Live Match Chat Gameweek 17 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 17 FPL News: After the excitement (maybe not!) of the midweek fixtures we are back with a long weekend of games beginning on Saturday lunchtime with Chelsea chasing records at Pardew’s Palace. We move swiftly on to four relatively dull looking games at 3pm, if we are being totally honest about it! It reads more like a relegation audition or next seasons typical Championship fixture list than any sort of Premier League bonanza. Ahem, sorry, we’re supposed to build you up into a frenzy of excitement to encourage the conversation about what is to come and what is happening aren’t we?! We’ll actually forgive you if you leave at 2pm and return at 5pm though, just this once! The evening game could actually be an interesting one as Man United visit West Brom, both of whom enjoyed midweek wins. Sunday begins with a south coast derby followed by arguably the clash of the weekend as Pep meets Wenger at the Etihad. At the same time as that one Spurs will seek to gain some ground on the leaders as they host Burnley. Our game-week closes out on Monday with another derby game, this time on Merseyside. Please join us to talk about the happenings on the pitch and share your teams joys or woes as the games go on.

Hmmm. Is it worth considering the move Kane to Vardy?
Isn’t Vardy suspended?
I don’t care. This is how much I hate Kane now.
Lol
I hear ya. Captained him against Hull & Burnley and a yielded a measly 4pts.
In answer to your question… no, I wouldn’t transfer Vardy in. I’d keep Kane over him. Do you have any money in the bank?
Hello lads, hope you had a good score this GW. Here’s my team for next GW, I’m quite happy to keep Costa but that leaves me with no bench and Nyom and Smith with bad fixtures. I see two possible transfers to make (1 FT, 0.0 itb):
Rodwell -> de Roon (only 4.3 mid that plays regularly as far as I know)
or
Smith -> Amat (has nice fixtures and is the cheapest playing defender)
If Jones will keep starting for United I’d like to get him in, but he’s currently 0.1 too expensive. Nyom leaves for AFCON in January so I could upgrade my defense then (or alternatively get in a better defender now and get Amat for Nyom – can only get someone who costs 4.7 or less though)
So whatcha think? Get de Roon? Get Amat? Or someone else?
Thanks :thumbup:
I would do Rodwell to De Roon.. U need cover for Christmas..
Agreed. Amat is OK, and an enabler, but not better than Smith. Bournemouth are having a good season as well.
Tekno.
I’ve got Clayton 4.3 playing mid at the mo.
Even assisted Negrado at the wknd.
Good bench fodder.
Cheers lads
Gents,
This is what I will be rolling with for GW18 – G2G?
Looks good to me. Do you have a plan for Aguero or getting Costa back?
Everyone’s plan would be to kick Kane out after next GW to get Costa I guess…
That’s my one
Yes mate
Going to go with a front 3 of ibra Kun and Costa
Hazard will be my route to get in Kun
What if Hazard scores a brace?
He’s due one or two
Well I won’t be getting rid of hazard until GW20
this team looks so good, then I saw ur defence
:/
lol – wait til you see what it looks like in 2 weeks 😉
Why no love for Defoe as 3rd striker option
He’s done me proud over the last few weeks
However I did buy him cheap and he’s risen so that might be the problem.
Going.. Defoe / Ibra / Costa
Depending on form and funds I’ll be bringing Aguero in for either Ibra or Costa, but not in any hurry for him.
Like Raz …I also hate Kane…wot a flop.
Luckily I didn’t capt him, thank goodness.
I am probably just going to keep Defoe for the whole season tbh
Yes Defoe is very reliable and consistent,think its the fact he plays for Sunderland and their relatively poor fixtures that puts people off.Wish id gone for him or Benteke instead of bloody Itchy !!
yea, I saw an interview he did last season and he was saying about that if he doesnt score goals and keep Sunderland up then people he knows would lose their jobs. So he cares about the club and them and knows he has to score.
Is it worth a -4 hit for kane and fletcher to ibra and zaha. I’m benching Costa.
Man U Man
What’s the rest of your team?
Sorry, pickford
Alonso mccauley jones
Eriksen sanchez lallana hazard
Kane costa origi
Subs: grant fletcher amat kingsley.
Nice side Man U man
To be honest mate I wouldnt. You will be left with an expensive 5th mid (for a 343).
I would just get Ibra and save the money to upgrade (origi) at some point
Cheers Horse
Do I need to make any more changes ? Thinking nacho – origi or wait till next week and get Costa and Defoe in?
I’d try to keep Nacho one last week. It’s Hull he plays – if he plays. Worth the shot.
And then your move for the following week sounds great.
I cant see him starting….
Throw that curve ball in!
I meant Nacho
In the long run Defoe and Costa are your best bets. Hold the transfer. You can always play 4-4-2 if you think Nacho isn’t starting.
