Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 4 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15
The deadline bell has rung…did you play your wildcard or have you decided to hold onto it a little longer? Some will be happy with their decision while others will castigate themselves! The first game-week after an international break always makes for fun and games as we have to deal with those ‘international injuries’. Costa is injured, or is he?! Ramsey is injured, or is he?! The game-week kicks off with Arsenal hosting City at lunchtime today and we wrap things up on Monday night with an equally glamourous tie as Hull ‘entertain’ West Ham. Oh and in between there’s the small matter of United potentially rolling out another three debutants.
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 GW4 from all at FF247!

Not making any transfers for this GW has probably been the most profitable bit of FPL transfer business I’ve ever done.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Bry,
Well done you.
What’s your plans regarding your Geordie boys? They on their way?
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
GP, Riviere is a frustrating one. He keeps surviving in my team because of matters (pun intended) elsewhere. Even this week I’m probably going to get rid of Debuchy and Mata, so he’ll be around another week. Aching to get rid of him though! haha. Eventually he’ll make way for Welbeck, all things being equal.
I’ll keep Coloccini for the time being. I like his hair.
The B
My case:
1. Mata > Sterling
Oh crap, Jones is injured!! FECK!
2. Jones > Clyne for a hit.
Oh yeahh. Clyne cleanie!
Oh crap!! Sterling 1 pointer!!
Oh crap!! Mata goal!!
NIN
Afternoon gents. Nice shooting Bry 😉
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
I can’t take the credit NIN. It’s a combination of the bib theory, and not trusting unsubstantiated media rumours (Reckon between Costa’s ‘injury’ debacle two weeks ago, and the frenzy around Mata not starting, I’ll continue to ignore pretty much any report that doesn’t have a direct quote attached to it).
Wonder how quickly Di Maria’s price will go up this week then?! Could be forced into making an early transfer.
NIN
Yep, many (myself included) fell for the Costa waffle. 5 goals later and he’s now back on board! Pfft. Oh dear :sfan:
Re Di Maria, 0.2m rise i reckon. It seems a 0.3m rise is nigh on impossible these days. We shall see 😉
NIN
Oh, i didn’t realize he’d gone up in value already. Maybe he will max out so, after todays good performance.
The B
Hows the formation like with Mata gone?
Rooney in the hole with two strikers up top?
NIN
Yep. Didn’t look nearly as effective though.
Raziel
Yip. And he fits that role perfectly.
bihom17
Yup. He’s perfectly ineffective in that role.
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
Yap. Dropped a heck of a lot deeper once Mata went off.
Raziel
Oi, suddenly Hererra is set on 2 bps. FFS. Rooney was 4 points ahead, wtf happened in the last part of the game? Rooney made a crucial pass and shit. Lol. FPL is f-ing with us.
Anyway, I dare to say the Mata to Di Maria has paid off.
Raziel
78 points before BPS. Will get 5 or 7 BPS depending on what the FPL God’s decide to do with Rooney.
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
Yeah, I’m miffed about Rooney suddenly dropping to 2BPS too, Raz.
Umm… I’m not great with maths but if you took a 4 point hit to bring in Di Maria (11pts), forsaking Mata (9pts) I wouldn’t say it’s paid off! I’m certainly making that trade this GW though. Can’t see Mata keeping up with ADM from hereon out.
Raziel
Bryan, Di Maria is getting 3BPS. That’s 14 points for Di Maria and 8 for Mata (not 9). Not great at math either but I come out with +2 from that hit (plus I have the better player with better FPL future and also Mata dropped friday night). 😉
But whatever you say man.
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
Where are you getting this info from Raz? I’ll be the first to admit Di Maria deserves all 3 BPS, but according to TotalFPL, who’s BPS I was assured was still accurate, states otherwise. Not saying you’re wrong, just interested to know where you’re sourcing the numbers from.
Raziel
The FPL site? It says Di Maria 56 BPS. Mata will be dropped and Di Maria will be ahead of Herrera and Rooney. Rooney was on 48 just before and Herrera on 40, how did they switch the 2? F-ing pissing me off since Rooney is my cap.
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
Me too Raz. It’s amazing how greedy we get, huh.
Well, if TotalFPL’s bonus points turn out to be as reliable as their price changes, I’ll delete that waste of space from my bookmarks.
NIN
Yup. I’m seeing Di maria as MOTM by a full 10bps right now. Totalfpl are on the whacky tobaccy these days. Wonky
Raziel
Hmmm, totalfpl is going through some hard time. Don’t think there will be any site keepig up with the transfer pricechanges this season. Which is actually a good thing.
Anyway, I’m off. Less happy ”spamming” from my side, which should be a relieve on yours. 😉
Take care all. I’m leaving with a happy monkey picture… because… I’m happy…

Watching her dance is better than watching the Pharrel happy video, must see guys. There are beautiful ladies up in the UK. 😉
Raziel
Lol, Rooney going up again. +1500 people brought him in just now during the game. He was on -50.
Man, I have it all planned out. Not touching the transfer button and I’m booting out Chambers after the next game, probably. Chambers for Duff (or another 4m defender) and Rooney to Falcao. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, happy that Falcao won’t rise like crazy this week.
PeterPan
If di maria doesnt get the 3 points I will be amazed… adm, rooney and herrera should all get 3 points in my book… hell give 3 to lvg as well haha
NIN
Seeing as points are being dished out… can i have a few more, please? Say, about 20 odd? 😉
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
I’ve nothing to gain from ADM getting any bonus points, but considering he put in a MOTM performance and got 11 FPL pts, it seems rather shocking that he’s not currently in line to receive any BPS.
Raziel
What are you talking about Bryan? He’s set on 3bps. 😉
bihom17
Peter Pan can give you eternal youth and you’re asking for FPL points?! Seek help 😉
NIN
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Just a yes or no guys would do but reasons if you wish . . .
Can you get away with No Fab(but have Costa) if you have ADM?
Basically how will Fab and ADM compare come the end of the season?
The B
Both are must haves at the moment.
But to answer your question, id say yes. More coverage.

That’s a tough question TGP, and an answer will probably be little less than speculation. My gut says Di Maria will score more points, but gut feeling isn’t exactly “objective” or “reliable”.
Raziel
Ummm. What do you mean? One would think a City fan doesn’t like United players so if you really ”aren’t” objective you’d say Di Maria would be shite and Fabregas will outscore him. You didn’t say that though. Maybe not objective but sounds reliable.
NIN
Howdy GP. I would say no, mate. In four games he’s barely had a strike at goal, yet still has 31 points! Here lies a beast, and an essential one at that. Snap him up mate 😉
bihom17
I certainly wouldn’t sell fabregas for di maria and ideally you’d want them both. If I had to choose one I’d go for Fabregas just because he’s slightly cheaper
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Thanks everyone.
I think I will be getting him in to play alongside ADM.
med86ff
Mata, Rooney and Di Maria just saved my gameweek!
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
+1 med, only i had De Gea, Mata + Rooney.
Heres 1 for the masses to answer, Rooney or Falcao ? I’m on a wc so was wondering which 1to have, + all you idiots, don’t bother saying both. :p
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
elle,
Rooney. PK duties I suspect would swing it for me. Plus I see him being mainly the 90 minute player in the attack.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Evening Gee Pee, thats what i was thinking, stick then.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Evening elle
Yeah it’s a ‘stick’ from me pal.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Gee Pee, hows this ugly lot looking ?
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Elle
Looks good to me sir. I would keep an eye on the Burnley pair of Duff and Boyd.
Burnley look stronger at the back than WBA and King was subbed off at HT yesterday. Whether this had to do with Cambiasso arriving I’m not sure.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Gee Pee, theres only 1 thing bothering me, no Arsenal cover.
NIN
Yeah, Rooney for now, until Falcao is fit.
NIN
T’is a simple upgrade anyway. Might as well go with the fitter option.
milothesuperdog
Personally still a fan of Rooney. I think he’s the only one that is technically undroppable. Plus there’s the potential for both assists and goals.
Veer
You guys have made me so confused
Rooney or Aguero? I have Di Maria already
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Veer, i’m asking Rooney or Falcao, you are asking Rooney or Aguero, a fit Aguero all the time.
Raziel
There is no such thing as a fit Kun. 😉
Anyway, I’m planning on getting Falcao later on. Have Rooney but I do see Falcao as an upgrade in the long run. Really happy ROoney did wel today though. Hmmm, will watch the next match first before bringing in Falcao.
