Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 29 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15
GW29 is live! And is it ever with a thrilling lunch time kick off at Selhurst park. Palace receive road warriors QPR in what promises to be at least as good as their first encounter, which ended in a goalless draw. That cracker of a game is followed by 4 games including Arsenal versus the Hammers. This promises to be the most interesting fixture from a fantasy perspective. Although the Hammers have only won one in their last 11 so I am not sure how much of a fight they will put up. The Black Cats will be full of confidence against Villa as the law of averages says they are due a win, having only won twice in their last 18. We also see ‘The Championship’ quality Leicester side receive barely good enough to be in the EPL Hull City. But just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, not to worry as we also have the Baggies welcome Stoke. This being the same Baggie side that managed to lose to Villa twice in less than a week. Thankfully we have a late kick off to rescue this Saturday set of fixtures with 19th place Burnley, OH FFS!! playing City in what is sure to be one way traffic. Geez, that was a depressing Saturday. This would be a good day to take the family out and ignore the EPL, but if you just can’t pass up watching then let it us know your thoughts in the chat below inbetween naps.
Luckily Sunday sees a far better set of fixtures, but with your luck this is the day the missus will pick to want to have a nice family day, outdoors. Mourinho’s men take on Southampton in a match-up of the leagues two best defences. The Toffees receive the Toon, in what looks to be a draw-y affair. As Roberto’s side has drawn their last 4 at home and Newcastle are in the ‘whatever’ stage of their season, safe from relegation and too far away from any European spots. We also see LVG welcome could have been Arsenal legend Harry Kane and his Spurs side to Old Trafford. Hopefully we will get to see another master class in the long square pass from United, as we all continue to learn from the wealth of knowledge emanating from the Dutch manager.
In the only game on Monday, Swansea entertains Liverpool. The Merseysiders have accrued 29 out of a possible 33 points in their last 11 games as they continue their mad dash to claim Arsenal’s 4th place trophy.
Don’t forget to also share any experiences if you are participating in any or several of the woofbet.com leagues. Remember scores update in real time, so don’t be shy and let us know how much you are in line to win.

Hey guys, how’s it going? Looks like Poyet just got the sack. Hopefully whoever takes over can get them playing some defense and keeps PvA in the side, lol. Anyone heard anything about Walters from Stoke? Might have to replace him if he’s going to be out for a bit.
photek
He has been sacked Red, it looks like they’re after Advocaat, PVA’s fellow Dutchman so the signs look good.
Cookie
Hey Red, yeah I guess no real surprise with Poyet – can’t be 0-4 down at home to Villa and expect to keep your job! Haven’t heard about Walters yet, will keep my ear to the ground, hopefully find something by midweek.
Albertini
Hey Red, the only thing I could find regarding Walters is this:

Cookie
Scan today, if it’s a fracture, it’s likely to be a few weeks.
RedVT
Thanks guys, much appreciated. I’m guessing he’ll need replacing. Was planning on bringing in Ki Sung-Yueng originally anyway but rolled the dice on Walters for a few weeks because he had a nice schedule. Too bad Init selfishly used up all Walters’ luck and points already or maybe he could have done something for me!
Raziel
Owwwwwww shit. At first I was like, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But now I think about it. What if anything happens to Pantsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu? ZOMG, have no second goalie.
Cookie
Doubt the new man would change keeper Razsu
Raziel
Same, but you never know though.
Cookie
stress not my Dutch friend. So, did Terry almost score yesterday? I didn’t see the match.
Raziel
Could’ve scored twice in 10 seconds. One super save by Forster and second try he kicked the ball next to the goal. Sighs. He was really annoyed with himself. SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!
Cookie
bollox – also had Foster and Pieters going off within 10mins of each other, Walcott missed a 1-on-1 in the first 5 mins and Silva capo couldn’t control the ball when clean through…..oh…and my leader bought Benteke 2GWs ago !!
Raziel
Loving it Cookster, you’re on 20 points like me. WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scrap that, you have Sturridge left to play. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Sturridge 0 points and I’ll give you a special handshake. :dance:
Btw found a picture of you in your PJ’s.
Cookie
Razsu I’ve heard about your special handshakes, so thanks but…… !!
As for the pic, I may not be the most handsome (quite), but I ain’t ginger !!
Sturridge will do nothing tonight, you’ll see.
Raziel
If only Terry scored that goal, haha. That would’ve made up for the entire gameweek. He’s get 5 points from goal plus 3 BPS for winner. Sighs.
RedVT
Yup, that was a heart breaker Raz. Dawson also got tackled in the box trying to shoot for what should have been a penalty and if scored, 3 points for him (and me!) plus probable BPS. Just one of those weeks where nothing seemed to go right. :/
Raziel
I dropped 2k places, out of the top 6k now. :dance:
With tonights game at hand. WHOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Took a hit for Ivanhoooooooooooo and Terry, Komps and Baines got 8 points though. So I’d be 5 points better out. But aah well, it’s cool. Glad I don’t have Baines now it seems Lukaku is on penalty duty.
photek
So glad I left George Boyd and his 11 pts on my bench…who would’ve thought he’d do that!
Raziel
Dude you have 30 points plus you have Rose coming on. That’s good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
photek
Raz, Rose got 0… 3 goals against and a booking means he got zilch
but I did see I snuck in front of you in the 10 Months, 10 Prizes league
Raziel
I see. Good thing you had Boyd on your bench than. :dance:
photek
and Bruce who got 6 pts!! 17 pts on my bench ffs!
neelbasus
Any chance of Trippier rising or Rose going down ? Really want Rose in my team for Trippier but I am 0.1m short !
NIN
Rose is on the way up, as far as i know.
James101
Ok. 2FTs.
What do I do to this lot?!
Drop an arsenal mid and upgrade Austin to Giroud?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
J.
NIN
They sound like good moves to me, Jimbo. What value mid would Cazorla have to be dropped to?
Wafflez
Got 1ft 4.4 in the bank. Feels like i need to get rid of Hutton or pva?
And maybe Walters. Get rid of Austin for another forward? Any tips can take a hit or two ?
nishant
Your team looks fine. You may save your FT. But if you are willing to make a transfer than you may upgrade Austin to Giroud. Dont take a hit with this lot would be my advice.
Wafflez
Been thinking about Giroud to, but feels Like i need to do a something about my defence first. But you’re right a hit isn’t worth it probably. Thanks for the input
NIN
Wafflez – Sunderland are screwed. I’d bin van Aanholt. Cresswell or Rose could do well over the next few weeks.
Wafflez
Been thinking about rose to. But Cresswell might be a better option guessing that more people will have rose ????
NIN
Wafflez – Cresswell is certainly the riskier pick, but i do fancy WHU to turn it around and pick up some points in the next three games.
