Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 2 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15
The deadline bell has rung, meaning no more tinkering, no more transfers and your gameweek captain has been chosen. Did you go with Costa or Fabregas or are you ignoring the Chelsea brigade and maybe kept faith with Siggy or even Robertson!! Whatever your team, we now look forward to three days of action, starting off with Aston Villa vs Newcastle this lunchtime and finishing Monday night at the Etihad as City entertain Liverpool.
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 for GW2 from all at FF247!
I didn’t see the games last night, now did RVP play?
Quite anonymous, I’d say. Not fully fit, I’d guess.
Hi everyone, thankyou for all your help so far. Please give me advice for GW3. Is Newcastle keeper/defender double too risky? If so which bench defender to put in? Do I need Mata? If I do who do I swap him for? Already used my F/T this week to replace Chester with Dier (before his price rises) Any/All comments welcome. Thanks
Looks fine as it is. Absolutely no need to take any hits.
Cracker,
I am due to bring in Janmaat this week and I already have Krul and considering playing both this weekend myself.
Your team is looking in great shape, well done. I would play DIer though regardless of fixture. If we go on form, Spurs have two clean sheets and Dier two goals – difficult to bench him. And Tottenham are at home as well. I’d play him before Clyne who goes to West Ham who just scored three in their last match.
GP, evening mate. Hows daddy-hood? Why Janmaat over a cheaper Newcastle defender, did he stand out?
NZ
Going well. Interrupted sleep is the biggest culture shock again. But we’re getting there. Every day is hectic just now with visitors and appointments and it all
Janmaat caught the eye on Saturday. Seems a natural replacement for Debuchy. Very forward thinking and came close with both a shot and a header from a set play. I also fancy he’ll keep his place where others (Coloccini apart) may face stiff competition. Also has a lower ownership than Dummett and Coloccini.
GP, ah the joys of being a dad. Again!!! But he’s £5mil, worth that extra 0.5? I watched Ivan for Chelsea, that man is playing like a midfielder! Im very tempted by him. Hows your week going?
NZ
I can afford the extra so I’m gonna go with him.
Agree with Ivanovic definitely.
54 with Raheem to play. 128 altogether so far.
Cracker, well done. Right now, that is a great looking team. as GP says though, start Dier!
Hi Everyone,
1st year player. Please give me some advice on my team. I haven’t wildcarded yet but I have already made 2 changes this week (Cabella to Mata and Chester to Dier) but happy to take the -4 point hit (and maybe more if I need it – only playing H2H and by the looks of it I have next weeks opponent covered quite easily).
A lot of people are talking about Aguero, do I need him? Do I need to upgrade Jukiewicz to Naismith or Berahino just for my bench? Do I need to get rid of DDG before he drops in price? I can’t see Man U keeping a clean sheet maybe for the whole year
If I do take out DDG who do I try to get?
Thanks heaps for your help
Tallybeaver,
Welcome to the site.
Looks like you will be lining up in 3-5-2 formation most weeks? If so, the Jutkiewicz is fine as your substitute striker – no need to upgrade as long as he keeps playing each week.
That is a very strong side and for one thing, no need to take any hits this week or use your WC any time soon.
You could go from your current GKPs to two who rotate well for the same cost such as Krul/Mannone or Guzan/Foster so you have more choice each week.
I would fit in Dier in to that team for this week. Playing players in form is vital in this game.
One other thing to say is that although you look forward to your H2H opponent, you won’t see his final team until after the deadline and by then, its too late for you to ‘cover’ him. Play to get the most of your players and your team – the H2H will take care of itself.
get baird out and wisdom in..atleast he plays..
Morning all…..confused about Chester….FPL site saying banned until 15 Sep which is only 1 game? I thought straight red was 3 game ban? Or do I not know the rules?
SWAMPSTER,
No expert in this field but I think violent conduct red cards are three-game bans.
Yesterday was not violent conduct.
Thanks, clearly the FPL site wont have it wrong, and not violent as you say……dont think any point on shifting Chester for 1 gw
Swampster
Yeah bench him if you can.
Hello all, how are we all?
Question for the day; we are now a few weeks in to the season and are people still liking the 3-5-2 system that was so popular preseason, a lot due to Bo(jan)-Selecta, or are people heading back to 3-4-3? Or even the radical 4-4-2 or 4-5-1?
goodmorning guys..need suggestion on WC. here’s my team.
doubts:
1. as the prices for players like dier, vlaar, naismith rising, wud it be advisable to get them into the pack?
2. also, players like mata, de gea, mariappa are being devalued every day. is this the right time to get rid of em?
3. what to do about the dummies baird, davis and myhill? they also dont seem to get any playtime soon.
4. what about fab? as I think my MF is a decent one already.is he still a must considering future fixtures?
need serious advice on the WC decision part, as I am not able to do so. thanks frens.
Hello Constantine. There are any number of pro and cons to WC-ing this early. Your team has a good core but you are correct about price drops/rises. I would suggest you try to decide on the the strategy between now and January; formation, ‘must have’ players etc and see if this can be achieved in the next few weeks without using your card. If not, maybe its time. Also remember the international break is after the next GW; two weeks of tinkering and gaining price rises! Good luck.
