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.

Hmmm need Ali in my team! Thinking Haz – Ali … and while I’m on thinking either:
-4 to get Defoe in for Origi or
-8 to get Lukaku
Have I lost my mind?
-4
I knew you would embrace a hit Mitro my man! Think it could work out well!
I like it mate!
-4 is the better option!
I’m taking a calculated hit this week which involves Defoe in so that -4 gets my vote. Him Costa and Ibra make up the top 3 strikers so far in terms of points which says consistency now at this stage. That’s good enough cover for Kun for now I feel.
I would agree with you.
Also thinking how Defoe can get in my team. He’s the kind of player you’re going to keep all year!
Hey Init, was just writing a “Not fearing a Swansea hiding Init” message and thought, hold up, is that them? City’s next 3 fixtures are not gimmes
I don’t think they are and in all honesty had they been more likeable I’d have probably taken a hit and got him but they swayed me to sit still. Swansea one looms though I guess. Be interesting to see what shape both are in prior to that as much can change and will.
Thanks for the feedback guys! I’m not ruling out Kun but for now I’m thinking very similar to Init!
Evening guys,
seriously considering using my wildcard i kno2 most people are opposed to it and advise to use it for double game weeks. Anyone think i should pull the trigger for thos team.
Whats your other team ? Wouldnt have those keepers or Firminho in a wc team.Rest looks decent though.
few fair points. what about this team?
What’s the team as it is now please mate?
+1
here it is mate. Ive taken a minus 4 hit as i had to take zaha out for davies which allowed me to upgrade carroll to defoe.
i left enough to allow me to upgrade lallana to coutinho once hes back.
In all honesty your team is in good shape. Personally I’d save the wildcard but if you feel you need to change then go for it.
Regardless of the merits of playing it now or not I kind of like this more than the WC one! In fact there’s barely anything wrong with it.
yeah i feel i built my team.nicely but feel the wildcard team is alot better but along way to go so probably best holding on to it.
Thanks init i think it probably looks better as il have 15 players to chose from rather than 13 with pickford out and amat not playing. ill hold on to it. Thanks for the input guys.
Deffo not worth a wildcard.Decent team that !!
hi guys
This is my brothers team. He is in 30th in our ML – any advice? He is thinking something drastic , maybe even wc or a -12 (Grant/Baines/Philips/Giroud in for Foster/Cahill/Firmino/Anichebe)
Any ideas?
Foster/Heaton
Azpi/Cahill/McAuley/Ake/Prodl
Sanchez/Alli/Lallana/Firmino/Fletcher
Ibra/Costa/Anichebe
cheers
You got enough for Firminho to Phillips and Anichebe to Defoe ?
think he is shy Brooky
I’d pull the trigger on a WC and take hits at DGW time (effectively only a -2 if they start both games) rather than taking a minus 12, with him being so far behind in the ML I’d probably just go for it.
thinking the same Andy
Siggy to Dele no brainer before the price changes? Are there cup matches before the next gw?
Both clubs will have FA cup fixtures this weekend against decent opposition in Hull and Villa so I’m not quite sure if there’ll be that much rotation in the sides.
cheers Andy..
It’s a no brainer for sure Sir. Whether you wait or not is up to you and depends on whether you can afford to really.
I’m considering Siggy to Alli as well highaction. Do you guys think that’s a good move with my FT, or would you hold back some funds to improve my defense? The original plan was Siggy out for Phillips or Stanislas this gw and then Baines or someone similar in for Holebas next gw. I can just barely afford Siggy to Alli with current prices.
Heaton Pickford
Brunt Holebas Ake Chambers Amat
Hazard Sanchez Lallana Eriksen Siggy
Costa Ibra Anichebe
screw the defence – ATTACK
I wouldn’t double up on the Spurs mids with Ericksen in there already.
the recent stats say otherwise Andy
Thanks guys. Dreamers, I like your style! lol.
Andy, that’s probably prudent advice but looking at their schedule Spurs have a pretty nice run from here on out. I doubled up with Coutinho and Firmino earlier in the season and it paid off pretty well. Do you think there’s more points potential with someone like Phillips or Stanislas in for Siggy instead and a wad of cash to upgrade my defense?
PS- Andy, we named our 16 month old son Calvin and after he was born I bought my wife every single Calvin and Hobbes book that Bill Watterson ever made. Love seeing your grav on the boards.
Good to hear that Red, I think I’ll be getting the collection out again when the niece’s get a little older to see if I can get them on board with the Watterson world of C & H
Thanks for the responses folks… i made the transfer and promptly shut down the computer.. not thinking about FPL for at least a week.
alonso, pedro, deeny out for ake, alli and defoe worth -4?
or do something else? 2ft 0.9mitb
I think so Melon. When is the question though?
Hey guys
To WC or not?
That’s the hot topic at the mo.
Would mate a great article…hint hint.
It should not really be a question unless your team is a dump or you have nothing left to play for. 😉
Smart people wait for a DGW. I’d rather take a few hits than use my WC now. Which I actually did, too 5 hits in the last 3 gameweeks. 😉
I think it depends on your team. If you need to change 6 or 7 yeah probably. However a few hits could quite easily work. Spurs are suddenly flavour of the week. Considering I have no Spurs coverage this ain’t great. League is so inconsistent it’s hard to tell who will be the big winners in the next couple of weeks
every year we wait for the DGW……we wait….. when ?
