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!
Morning all,
hoping for a Sterling hatty and neither City or Liverpool to win. Shouldn’t be a problem.
Alright Cookster, only a hat trick? I was hoping for 5!? Hows your GW going?
59 so far NZ, so i’ll take 5 yeah, as long as they don’t win, but I think you’re being unrealistic now :hippo:
How you getting on pal?
Unrealistic is my middle name cooks! 46 mate so pretty average, my team is holding on to its dignity by its teeth (saved by Chester of the bench last week!) ah the joys of the odd gamble and not-so gamble all not paying off spectacularly! That WC is looking very tempting next week
oh no NZ – you on a wildcard means endless messages at silly o’clock for me!! Hold onto it mate, you know you want to.
Terrible week for me, red arrows all round and a couple of free transfers made. Now just hoping nothing worse than the Chester red card affects my team for next weekend!
Don’t get too down Webstar, we all have them mate – you certainly weren’t alone with Chester.
Hi Cookie
Raheem to come for me too.
Morning Dad,
Lovely start you’ve had mata, nice one.
Cookie
Thanks mate. Yeah been very pleased with the opening two weeks.
I was caught between playing Terry, Dier and Clyne in my final CB spot and I think i’ll go with Terry, just due to how solid Chelsea are defensively and his GS threat. What do you think?
I would go with Dier but I cannot see a spurs shutout.
Burnsy, you could argue that Dier’s goal threat is much better than Terry’s right now?
I guess so but the shut out chance vs pool is really low whereas, judging by evertons performance vs Arsenal they aren’t fully fit as a team and I think Chelsea will take advantage of that + the goal threat from setpieces that Chelsea have. If Dier scores for 3 weeks running i’ll take my hat off, but i just cant see it.
You’re prob right – if you have Terry, no point in not playing him
You wish you were a Stark! 😛 Yeah, can’t see past Terry really. I was close to bringing in Dier, but I just can’t picture this continuing! I’ve said that a few times before though.. When all Spurs defenders are fit and he’s still playing then I think he will go straight in my team, though at whose expense I’m not sure yet.
Hi guys, I am back after a long time away, work getting in the way of fantasy football which is unacceptable and have made my boss aware lol!! just wondering if anybody will be jumping on di Maria or ballotelli or will it depend on prices?
Hi AJ, welcome back!
I think it will depend on prices and on how well other players in that price bracket are performing. There will be lots who will get them in early but I for one will want to see how involved they will be with their respective clubs.
Morning AJ, welcome home!
Doubt very much i’ll go with either to start with. More likely Di Maria, but will see what else United do in the window this week. If we can get a midfielder who has half an idea of what to do then maybe will look at ADM. Won’t be cheap though.
It is good to be back. I am swayed towards di Maria and I think he is guaranteed to play every week at his price. I am hoping he will be around the 9mil mark but have a feeling he will be about 10.5
I have issues with my defence at the moment and even did a draft wc team but chickened out of confirming lol!! Any suggestions as without taking some points hits which I hate doing but I am Struggling for a quick fix. My WIldcard team was
Krul fabianski
Ivanovic, dier, Taylor, Hutton, wisdom.
Silva, Ramsay, Siggy, Fabregas, Henderson.
Rooney, Costa, Naismith.
Any suggestions?
My team;
DDG* – Gilks
Pieters – Chambers* – Terry – Hutton* – Baird**
Fabregas – Mata – Ramsey – Siggy – Albrighton
Pelle – Rooney – Costa
* areas that need fixing sooner or later
** areas that need immediate fixing
What changes would you make?
* Pelle should also be added there 😉
Oooh yes, it just came in. Brilscore for City-Pool tonight.
Pelle would be my priority
I feel Pelle will come good and they still have great fixtures. Think he will start scoring soon, this week they need to train in bringing the ball to him. ;p
On that note, if Soton do get Townsend they are doomed.
DDG still has good fixtures, I’d hold onto him as it’s not a pressing issue.
Hutton, whats wrong with him? he seems nailed at the moment and for 4.1m you cant go wrong.
Baird, you can probably change for Dummett if you really wanted too.
Pelle’s fixtures are very strong and he is bound to score sooner or later, i’d hold onto him too unless you can see a better option for that price.
It’s a strong team but sooner or later your lack of premium defenders will cost you so you should try to address this in the next few weeks. Perhaps Pelle to Naismith if your desperate, this will set you up for a 5-6m defender next week.
Hmmm. Pieters would be a great scorer once Stoke fixed the defense (so weird, same players, weaker defense). Will get van Aanholt in 2 weeks and he will have a couple of great fixtures, he’s also likely to score high. Janmaat I also consider to be premium, I could do Chambers to Janmaat, he looked like scoring a few times. At the moment looking at fixtures more than anything and the players I just named are attacking backs that will go forward and grab points if you add the favorable fixtures they should do well.
Janmaat could be a good move, fixtures are favourable for them and they have been looking good. Perhaps that. I’d also look at getting a Spurs and Southampton defender in there.
Tips on where to use my other FT
Already done Bojan – Naismith
Thanks
Bruce to Dummett Rip
Thanks
Bruce to Dummet indeed, like Cookie said.
Thoughts on Mutch? Looks like his price will drop
If you let him go James Ward Prowse is a good option. Though I’m not sure wtf Koeman is thinking if he does attract the Town Idiot, I mean Townsend…
Team looks f-ing tight by the way.
Thanks it was another idea.
I love the Bruce – Dummett move
Just whether to play Mutch instead of Naismith or an alternative
Hi all, had a better GW than last week which is always helpful, lots of green arrows going from 527,00 to now 137,000-hope everyone else had a good week too!
Looking onto GW3, i think i might take my first hit of the season, young 100% has to go and bojan is not performing points-wise! maybe i can give bojan one more go, but young is decreasing price so i am thinking of JWP, rodwell or even moses. thoughts? theres not much else in the low priced forwards range, so tempted to just leave it but not overally sure!!
Eden I think you should definitely get Naismith but theres a plethora of options in the 4.5-5.5m bracket, just look at fixtures and form and you’ll find someone worthy.
thanks burnsy
I’m giving Bojan another chance. Haven’t seen MotD2 yet, but from BBC yday:
“Bojan is beginning to pull the strings for Stoke now as he drives forward from his own half and plays a slide-rule pass into Peter Crouch. The striker takes a shot, which loops into the direction of Mame Diouf following a deflection off Paul McShane but the striker heads wide.”
“Bojan is showing some real flashes of genius now – putting an almost-perfect ball into the box which Allan McGregor can only parry into the path of Peter Crouch who can’t react in time and the goalkeeper gathers the ball at the second attempt.”
Young to a 5.0 would be my suggestion.
