Live Match Chat Gameweek 28 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 28 FPL News: Or at least what there is left of it! If ever there was a definition of a ‘blank’ game-week then maybe this is it. There are just 4 games this week. And just two of the current top seven feature. That’s not to say that the weekend if irrelevant of course, as the rubbish teams can still score you some points, but in all honesty if you can still get excited about this lot then we doff our caps to you as a hardcore fantasy manager. As for the action itself then there are three games at 3pm on Saturday – Bournemouth will be looking to turn their Old Trafford resilience into something more tangible, and arrest their current slide, with what would be their first victory in 2017 as they welcome West Ham. With Man Utd winning the Milk Cup last week 7th place now represents a chance to qualify for the Europa thing and the two prime candidates face off this week to see who wants it least. Actually Pulis would probably see it as a feather in his cap whereas Koeman is probably more aware of it’s pitfalls. Now we aren’t suggesting that Everton would ever throw a game… but they probably should! The third game is a relegation battle as Hull face Swansea. Defeat for Hull won’t necessarily seal their fate but it will go a long way to doing so. We close out on Sunday with just the one fixture which sees Liverpool hosting Burnley. The visitors don’t often visit anywhere well. We don’t mean that they turn up late, get drunk and are surly and rude. Quite the contrary, in fact. They turn up on time, are polite and respectful and usually bend over obligingly when asked. If the real Liverpool turn up then they may well fill their boots in this one.
Saturday 11th March
3:00pm
Bournemouth vs West Ham
Everton vs West Brom
Hull vs Swansea
Sunday 12th March
4:00pm
Liverpool vs Burnley
As an added bonus, and as the main reason why there are so few PL games this weekend, the FA Cup Quarter Finals take place this weekend and may be worth keeping an eye on as they will dictate further DGW scenarios depending on who progresses. Just so that you are aware, they look like this –
Saturday 11th March
12:15pm
Middlesbrough vs Man City
5:30pm
Arsenal vs Lincoln
Sunday 12th March
2:00pm
Spurs vs Millwall
Monday 13th March
7:45pm
Chelsea vs Man United

Fixture Tracker
The Tracker in full…
So far so good. 49-12 with Coutinho n Mane to go. Might top my ML finally!
Anyone know what happened to Lorente ?
He went off in the 45th minute. :p
Yea I noticed lol
Serious injury or not ?
They said he had a dead leg earlier in the half so I’d imagine it was for that reason
Cheers saf
Not sure whether to do
Davis > Ali
Or
Lorente > Costa
Thx for info
It was reported on FotMob as just a knock to the thigh so he should be ok I’d imagine. He carried on for 7 minutes after it happened.
Cheers innit
What move would u do ?
See above
Alli is a sore point for me right now! (Long story). That said I’d be happy with either really. I took Llorente in with a view on their future fixtures and was happy that he could stay for 3 weeks, this one included. I’d also looked at my next moves and both Costa and Alli were on the table and I’d decided that Alli was my priority so on the basis of that I’d go for him. It should have been in 2 weeks time but evidently I have him already now in place of Barkley thanks to one of the kids!!!!!!!
If you were to hit your wildcard button today would you be happy with this team? Purely hypothetical…
I’d start losing WBA defence. McAuley to Davies of Spurs? He’ll last till April I think! Otherwise the rest are fine, I like the strike force
I don’t know if I can lose the Goal Machine
Good thought on Davies though! Thanks Neo!
Davies is a great shout
I’d maybe flip both Costa and Siggy for Gabbiadinni and Haz and put a bit more of the budget into a defender but that’s sort of what I’m looking at.
Thanks Andy! I prefer Costa this year to Haz. He’s been very consistent. Plus, Lukaku will likely become Ibra in a few weeks and I think Costa/Kane/Ibra will be the ideal 3. Also, Siggy just keeps performing and Swans have some nice fixtures. Hmmmmm
Hi Pancho,
I am also considering playing it tonight. I would take McAuley out. Just look at those fixtures! Stephens from Saints is a good cheapie option or if you want WB cover, get Nyom to free funds. Stoke also have better fixtures coming and a higher chance of a CS I think.
With the extra funds you can go Coutinho > Mane. Or upgrade Robles to De Gea if you want to plan for those upcoming DWGs.
Thanks Xaoc! I have Grant for Stoke coverage and Yoshi for Saints. I have Mane but did him to Cout to save funds. I don’t like United’s DGW options very much, but I plan to get Ibra in after suspension.
Good thoughts to keep considering. Thx!
Congratulations to all those who took the extra -4 hit and switched Phillips to King. I had my finger on the button and didn’t make the move. Sitting at 40 -12 with Mane to play. Any word on Firmino today? I have him as well.
Not a peep dizn, guess it’s simply fingers crossed time on that one.
Even better game week, bonus points showed up at 49 now.
Mega lol
Top scorer 104 inc bench boost
-54 point hit tho !
Love knocking out lower league teams in the FA Cup. None of this magic nonsense, crushing the dreams of peasants is what football is about.
Funnily enough that’s pretty much what Bayern said earlier this week :popcorn:
Hahah
Oi less of that Pancho….. 😉
What’s funny Mitro is that I was just gonna send you a DM saying this must have been a fun match to be at and then I refreshed and saw Init’s comment. Is it better to get pummeled in the knockout rounds by Bayern or not make it out of your group and then lose in the Europa League to Gent? :/
Now you know how Bayern felt during the week
As soon as I posted that comment I knew there would be a couple of smart arses with a snidy Bayern comment!
Just glad it was you two xxx
It was an open goal to be fair!
You saw the opportunity and took your chance init, I would expect nothing less mate 😉
I don’t mean it. I have no ill against Arsenal. Wenger is a living legend.
Init – I love the bloke it breaks my heart the way he is being treated! Don’t get me wrong I do think we need a change at the club but he should be treated with respect and admiration! He has gave his life to our club!
Yes his time is up. Just needs to happen with more respect than the ludidtes are showing him right now.
Mate, some of the shit I saw today broke my heart!! I’ve never seen so much division between our fans! Some of our fans are becoming an embarrassment to the club
Wait until Mito sees your comment
lol I know! He’s a fucker but I love him…. well most of the time
Evening Mitro
Alright my San!!
Geezwarrrr!!
I watched a bit of Arsenal Fan tv during the week. Jeez there are some pratts in this world. Was quite amusing mind you.
Use to watch it a few years ago! They are clowns
Was embarrassing mate!
Idiots the lot of them!!
