Reckon it depends on how many transfers you have left because Liverpool have a good run-in and may come good. Things aren’t happy at Spurs at the mo and a sulking Mourinho could easily react like a petulant child and limit Bales time

I’ve got 12 so I think I have enough. I’m chasing a big lead in my mini league so looking to do something different. I’m edging towards Abamayang and I can bring Salah back in when Liverpool’s games get better.

You're probably already aware, but if you do go that way, just a reminder you'd have to transfer him in by 1.30, so you won't get to see the line-up.

Yeah thought of that and there are no guarantees that he will be back in.

Chelsea v Sheffield United (13:30 GMT)
WHam v Arsenal (3pm)

Chelsea make five changes from the side that began the 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday as the Blues moved into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Mason Mount and Jorginho, who were both suspended for that game, return to the starting line-up, as do Andreas Christensen, Ben Chilwell and Christian Pulisic.

Chelsea: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Pulisic, Mount, Ziyech, Havertz.
Subs: Arrizabalaga, James, Alonso, Emerson, Kovacic, Zouma, Werner, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi.

Paul WhotheHeckingbottomareyou, in his second game in caretaker charge of Sheffield United, also changes five of the personnel that began the 5-0 hammering by Leicester a week ago. David McGoldrick returns after a knee injury, while there are also starts for Ben Osborn, Phil Jagielka, Jayden Bogle and Oliver McBurnie.

Sheffield United: Ramsdale, Osborn, Jagielka, Stevens, Baldock, Bogle, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, McGoldrick, McBurnie.
Subs: Foderingham, Lowe, Gordon, Burke, Brunt, Ndiaye, Bryan, Mousset, Brewster.

WHam - no idea of team news and overlapping flange so transfer now
Arsenal - no idea of team news and overlapping flange so transfer now

That Chelsea lineup was incorrectly tweeted apparently. This may be the right one.

Post by **happyhoppy** » 21 Mar 2021, 13:10

That’s ridiculous. Just brought Havertz in a team!

Post by **Canaryfan** » 21 Mar 2021, 13:10

So having started at "No Werner, but at least Mendy is playing" I'm now at "Poo".

What the...?! Saw line-up, transferred in Mendy. 10 mins later, no Mendy!

In many years of TFF, that’s a first for me!

Post by **Spinynorman** » 21 Mar 2021, 13:13

Mendy and Azpi in today.

Pretty shocking. I was Very close to a Fantasy Football error and now have a couple of grim football bets (anytime scorer Havertz).

I almost did - luckily swapped to Mount due to higher likelihood of playing next game..... Phew!

Well that Chelsea news is annoying. It's end of the TFF month today and my work league has a monthly prize which I have a chance of winning so I used a precious transfer to bring in a Chelsea defender based on the first team news. Typically they are not in the actual team.

Apologies to any who got wrong team news from here. It was all just copy/pasted from BBC so not a dodgy source.

1-0 Norwood (og, Chilwell)

Very slim chance that will be awarded to Chilwell as didn't seem to be that wide, maybe even towards post.

Always a good idea to check before making changes - although today we may well have seen the same line-up.....?!!

Chilly with 3 points in TFF - at present...

First port of call was quick check at 1230 on Chelsea Twitter, then once Flash Score had the line ups I used that at about 1250. Did not look on here til after kick off.

I think team news is released early to all sites to give them time to prepare announcements but they are not allowed to issue it until 1 hour before.

Must share the same dodgy root source.

WH 2-0 ARS

Lingard (Antonio)
Bowen (Lingard)

3-0 Soucek (Antonio)

3-1 Soucek og (Lacazette)

Post by **Canaryfan** » 21 Mar 2021, 16:10

Bruno benched and Rashford nowhere to be seen. Hoping that Man U's Twitter is wrong and that these two will start in the correct team.

The Son to Rashford transfer is going frightfully well so far for the 1 point earned. If Son starts today I might just cry.

Yes I’m on that in my team that was 10th

Yip, this. Everywhere had it wrong. I reckon it must have been wrong for 15 mins before corrected which will have caught a lot out.

3-3 Lacazette (Pepe)

Post by **Jester** » 21 Mar 2021, 16:52

Bruno was coming back to my Egg Cup team today as everyone else has him and I don't need to be different.....
Torn now - feels wrong to bring in a benched player but I just know he'll come on when we're two down and score a hatrick!!
Who's this new bloke in the middle - scored in midweek...?!!

Post by **LenH** » 21 Mar 2021, 16:55

I'm currently resisting the urge to put Iheanacho in as my 2nd place has him and scaring me.

The fantasy football gods couldn’t let you poke fate in the eye like this and get away with it. All your fault LenH!

Post by **LenH** » 21 Mar 2021, 17:49

Wasn't it just...

...I put him in.
