Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 5 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15
The deadline bell has rung and your decisions are now final! This could actually be a tough week for fantasy managers. A lot of the usual, ‘obvious’ candidates are away from home and even those that aren’t have difficult games on paper. Arsenal, Liverpool, Southampton, Man Utd and Chelsea are all on the road while Swansea and Man City are at home but are by no means guaranteed anything, facing Southampton and Chelsea respectively. QPR and Stoke kick us off at 12.45pm in the early Saturday game and even that ones hard to call given the inconsistencies of both. We then have five 3pm kick offs and the day is rounded off as West ham host Liverpool in the evening game at 5.30pm. Sunday sees Leicester vs Man Utd and Spurs vs West Brom, both at 1.30pm followed by two 4pm games as Everton host Palace and the big one of the weekend that sees Man City square up to Chelsea.
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 GW5 from all at FF247!
The bottom of
Right, so now I’be got a fresh page. I need some help from you guys.
I’m 6 points behind the leader, who has wild carded already. Whilst I’ve still got mine in hand.
I think I need some surgery, but am hesitent to make decisions on certain aspects before others become clear.
Isgrove needs to go.
Double up of WBA is useless.
Hazard isn’t firing.
Austin looked useless today vs Stoke, due to the poor service.
Ramsey looks shattered.
Well it’s clear you know what you want from your team and to actually make changes you need funds, I’d personally get rid of Ramsey or Hazard and get Silva or Di maria in. Or drop him to someone like Chadli and improve Austin, Theres lots of options however ultimately I think you have a solid team. Perhaps get rid of Isgrove if he’s bothering you.
I do kind of have a plan, which changes on a weekly/hourly basis. I’d like to get Fabregas in but I’m an arsenal fan, and I’m not sure I can have him kissing his Chelsea badge in my team haha.
I think Austin needs to go first of all. Pelle, Valencia, Cisse are all options I’m looking at?!
Yes as a fellow gooner it’s an awful sight but you have to be completely impartial in FF and if he’s getting the points you need him in your squad. I’d go for Pelle out of them just because of his form over the last 3 weeks and his fixtures are nice till gwk12.
Ulloa is also worth a mention once Leicesters fixtures improve.
45 from today with Costa (c), Di Maria and Silva to go so moderately happy-hopefully goals galore tomorrow!
How’d everyone else fair?
Got a square 30 which looks ok with Baines, ADM, Fab, Costa (c) and a sub to come in. Mannone is killing me as he did last season until I learned my lesson! Let’s see how many it takes me to learn it again this time!
I brought Heaton in for Krul and benched McGregor so happy days with the 2-2 draw haha!
You look sorted for tomorrow, just hoping Costa can keep more score ticking over!
Hey AT, nice score mate. I’m on 27 with Eriksen, Fabregas, Costa, Rooney, and my captain Adebayor on deck tomorrow. Did you end up playing Clyne or Taylor? I stuck with my gut and benched Taylor for Clyne and it worked out.
Hey Red – Your remaining players are likely to bring a lot of points so good luck for tomorrow!
I played Clyne, thanks for the advice!
Thanks AT, I hope so. Glad to hear he got you some points too!
AT, got 32 points with Ivan, Fab, ADM, Costa & captain Rooney to play. Got 6 Bertrand points on bench tho. LFC defence may have to go!!
B – Yeah I’m thinking the same. Moreno looks great going forwards but they have a serious problem at keeping the ball out! Having three Pool players is a risk I don’t wish to keep taking so I think Balotelli or Moreno will get the chop this week!
I had 2 LFC players till this morning. Went down to 1, but now thinking of going to none now! Not a happy bunny!
B – Bash , try 3.
It’s difficult to watch- hard to believe they took Tottenham apart so easily just a few short weeks ago!!
Dreamers…..get em ditched mate!
They are looking like that. That said Sterling got 10 and Ballotelli 4. Moreno is a problem as they cant defend for shit.
Someone needs to put their hand up as alternatives. Duff has done so. An eye on Rooney and Aguero too
Init – you shipping Ballotelli out? for who?
Yeah mate he’s dead to me! Liverpool look inept (sorry B-bash! Although I know you agree!). Rooney will be coming in I imagine.
Initt, I am at a loss mate! They looked awfull. You could tear us a new one next week tbh! Mr Cook having way too much fun on twitter this evening!
B Bash , its all too slow. 2 touches when there should be one. 5 when there should be two. Midfield unbalanced and offering no protection. Poor positional play at back. Too much space between Skrtel and Lovren which sadly makes me prefer Sagho and Lovren. 20m my arse.
No pace, no power. Unbalanced.
Is he indeed! Not been on twitter yet to be honest but I can only imagine! Let’s be fair he’s had to endure a year of it the other way so I can’t blame him for letting loose!
Ha , posted above and then read yours…
Anyone else slightly apprehensive about bringing Rooney in? I know LVG said he has privileges but I can’t see RVP being dropped despite his form and Falcao must surely get introduced given his toll on the wage bill. That would surely mean Rooney has to play deeper which will mean fewer points, no? He may get a few more assists but less points I would have thought..
AT – I would not be surprised if RVP was dropped. Or Mata with Rooney deep.
It is an interesting topic, I’m just not sure I want to commit to Rooney just yet. Then again, if he scores tomorrow, bye bye Balotelli! haha
same potentially. Id prefer Aguero as have no City and have DDg and ADM of Utd.
I don’t know what it means to have coverage of a certain team. Think you need coverage of top 5 teams, teams in form, teams with the best fixtures. However, some players are fixture proof. Look at a Sterling for instance, no matter how much Pool suck if he’s in the form he’s in now he can score/assist every match (if he plays :P).
Ramsey at the moment doesn’t seem to have that form, so I’m sort of glad I replaced him (especially since they have 2 really hard fixtures lined up, I think).
ANyway, I like Kun and he should be fixture proof. He however isn’t inury proof… the man of glass. Waiting to see what will happen tomorrow, depending on the outcome I will either go with Rooney to Falcao or Rooney to Kun and the path to it. 😛
Back from a heavy fckng night. Drama bitches. Post some monkeys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spread the love. Cher steals her hair from this monkey, I think.
