Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 38 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16
And there it was gone. 37 weeks of sheer hell! For most anyway. Will the 38th be any better? Probably not! All logic seemed to go out of the window this time, taking with it the careful planning and attention to detail that most successful fantasy managers usually thrive on. Looking back it truly was the season of the underdog, ably accompanied by his close mate ‘Spoiler Dog’ as every best laid plan seemed to get scuppered at every single bloody turn, be it by an injury, a suspension, a rotation, a drugs test… On and on and on… to the point where we all just gave in and just had to finally laugh or cry. Always better to just laugh.
On which point we did. Well, we did both didn’t we, along the way. We all laughed, we all cried, we all had fun. Most importantly we all did it together. For better or for worse we all stuck at it and tried our best to help each other along the way. One big fantasy football community. And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for every single comment and view this season, it means a lot, and means we are doing our job properly. We shall of course be back for next season but in the meantime please stick with us as we shall be playing Fantasy Euro 2016 over the summer as well as building up to the next FPL season with pre-season articles galore.
For now though, ‘enjoy’ what is left of this somewhat horrid fantasy season and we wish you luck in nailing your mini-leagues in the final week. Make sure you tell us how it went for you, either way. Every game starts at the same time this week so whether it’s pain or pleasure for you it’ll be over quite quickly. Here are the final 10 games…

Ok been looking at basement fwds Janko , Milik & Alcacer if gets the nod interest me also Mertens might be handy he’s down as a mf player but plays further up field. Who do we think will be Eng two strikers ?
One striker I have on my team and I’m really considering keeping him is Shane Long. I think he should lead the line for Ireland and with the the Belgium team not playing as good as usual and Sweden not doing much defensively either I’d say he could be a good punt.
Kane will be the no.9 and then there’ll be 3 in behind him. Probably Rooney, Alli and one other. That would have been Welbeck wide so now it could be Barkley, Lallana, Townsend or even Vardy. Depends if Wilshere and Hendo make it as to where Alli has to play.
No little shit?
#evilelle
Init do you not thk Dier will start was considering him
Yes I do, I’d expect him to take one of the 2 midfield spots behind the 3 and alongside one of Jack or Hendo.
Do you guys think this will be the starting XI for England currently have Alli and Stones but Im unsure.
Hart
Clyne Stones Smalling Rose
Dier Henderson
Lallana Alli Vardy
Kane
I left Rooney out because I think he should be left on the bench and only brought on if really needed.
Matt, surely Sturridge and Rooney start…and Cahill instead of Stones?
Well I was thinking Sturridge but unless Roy plays 3 up top I dont see how you can drop Vardy or Kane as for Rooney like I said I think him and Robbie Keane should be two players who should be put on the bench and only brought on if they are really needed. I think its time to give these other players the chance now.
Cahill vs Stones is the one thing I was unsure of I think Cahill will play but Roy seems to like Stones so its a tough one
Sturridge is our best striker by far, in my opinion.
Oh I agree with you but based on this season if you were Kane or Vardy and you got pushed out by a player who spent most of it on the sidelines you’d be fairly annoyed
I get they’ve had great seasons but they are still 2 & 3 behind Sturge for me. Sturridge is much more proven than those two for me – he’s scored goals everywhere he has been irrespective of who is playing around him. Kane can’t score without Dembele.
That’s very true. I prefer Sturridge aswell and Kane hasn’t scored in weeks. So you could be right that he only scores with Dembele.
Also, I cant see Vardy playing as a winger. If Kane up top it will be sturridge on the left. If sturridge up top, then sterling on the left.
Agree DMC, I can’t see Vardy starting, but then what do I know?
My squad will be made up of just players who appear or who have appeared in the Premier League – cuts out the confusion and thinking time for me.
Knew you’d be pleased.
Hahaha I started with that but then I remembered the likes of Greizmann, Ronaldo, Pogba and Alaba.
Pogba and Ronaldo have played in the Premier League.
I didn’t think Pogba got an appearance in the PL only cup games?
No he defo played a couple of PL games
Oh right I didn’t realise that.
I think I’m just going to choose my team from any nation with red in there flag 😉
Ok – my PL Euro team – rip it to bits, I can take it
Lloris
Boateng, Koscielny, Carvalho
Fabregas, Hazard, Modric, Ozil
Long, Ronaldo, Sturridge
Bench: Westwood, Dummett, Fonte, Wiltshire.
Cookie I like this team Ron could be the highest scorer during the group faze , not sure I like Long but if you have Ron its hard cash wise.
First 11 solid GK in good group along with def all good , but to much cash for me , I fancy Bel to do well in this tournament Ozil & Mod top players and Sturridge will score goals.
Great start mate 😉
Thanks SIlvers, I appreciate you taking the time to look through it and share your honest thoughts. Long is my concern also to be honest.
A shocking lack of Dutch In there Cookie mate.
*waits*
hee hee…………
*ahem* Raz?
he’s ignoring you
I like this team Cook. I really like the front line and as I said earlier today I think Long will be Ireland’s main man this summer. They wont score as many goals as the likes of Spain, Germany etc but I think they will nick a few and I think Long will be the man to get them
Cheers Matt – would you prefer Long to Shaqiri?
Is Shaqiri a forward in this? I thought he was a midfielder for Switzerland
Just seen he’s a forward. That could be a good move possibly a more higher scoring team
It’s either Long and Hazard or Shaqiri and Pogba – no idea what is best.
Thats a tough one. Hazard seems to have hit form now but plays against Long in the 3rd game I believe and Shaqiri and Pogba are both great players in some pretty handy teams. I’d probably lean towards Pogba and Shaqiri
How does this team look? I brought in two GKs because I’m still unsure whether its best to rotate them or not but I like the rotation between these two GKs.
Lloris,
Hummels, Alderweireld, Bonucci,
Alaba, Xhaka, Alli, Pogba,
Long, Ronaldo, Greizmann
subs: Rui Patricio, Kalas, Keogh, Khailli
Hey Matt I have 5 off your team still not settled yet on team Xhaka , Kalas , Kahalli let me know which teams& I will chk them out still a very strong first 11
Hey Silvers, yeah I’m still unsure of Xhaka, Kalas, Khailli and the one I’m possibly most unsure of is Bonucci. I’d really like him but I think Italy are the most defensive team so kind of need one of them.

Looks good Matt, although I don’t know half the names there hahaha. KKK on the bench is not very PC in this day and age mate.
hahah oh god I didn’t even notice that. Well I think I’m going to be changing Kalas to Kadlec and Keogh to Hinteregger so the KKK will become KHK.
Probably wise mate, you don’t want a load of protesters knocking your front door down
Haha true. Whats your thoughts on Xhaka, Bonucci and having 2 playing GKs? I could downgrade Rui Patricio and Xhaka to raise money to upgrade my bench then.
Matt, I’ll be honest I haven’t heard of any of the names you mention lol. I’m really not the person to be asking for RMTs – this is my time to be asking rather than offering advice
Haha Cheers anyway mate. Yeah I only know a few of them because I did the U21s last year plus a few of the bigger european names but I’ll try and help if anyone needs it
Anyone else getting done by the bomb scare at OT? I’m 4 Pts ahead in 2nd place ( prize money involved here)’in my ML. However I suspect that Man Utd will field a weak team now and if Martial and Velencia don’t play my rival will have Danny Drinkwater coming on with 10pts.
I’m telling ye, that’s a sickner!
General concensus seems to be that he’ll field a fairly strong team so you should be ok with any luck.
