Live Match Chat Gameweek 18 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 18 FPL News: “It’s Christmastime; there’s no need to be afraid”… Sir Bob obviously never played FPL at Christmas. Then again, “And the Christmas bells that ring there,
Are the clanging chimes of doom”, maybe he did! It’s the day after the big one and we all wake up to find out whether the FPL Gods will be kind to us with rotation or if they will kick us in the Bob Geldofs. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day with the family, or doing whatever it was you did. It’s over now though, back to the (second) day job – FPL. And we are in full swing today with no less than 8 games. Cruelly, at least for those who indulged properly, we begin with an early kick off which means it’s an 11.30am deadline today. We hope this news doesn’t come as a shock to many and equally that if it does that you are reading this prior to 11.30am! We have the early game followed by six 3pm kick offs before Hull and Man City round off Boxing Day for us with the evening game. The GW itself then continues on Tuesday and Wednesday with a solitary game on each day. Just for housekeeping purposes there is a break on Thursday but then GW19 begins on Friday and there is a game every single day then up until, and including, the following Wednesday. Just to confuse matters that run of games spans two GW’s – the break is between Sunday and Monday when 19 ends and 20 begins. Worry not though, we shall keep you well informed of when you need to wake up! In the meantime please join us to talk about the happenings on the pitch during GW18 and share your teams joys or woes as the games go on.

Hehe, all those people that wrote off Ibracadabra. Happy I capped him. ^^
The day started off terrible with Eriksen to Wally move for a -4. Amat not playing and the Firminho news. With the chance Firminho might not even be able to play versus Chelsea, I think (hope) Klopp will start him in the next game.
Actually still a headache. Wanted to do Kane to Costa but might have to wait with this move since both Firminho and Wally are doubts. Will have a close look, what is smart.
In the same situation, will wait to see if Firmino plays tomorrow then go from there. Thankfully Costa isn’t going up or Kane down, tonight anyway
Hey Raz !
What’s up mate?
Ibra is the man right now…
I am actually thinking of bringing Mkhitaryan as well, to be honest !
A crazy idea I know…but can be a mighty differential !
I am good. Weird xmas but in the end a good one. Hmm. Indeed, but rotation worries with Mourinho though.
Could REALLY use some advice!
Squad:
Grant. Pickford.
Alonso. Jones. McAuley. Francis. Kingsley.
Eriksen. Hazard. Siggy. Sanchez. Phillips.
Ibra. Costa. Origi.
A. Leave it as its set up now
B. Hazard and Origi –> kun and de Roon (-4)
C. Eriksen, Siggy and Origi –> kun, Zaha and de Roon (-8)
Obviously I could take an extra week for these moves to avoid / reduce hits.
Ideas?!
Hi James..
How’s things?
Well, if you have already decided to have all 3 of them upfront, then I would go with A…
Save the transfer and do B next week…
Agreed. A for now and maybe B next week. Personally id be reluctant to take an in form hazard out of my team.
James,
If you are convinced that Kun will do well against Liverpool then B is the call. I would guess that he won’t get 90 mins but that does not mean he won’t get points.
Otherwise I would agree with HL and Captain below.
i think i have settled on
deeney>defo
siggy> philips
smith> alonso
I’d this a four point or eight point hit? Could be rather risky.
How are you doing guys? I am sitting at 72 points with van dijk, bobby and can to go.. would be at 82 points if i capped ibra other than Hazard..
And my question is that is it necessary to bring kun back straightaway?
and/or is it too dumb of me without having any city coverage in my team?
agreed.
Just hoping for repeat of Liverpool vs Stoke last season
Apart from Aguero it is not easy to select City players.
KdB played well but the better value is with Sanchez or Hazard
No point taking their defenders
vaskarch23..good score..but,how can you be on 82 if you’d captained ibra and not Haz? shouldn’t it be 77?
Guys ,
Is it ok to sell off Moses as his return is either 2/3 for the past 5 weeks ? What has changed tactical wise as Moses not even getting atleast an assist? will this change once Costa in again?
If yes who to replace with ? someone who is really can score or assist week in week out for 5.6? I dont have anything in bank.
After my research I would say only WBA’s Phillips can replace him else we don’t have any sure starter as Moses does.
someone who is really can score or assist week in week out for 5.6? I dont have anything in bank.
That’s too much to ask for at that price mate
Phillips is the man though
agreed.
Allen
Koscielny gets a CS and still goes down in price. The CS have been rare but with their fixtures there should be more coming.
I didn’t see the game but sounds like Sanchez was unlucky not to get a hatful of points.
Any news on Walcott?
10 saves by Foster! Sanchez should have got atleast 2 goals so wouldn’t be worried about him and think Wenger said Walcott had a minor calf injury but it’s not serious so should be back.
Never been a fan of premium defenders, think only Chelsea defense is worth considering in premium category
Snookie, thanks for the reply. Keen to get Walcott into my team. Think I will stick with Kos for the moment while they have good fixtures
