoring -_-
Holebas on my bench. Kop told me to play him. I played Lovren and Stones instead. He’ll destroy me.
You sort of deserve it, like really Cookie. You know the position HOlebas plays and wtf Lovren and Stones do right? Seriously dude. You are way off of your game.
Holebas is the type of player I wouild give a chance versus topteams even, since he’s on direct and indirect free kicks and I also think corners?
On that note, it’s not like I have a choice. On paper I have a rather weak defense, but in reality they gave me ummm 30 points this gameweek. WHo would have figured?
Pickford
Pieters-Smith-Holebas
HAHAHA! GTFO with your Walker the dead and all your premium mofos. GO BUDGET!
Completely agree Raz, my own fault
Is Lovren playing is the question though Cookie, after Hernadez’s Hull no show he’s my last chance of having all eleven playing now as I’m down to having only twelve starters in my squad.
He’s playing for sure, would be surprised if he wouldn’t play. On that note, I figured Baines would be a def. starter.
Back in training Andy, local insiders say he is fit and will play.
