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!

Annnnnd that’s a massive 13 points from my “heavy hitters” Rooney, Fabregas, Costa, Eriksen, and Adebayor today, lol.
Raziel
Really happy I capped Rooney over Costa, hahaha. I was fearing this game… wow… Costa should’ve been send off to be honest.
Burnsy (RIP James Foley & Steven Sotloff)
Sorry Red I jinxed you.
RedVT
No worries at all Burnsy, that’s FPL for you. My captain Adebayor scored me twice as much as the Costa captainers got though. At least that’s something, ha!
I ended up with 40 points, my lowest this season, but I have a feeling many people did worse. On to the next week, we go again!
Burnsy (RIP James Foley & Steven Sotloff)
Also scored my lowest amount with 48 but I feel i’m going to have a solid week next time.

34 for me, with Adebayor as captain too. Wanyama on the bench
jamesimmo
– Costa (c)
– Left Clyne on the bench
– Didn’t do Terry to Baines
Fantastic. That’s 40 points. I’d have got 50+ if I didn’t change my team from last week! Useless.
Nice time in London though. How’s everyone else’s weekend been?
theswirly
Fantasy footy has been very poor (34 points, Adebayor captain, Wanyama on the bench) but actual weekend has been quality with a wedding in Glossop and then today in the Peak District.
Hoping both my weekend and the fantasy footy can be decent next weekend – dread to think how many positions I’ve dropped from this round.
jamesimmo
Same here swirly – great weekend in real life – poor one here.

Alright guys. Feel I need Di Maria in my team still (even after they lost to the mighty Foxes). I have 2 FT and am thinking of doing Naismith -> Welbeck and Ramsey -> Di maria. Thoughts? Is Ramsey to vital to drop thats the question. The other option would be a 352 and drop Ivanovic to accommodate Di Maria.
Also is it worth a -4 to swap out Guzan?
Decisions…
Cheers!
Raziel
Shrugs taking Ramsey out and still considering to take a hit for Guzan. Where are your priority’s? Looking at your team now, have you used your WC not long ago? Hahaha. It’s like the complete dreamteam.
Fally
You don’t think Ramsey -> Di Maria is a good shout then no? Realisiticly a GK is getting 10 points max (unless a pen save) Outfield can easily get that so GK is my last priority. WC week 3.
Raziel
Yes, goalies won’t get you many points but yet you are prepared to take a hit and take a goalie out?
I took out Ramsey for Sterling and Mata for DI Maria 2 weeks ago. Was a good choice. So I can’t go against it. I think you either need to keep Guzan or use a FT on him, a hit is … not so smart…. I never take a hit for a defender/goalie unless I do it to afford a must have striker/mid…
My first hit was 2 weeks ago (like I said before) and it got me Sterling and Di Maria. Good choice, I felt change coming and it came. 😉
Fally
Cheers man I think I’m going to go for it!

Hey guys good couple of game tonight not so good on the fantasy side mind.
Does anyone know what ulloa’s price is doing, anyone know if it likely to go up tonight?
Raziel
Average score top 10k is 38.4, average score random sample is 36.5! My score of 46 isn’t half that bad.
Jeet T4
Who would you guys transfer out for Costa
Balotelli or Rooney ?
Raziel
Hard one, at the moment the only Pool person I am interested in is Sterling. And Rooney, decide for yourself. He wasn’t half that bad today, just to deep. Per game he has the potential to get 1-4 assists and at least 1 on target.
Raziel
Really didn’t get why Rooney was still very deep when Januzaj came on. If Falcao is subbed I like to see his spot replaced by Rooney.
TheDreamers
Raz- didn’t lvg say he didn’t fancy Rooney upfront or something. Think Red said it earlier.
Raziel
Yeah, he said Falcao is the better striker. Which is true. But once Falcao is out Rooney is the best choice. Janu freaking zaj was playing next to RvP before Mata came in. SOOOOOOOOOOOO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
full time
Balotelli for me Jeet
