Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 5 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16
GW5 is live! It’s back baby! Let us commence the agony of having all our moves turn into a post International Break nightmare. Kicking our slow death by no FPL points is a match up of wonderful English names, Roberto vs Jose. Good thing Donald Trump isn’t running for Prime Minister. In the 3pm games we finally get to see the unveiling of Arsenal world class striker Benz.., Laca…, no one, Really?! Still Giroud?! FFS! In other action we see City and their actual big signings go hunting at Selhurst Park. Callum Wilson will look to validate the trust showed by many managers in him when Bournemouth visit Norwich. Watford welcomes 4th place Swansea and hope to keep the Panther from striking again. Saints and West Brom match-up after both earning their first win of the season. In the late game we see the geniuses at work when Rodgers and his confused XI travel to Old Trafford and face off with LVG’s utterly confused XI.
On Sunday we have two fixtures. As usual Sunderland are in the relegation zone this time of year and they play the once again disappointing Spurs, who are also their usual self this time of year. In the other Sunday fixture we see a battle between value mids, as Mahrez takes on Sinclair in a fight for the hearts of the bargain hunters.
We finish the game-week off with The Hammers opening the doors to a Newcastle side that started off as bad as FPL managers have this season, but at least the Toon haven’t been reduced to tears yet.

Another captain fail and no goal or assist from any of my players with 2 to play.Starting to think the way forward is to captain a defender every week !!!!
We’d probably get that wrong Brooky. :big-lol:
Don’t do it, stick to the mids and forwards, it’s just no fun putting the (c) on a defender.
the only player who scored or assisted for me today is one my subs.
10 players played.
and this is on a wildcard week.
i think it’s time to retire.
My best player Sanchez, 3
My bench 1,1, & 0 so far
Total 15 from 7 with Mahrez,Payet,Alderw, & Oxford
yet to play
I might scrape 20 if Im lucky,
Jasprit, you may want to sit down before I break this news…
One of my players actually scored. A goal. A real one
Point being, hang in there buddy. Most are in a similar boat. I think we all thought this odd bubble would have well and truly burst by now but then we said that in GW2. And 3, and 4…..
Yeah bloody Benteke wondergoal after him and Liverpool never looked like scoring ! Nailed on he would score when I took him out !!
Ouch! Glad I stuck with him throughout that one now, with hindsight obviously, as the next 2 games look fairly tasty for him. He was on the radar to go initially. Courtois canned any thought of that in the end really. Who’d you pick up instead?
Wilson,freed up some cash.No regrets cos Liverpool look awful !!
I wildcarded this week, and even though I’m a ‘Pool fan, decided to have Aguero in rather than Benteke -_-
I was planning on a good week this week (as we all do with a WC team) and then using my FT to upgrade YYT to Silva. But, with Aguero disappointing again, I feel like replacing him is now looking better. Perhaps another City defender… but, it’s Aguero, right?!
Anyway, this is my squad. Thoughts? 37 points so far this week, so a nice haul
None of my players picked up a goal or assist, Kolarov is my only player better than 3 points.
Rare as hens teeth it would seem! More used to mentally logging a goal or assist on a Saturday afternoon every 20 mins or so. Almost given up even checking when my players are playing now!
Used to be a buzz sitting down watching soccer Saturday watching the points roll in,now it’s torture.I found myself cleaning the house instead while it was on to keep myself preoccupied !!
Wildcarded and this is how I will line up for next GW.
Any advice?
Hi Fudgy, can’t really argue with the front 8 other than maybe Costa, I’d question if he’s worth his price and I’m still not convinced on Barkley but obviously we are playing fairly well so he could be worth a punt although the fixtures are still not the best for a good few weeks yet.
At the back I’d possibly reconsider Cedric. Southampton’s fixtures look tough for a while now in terms of potential clean sheets – I think it’s something like Man Utd, Swansea, Chelsea, Leicester and Liverpool in a row.
I’d maybe switch one of the 2 Watford players as well just for the sake of creating more variety of options as you’d be unlikely to ever pick the 2 in 1 week.
Ok, so I could change Cedric and Cathcart and maybe get in Naughton and who else?
Possibly Martin?
Maybe grab a Leicester defender? Morgan or someone at 4.5.
Martin works too. Anyone like that just gives you another option to work with.
Ye I think you are right!
Yep shut your eyes and hope for the best !!!
Or that!
Costa>Benteke
I green arrows. bravooooooooo
from 2 million to 1.9 million now.
29 with Mahrez and Schmeichel to play. a clean sheet for schmeichel and a penalty save along with 12 other saves. a hattrickfrom mahrez and 2 assists. that would be sweet
Woohoo!
Cracked the million here! :noshake: Hopefully Mahrez (c) makes a further dent into that but right now I’m guessing he’ll miss a pen and grab a yellow!
Bentaleb brace 😉
More likely in one than getting one…
Haha, probably! That capo choice of yours is set up nicely now eh? Cant believe everyone blanked again.
Felt odd doing it but also right given the climate.
Nearly went there myself mate. He ended as (vc). What do you make of United defence going forward? Fixtures aren’t great but we’re solid as a rock.
Wouldn’t mind for GW7! Wouldn’t be surprised if you kept Southampton out this week but wouldn’t bet on it. Not sure after that as it looks tough for 8 to 10 at least. Hardly the worst bet overall though as you have looked surprisingly solid as you say.
Really considering Shaw, he’s playing great in every game. Either that or double up on Pulis…
I feel like playing a 5-4-1 every week with Kolarov captain permanently. two baggies, a man utd, a watford yes watford, and Joe Hart with the goalkeeping gloves
29 pts with 2 players to go and hoolahan (13pts) with Targett (7pts) on the bench
Another awesome week!
Nice bench Tomas! Any chance someone doesn’t play to grab some of those points?!
I wish but nope.. fantasy foootball is cruel
42 points with Mahrez to go, ranked 600k (My all time best). All my forwards and midfielders got 1 and 2 (C) Sanchez got 6 and my defense saved me Kolarov and Bellerin both with 9, how is everyone else doing?
Nice score. Good chance Mahrez gets you to 50 points for this week. 31 here with 4 to go. So-so.
you’re at least going to get up to 39, I bet you could get to high 40’s if who you have left can perform.
Should do. 50 is the target.
