Live Match Chat Gameweek 21 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 21 FPL News: After how many games in how many days, and just when we are at our most busiest on a personal basis, we then get two weeks off, just as we are all suddenly at our least busiest on a personal basis! FPL doesn’t understand or forgive family matters, they don’t pay the bills, TV rights do. Anyway we hope you spent the time well and recharged those batteries as we are full steam ahead again and enter the second half of the season which is always more exciting for us than the first and that’s mainly due to the inevitable chaos of the double game-weeks which loom large on the horizon and will start to shape our seasons soon enough. For the time being it’s a normal week ahead and we begin with Dele Alli, sorry, Spurs facing West Brom followed by no less than six 3pm Saturday games. Last seasons champions then host this seasons champions elect in the evening game. Sunday sees a Merseyside vs Manchester bonanza as City visit Everton at lunch before United host Liverpool in the 4pm game.

By all accounts John Terry and Fabregas have been on the phone to Costa telling him to apologise to his team mates and forget about China till the Summer and re assess.I reckon he’ll be back in the team next week as Chelsea close ranks.
Raziel
Yeah, Giroud back to Costa.
Horse
Like it Raz
Brookyboy
But what about Kane….
anyway i think Giroud will be fine….pissed i dont have him for Hull though…kinda pissed i took him out……!
Brookyboy
Forgot to add,straight after the conversation ( last night) Costa posted that pic on Instagram and within seconds Terry had “liked” it !
Raziel
Oooh, they are friends now? 😉
Wasn’t Terry the one cheating with other players wives? Good friend to have. 😉
Cookie
Dear Diego,
Please stay as I am making serious inroads into your mrs.
Cheers mate,
JT
Brookyboy
Waxys
I knew people were overreacting with the costa situation.
Raziel
Dude, we still don’t know a thing. All we know now is that the Chelsea players are trying to calm the situation down. They don’t want him to leave because he will be key in the big matches. However, if Costa thinks about things more clearly I don’t think he will want to leave either. He can win the title with this team and he was set on the gold boot and maybe more. Chelsea have a real good team, good org. with great players and a great manager. The money in China can be made later. I mean, an idiot like Oscar that leaves, I can sort of get since he wasn’t always playing. Costa, however, he’s the main man. Would be crazy. ANyway, China is crazy and the money that is going around there. And we all know the competition will never be the best.
Cookie
For 30mln a year I’d be straight on that plane!
Smash10
Yeah same Cookie. Why would a Brazilian play in Europe if it weren’t for the money
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
What?
Waxys
No not me if I were a pro football player. I would be happy with my EPL wages
TheDreamers
Hard to say Waxys – the world has gone crazy
he must be on , what, 5m a year?
30m a year, depending on motivation is a big deal
Waxys
He’s on around £8 a year. I just don’t see why players would move to China in their prime when they have the chance to make history in s competitive league. Surely not having competition makes for boring games.
I can’t blame him if he goes but he will be forgetter in China instead of making the history books. Besides it’s not like £8 a year is peanuts either hahah
Smash10
I can see why someone would want to play in China. The money is crazy. A player could get injured at any time and their career would be over. Money generally comes first. Which is probably why most English players stay in this country and why South Americans come over to Europe
TheDreamers
In his mind, he could be the guy to make the Chinese league a credible league, Or it could be he would be number 1.
Who knows ( could be just the money)
Waxys
Eh all I know is people we resting like it was definite he was moving when these so called “sources” just did a 180. This stuff happens every year I’m suprised no one has caught on yet.
inittowinit
Hardly surprised. You seem the type who knows everything before it happens. Especially after it does.
Pancho
Ehhhehhhe
Brookyboy
Ha ha he provides great side show entertainment…..
inittowinit
That’s why we left him be rather than the alternative which would have been more satisfying
Waxys
Tad rude but whatever. You would think I’m a troll with the way you two are acting. But I don’t personally recall trolling or anything of that sort.
inittowinit
Not harsh at all. Your posts stand out as being completely out of synch with the rest of the site and the nature of it. Everybody has spotted it and most want you banned as a result. Myself included. Less hassle that way. I was on the verge of doing so last week but was asked not to. I’m still struggling to see why I shouldn’t. Give me a reason not to.
Waxys
If you say so, seems like just you have an issue with me though as I haven’t really heard anyone else have a problem with my posts.
Not too sure on what grounds I constitute a ban I mean you obviously can it’s your site but seems arbitrary to me.
I won’t beg or even justify myself I’ve never had the intention of being off topic or anything and I’m here for the same reason as anyone else and I think other people know this. Probably why they told you to ease off.
Do what you want it’s your call
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
I like Waxys, It reminds me of a young Mito at FFC.
Waxys
Thank you mito! I keep coming back for a reason after all.
I chose this over other fantasy sites as I feel it has the greatest community out of all. .
Mitro
Mito – yep 100% I like it to be honest!
inittowinit
“I haven’t really heard anyone else have a problem with my posts.” Lol, you pretty much spent all last week arguing with people who did. No?
Waxys I have had 17 direct requests to cull you. I put it to the management team and had all 4 say to give you another chance. Which I have. I’ve seen nothing since to change my mind really. Either get with the spirit of the site and stop being a dick or you’re gone. Linking your actual team for transparency would help.
TheDreamers
Willing to cut the lad some slack Init? I do appreciate you have requests to cull him , dont know him from Adam myself but the guy has been told to toe the line – he does or he doesnt with the consequences known.
Waxys
Well that’s all well and good but I wouldn’t say d*** when Raz got called out for using similar language you’re not own for double standards are you?
I spent like 1 hour having a back and forth with two people. I don’t think that’s much but fair enough it is something.
I’d just like take a moment to thank the 4 other members of management who understand the sometimes controversial nature of my posts and that they need to be toned down ( they will ” and I thank them for the feedback. And for not banning me it’s greatly appreciated.
Other than that I have nothing more to say.
nishant
I haven’t really heard anyone else have a problem with my posts
You can’t be serious mate
Brookyboy
Just keep that rod dangling Deano,i mean Waxy’s !!
inittowinit
Raz wasn’t called out for anything, never mind his language. I said the exact opposite in fact.
It’s not a personal issue it’s an ideological one. It’s to do with the nature of the posts on the site.
Waxys
I wouldn’t call calling out rumours and speculation for what they are. Which is merely being rumours and speculation as knowing everything
but each to his own.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
@Waxys don’t ruin it for Costa owners!
You hyped up Rooney and he….well, you hyped up Giroud and he got hurt, if you Keep mentioning Costa I am afraid of what might happen to him. Stop It!!
Waxys
Hahahaha this is true fair point mate.
My entire forward line is on yellow so I better keep silemt on the players I have.
My competition’s players in my mini league however are fair play
Waxys
Also you would see I immedialty called this being nonsense days ago hence why I didn’t change my team to replace Costa.
TheDreamers
waxys – to be fair you did
Waxys
Are you referring to me calling it? Or That I did replace Costa.
Because I assure you I’m not here to deceive anyone what I say is how it is ( or how I feel at least ).
TheDreamers
I’m referring to you saying it was nonsense. I didnt look to see if you changed him or not
Waxys
Ah well thank you then
Rosco77
To be fair Waxys you’re not coming across very well, perhaps a little humility would go along way. Don’t want to jump on a ‘let’s gang up on Waxys’ but your general demeanor is so out of sync to pretty much everyone on this site. Word to the wise, I’m sure you’re a swell guy but you’re not coming across too well, I’d maybe consider reigning it in or by the sounds of it you may no longer be welcome.
Waxys
Yeah looks like init has it init for me Sorry that was awful
In all honesty i was too defensive so I apologise about that. Costs is just a player I’ve had since gameweek 1 and has done wonders for me and everyone saying that he’s out of the squad permanently over some rumours didn’t set too well with me.
I’ll reign it in no problem ?? Im here to add to the community not to be a pain in the rear
Rosco77
S
Rosco77
Sometimes things probably don’t come across as they’re intended in online posts, I’m sure you meant well. I was frustrated in losing Costa as I had a decent amount tied up in him, it’s made all the more frustrating hearing he might be back next week!
It is just a game though and most of us on here like nothing better than a bit of banter and most of what is said shouldn’t be taken as anything more than just a group of mates ‘ ripping’ each other! It’s not a vindictive place and sometimes it’s best to laugh at yourself, god knows FPL can drive you up the wall sometimes and it’s good that you know there’s a place where you can bounce your frustrations of others who know exactly how you feel!
inittowinit
Yes I’ve got it in for you but only because you are being a tosser. Stands out a mile and the amount of regulars who have responded to you to say as much in the last 4 weeks is astonishing. Quite why I was outvoted on banning you is beyond me right now! Prove me wrong by all means.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Waxys, have you ever nicked owt ?
Brookyboy
Your not Deano in disguise are you ??
TheDreamers
Waxys – Have I been straight up with you? Have I posted anything that has been unfair to you?
Init, to me is Mr. fantasyfootball247 with no offence to Cookie, Kop and the others.
Text is doing you any favours. Its a half arsed point. “Yeah looks like init has it init for me Sorry that was awful” – come on. Thats a miss.
Banter, fair enough – thats not.
You know what this community is about. Just be a part of it. You can contribute well
TheDreamers
Elle – whats that think in workshop (wood work) – t-square? its about 3-4 inches square
Waxys
Bad puns are my thing hahah it’s just banter. I’ve never taken offence with anything anyone has said in all honesty.
I really don’t know init’s problem with me I’ve never done anything to him personally but he’s called me out a few times now though.
TheDreamers
Where in Australia you from Waxys? Are you from there or based there?
Waxys
I’m from England moved a while ago with my family.
currently living in Victoria Melbourne. Nice place weather isn’t as good as you would think though.
TheDreamers
Company I’m with have staff in Melbourne. Was in Brisbane a few weeks plus some days in Melbourne and Sydney
Vaskar Chakraborty
waxys.. i am with u against init.. because he suggested me the bloody bugger ROONEY just before he got injured..
But dont u think it would be nice if u have linked ur team?
OR otherwise if u dont link ur team, might we know the reason?
REMEMBER mate… i am with u..
So please dont scold me or anything 😉
inittowinit
Vaskar I didnt. You’ve said this before and I’ve denied it previously also. I challenge you to link it up and prove it as it never happened.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
@Vaskar, I can edit mate, for a small fee I can make it like Init did recommend Rooney to you.
inittowinit
Still didn’t happen. I know who did and it wasn’t me.
inittowinit
You know full well I’ll hound you day & night now until you admit you’re wrong and apologise
inittowinit
Anyone know Vaskar’s twitter or facebook handle please?
Raziel
Okay, haven’t been reading this conversation but seriously Innit, why bother? You don’t have to personally be liked by everyone or accepted. And shrugs, if they make shit up about you… well… that sucks…. but we all know you have a second love for Rooney.
The pig and the rooster..
Raziel
Lol @ the I am with you against Innit comment. HAHAHA! Oww shit, I have to read this stuff later. 😉
inittowinit
Sorry Raz but he’s done this crap before. I’m still awaiting a response from when he did it over Christmas.
Raziel
Owww dear. So much drama going on. Got involved in something similar disturbing earlier this evening. Have not been following the site as much the past weeks, since the games ended. Waxys is a hard one, but I reckon he probably is a good guy. Everyone can be a little off. Not everyone has to walk in sync either. World would be pretty boring if this were the case. Plus it looks he really wants to stay. I say cut the guy some slack. Plus, as time goes by he will learn a few things. He can point stuff out we don’t see and the other way around.
Raziel
And most important thing on this site is to never make stuff personal. I joke around a lot and talk a lot of bs. But at the end of the day I really do it for the banter. I like the game but I try to not make things to personal. So I can let go easily and enjoy the site. Earlier tonight was the first time in a while I really didn’t like what was happening and the thing I probably partially caused. Learning curve, no interest in that type of business, so next time I try to resolve it even faster. For there will always be a person annoyed with the Razman. As weird as it sounds, not the entire planet can handle this hard rock of tender loving.
inittowinit
Fair do’s. Raz says Waxys can stay and that is good enough for me.
Waxys you are under Raz’s wing now though. Stray and you are a goner.
Raziel
Lol Innit, evil. But I will watch over him.
Brookyboy
53 (-4) with Zlatan,Baines and Lallana to go so a pretty meh day today.
My mate is killing me this season.Was top 5k before today.Got 94 with Sterling to go.Never gets any injuries.Thought he was just lucky with the moves he makes but now i realise he is just very unorthodox.
Hasnt owned Aguero all season or Costa.Took Hazard out weeks ago just before Chelseas good run for Eriksen.While we all took Kane out after his Hull and Burnley blanks he kept him.only big hitters he has are Kane and Sanchez.Couple of weeks ago he spunked his bench boost,when all his bench had shit fixtures,Coleman scored and heaton saves a pen and gets maximum bp’s.I keep thinking surely his luck has to run out ??
Today he took a hit for Crouch,i laughed,…..you know the rest….
Oh and he likes to gloat…….and he’s a Cockney ! Quiet as a mouse when things arent going for him in your face when they are…as i finish writing this hes just texted me an update on his points….
Can you tell this guy is really getting on my tits now……..
Cookie
Is it Milburn? 😉
Brookyboy
Oh and he doesnt watch any of the games……dont think he even watches match of the day !! lol
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
@Brookyboy, there is the secret.
My fantasy MLS overall rankings have been very consistent and I don’t watch MLS.
Brookyboy
Do you watch the Premiership Mito ?
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
No, I didn’t know they had a Premiership named after me.
Yes, I do watch the EPL and that is probably why I am shite at it. 😉
TheDreamers
Brooky
Ireland had this programme called the Premiership. Was on around 7 or 8. John Giles, Eamon Dunphy and Hamann. Was quite a good show and early enough that you wouldnt be out of your skull and not remembered who played well
Canned for financial reasons – doesnt make sense to me
Brookyboy
Lol.You thought of using your Mls tactic for the Premiership for a season,see how that works ?
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
It would work great. I would have been on all the bandwagons.
Milburn
Hahahaha caught me red handed!
inittowinit
Say nothing. Just beat him and then text the league table to him in May
Brookyboy
Ha ha,he’s just text me again to tell me he has gone top in another league we are in.Got to admit he’s starting to slightly get inside my head now !!! :cuss:
TheDreamers
Brooky – how far is he ahead?
Brookyboy
73 points after today.Easily catchable i know.I was 150 points behind in that league this time last year and caught up,just losing out in the last couple of weeks.I just cant get over how every move he makes this season seems to work somehow,however strange it seems at the time !! Got to tip my hat i guess !!
A Baines pen,brace from Zlatan and something from Lallana tomorrow would be nice !!!
Smash10
Yeah you will catch him. His luck will surely run out. Still a long way to go
constantine
I’m just so pissed right now.took out Alonso and he scores 21. Shit man. Someone told me that he’d lost his starting spot. Anyways I’m not going to blame anyone but this is a bummer for me.
inittowinit
Name and shame constant!
He was reported as possibly injured but then that looked less likely as Friday went on.
Smash10
Ouch that’s harsh
inittowinit
Was it you Smash?! 😉
Smash10
Think I was the first to tip him on here when every one was going Azpil. However would not be surprised I dislike expensive defenders
constantine
Smash, it wasn’t you. I had him for past 7-8 weeks but just to fund carroll and Alonso to giroud and valencia, i had to do the changes. Caroll scored and alonso scored twice.Sad but true.
constantine
I mean, it wasn’t you who suggested me to take him out..
TheDreamers
constantine
I sold him for Bellerin 2 gw’s ago. In that Bellerin 0, Alonso 22
Smash10
That could have gone either way. Both are quite heavily involved in attacks. Alonso has had an injury as well
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
I had a debate with someone on here on Azpi and Alonso. Since I was for Alonso :finger: obviously if I was for Azpi, I would not mention this.
inittowinit
I had the same debate and ended up with Luiz
Smash10
I remember saying Luiz was on free kicks and coming close to scoring. Still waiting for that to happen
inittowinit
Someone convinced me on the basis of his free-kicks, can’t remember who
Seen the crowd ducking a lot ever since but not much else 
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Luiz is the new Ronaldo.
Smash10
Yeah he really ain’t come close recently. He is still on them. Always a money difference though
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
It was for money reasons, I was just short on Alonso.
Pancho
My son said he was going to captain Alonso this week mostly because he cheers for Chelsea just to piss me off
I told him not to and so he captained Sanchez. Jokes on him! 
He still scored 93 with Firmino to play…
TheDreamers
words needed Pancho
Waxys
Woah 93 points without even having Alonso captain 😮
That’s mighty impressive props to him.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
That’s a great score Pancho. Still should be punished for owning Negredo though. 😉
TheDreamers
Mito – what you thinking? 3 pen misses and a red card

Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Yeah why not, sounds entertaining
Brookyboy
Good lad !!
Raziel
Ooooh I like your son. Good score.
