Gameweek 16 Matchday Thread

Fitz*

The League Cup final has already been moved back and the semi finals are only one leg now so I don't think that that game will be cancelled or awarded to the other team. That game can be played any time really.

I fancied a punt on Giroud but was .1 short of selling Wilson for him. Haul incoming.

Feck it anyways.

Will have at least one 0 pointer already with rotations and the City game cancelled. Almost impossible to get any momentum this season.

Still hopeful more martinez saves and hopefully Watkins does something.

Both teams have plenty of games already on their fixture list.

Fa set a precedent with Leyton Orient too

You were hardly expecting a clean sheet away to Chelsea?

Wasn't expecting one away to Arsenal either or 4 in a row.

Takes a lot of luck this season

Cartman78

How is Grealish looking today.....from a playing point of view I should add?

Could really do with a return of some sort...will probably be moving him on soon either way

ShaneU

Dave booked

There was a separate rule in for round 4s and earlier in the league cup where games would be awarded to the opposition if a game could not be fulfilled

This week is going very well from a ML perspective

Awaiting my own team getting decimated tomorrow

Exact same, eveyone ahead of me is having a full on disaster.

But this is FPL so anything is possible.

You still have the issue of where do you out the game. Not like there's a ton of free dates for either side and PL and Europe should be given priority tbf

The way this week is going there could be a lot of players who fancied a run in the Cup who won't even make the selection at the end of this game week.

El Ghazi (Cash)

Grealish assisting the assister.

BBC say Cash assist.

Cash assist

El Ghazi is on fire!

5 goals in his last 5 games.

Cypher_sounds

Happy to see that goal as a Zouma owner.

howareyakid

“Ain’t nobody
Like El Gazhi...”

5 in 5. Owned by 1.9%.

And no, I’m not one of them.

I see what you did there :pac:

Ben may score now.

El Ghazi coming for Pele's record

dahat

Grealish is becoming an issue but I know if i sell he will land a big haul.

ThunbergsAreGo

And the usual slow descent into mediocrity begins...

Come on Ben let's get another assist

Cash has the same haircut as grealish tbf

Yup Cash banked that assist.

I was never getting El Ghazi but this post has aged well :P

Does El Ghazi not play?

Brian201888 wrote: »

No El Ghazi won't start games and won't come on in many either, if Trezeguet was fit it's him and Traore for the right wing position and they always get subbed for the other.

Dave goal

VAR'd for offside

Sorry for being pedantic but it was the linesman that called offside, not VAR.

McGinn hits the bar.

howareyakid

Some strike from ‘Ginny’. Deserved a goal.

Martinez save point

Werner is going to need to score a goal, am own goal and get booked to secure his 2 points, tough ask with 20 mins left

extra gravy

Giroud booked and subbed

Fitz*

Kante, El Ghazi & Giroud all YC.


Werner & Havertz on
Giroud & Jorginho off

Werner and Havertz on

The linesman flag went up, but VAR checked it, so at what stage would you say the linesman calls it - if the linesman calls it - the whistle should go straight away and play stopped, but they wait and see what happens and the check it on VAR.

If for instance the ref blew before ball went in the net, and it turns out not to be offside, the goal wouldn't stand.

To me, the original on field call was offside. And it stayed that way, so the linesman call was final.

If the linesman had not called it and VAR overruled his decision and ruled out the goal, I would say that it was a VAR decision.

Cmon Watkins get the winner

Ramsey on and nearly scored

howareyakid

El Gazhi off, Ramsey on, and he nearly scored with his first touch.

Timo blazes over.
