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. Rate my team posts are always welcome for the following week and will always be answered, do whatever you want on here, it’s your platform as ever…

Guys, hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas.
I can have costa ibra and kun up front but it wod mean losing alonso and erik for ake and allen. Would leave me with:
Pickford
Jones mccauley ake
Allen hazard sanchez lallana
Costa ibra kun
Subs: grant carrick chambers amat.
I would be using wc for these moves.
Worth it?
Looks impressive to me which give a great captain choice ever week
Deffo not worth it if you are using your wildcard to do those moves and im not sure the points you will lose from losing a chelsea defender and a premium midfielder will be made up by Aguero Ake and Allen.Not sure who your 3rd striker is right now.
I have Origi right now. I know what you’re saying aboug losing alonso and eriksen.,but i want kun back and i dont want to lose costa or ibra. Really not sure what to do.
More team value than me. Love this team
Cheers Smash.
+1
man u man – this is your first wc ya? not the one available from Jan?
if yes to first wc, then yes I’d do it
My first one yes. Cheers Dreamers.
Yeah I’m jealous
Morning guys,
I have 2FTs and 0.6m in the bank.
I need to sort out Wilson any thoughts?
I’ve looked at getting Kun alongside Ibra and Cost but it means losing hazard and down grading defence?
Hey Smithy, do you want to keep a 343 or swap to 352??
I’ve always been 343 but the forward options aren’t great so I would consider 352.
Wilson to Anichebe and upgrade Capoue??
Hazard to Phillip,Kos to Jones or Cedric ?
Crap GW unless Kane can score a Hatty which I doubt. Ok all who we going to run with Kun & Costa or Kun & Ibra or Costa & Ibra cheers guys 😉
Morning Silvers, How are you mate? I think I’ve decided to go with Costa and Ibra until Kun gets a bit of fitness under him and until United/Ibra dip in form. What about you?
Mattx Really not sure it’s a tough was going Kun & Ibra but not sure
Yeah I think for me it’s Costa and someone else. The guy is the best in the Prem right now so I think until he reverts back to his bad boy self (if that happens) he is a must have.
Silvers
Kun Costa and Ibra for me
Yeah also trying to go all 3.
Morning guys
Not bad gwk 57 with Lallana to go.
My problem is defence which includes
Mcauly / Holibas / Amat / Smith / Barragà n
So want to beef up my def with Alonso & Walker for Barragn & Smith
1ft 0.1 itb
-8 hit would mean losing either Siggy or Defoe to raise funds,
Leaving me 4.3m to replace mid or striker.?
Mids.. Sanchez / Hazard / Lallana / Siggy
Fwds.. Ibra / Costa / Defoe
hey Big
I’d prob just do Holebas to Ake this week, is Barragan injured? Which Smith do you have?
Dreamers.
Want to bring in some premium defenders I.e Chelsea or Spurs
I’ve got the oop 4.7m smith already.
2 premiums seems too much. If goin a premium defender, I think Arsenal have the better fixtures. The thing is – you wouldnt want to play Barragan this gw anyway, and fixtures are good after.
Holebas has poor form – but again fixtures not bad.
How about Bellerin and Allen in for Smith and Siggy? Definitely not worth a -8
Dreamers.
Barragà n suspended.
Whos your 5th mid ?
Brookyboy
Clayton for Boro’
Well i dont like the sound of having to play Clayton or a 4.3 mid every week unless you are switching to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 ?? I’d save your transfer this week then maybe Haz to Wally or Phillips will give you some cash to upgrade your defence ?
Would love to bring in a United defender, wondering who would be the best value and nailed on?
Gotta ditch either Amat, Kingsley and/ or maybe Barragan as well. Have got 0.9 ITB, advice much appreciated
hey Shawn – if Jones starts today, then he seems best value
Think Dreamers slept right through Boxing Day…
oh dear
Just put on motd – no sound is a balls
Yeah same dreamers recorded match of the day and have no sound
He did start and conceded a wonderful goal LOL
Hello guys, been in the wilderness for a while but I’m finally back. Hope we’re all enjoying the holidays. Got a green arrow yesternight (63) with Eriksen, Walker and Pieters to go…after a series of reds these past week gameweeks. Wanna keep the momentum going.
Below is my team with 0.6m itb and 1ft, any help will be welcome.
Cheers all. And happy holidays.
Hey Frunsix,i’d be looking to move on one of Amat or Wasilewski as both are pretty useless.Evans or Chambers have decent upcoming fixtures or even Kelly from Palace.
@Frunsix, you look solid across the front line, have to agree with Brooky, you could fix either Amat or uselesswski.
Thanks so much Brooky and Mito. Was brooding on using what I have itb to upgrade Pieters to Brunt though. He’s got such sweet fixtures soon and considering he’s on set peieces, that could be a bonus. That way Amat and Wasilewski will be relegated to permanent bench fodder. Or is that a little risky as compared to having a Kelly or Evans in place of Amat?
Cheers guys!
