Live Match Chat Gameweek 34 FPL News
Welcome to Live Match Chat Gameweek 34 FPL News: The frantic planning is now over and it’s time to sit back and hope that your double game-week players all see the pitch twice or indeed to hope that your single ones don’t come a cropper in the FA Cup before they get their FPL chance to shine in midweek. GW34 is fraught with danger whichever way you look at it but on the bright side there’s football aplenty this week! The gameweek begins late this week as we have four 3pm kick offs on Saturday and it’s basement battle time as 7 of the 8 featured teams could still technically be relegated. With no evening game Saturday will be over in the flash of an eye and then Sunday sees 2 of this weeks 3 DGW teams begin their quest as Man Utd go to Burnley in the early one before Palace visit Anfield in the later game. We then have a breather for a day before Chelsea and Southampton get us back under way on Tuesday night. Wednesday sees another three games before we finally conclude on Thursday evening with the Manchester derby.

How’s this for a first stab WC? Jesus is a massive punt, big could easily be switch to Defoe, Deeney or Rondon if he’s not playing. Any glaring mistakes or missed opportunities? Please done suggest anyone from that team on the south coast, as I won’t consider any of them. Thanks.
This was the team before I saw Mitro’s defence 😉
Hey Banjo
I like this team
When is EL semi and final? Concern re Rashford gametime.
4th & 11th are the semis, with the final on the 24th. His gametime would be a big concern.
I like this team a lot
My main concern is Jesus. Do you reckon he’ll get back in the team?
Yeah I do. It is Pep though. He has always played when fit. I think they will try and fit Aguero, Jesus and Sane in together
Is this a slightly safer all round defence then? The main risk is obviously Jesus, but perhaps Rashford to some extent too?
You really want Rashford in a WC team after what’s just happened this GW? Man Utd’s potential for rotation just looks impossible to predict at this stage so I’d just avoid it altogether, I also wouldn’t be punting on Jesus either until I’ve at least seen him play.
I don’t ‘really want’ him. I just do very much want the others and he’ll be great value if he plays! Any safer suggestions?
I’d prefer Lukaku with Anichebe in a 3-5-2 (Anichebe can come in for the BB), however that means finding extra funds in upgrading Capoue as I wouldn’t be confident in using him as a fifth mid.
In order to do that I’d need to do something like this, which would give me a couple less DGW players. What d’ya reckon?
If you’ve got .1 in change you could
Luiz – Vertonghen
Foster – Cech
For an additional Arsenal player ahead of DGW 36.
As it happens I have exactly 0.1 in change!
I think that’s a little better than above but it’d be a little easier if you’d just let people say Gabbiadini in for Rashford
I know!!! It’s bloody annoying when there’s clearly sensible options in that lot! Thanks for your help.
Evening all !
Newcastle will play PL football again next year…
Who do you think will go down this year?
p.s. besides SUN off course…
Boro
Many congrats to our Newcastle contingent! Think it’s possibly just Milburn and Rosco from memory?
Boro for sure…
I’m afraid Siggy and the bunch might be the 3rd candidate, though…
2 tough games ahead and Hull might create a solid margin and break away…
How Hull have recovered from that nine man team photo last summer I’ll never know but it looks like they could just about do it so Boro and the Swans to go for me.
Yes!!!! Cracking open the bubbly right now!!
West Ham are going down!!! Pleeeease
Hey guys. My ml is getting away from me. I’m after slipping to third place now after leading all season. I’m tempted to use my wc this week and this would also set me up for the bb in 37. It would mean losing kun kaku and negredo for the three below. What’s the thinking? Thanks as always.
Without me having to count them all off how many DGW37 players does that give you please man u? Benalouane may be risky as he’s only deputising for Morgan. He’s slated as being back on the 6th.
Hey Initt, how’s life? Yeah that gives me 13 including Benalouane, that’s if they’re all picked.
Good thank you, yourself? Away with work again this week though which I hate this time of year as it gets in the way of FPL planning!
In my mind right now I’m going into 37 with a full 15 of DGW’ers but I haven’t actually looked at it properly yet. If you have and you feel that say 13 is sufficient then that’s fine. One of my main reasons for doing it the exact week before would be to cut down on the possibility of losing anyone in the week in between. That’s the main risk you are taking I think. Other than perhaps not having some players who you should maybe have for 35 as a result of going early.
I’m just afraid of losing ground as a result of only having one Spurs player.Also I think Coutinho may be worth holding on to even though he’s not on a double gameweek. And surely Costa will turn his form around with Chelsea’s upcoming fixtures.Holgate is my other non dgw player, but for his price I don’t think I’ll do any better. I’d love to hold Kun but I suppose we can’t have them all.
Yep. 15 all the way. No point on going with less unless it’s for someone like Lukaku vs Watford but, then again, for that price surely one would prefer another striker or a Gabbi-Sanchez combo of some sort. We need that money!! If it’s for low key players, no point.
I’ve taken a fair bit and it doens’t look good in terms of having many big guns. In fact, it seems we may need a few Ndongs or Manquillos in there to acomodate the other. Oddly, only Kane stands out as a must have in the forwards spots. Unless we hear (see) kun is out and jesus is in.
Jesus is a perfect example of why I think waiting as long as possible is preferable. The landscape can change so much over 2 weeks.
Yeah I may just wait for one more week so. Thanks guys.
if u are desperate to make a last boost for catching the leader, just wildcard
but please aware on, DGW on 36 (soton and arsenal) and big DGW on 37 and hopefully the team will have at least >12 players for big DGW
1. GK – seems ok for me. (or maybe cech over foster)
2. Try put, yoshida and take a look for holding (arsenal)- dgw 36. Kompany to clichy
3. Mf – maybe king and alli if can
4. Could u take vardy over costa. and please take a close look on jesus (city) gametime.
Cheers bud.
FUCKING GET IN!!! See yous next season lads!!!
Get in my son!!!
Over the moon mate. Gayle Ritchie and shelvey in my FF team next season 😉
Excellent well done lads!!
That’s another 6pts in the bank, Jose 😉
Anyone but Shelvey, pls 😉
congratz rosco and milburn
Congratulations. I might take Ritchie or Gayle myself. Liked them both at their previous clubs.
You’re probably not wrong there Cookie! Still buzzing though!!
As well you should be! Must be sweeter waving at your nearest & dearest on the way up
I think they spend far more time thinking about our team than they do their own! Strange bunch over there! Any who I shall be sure to give them a polite hand gesture as we pass one another between the leagues!
We are premier league say we are premier league!!! Wahooooooooooooooo
Congrats lads! Now bring us the next Papiss please!
Cheers DMC mate. I’m sure Rafa has a few in mind just depends if he gets the backing.
Big congrats both of you! Either of you go?
Thanks Init. I couldn’t make it tonight which was a shame, cracking atmosphere and result. It’s been a rollercoaster season but there’s been a lot more highs than lows.
Roll on defeats and misery next season! Hooorahhh
Nah you’ll alright I think. Not as if you’re coming into it with a novice manager as some do. He’s your main asset.
Maybe not. Rafa will keep you in. It’s Ashley that should worry you.
Yeah not long been back! Could have stayed out all night… wife and work would have not been happy though!!
Newcastle with their rich history belongs in the premier league
Cheers Chris, let’s just hope we can keep Rafa and actually get some decent players in! That said it’s almost easier when we don’t, as I then don’t have to worry about my heart ruling my head in FPL!
In Rafa we trust. Remember that mate through thick and thin and you won’t go far wrong.Top manager who stuck by you when relegated and brought you up to the promised land. Make sure the dopey chairman backs him and you guys should fly.
That’s from a scouser and we aint much different!
Cheers everyone, such a canny bunch of lads on here !!!
Second this from my fellow geordie!! Milburn we need to set up a head to head next season!!
I look forward to your Newcastle article detailing the Newcastle squad once FPL 17/18 is launched
Reckon between the two of us we can pull together a bunch of facts and figures!! It’ll be interesting to see who we bring in, the most important thing though…and the most tricky is keeping Rafa..over to you Mike…
Surely you’ll hang onto him? You managed to keep him after relegation…
Any idea how much Ashley will spend? Ye can have Sturridge on the cheap 😉
Haha I do like Sturridge but he’s too injury prone and doesn’t seem to be able to string a set of games together. Isn’t it usually you guys paying over the odds for our players!? I’d do a winking emoji here if I knew how to do it!!
Only if they play for Southampton 😉
He stayed on the basis of having full control of all football matters. It was very obvious in January that he wanted to strengthen the squad and assumed he could do this…and then we signed nobody and a few comments came out that indicated he wasn’t happy. Ashley has done this in the past (to our detriment) where if the squad is performing well he will not spend in January.
I think this has lead to a lot of resentment (understandably) form Benitez and thats why he’s reluctant to commit to next season.
I think he will need some assurances that money will be given to him if he asks, I just hope its not went past that point.
Hopefully he stays. I’ve a hot of time for Rafa. Not only because he won us the CL but he’s a genuinely decent bloke.
Yeah we love him up here, best thing thats happened to our club since we got rid of Chris Houghton in my opinion.
We used to be a team people liked, but so many bad things have happened (a lot of them from Ashley) and its turned us into a bit of a joke club from outsiders looking in.
The fans have been labelled as fickle and somehow the media have created an image of the Newcastle fan who presumes we deserve this and that. In truth nothing could be further from the truth, all we’ve wanted is a good manager who is given all the tools he can to be successful and a team on the pitch who wants to play for us and tries hard. Obviously every fan wants their team to be successful but after years of nothing we’re realists up here!
We got a lot of stick over the Pardew era and got called worse than muck for supposedly hounding him out with cries of ‘he’s a great manager, look how he’s doing at Palace’ ..we all know how that turned out!
Rafa is a gent and truly lovely man from everything I’ve seen, I love him to bits!
I have a lot of time for your manager too, totally different character but he has real class and seems very likeable not to mention bloody good at his job to boot!
