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.

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)

United are complete shite. Is that the team spending the most money? WOW!
Yeah I wasn’t impressed with them at all Raz. Seriously lacking ideas throughout the game. Their crossing was abysmal too. Which is kind of key if your plan is to hit Ibra in the box.
The offside goal looked on to me though. Possibly just a biased Ibra owner though?! Never mind, we got there in the end….
A lot of those United players just ain’t good enough. How Lingard gets a game I really don’t know
Surely you just play Miki?
Under LvG him and Rashford actually looked good.
He don’t seem to know where to play Miki. He’s drained the confidence out of Rashford and Martial. Not sure what’s happened to Rooney. Mata plays well and then is dropped though know he’s injured now. And they don’t seem to know where to play Pogba.
Pogba is overvalued. Rather have 3 or 4 good players for that money than 1 him. That’s now how you spend money.
Hehe, Init. Wasn’t watching the game. Just really annoyed Baines lost his CS in the dying seconds. What happens to the points of Williams? Red card means he also loses his cs? Plus the -2? So he scored a goal and ummm? Im curious.
Yeah red card means you are still culpable for all goals conceded after it. If a red is -2 then I reckon he gets +3 in total (assist).
Red card is -3 unity. He gets 2 points for tonight’s game
*initt..haha.
Averages and stuff….
29 with Sanchez, Coutinho, Alli, Siggy, Costa & Stones to go. Largely thanks to Leicester. Moving in for Vardy and Huth a few weeks back has certainly paid off.
31 here. Lloris, Luiz, Zaha, King, Alli and Costa left.
Officially top of my ML tonight finally as well! Thanks to Vardy Party
Ditto! I’m back on top of mine too… although my main rival has wilshere still to play 😉
I think you’re playing against my kids
Was on 23pts before Ashley’s wonder-save !!
Now on 13pts(-4pts hit) from 4 …
Hoping Coutinho will save my GW tomorrow !!
Bit the bullet and got Vardy Walcott and Sane in for a -4 hit can anyone recommend a good defender for me for 4.1 or 4.2 cost for my bench?
Before Williams got sent off I definitely would’ve said Holgate, but Everton may struggle now with their defense decimated.
Ended up getting both
Stephens this time and Holgate for my free transfer
That’ll free up some funds!
Stephens (So’ton)…
Fits perfectly…
Yeah I’ll pick him up thanks mate
I’m confused! Why are you picking up a bench player for another hit? You’ve confirmed the above transfers already. If you hadn’t you wouldn’t be able to see that screen. The transfer proposals would be in yellow boxes still.
You bought Vardy, Walcott, Sane, Stephens and Holgate!!? And in the middle of a GW! This is bonkers even by your standards Waxys! Ha ha
What’s more worrying is you’ve bought players for your bench too!! It’s like a whole new Waxys.. well aside from the multiple transfers before 60% of the game week has been played!
Your team looks good though! You getting close to top 10k?
No no I had thosecplauers before this week I just bought in Vardy and Stephens. Only Stephen for a bench player as he’s gong up in price and I want holgate as an emergency reserve to finalise my team
Ah right that’s not so bad! It’s good that you’re working on your bench with so much rotation and injuries you’ll need players who can come in from your bench as and when. I would try to be a little more trigger happy though and wait for a GW to finish before making moves as you’ll kick yourself if Stephens then picks up a knock or a sending off tomorrow, hopefully you’ll be ok though!
Less trigger happy not more was meant to say! Haha def not more!
Haha thanks for the advice Rosko it’s not my fault EPL price rises are crazy this year tho 😉 I’m in such a budget that even a 0.1 rise erodes my plans
Waxys
It is actually your fault (or at least your partly at fault). If people weren’t transferring players in early in the week, especially mid-gameweek, then the transfer market would be far more secure and price rises/falls wouldn’t affect us as much..
You’ve taken a -4 and there’s still 6 games tomorrow night? Where’s the logic in that?
Well Kop he’s going up any moment and if Stephen goes up I won’t e able to afford a second playing bench player. The current state of the season I need two playing bench players.
I thought you had 4.2 to spend? Stephens is only 4.0 and won’t rise before tonight’s games anyway. Sounds risky to me, but good luck!
Yeah Banjo only have 4.1. Coleman is out for the season so holgate will be a risk. I understand what you mean by rushing things but Stephens isn’t a striker or anything he’s a defender injuries are less common I don’t think anything will happen.
I admire your balls (that sounds a bit weird reading it back!). I would wish you all the best, but I do take pleasure from scummers picking up injuries 😉
What’s people’s thoughts on Ibra? Is he essential for DGW34? I think my plan is to ditch Costa for him, but not sure when. Could do it now before Sunderland away, but then Chelsea have Bournemouth next. Then it’s Chelsea at Old Trafford?! Is Ibra a rotation risk, with United’s season resting on the UEFA Cup?
United are out of the top 4 race. Don’t see him playing those 2 games. Shit, I sort of feel annoyed I got Valencia because I know he won’t.
Yea that’s my concern Raz. Are you avoiding Ibra now then?
I’ll probably get him since he will play 1 game, at least. But I’m a bit annoyed. Dangerous gameweek.
Jose said he’d see how the next two league games went and if it wasn’t likely to end in a top 4 spot that he’d rotate accordingly with the Europa taking priority.
His first season at United has been a complete disaster if you ask me. And it’s not like they haven’t brought in worldclass players. They completed upgraded the team and didn’t have half the amount of injuries they had last season.
They bought the best player from the Italian league, one of the best from the German and they got the best from the French. How … is beyond me.
It’s the rest of the team that is below par imo. I don’t think the after Real Madrid Jose fits very well for Utd’s mentality but he hasn’t done that bad. If you compare this team to that of Chelsea, City and even Arsenal you must accept they are not supposed to be much higher. That being said I think Poch and Klopp work wonders with what they have in their hands. Jose’s second seasons are always better and if they to get CL next year we’ll see a much improved side imo.
Raz
It can’t be a complete disaster if he has won two trophies and is a big favourite for a third and CL qualification.
I agree he has made some mistakes (Schweinsteiger was dreadful management and he admitted so) but it will take more than one season to sort out the problems of the past couple of years.
Just been checking out the dates, and the DGW comes after the UEFA Cup, and well before any semi final, so there’s a chance he’ll feature. I think moving for him prior to then is more risky, as if Jose wants him rested it’ll be for GW33, although that is against Chelsea! It all seems a little risky.
OOoh, nice Banjo. But would he really want to rest his best player against his former team?
Banjo – just to add that the Europa semi final is actually one week after dgw34’s second game.
Yea that’s where my thought processes were. The obvious time to rest him would be against Chelsea, but you know Jose will want that one!!!
I reckon a week after the game is more than enough time to rest, without needing to drop him.
22 from these three with 8 to play tomorrow. Was panicking before Vardy scored…
Well done mate. Good cappo choice.
Bloody disrespectful display by Leicester towards their previous manager whom helped them win the EPL. I still can’t believe you play from absolute shite to this. They were never trying.
I’m talking about their players. Vardy in a leading role.
There’s a conspiracy that Shakespeare was behind their success last season. Seems a bit fishy to me
I agree Raz
I can’t have any respect for them now and I hope Atletico take them to the cleaners in the CL.
That said, Ranieri should have managed it better this season and reverted to and then persevered with the flat 4-4-2 which Shakespeare now has. I think Shakespeare has stripped it right back to basics. Ranieri could have done that. He also had a couple foo dodgy buys in the summer.
