FPL 2021/2022 Preseason, European Cups, Domestic Cups and Internationals

GetWithIt

Was there anything to be taken from the Charity Shield today?

Ihaenacho on the bench. Barnes coming off. Both looking rotation risks or getting subbed early.

Amartey (4.0) starting.

Father Hernandez

Chelsea line up this evening.

Mendy

Chalobah - Zouma - Rudiger

CHO - Kante Ⓒ - Kovacic - Alonso

Ziyech - Havertz

Werner

Not sure what to make of that with Rudiger in my team for the weekend..

Father Hernandez

Ziyech (Havertz)

1-0 Chelsea.

Ace2007

Spurs lose 1-0 - wonder does that mean a stronger team next Thursday.

Sorry if this isn't the correct thread.

Note they still might make an allowance for these players because they are meant to be sticking to their own bubble or whatever they call it

Swaine

Assist for Brandon Willams for Norwich's 2nd goal in EFL Cup.

wonski

Arsenal leading by 3 against West Brom reserves.

Auba 2 goals and an assist.

Ace2007

Auba hatrick - Checks to see Arsenal's fixtures and price, hmm

Ace2007

Elyounoussi who I've never heard of but plays for Southampton got a hattrick and 2 assists. The lad is 27 - so not a kid - surely that performance (albeit against Newport County), might get him some game time in the league.

KWP got a goal and assist - so if Livramento is taking his spot, this main be cause for concern over next few GW's, as Southampton had a relatively strong side.

Ye uniteds looks lot more like a Europa league draw

Europa draw:

GetWithIt

Ronaldo not doing his chances of Utd penalty taker any good.

Muahahaha

Antonio makes his debut for Jamaica v Panama tonight

Xander10

Ronaldo (Bruno)

Might see a bit more of that in the PL

Trent (Salah) Trent scoring like he's a forward.

Salah missed a penalty.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117896638#Comment_117896638

Changed to an OG.

TAA is so far forward.

At least thats Salahs penalty miss out of the way.....

shmeee

City go 2 up.

Ake (Grealish)

And an OG. (KDB)

Man City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Torres, Mahrez.

Benimar

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117896638#Comment_117896638

Changed to OG (TAA).

Imagine the meltdown if that happened in the PL!

shmeee

Liverpool concede 2 goals before half time after total domination for the first 35/40 mins.

Jota seems quiet.

TAA playing well, getting into excellent positions.

dsmythy

The missed penalty too. Many tears be shed.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117896915#Comment_117896915

Salah makes up for it by scoring Liverpool's 2nd.

Mane now on.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117896660#Comment_117896660

City 4

RB 2

Mahrez penalty for the 3rd

Grealish with the 4th

Many would like to see some Torres involvement..... I've a feeling he may be rested now weekend. Rodri and BSilva taken off at 60th min.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117897015#Comment_117897015

Hahaha and just as I said it....

Torres gets the 5th!

*Edit... Var-ed offside

Cartman78

Antonio starts for West Ham, Benrahma and Coufal benched

Leicester seem to be playing a 4-4-2 with 2 strikers alternating dropping into the hole. Barnes missed from 6 yards out but th signs he is getting in to positions. Perez is lively.

Fitz*

And Perez has just scored. Barnes assist.

DuhJerk

How's Daka doing? Heard he's fairly highly rated, was surprised he went to Leicester

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117901452#Comment_117901452

Was only able to watch 30 odd mins but he was involved in the build up in the first goal.

F1ngers

5 all prem ties in next round.

ArmaniJeanss

Leicester won 4-3 in Moscow. The new lad Patson Daka scored all 4, with assists from Tielemans, Maddison and Nacho(2). Vardy unused sub.

extra gravy

Lukaku subbed off with an ankle injury

GetWithIt

Interesting lineups for the Caraboa Cup.

ESR and White start and are the only 2 from the weekend to retain their places. I think that means they’re undroppable rather than won’t play next GW. Guaranteed injuries though.

Alonso starts in a back 4 and gets the captaincy. Havertz starts up front. James on the right. Perhaps he needs the games, but it would put me off.

shmeee

Of course the only player to not return on Saturday in that 7-0 thumbing has just scored for Chelsea.....

Ah ya!!! FPL gods are looking down on all of us who had the band on Havertz.

Would you have taken Chelsea conceding as well?

c.p.w.g.w

What's the story with the following...

Asian & South American World Cup Qualifier's

AFCON

I understand that most AFCON related players will miss GW 22,23 & 24(potentially)

But what's the story with players in Asia & South American with their qualifiers?

F1ngers

AFCON 2022. 9/1 - 6/2

This is how I see it, apologies if I've made a mistake - double check for yourselves.

All players will miss GW22.

Group stages finish 17th-20th.

Anyone finishing on the 17th/18th would possibly be available to play GW23(21st-23rd), anyone finishing 19th/20th will more than likely miss it, some may play 23rd.

Round of 16/quarters(23rd-30th) through to semis(2nd/3rd Feb.) will see players back for GW24.

Final is 6th Feb.

GW24 starts 8th Feb.

Anyone playing in the final on the 6th whose team are playing on the 8th/9th will most likely miss GW24.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Wolves and Leicester play the 10th - slim chance their players will be available for GW24 if any of their players make the final.

Some of you probably noticed Chelsea is leading 2-0 against Spurs in efl Cup.

Tottenham with 0 shots in first half. Not a single shot.

Not a good watch as a Son and Kane owner.

Spurs are woeful. Lukaku looks like he ate too much Christmas pudding and Werner is still learning the offside rule.

I won't be rushing to sign any of the above

Cartman78

Bilva goal (Palmer)....City with a very strong team out, could run up a huge score here if they're halfway bothered
