Live Match Chat Game-week 38 – FPL Fantasy Premier League
Welcome to the final Live Match Chat of the season. Well there isn’t a whole lot left to play for in the league itself, unless Man City have a massive catastrophe and that’s not likely to happen is it. Is It? Surely not… There will doubtless be an awful lot left to play for in fantasy terms though as many managers look to seal victory in their mini-leagues or indeed salvage an unlikely win from an impossible situation. Whatever your scenario this week be sure to keep us updated on the drama as it unfolds. Today is unique in the PL calendar as all the games are played at 3pm for the only time in the season so expect break-neck updates and dreams both realised and shattered in seconds. This could be a stressful one!
FF247 would like to thank every single fantasy manager who has contributed to this thread throughout the season. We have thoroughly enjoyed your posts on your joys, your frustrations, your elation and your dismay. If you watched it unfold from afar then we thank you too and would encourage you to get involved. We won’t bite, we promise. Well some may, but hey that’s part of the fun….
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points and the mini-league dramas right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
Good luck for GW38 from all at FF247!

So, about 96 days until the EPL starts..

Argh! Lost my H2H final! Would have won had I not taken a hit for Sterling and just played Mata.
Tch. Sad.
Bench@BanterburyLeagues

Who the hell is Fraser Forster?
Kop Warrior
The Celtic keeper

I see, that’s why I haven’t heard of him. Thanks

England dont have a prayer, and doubt they will qualify from the group even. Fewif nay world class players, and blind jingoistic faith doesnt work for me.
long ago stopped crying over Englands underperformance, and ghave owned a Spaish nationla shirt for 15 yrs agao when my parents first emigrated and I started visitung regularly since then, fancy a S american side. Germany from Europe with an outside bet on Belgium.
Wont see England win a WC in my lifetime thats for sure…
NIN
Why he’s bringing United players i’ll never know, to an extent i can understand bringing Rooney, but the rest? nah.
Kop Warrior
You can only understand Rooney to an extent?
NIN
Yep, just like United, i think England are better off without him.
Kop Warrior
Nah, I don’t buy that.
NIN
I think he upsets everything mate, especially formation. He’s too much of a whiny s***ebag to just do the job he’s told to do, for the good of the team. I think England have a genuine chance of winning the whole thing this year, but not playing 4-4-2 with him up front.
Kop Warrior
Winning it? Sit down & take some deep breaths mate
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
Hahaha!! You have lost your marbles ol’ boy. :hippo: NiN your time away from us did some real damage. Don’t worry though we will rehabilitate you and bring back the old NiN back. The way, way, way less optimistic one.
NIN
Hahaha, Mito, for the last time, i’m f**king Irish!!! Hahahah. Jokes aside, i genuinely think they can win it, but they wont, not even close.
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
Ohhh, why didn’t you say so. :beer: that would explain your optimism about England.
NIN
Hahaha, you’re a pox Mito haha, in a good way of course!!
Calvin Clyne
Rooney is our best striker by a mile!
Milk and Busquets
At least I can now get to writing my fantasy article about the world cup. Problem is the players who I think should play and who Roy ‘odgson thinks should play are different.
I mean I like the idea of Sterling, Barkley, Lallana and Gerrard in the midfield.. Roy likes Fat Frank, Injured Wilshere, Bench Milner and Gerrard!
Kop Warrior
Milky – Did I send you the template for the format?
Milk and Busquets
You did indeed, if its the same one that you did on England with Rooney?
Kop Warrior
That’s the one mate.
Milk and Busquets
Awesome. I assume we are all waiting on squad announcements before we start write ups?
Kop Warrior
I’d imagine so, but the majority of squads should be announced this week.
Milk and Busquets
Someone needs to tell Roy Hodgson I’m picking his team, otherwise he’ll make a fool of himself (again) and England won’t make it part the quarters (again)
Kop Warrior
Milky – Is that a good idea? I’ve seen some of the teams you’ve picked this season?
Tekno-kun (The 69er, Winner of Potty's 1st ever Twitter Comp; twice CL Comp winner, current profession: big bad dawg; hallway monitor, formerly: tranny; wannabe Nazi commander)
I think the preliminary USMNT squad will be announced today (or tonight) as well. If I’ve understood it correctly the players picked can play in Wednesday’s MLS matches but will then travel to the pre-WC camp.
NIN
Yeah Tekno. I heard that too.
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
Besler and Zusi will play Wednesday. There is only one game Wednesday so probably only those two.

Hi guys
Thanks for your advise for the last GW. I didn’t take any hit & ended up winning the ML with 20+ pts! very happy with that. Thank you all
