Live Match Chat Gameweek 16 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 16 FPL News: And the silly season begins… Our first game-week on top of another, quickly followed by another. Expect rotation, expect the unexpected. As much as traditional team selections may go out of the window, expected results often do too. Welcome to the beginning of the reason they give us an opportunity to select 15 playing players. We hope you took that particular gift and didn’t squander it as it’s one you may well need, starting this evening, in all probability. Talking of which we begin with two games on Tuesday as Bournemouth face a suddenly rejuvenated Leicester, don’t get too excited though, they won’t get to play against Stones and co every week. Arsenal then face a beleaguered and strangely uninterested Everton at Goodison. Wednesday then sees a bumper night with 8 fixtures in total with the likes of Spurs, Man City and Chelsea all having games from which they should, in theory, have us all celebrating good fantasy points…
Whether they do or not please feel free to join us on the journey and post your thoughts, feelings, frustrations and hopefully celebrations. And no doubt the odd rate my rate as GW17 follows in quick succession!

Morning peeps..
Sooo..
Guess who’s got Smith & Williams sitting on his bench, mmm?
17 points just sitting there staring at me …ffs!
Hopefully I’ll have a couple of non starters, but clutching at straws TBH .
Who would have thought William would have done what he just did l. a funny FPL world this
I’m still spitting feathers. The one guy ahead of me in my ML accidentally played Williams cos he didn’t sort his team in time.
Not sure if it’s already been highlighted on here but Eden Hazard won’t play tonight as he hasn’t travelled with the club.
Thanks Kop.
I’ve seen a lot of the papers carrying the story on twitter so I’m assuming it’s real. Can’t find anything from the club officially but then the presser has been and they are not obligated to I guess.
Could also be bad news for Costa owners and captainers.
And maybe a good one to Williams-on-the-bench ones!!
I’ve got Coquelin first in line, so every cloud!
Yeah then there’s that.
They could just play Pedro and Willian which will give Costa good service
Could he be on pens now though? No Haz and Fab unlikely to play. Has he taken them before? Mito would know.
Costa used to take them at Madrid but has not done so at Chelsea. Could be Luiz
Based on history it should be Oscar more likely, he has taken them more recently, Costa took one versus Sunderland 2 seasons ago. Guessing Haz, Fab, Oscar and Costa is the order. But with Conte who knows, he may have Costa ahead or like Smash says maybe even Luiz.
Not Willian?
Luiz be nice! Oscar won’t be playing I wouldn’t have thought, he’s off to China for £60m apparently!
Like I said anyone could be up. Every manager has their own order or has them decide. We can only go by previous history and if Oscar is not about. Costa seems next up, but Could be anyone really.
Penalty should almost always go to the striker of the team. Unless you have a special player or a specialist.
Yep just seen Willian’s penalty stats and not only has he not taken any for Chelsea he also only had 2 at Shaktar missing 1! Probably Costa then. Or Moses!
@DMC, don’t remember Costa being great at them. He got spot kick duties when Falcao left Atletico. He was about 50/50 also in La Liga that season.
@Mito – yeah sorry I had to leave. He’s 14 scored vs 4 failed. The failed ones though were all big wins for atletico while several of the ones scored were either winners or one of narrow wins for them which pretty much defines the bloke: unplayable when he wants! Now give them to Cesc please cause I don’t have him!!

Sky are reporting it, he hasn’t travelled due to the knock he picked up against WBA
What’s the news on Hazard?
He’s out. I have to do with Holebas, lol.
Ben Dinnery says it was a nock at the end of WBA’s game. Nothing serious it seems.
The one downside of having so many games crammed together – not enough time for recovery!
Posted a link from Sky above Smash 😉
Thanks noticed that after posting
Chelsea midfielder Oscar says he is on the verge of completing a transfer to Chinese Super League giants Shanghai SIPG.
Reports in England have claimed the Brazil international is set to reunite with former manager Andre Villas-Boas after Chelsea accepted an offer said to be worth up to €60million.
And the 25-year-old is now expected to complete the move when the transfer window opens after claiming that the deal is all but finalised.
“It’s 90 per cent certain,” he is quoted as telling SporTV. “It just depends on a few bureaucratic details.”
Wow just 25 years old and on verge of ruining his career :/
Money is his biggest motivation. A waste, yeah. Means he just doesn’t have that pro mentality to fight for his spot.
A shame as I think he is a quality player. Although he doesn’t show that quality enough to be a regular at one of the stronger teams in Europe.
Don’t know why we think athletes have to be any different than us. All of us would jump at a career opportunity that paid us way more than what we get now. Somehow though, the athlete has to be better than us and turn down the money.
Fck that…Show me the money!!
I have no issue with them taking the money. As you’ve said we’d all take it
Where I do have an issue is if a player who’s moving to China tries to claim that he’s not moving for the money!!
But it’s been his life long dream to play in China..
Well, that’s different.
Only Migs would believe him. 😉
Just saw that hazard is injured! You know firmino is going to bag a hattrick tonight!!
I need a suitable replacement for stones; any suggestions? 0 ITB
What about Jonesy?
Is it guaranteed to play?
*he
Maybe Middlesboro def , Figuring you have a budget of 4.8mil, Jones is a good option, Question marks over his game time though.
Boro def is a good shout. They haven’t kept many clean sheets of late but it’s not like they’ve shipped a lot of goals and they’ve got some decent fixtures coming up.
Cholevas or Smith for attacking potential
Or Francis/Ake for BPS attraction
Was looking at ake – he would free up some cash! But boro fixtures do look appealing
I’d transfer out Hazard for Firmino
Lol
It did make sense at the time just a pain he’s out
That’s the risk we take sometimes smash! I will be curled up in a ball tonight sobbing if firmino bangs in a Hattie
I could do with Firmino and Kane scoring big tonight
+100 for that Smash!!!
Mitro – out of my head there’s Janmaat at 4.7
And we are back again
We’ll soon be up to 3rd 😉
