Live Match Chat Gameweek 20 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 20 FPL News: We hope you enjoyed your 17 hours free from FPL and football in general! Yes, you read it right, GW19 ended last night and GW20 starts this morning. Now if that doesn’t smack of rotation then we don’t know what does. Obviously the teams are spread out in some sort of equal ‘ish’ fashion but there is also the issue of having so little time that some injuries will not be reported on. It’s a bit hit and hope in that respect at this time of year and so the team sheets will be eagerly anticipated and we begin at 12.30pm with ‘Boro hosting Leicester, followed by four 3pm games and today ends with Man united visiting West Ham. Tuesday evening see three games, before our week and Christmas period itself finally ends on Wednesday with Spurs hosting Chelsea amid echoes of a certain New Years Day fixture two years ago ending up 5-3 to the hosts, albeit a few days earlier than the anniversary.

Anyone have an update of Bentekke’s injury?
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Nope, think he is in the process of getting a scan.
“He’s disrupted the joints in his shoulder or tore a ligament,” mused an angry Sam Allardyce
Pancho
Hope he is injured so I can justify shipping him out for Defoe
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Justify? Think we could justify taking a hit to sell him even if he wasn’t.
nishant
I got in Defoe for Origi
nishant
Hello gents
Thoughts on tonight’s game?
End to the Chelsea winning streak?
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
It is going to end at some point. Might be easier for a weaker team to catch CFC asleep than Spurs. But Spurs will certainly be up for it. Hope they do beat them, hate for the EPL race to be over by February.
nishant
Yeah
Chelsea look alienated at the top 😉
You got players playing tonight?
I got Haz Azpi and Costa
Raziel
A hopeful gooner. Spurs will crush Chelski or maybe a boring 1-1. Costa to versus Lloris and Hazard to score versus Courtois. Thank you. Kane own goal will also do. ;P
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
I have Luiz and Costa.
Raziel
Okay, Luiz own goal and Costa goal it is. 😉
Just kidding.. Wasn’t Luiz still injured and feeling bad after the whole Kun tackle thingy? I read something about it yesterday. You reckon he will start?
nishant
Hope is all we can do
:/
Kune OG would be sweet though
nishant
Kane LOL
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Not sure if he will start Raz, yeah I saw that also. Hopefully he gives it a go
nishant
‘We’ll need to play with a high tempo and be fully concentrated for 90 minutes.’ @marcosalonso03 on tonight’s game
Alonso at least will surely start then
Colriles
Anyone able to tell me how close Defoe and Ake are to a price rise?
nishant
Defoe is rising at 1.1% Per hour
He is currently at 21.5% rise
So he will rise at least after two days at this rate
Ake is rising at 0.5% per hour and currently at 16%
They won’t rise easily in the next 2-3 days

Cheers for the info Nish. Guess I need to pull that trigger long before the 14th!
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Considering my budget about 102, If I played my WC this be my initial inclination. Would probably change over a couple of days, but it be close to this.
I however won’t be playing my WC, so all just a pretend scenario.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Playiing out this Hypothetical> It would take a lot of reshaping to fit Kun, plus I don’t love their next two fixtures. Ibra is likely to stay with me until his probable blank in 26, his fixtures are too good. So it becomes a battle between Diego and Harry for the 2nd top striker spot. I prefer Costa’s next two (after Spurs) over Harry’s next two. Although that fixture vs the Baggies could yield some good returns. After two GWs, basically before 23 kicks off, I would look at moving Kane or Kun in for Costa. If Kun will have a blank in 26 and we would know by GW23 it will probably be Kane, since he has great fixtures and no possible blank.
nishant
Very likeable
Press the WC 😉
Forget the DGWs
Mitro
Don’t do it mito

I’m also struggling not to play my wildcard even though 3 days ago I was really happy with my team. Had a quick go and came up with this rabble….
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
That’s a good side there, you obviously concentrated more of your money in your third mid with Alli.
Not really struggling to not play it though, was just bored and did a hypothetical one, but I have zero intention of doing it. Just wanted to see what it would look like.
SAFs_hairdryer
These lob. FPL breaks between games give me an itchy finger.
I had to shop out Alonso, Hazard, Carroll and Capone to get that team so only the last 2 are are problem right now
SAFs_hairdryer
*long
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
I would have kept Capone. He don’t like it when he is crossed…
SAFs_hairdryer
Haha. He’s up on an FA charge of fraud and racketeering
Rosco77
I seen this And liked it! I can get it with 4.5 in the bank somehow, which could turn Giroud into Kun if needed… must resist the wildcard!
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
U bastard!!
Rosco77
Ha ha I don’t even know how it’s possible!
nishant
Chelsea team tonight: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Diego Costa, Hazard. #TOTCHE
nishant
THFC: Lloris (C), Walker, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Kane.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
No Cesc or Willian here either
SAFs_hairdryer
Cesc is really just a squad player for them and it’s a straight choice between Willian and Pedro. Both teams look at full strength so should (hopefully) be a cracker
nishant
Conte is too conservative
Works for him
