Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 30 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15
GW30 is live! Ahhh, a lunch time game to get us going. Vinny welcomes in Gareth McAuley and the Baggies where he hopes to get some tips on how to defend properly from the Irishman. That is followed up by 5 games with a three o’clock start time. Swansea visit Villa and their all of a sudden high scoring side. Sherwood has managed to inspire and lead his men to goals in 3 of their last 4. Sounds like Manager of the Season material to me. The Newcastle French contingent watch their messiah Wenger come in to probably bless them with another defeat. Burnley will be feeling up for a go at Saints after beating City and restoring hope that they can yet crawl out of the bottom 3. In other action Spurs will be looking to rebound against Leicester after being the first team to be outsmarted by tactical genius LVG this season. Speaking of genius managers, Pardew takes his Palace side for a visit to the Britannia for a mostly fantasy irrelevant game. The Hammers look to get back on track against a reeling Sunderland squad, unfortunately for them the firing of Poyet could well mean that the Black Cats might come in prepared.
Sunday sees off the game-week with the last 3 fixtures. The lead game is a cracker of a game, as Liverpool welcome pugilist Wayne Rooney and his Manchester corner-men. After that bout ends we get the chance to witness CFC looking to skin a cat at KC Stadium. If they somehow can’t, I am sure Jose will blame the referee for handing them a dull knife or something. We close our GW with Charlie Austin continuing to try and impress current and future Premier League teams in 2015/2016 that his services can be used. Should be easy going for him as Everton are now due a streak of several losses if their record since November is any indication.

Good luck to absolutely everyone for GW30 from all at FF247!
74 point haul so far, looking good :hippo:
Brilliant Burnsy, you scored great last week too all, things considered! Just looked at my ML and someone scored 7! Yep, 7. :oogle:
I love it when my mates in my ML do awful, we banter them so hard. Hopefully I get more green arrows and beat last years overall, good luck init 😉
That’s the stuff. Good man yourself 😉
Yeah, well! 88 points for me so far, with Hazard and Terry to come. I’ve had Kane (c), Giroud go into double figures with only Aguero blanking, now I’m hoping for the ton. For those that want proof, I have posted a screenshot below 😉 Must say I’m pretty happy with that!
Great week Nosaj! Those 2 should in theory bring the ton up for you. Well done!
Thanks innit. How how has your team gone to this point?
78 with Terry and Austin left so hoping Austin makes my inept Everton pay big time! Hoping Alcaraz plays as the guy ain’t got a clue. Oh, this is all sooo wrong! Go QPR!
:what: Oh dear oh dear.
Nice score and also …….. :cuckoo: ……. You’ve got to go for your own club hahahaha. Hope for QPR 2-3 Everton with Austin bagging a brace or something
Nah, lost it with Martinez finally I’m afraid. Said from day 1 he was the wrong choice. Nice man etc but massively flawed philosophy. Probably be great as Barca boss but we aren’t Barca. We are barely Wigan at this point. Saw the team on Thursday with Barry in and Besic benched (our best player this season by a mile vs an increasingly slow and suspect Barry) and knew what would happen. And it did. Add in the defeatist press conference the day before. Would Jose sit there saying ‘well whatever happens we’ve had fun and a good run’? Would he heck as like. Sorry! :rant:
I do agree, he was never the right manager for you guys. He can change it around still…… But I doubt it. You guys are way too good to 14th, 6 points of the relegation zone saying ‘well whatever happens we’ve had fun and a good run’. So yeah, I agree he definitely needs to leave.
On the plus side you’re good either way. You’ll either mostly likely get a QPR win with an Austin goal/assist, or you’ll get an Everton win.
Anyway good luck for the rest of the GW
Nice going yourself, mate. Well done :thumbup:
Yoink! That’s some good shooting, mate. Well done.
Thanks NIN. Had a nice rise up the rankings, now I’m in top 20,000, as I rose 20,000 spots
Excellent. Great to see fellow FF247’ers doing well :thumbup:
Are you going well NIN? What score are you on?
Not really. 57 so far with three left to play. Cant complain, though. Below par weeks are bound to happen.
You’re still way above the average, so don’t worry mate. Good luck for the rest of the GW!
Cheers, Nosaj. Same to you buddy :thumbup:
Fraser Forster reportedly out ‘for the season at least’ – anyone know if this’ll make it likely he’ll go down in value tonight?
Don’t think so Fox, in fact nowhere near. Fix has him at 54.4% to rise! He will drop at some point this week but no rush from the looks of it.
Cheers. Saves me making a quick decision tonight on who to bring in
Ouch. That’s really unfortunate for him. He has been quality all season. Hopefully he makes a quicker recovery than is being reported.
Who to replace Forster? Pity he’s out as he’s been excellent. K. Davis did well today (although he looked like he put on some pounds) so stick w/ Southampton or go for someone else? (Ospina, Myhill, De Gea, Mignolet come to mind though the latter 2 have a few tough ones coming up?)
Or even Fabianski?
If Forster is out for as long as reported, then Davis seems a great bargain. After that, Migs seems a good purchase too.
Myhill for cheaper route. Play with 10men against kun, silva n city.
Let in 3 goal but manage to save 13-15 shot. And he got 5 point for yesterday
Impressive.
Alternative davis and fabianski for me
Guys,
This is my current team,
Pantsu,
Noughton, azpi, bertrand, alder
Haz, eriksen, silva
Kane (c), kun, giroud
Mannone, ozil, boyd, pva
As we are closing to dgw and blank gameweek, is it a good move for me to transfer out giroud for benteke and manone for myhil?
I got 1.6 itb plus 2FT
Thanks in advance
Not sure Id be losing Giroud given his form. How long is Foster out for?
I agree with Dreamers on the Giroud issue, leave him in. Myhill is a good move as Foster is gone for the next 6 months I think, but I could be mixing him with Forster.

Foster (West Brom) is six months
Source: WBA Official:
ALBION goalkeeper Ben Foster has been ruled out for six months after damaging cruciate knee ligaments in the recent victory over Stoke City.
The 31-year-old England keeper underwent reconstruction surgery on his anterior cruciate ligaments yesterday after the damage was discovered during an exploratory operation.
Foster, who has become one of the mainstays of Albion’s defence during the club’s recent Premier League years, has targeted a first team return in October of next season.
But the news is a hugely disappointing blow for player, club and country, Foster having emerged as national coach Roy Hodgson’s first-choice understudy to Joe Hart.
Foster limped out of the Stoke game in the second half and initial examination suggested cartilage damage and a month’s absence from duty.
But it was agreed that if surgeons found more substantial damage during Friday’s surgery repairs would be carried out at the same time and the Albion favourite awoke to be told of the lengthier absence.
Dr Mark Gillett, who as Director of Performance heads up Albion’s sports science and medical team, says: “Ben is in good spirits despite this obvious disappointment to him – he’s already talking about his ‘rehab’ and wanting to get started on it immediately.
“But he has had a cruciate reconstruction of his left knee following the injury against Stoke and he will be out for six months.”
Foster suffered similar damage in his right knee early in his career, making a full recovery to establish himself as one of the top keepers in the Premier League.
Albion will now look to Foster’s clubmate and close pal Boaz Myhill to continue his recent impressive form – the Welsh international was outstanding during the Baggies 10-man battle against champions Manchester City – with Under 21 graduate Jack Rose continuing as understudy.

Cheers GP I thought it was 6 months.
Tq all
Pretty happy with my team for next week I think this will be my lineup given no injuries. The only move I’m thinking of making is Pantillimon –> Fabianski
What you think? 2 FTs and 0.7 mil in the bank
MattX
Morning pal
Looks good on paper.
You not convinced by Villa then for the DGW? So you don’t lose a FT, I’d maybe go Krul – Guzan.
Morning GP
Well I’m not too sure about the Villa defence and with them playing Utd and QPR I dnt really see a CS, but with Swansea playing Hull I think Fab can get a CS. Could be wrong though.
Would you not sell Pantillimon instead of Krul??
MattX
As I’ve said already this week – I really don’t fancy Newcastle for the rest of this season.
How about Haidara out for Hutton – nice chance of some attacking returns?
If not then I understand and I’d do the Fabianski move – but again for Krul for me mate.
No I understand that I don’t think Newcastle will be good either this season but Sunderland have been poor so thought it to be the lesser of two evils.
I like the Haidara to Hutton move but then that leaves me with a bit of selection headache as to who to leave on the bench.
Probably just go with Guzan.
Hey guyz
Well chuffed with 75 pts so far with Terry / Haz / Austin still to play…..looking at that exclusive 100 club fingers crossed.
So looking to next Gw.
is Austin for captain, a no brainer?
3 goals & 1 assist in 10 prem games doesn’t fill me with confidence…?
Same here mate after the disaster that was last week we all needed big scores this week.
I don’t think Austin is a dead cert captain choice as Kane is playing Burnley and after his hat trick today and a possible first England cap he could be riding high.
BigP
Good scoring. I have 70 with the same three to go so If you get the ton – I can’t be that far behind 😉
I wouldn’t say its a no-brainer that one but it is a no-brainer to keep him in your side if you have him already.
Kane, again would make good captaincy appeal for the next GW at Burnley.
