Live Match Chat Gameweek 19 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 19 FPL News: We hope you enjoyed your one day off from football because that’s it now until the 4th January! Seriously. We don’t recommend you tell the loved one this, or indeed the wife, but you can kick back and relax now knowing that there are potentially FPL points up for grabs every single day of the holiday. It’s so intense that GW19 ends on Sunday at about 6pm and GW20 begins at 11.30pm on Monday! Given the obvious lack of time between those we won’t have any help articles up between those two but everybody will be around as usual to help with team questions and queries so feel free to pepper the chat below with those. As for the gameweek itself we begin with a single game this evening as Everton travel to Hull at 8pm. Saturday then sees six 3pm kick offs plus a potential evening cracker as Klopp hosts Pep. Sunday concludes the week with two games and two London derbies just for some added spice. Good luck on the tube if you are down there for New Year!

So, getting in Baines for Walker turned out to be fruitful..7 points. I’ll take that..just hope my captain decision comes out to be good too.
Nice one Constantine – who did you Capo?
hey cookie..i’ve gone with ibra. hope he does some damaging stuff tonight.. 😛
Hello all,
I had few horrid weeks between GW14-17 and than week 18 best of the season so far.
I would like to ask for an opinion in regards to my team:
I had few brainfarts in transfer department like Okaka in for example. I also drafted in Kane before Hull game for a hit and at 11.3 and I`m still pissed off about.Especially that I had Eriksen lined up to be captain that week. Costed me more than 20 points. Fair to say that I don`t particularly believe in taking hits. I took 4 this season and I was successful only once.
Also had Bailly only to find out he got injured and didn`t play a single minute for 3 weeks I owned him.
Currently I`m thinking to try without Aguero for next few weeks. I`m still owning Kane as I hope it will be similar story to Ibra and he will score loads when he wakes up. The skills are there. I guess this will be one of decisive factors for my season. If I can withhold urge to transfer him out.
As you can see I also don`t own Sanchez or Chelsea defender. Hm, having thought about that maybe I should give up.
Anyway, for next few weeks I plan to get someone for Siggy. Maybe Lallana or Pedro. Although anytime I get Liverpool player he gets injured within 3 GW. Happened with Couthino, Lallana and Matip.
I also want to change my defenders a bit. Anytime I watch Bournemouth and see Francis I despair. On the other hand Ake looks very exciting prospect. he won`t keep scoring goals like crazy though.
McAuley was super solid so far but I`m afraid about his age and Brunt looks great.
Maybe I will get a chance to draft in sub goalie as I play with Heaton only for last 4 months. I was actually thinking on buying Robinson from Burnley.
I guess Okaka needs to be reconsidered as well. There are few options in sub 6.5 categories or maybe I will turn to Anichebe? I decided to go for 3-5-2 so he would be bench fodder anyway.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Hey Konstro,
Pretty good squad you have there – first up I would sell Siggy to de Roon after today’s game to raise funds to upgrade your 3rd striker
Anyone activated their WC yet?
I did
Haha NOOO! Even an amateur like me knows that’s for DGW time.
I’m never sure if wild card is a double game week thing. Yeah you want loads of double GW players but it does really mess up your side for the rest of the season
there ain’t much of the season left after GWs 34 & 37!
Smash – I won my main ML because I used my WC in GW33 – it does destroy your team but like cookie said you only have a few weeks left!
I used it GW 37 I think last year and there was loads of rotation
This would be my Ibra/Costa/Aguero team if I played my wildcard… looks pretty.
So the question is which…
Valencia, Vertonghen, Sanchez and Rondon
OR
Jones, Ake, Lallana and Aguero
Which would you choose?
The Aguero team bur make Pogba into Ozil by dgrading Phillips or Allen
I’m always inclined to lean towards a team with Kun. My concern is the lack of Arsenal cover. Is it possible to drop Hazard for Sanchez? I guess you’d need to downgrade elsewhere too?
Easy, get one cheap midfielder
At the moment, I’m wondering whether Sanchez is actually better value than Aguero…
(This is my current team)
Nice team that Ian
I wouldn’t be wildcarding this team. I think my next moves would be Hazard, Pogba & Rondon to Lallana, De Roon & Kun. I like the team as it is tho.
Ian, I’d agree with Banjo. Definitely no need for a wildcard.
And this is coming from me who has absolutely no FPL patience or discipline!!
Oh I don’t know about that Cookie, you did give Arnie all of 45 minutes once…
If i remember correctly he was lucky to get that long
OR I could do this to bolster my Liverpool coverage by bringing Lallana into the midfield… thoughts?
I think I’m going to stick to keeping Sanchez and Hazard and NOT going all out for Aguero just yet…
Did you know that Aguero has played in 12 PL games this season, he has scored 10 but only scored in 6 games – that means he didn’t score in 6 of those games. (Also, he only has 1 assist)
That said, 10 goals in 12 games is a pretty good return!
Would struggle to have a front 3 of kun ibra and Costa in my team.
Merry Christmas chaps (and imminent Happy New Year!). Have been a bit of an absentee from these parts so far this season and my ranking is certainly not helped by that. How is everyone? Have missed the bantering and shared frustration :cuss:
Was wondering if anyone’d oblige me with some advice on my team. Front line needs another big hitter, and since I’ll lose Mane very shortly he is likely to be the makeweight. If I want, e.g., Zlatan in for Ichy then I can do Mane > Lallana, but will also need Alli > 5.1 (Stanislas?). I like Firmino, unless he gets rested at some point. Don’t seem to have a lot of money… Any thoughts most welcome!
oops, here’s my team
Hey Pippin, hope you are well. That sounds like a pretty good plan already in all honesty.
Thanks Init, I’m well. Yourself?
The only downside I see is that I still have 3 Liverpool attackers, which is fine if they’re in form, but perhaps means I lack coverage of other teams. Certainly the option I outline above leaves me without Spurs attackers, who are entering a nice run. On the other hand, dropping both Mane + Firmino to bring in Lallana feels like a bit of a sideways move, even if its purpose is to free up funds and enable Zlatan up front. Will ponder it some more.
Hi Pippin!
Would you have enough by just doing Mane to Phillips/Allen/Stanislas? Let’s see how Stan does and how much gametime he gets and he may be the way to go!
Yo Pancho. How are you mate? Snowy where you are? How’s your season going?
Mane to a 5.1m means I could get in Kane for Ichy, but not Zlatan for either Ichy/Origi. And I think Zlatan is a more pressing transfer in than Kane.
Can’t honestly see a way to get a premium second striker in without a -8. Which is annoying but perhaps necessary if I’m to avoid falling behind those who have two top strikers, plus Sanchez/Hazard.
