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!
YES OH MY GOD I THOUGHT MY CUP OPPONENT WOULD GET SHAWCROSS OF THE BENCH AS REID SCORED 0 POINTS I THOUGHT REID DIDN’T PLAY BUT HE DID AND IF SHAWCROSS HAD COME OFF THE BENCH I WOULD HAVE LOST THE TIE BUT SINCE SHAWCROSS STAYED ON THE BENCH I ACTUALLY WON BY ONE POINT OH MY GOD I’M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW I THOUGHT I HAD LOST YAAAAAY
#epic – the start of a great cup run?
Well done chap! Don’t use up all that cup-run-luck too early though!
I really needed a victory like this. Things have been going so shit lately I even started having thoughts about quitting FPL (I wasn’t going to, but I started thinking about it). I now find myself rejuvanated with this victory. Hail!
Lads who are you guys going to Captain For GW 19 ?
I think Chaustin & Silva are the two standouts given form and fixtures…
+1 and I’ve haut bought both tonight.
*just – will probs go with Austin.
James, I just got in Austin and Silva too.
And yes, my band is on Austin too right now considering burnley are much more tighter at the back than palace.
Nice one. Yeah makes sense that.
You got a moment to help me out please? It’d be great if you could list these 4 in order of preference for next gameweek:
– O’Shea vs Villa (A)
– Neil Taylor vs Liverpool (A)
– Steven Taylor vs Everton (H)
– Wasilewski vs Hull (A)
Pretty set on O’Shea, but other than that, pretty much clueless…
sure, no sweat.
I would go with o shea, wasilewski, s Taylor, n taylor
hope it pays off for you
Cheers
Cheers jasprit :beer:
92 points this game week, pleased with that! I have 2FTs this week with 0 in the bank. I really want Silva but would have to get rid of Eriksen and downgrade Baines possibly. What do people think and who to change for? Thanks.
Baines and Eriksen to Mangala and Silva would be great moves I think…
Do you think Mangala would be better than either Clichy or Kolarov?
Definitely, can’t have those due to their rotation.
Is sahko from Liverpool worth a shout for a 5.2 defender.
They seem to have improved of late and the fixtures are pretty kind.
Or is j Evans a better pick?
I reckon Evans. Both equally a risk but United’s fixtures and general form of De Gea make them look a good investment for the New Year (even though Spurs up next is less attractive I think it’s better long term)
Despite the clean sheet MOTD highlights suggest stay well clear!
Of sahko that is
Happy festivities lads.
Disappointing week here – I got 68 which isn’t too shabby (dropped back down to 17k) but my rival got 93. Just spent three weeks clawing back those points…ugh…
Thoughts on this week. Desolated bench which is worrying…1FT left after doing Bony>Benteke, 0.6m itb
Guzan (Mannone)
Cahill Mangala Wisdom (Chester Yun)
Hazard Yaya Sanchez Downing (Cork)
Benteke Austin(c) RVP
Any help?
– Save the transfer?
– use 1FT for any defender 4.5m or less to replace Yun?
– Take a -4 and do Yaya>Silva & Yun to less than 6.3m defender?
Cheers and happy for all you who’ve posted such good scores this week…
Save the transfer mate.. Don’t think there are too many options for 4.5m..
Hey all do u think baines to Hutton
Siggy to silva a good move for 4 point hit. Need shot of baines
Sounds a good shout in isolation, what’s your whole team?
Here’s my team
Yeah, bit of a gamble for the -4, but I guess you’re happy with that. I’d captain Silva to ease the hit too. Seems decent. Next two weeks get shot of Bony and Yaya before ACON. Also – maybe play Dummet rather than Taylor? Swansea aren’t super on the road…
Then thinking upgrade bony following week
I’m doing different things with the same players. I’m keeping Siggy, replacing Bony with Benteke and I’m keeping Baines (after watching MOTD where he was really good and Everton were really unlucky).
