Live Match Chat Gameweek 31 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 31 FPL News: Time to get excited folks. Come on now, who doesn’t love a midweek FPL game-week?! 10 games, 2 days, bish bash bosh. No messing about. No waiting for Friday’s early KO (yep, remember them? They’re coming back to a screen near you soon…) and then having it all drag on until Monday evening. Midweek FPL gets the job done like Joe Pesci in a bar room. We start with 4 games games on Tuesday with the main FPL highlights probably being Heaton attempting to single-handedly thwart Stoke, Vardy attempting to Party against Sunderland, Watford wondering how to stop McAuley and Ibra finally being unleashed once more. Wednesday brings a quick conclusion with the Wenger banners being readied, ‘Boro in ‘not scoring shocker’, Big Sam furthering his England manager claims, Spurs beating the crap out of Swansea, Chelsea putting the title to bed and then finises with a Liverpool midfielder posting a huge score against Bournemouth. The only question being which one…
As ever, post your comments and enjoy the games. Together.

Fixture Tracker
The Tracker in full…
DGW34 IS ON THERE AS CONFIRMED BUT DGW37 IS VERY MUCH PROVISIONAL!
That’s our best guess as to how it will pan out and there is still Southampton vs Arsenal to be rearranged. That looks likely to be in GW35 or 36. The FPL site itself has said that they expect the remaining games to be confirmed on or around the 7th April.
Teams with DGW’s ahead… (with thanks to Rosco)

Hugely disappointed at this week’s score of 43(-4) with no BPS included.
Sanchez captain fail, Valencia rested and Snoddy playing only 45 minutes along with no Spurs and Liverpool attacking coverage. Another red arrow, my second in a row. Before that i had 9 straight green arrows!
jamesimmo
I’ve had two bad gameweeks too, it happens, hopefully it’s just bad luck catching up to us and not stale squads forming!
What move(s) are you contemplating for the weekend?
Eagle
James – I want a Spurs mid at any means necessary. Eriksen/Alli are punishing my rank by not having them. I need to raise funds for this move though with Siggy on the chopping block. I need to shave off £1.1 to do this move.
jamesimmo
Sounds a plan. Watford seem to be picking up, so I don’t expect a > 2-0 win, but probably still wise.
Perhaps an Alonso downgrade?
Eagle
James, you might be right. I think the funds have to come from downgrading a defender. Alonso no clean sheets lately so sort of justifies it but he always seems to have a goal threat. How about downgrading Walker to Davies to maintain Spurs defensive coverage to help fund the Alli move? Do you know if Davies will keep his place for long?
jamesimmo
That’s also a decent shout. Not sure about Rose… ask Cookie! 😉
constantine
56(-4) for me if the bonuses stay. I’ll take it. Sanchez Capt was a big mistake but was the best decision given the fixture. Need to plan for the next GW.
Wafflez
68 (-4) for me
constantine
Good score Wafflez..Sure green arrow for you
TheDreamers
wow – well done Wafflez
RedVT
Good day at the office, 72 (-4) if BPS stay as they are. Big move this week was swerving Sanchez and getting Alli(C) instead. Literally terrified through the whole Arsenal match though as it seemed like everyone in my ML brought Sanchez in and gave him the armband, and my H2H opponent too. Phew!
constantine
Red.. That’s some good scoring.cheers
inittowinit
Superb score Red! That’s what they call squeaky bum time at its finest.
Eagle
Well done Red. Nice score. Gutsy call but paid off very well.
Brookyboy
Great captain choice Red and great score too.Actually contemplating giving Alli the armband for Watford at home next gw !
RedVT
Thanks fellas, the Tottenham boys really came through for me at the end. Thought I had ballsed things up big time until they went nuts with those late goals.
KungFuKingCantona
Red that’s disgusting! 😛 I had Sanchez too and he did not make me proud! And barely on 45 points inlcuding BPS…sigh!! What an intence race for Top 4 this is getting for Lfc, Arsenal and United. It’s gonna be painful at the end!!
RedVT
The end of the Liverpool match was heartbreaking KungFu. Can’t believe how many points Liverpool have dropped that they should have picked up. Top 4 is going to be a battle for sure!!
TheDreamers
Congrats on your news Red. All the best mate
RedVT
Thanks Dreamers! We’re very excited. Plus, if all goes well I’ll be on paternity leave from work through the busy Christmas schedule so I can watch more matches.
TheDreamers
second – timing is usually “ok”. Think my wife ran over by about a week or so (should probably know..) but given she wont be on here anytime soon , I think I’m ok
Where are you (I know I should know). Get much paternity leave?
RedVT
Haha, I think you’re safe man! I’m in Burlington, VT. Home of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Senator Bernie Sanders, lol. We don’t get paid leave at my work, but I can use any CTO time that I’ve saved up, which I have plenty of after 15 years here. I think I took 5 or 6 weeks off for baby #1. Will probably do the same for this one.
Where’s home base for you?
TheDreamers
I’m in Ireland Red
RedVT
Ahh, yes. Now I remember Dreamers, I knew we’d talked about it before. Then I should probably clarify: VT is Vermont, it’s a little state (the 2nd smallest in the country) in the northeast of the US. Lots of mountains, snow, and skiing in the winter. Good hiking and swimming in the summer.
billisBob
Awesome call Red!
I know the feeling – went for Ali too!! He did us proud in the end!! hahaha
That’s a fab score!
RedVT
Nice call Bob, it was looking like an awful decision for most of the game though to be honest!!
Tekno-kun
All right, so it’s time to ditch Siggy I reckon. Who do people prefer between Sanchez and Hazard as his replacement?
Captain Kingpin
On current form Hazard but Sanchez has two doubles and has to come good soon.
I’d be tempted to look at Theo!
billisBob
Had Wally for a few weeks now – he’ll miss some chances for sure but with the positions he’s getting into, he may well outscore Sanchez. Sanchez is playing a little more back to goal and deep at the mo.
TheDreamers
no support for Ozil?
TheDreamers
or Eriksen.
Form over fixtures is what I keep learning (and ignoring my own advice)
Tekno-kun
Thanks guys, gut says Hazard over Sanchez. I like the idea of getting Walcott too, I have Lanzini whom I’m also looking to ship out soon.
Captain Kingpin
I’m looking to ship Lanzers as well. West Ham have dropped in form so could be best time to ditch.
Captain Kingpin
Actually ignore me. Lanzini has Swansea at home and has three double-digit hauls in his last three home games. Food for thought!!
RedVT
So when are we supposed to find out the schedule for the make up matches? Did I read by April 7th someplace? If so, we should know the landscape before this weekend’s deadline. That would be handy!
DMC
Red – The fpl site itself said they expected to be able to announce it by then.
And congrats on that huge score. At the rank you’re at that will prompt you very high up! Here’s to cheering for you!
RedVT
Thanks DMC, would be nice to know exactly when all the matches are happening even though we have a pretty good idea already. Appreciate the kind words, hope I can keep grinding it out for the next 7 game weeks!
inittowinit
7th was what they said. Some may start coming out tomorrow. It won’t be much different to what we guessed at on the Fixture Tracker though. Arsenal v Saints being the outlier. I’m keen to see that one nailed as it’s key to planning the WC really.
RedVT
Thanks init. Yeah, just want to see everything confirmed 100% so we can really start planning.
saloba11
dissapointing couple of game weeks only 56 points (-8) for gw31. Will still be 6 points ahead in ML but not wanting to panick and make rash decisions. Not planning on making any transfers this week and save it for next week to allow me to upgrade lukaku to either zlatan or kane should he be back. To do that id need to downgrade either lanzini or alonso. My team is below, would welcome any thoughts
jamesimmo
I say hold your transfer and then do both moves after next gameweek. Who to sell (and who to buy) might become more apparent after the weekend’s action: both Lanzini and Alonso have decent matches after all.
saloba11
Thanks James reluctant to sell despite a number of players being off form. its a difficult period where there are many games meaning more injuries and pkayers rested so think having 2 transfers for gw33 will hold me in good steam (hopefully)
