GW 34 matchday thread

Today was more anticlimactic than the Line Of Duty final

69 with Wood and Lingard to go. Veltman 6 to come in if there's a riot or something.

Absolutely buzzing (sorry to those with a bad week). Was sitting in 4th in my ML, 82 points behind the leader going into GW29. Am 12 points ahead of second tonight. VVHEWT

Take a bow ....well done - given the cluster-f*ck of a game week that is a massive score.

Unconfirmed report that the like the Liverpool - Man Utd game will be the day after the FA Cup final - Sunday 16th May (GW36)

LFC should’ve been away to WBA that day but this will be brought forward to Wed 12th May (which would be DGW35)

In which case United wouldn't have a blank in 36, so both teams would have a DGW and game in 36?

time to load up on WC

This stuff is defo bad for people with the FH/WC left.

Yeah. I was thinking that earlier. Not only has this postponement screwed up this gameweek, it has also significantly devalued my wildcard which I thought I was being clever holding on to for the final 4 weeks.

Where did you see this? Had posted in here that this was the most likely outcome but happy to see it actually happen.

Chatter on a LFC fan site.

As someone with only Bruno/Salah this GW, the game rearranged that sees Pool and United have DGW with no blank, and chance to load up with no real downside.

Yeah, for me it is a mixed bag, I'd 3 Liverpool and 2 United but at least with Traore on the bench with 5 points I can live with that.


As mentioned a few posts back, with that cup final looking in my favour, I'd basically be happier now to have the game stay off and accept what would probably be a small rank hit to take the H2H cash.

73 with lingard and Coady to go

21 from 4 with 4 to play Kane captain fail

22 with 2 to play. Somehow only down to 3k overall

Mother of God

Why didn't they rearrange for today?

I'd say the PL, TV companies & sponsors wanting the game to be played during the prime time TV slot of Sunday 16.30 is a big contributing factor.

What do ye reckon the average number of players being fielded this week by the top 10k? Somewhere between 9 and 10? Good lot about with only 8/9 playing, not they many seem to have a full 11.

I lost 5 players in that match, have 3 ok subs so will field 9, more annoying is I was so we'll set up for 8dgw players and still able field 11 the following week. think that will hit those who planned well and those who planned a chip strategy

So frustrating that Liverpool will have a dgw in 35 and Utd wont blank in 36. I felt I had a big advantage with FH in 35 and only having 3 players with a blank in 36. Things have got much easier for those without a chip.

I don't see how both these things could happen? Liverpool having a double and United not blanking 36? Would it not be one or the other?
