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.

Fixture Tracker
Firminho available for Liverpool versus Stoke, despite being arrested.
The Telegraph report that it hasn’t affected his place in the Liverpool squad. He’s a key player for the club. He’s scored five goals and provided three assists in all competitions. They’ll need him to catch Chelsea at the top.
Thanks Raz hopefully he can score some points now
Do I need to do anything for this coming gameweek? I took Costa out for Ibra last gameweek with the plan to change him back. Good move after captaining Ibra this week and with price changes but wondering whether to keep hold of him? Any suggestions welcome!
I’m planning to have Ibra, Costa and Kun. You just plan to have 1? Wonder which one will work out better. 😉
Surely by having all three the rest of your team is very basic?
Raz, I’m planning to have Costa and Ibra up top and ignore Kun. City are not impressive at all this season and with United and Arsenal’s fixtures I think I’m going with Miki, Sanchez, and Wally instead and switching to 3-5-2.
igy, as I’m not a fan of Aguero or City I’m not a fan of KDB either. I’d sell KDB to finance getting Costa for Defoe or Llorente and keep Zlatan. If like me you agree that Arsenal’s fixtures warrant multiple players from them then perhaps KDB to Walcott?
Hi Tekno! Thanks for the advice! I could do Defoe to Costa and KDB to anyone 8.3 or under! Perhaps Lallana instead of Walcott as I already have Sanchez. I am 0.2 short for Firmino! By taking more of a points hit I could do the team below changing De Gea to Heaton and keeping Defoe and getting rid of Llorente.
I think those look like good transfers igy, but I think it’s too much to make them all at once and take a -8
What’s your plan for all 3 Raz? I might be going with all 3
Third now
Oops
Here’s the thing
We comfortably sit ahead of EA sport!!
Rondon in, Benteke out? Both have good fixtures coming up but I’m also looking to free up some cash would this be a good move?
With Hull and Sunderland at home in the next four it could be a good move, I’ve gone the other way and stripped the value out of my defence to upgrade the forward line, not having a Chelski defender has been rather irksome for the last five or six weeks though.
Liverpool unchanged
The #LFC starting XI v @stokecity: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Firmino, Origi #LIVSTK
#SCFC Starting XI v @LFC: Grant; Johnson, Shawcross, M.Indi, Pieters; Diouf, Allen, Whelan, Imbula, Walters; Crouch.
Cheers Nish, C’mon Mane, I’d also settle for Lovren losing that CS as long as he doesn’t pick up another YC.
I would love Lallana and Origi to get something
