Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 18 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15
GW18 is live! We hope you were happy with your Christmas presents and that the turkey and trimmings went down well but that’s all over now and so back to the serious business of fantasy football! Hopefully your transfers, line-ups and your all important captain selection are all sorted and you didn’t over indulge in the festive period and do anything daft like take a huge hit or indeed just forget altogether! Live Match Chat is your chance to have your say on the line-ups as they are announced, the games as they happen and the fallout afterwards. Boxing Day is indeed a bumper day with all 20 teams playing so no sooner has it begun than it will end and is unique in the season in that respect. We think. Couldn’t be bothered to check! We begin with an early game as Chelsea welcome West Ham. There are then a hectic eight games at 3pm before Arsenal and QPR see us out in the early evening.
The Boxing Day bonanza in full…
Chelsea v West Ham 12.45pm
Burnley v Liverpool 3pm
Crystal Palace v Southampton 3pm
Everton v Stoke 3pm
Leicester v Spurs 3pm
Man Utd v Newcastle 3pm
Sunderland v Hull 3pm
Swansea v Aston Villa 3pm
West Brom v Man City 3pm
Arsenal v QPR 5.45pm
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, 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 to absolutely everyone for GW18 from all at FF247!

Giroud and siggy to Kane and silva
Or
Giroud and yaya to benteke and silva
Thoughts anyone?
jamesimmo
Second one for me. Kane has shite fixtures.
That said, having Yaya AND Silva could pay off huge, tough one.
hammers
Yeah, quite like the idea of both of the city boys, could always bench Kane and go 3-5-2 but benteke has quite good fixtures
jamesimmo
I’d take the punt on Tekkers.
hammers
Cheers James
hammers
Just a thought – could drop baines down to someone like Evans at 5.2 then swap siggy to silva and still do giroud to benteke. Thus having the 2 city boys
Would cost me a -4 though.
TheDreamers
2nd one. Yaya off soon. Kane has poor fixtures.
hammers
Heard he did nothing today apart from the pen too
jasprit
second for me too hammers.
Raziel
88 points today. Risen 1500 places to 2090. Quite happy. Baines is doing my head in. Still, I might keep him for the next game.
This is my team. There are a few transfers on my mind, I just have 1 FT though and 1.7m in the bank. Was thinking:
1. Pants to Hart
2. Pants to Hart and Bony to Benteke/Jovetic (depending) for a -4
3. Siggy to Sterling
4. Siggy to Sterling and Bony to Benteke/Jovetic (depending) for a -4
Raziel
Wait, scrap three. 0.2m short to do SIggy to Sterling. >.< Four is possible though.
jamesimmo
Siggy and Bony is overkill I reckon. So not #1 for me. Also #3 ain’t posisble as you say, so that’s two options out.
Can’t you keep Pants and just do Bony —–> Tekkers for free?
Raziel
I can.
hammers
I’m thinking of benteke too. So would say 2. Whats the news on jovetic?
Raziel
He’ll be ok for the next game. Hmmm, don'[t think Pellegrini has to risk the dude though since the team is functioning really well without him. ANyway, MOTD starts. See ya later.
Raziel
Also a possibility is (if Kompany returns for the next game), Bony to Rooney and Baines to Kompany for a 4 point hit. >.<
Partisan
Raz,
I’d go Baines out for Mangala (guaranteed to start, saves you using a transfer on a goalkeeper instead of ditching Baines, and you can always switch to Hart with wc)
and then Bony to Tekkers or, Rooney/Falcao
jasprit
raz, I would lose baines if I were you and upgrade bony.
but out of the options you offer – get in hart first.
he will get at least 4 clean sheets in the next 6 gameweeks
jamesimmo
I wildcarded 5 gameweeks ago. My team value just before was 104.9m.
Since then, after all that time, it’s still not re-grown to that amount. Concerning?
Raziel
NO!
jamesimmo
I can now sleep once more.
Raziel
Hehe. Same happened to me. Expected great value rise after WC. Anyway, after your superscore from today you’ll have a some good value rising. Both Austin and Silva will go up twice.
Man, unbelievable they’re playing again in 2 days. I’m trying to wait with my transfers. I can say I’m quite lucky it all worked out for me in the end. Was crazy stupid to have used my 2 FT’s from last week on Saturday and Monday.
jamesimmo
Cheers Raz. That’ll be nice. I know right! They must be knackered, well, some of them – some of course get rested – which is where our pain and suffering comes into it! 😉
By the way: I’d do the Bony —–> Tekkers/Jove straight swap.
Burnsy
Had a great few weeks, gone from 267k to 83k!
TheDreamers
Nice
jamesimmo
I’ve just lost my top 10k virginity.
TheDreamers
Good stuff james.
jamesimmo
Cheers mate.
Raziel
Congrats, I’m now off to watch MOTD. See ya.
jamesimmo
Thanks, ditto, in a bit.
TheDreamers
I’ve dropped to 170k. Fpl – u taking the piss?
1. It’s shite
2. I thought I had a good week
Have my standards dropped or wtf is going on?
duthers
Dreamers
This was one of those weeks where people that don’t have that good of a team do well :hippo:
I got 71 personally so I didn’t do that great compared to others, but it’s just one week out of 36, or something
TheDreamers
Just can’t get out of this slump Duthers
duthers
I know the feeling! Hopefully Janurary wildcard will mean I get back to that level.
TheDreamers
Ur in the top 4k aren’t you?
duthers
Dreamers
Yeah, have been for a few weeks now haha. I was more referring to last season, those were some dark days!
