Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 6 – Fantasy Premier League 2014/15
The deadline bell has rung and your decisions are final – starting XI, captain and order of your subs has been decided and there ain’t no turning back. GW6 is a strange old week, it starts great with an exciting Saturday and slowly disintegrates to a potential bore-fest. However, fantasy points are available all the way through, so there’s enough action to keep us going. Just.
We kick off with the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Saturday lunchtime – anything to keep those scousers out of the pub before the game – sadly, they’ll probably do a Friday all-nighter instead, completely defeating the point of starting the game early, but whatever. Then at 3pm we have six matches – Chelsea host Villa, Palace welcome Leicester, Man City go to Hull, Man Utd take on West Ham, ‘Arry takes his Rangers back to one of his old haunts down on the South coast and Sunderland do battle with Swansea. Early evening, its derby no.2 as Arsenal take on Spurs at the Emirates, always one to look forward to. And that’s the fun really, though on Sunday Burnley go to WBA and if you still haven’t lapsed into a self-induced coma by Monday then Stoke vs Newcastle may just finish you off.
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 GW6 from all at FF247!

50 points this week (46 after reducing the 4 point hit)
quite happy with it.
but this week will become brilliant if stoke concede as a LOT of my rivals have pieters in their teams.
especially my banterbury rival who is 5 points behind me right now.
i’ll be a newcastle fan for tomorrow it seems 😛
duthers
46 seems sound, I’m currently on 35 with Pieters to play (I’m a Stoke fan I guess 😉

jasprit,
Seems a good haul to me on a quiet week, well done!
jasprit
thanks guys. pretty happy with it.
thank god some people talked me out of captaining welbeck 😛
Ruben
Well done mate! I ended with 44!
Wisdom saved my ass with a nice clean sheet today.
sniperviper
I scored 53 this week after a stuttering start to the season so happy with that. In the words of Alan Partridge, “Kiss my face!!”
Mr Bean
Currently have Green and Guzan in goal. Do i use my FT this week to bring in Schmeichel (Burnley at home and great fixtures after) or play one of Green/Guzan and have 2 FT for next week? Happy with the rest of my team.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Mr Bean
If you are happy with the rest of your squad then why not?
I’d leave it to Friday though to see if you have any injuries to deal with after the European matches but it may be us the quiet week you after after to make the change back there.
Ripcurl82
For Rooney/Ramsey
Kun/Tadic
Pelle/Silva
Welbeck/Silva
Thanks
Kop Warrior
Kun/Tadic for me.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Ripcurl,
Would you not consider holding Ramsey on the bench? Wenger says he thinks he’s only out of the Chelsea match, which is hard enough itself. Then Hull, Sunderland, Burnley & Swansea after that.
But Kun & Tadic if you are not interested in that.
Ripcurl82
Problem is I have Mutch lol
Ruben
This is my current team for GW7.
Ruben
Quick question. Fabregas, Silva, Di Maria or Gerrard?
gkw
Sad to say, ADM out of those 4. And I’ve got all the others but not him!
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Evening everyone.
Not that I have him currently (so you can tell me to get stuffed if you wish !), but are there any Ramsey owners going to sit tight and bench him?
Seems to me he’ll only miss a tough Chelsea away fixture due to this injury. Nice games after that if you check.
Ruben
Having 9.0 sitting on the bench is a bit much in my opinion. I don’t have him either.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Ruben,
Yeah but it seems only for one week.

Physioroom guy suggests at least 2-3 weeks at least on twitter.
Kop Warrior
And he gets far more right than wrong, but two weeks might still means he only misses the Chelsea game.

Ah, I forgot about the international break.

For a week or even a few GWs, it’s ok in this game to bench expensive players. The main thing is to be able to field 11. Because: even the super-best players don’t average more than about 7pts per GW, and you should make sure even your weakest players are averaging close to 3. A good 9m player would typically average around 5, so on average keeping him on the bench and fielding a weaker player instead will “cost” around 2pts per GW. And a FT is “worth” 4pts, so it’s not worth wasting – especially as it would cost another FT to bring him back in.
Ruben
You make many valid points here mate. I surrender! No, but seriously, that’s all true. I’d keep him as long as I’d have players worth fielding.
Kop Warrior
Nope, I’m getting rid of him GP. Despite scoring in the first two games he hasn’t really impressed me.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Kop,
That’s fair enough then boss. As long as you’d heard Wenger’s comments on it.
Who is lined up then mate?
Kop Warrior
Not sure yet mate!
I’ll be getting rid of Rooney as well, so I’ve plenty of cash to spend
gkw
There are so many decent replacements in Ramsey’s price-range, you’re spoilt for choice really.
Mitro
Kop – I agree he has looked poor over the past few weeks!! His injury has just accelerated my plans!! Who you putting in his place?
Kop Warrior
Mitro, I dont know mate but I wont make any changes until after the European games.
Mitro
I’m going to hold off as long as I can, looking at silva or tadic at the minute!!
Kop Warrior
Both excellent options with relatively low ownership.
Ruben
I can see that you don’t own Fabregas. Any reason for this? I need to know who to pick. Fabregas, Di Maria, Silva or Gerrard. I have coverage from all of their teams already.
Ruben
This was meant for Kop.
Ruben
My team:
Kop Warrior
I just haven’t gotten round to bringing him in, although I’ll certianly consider him now.
I’d probably go with ADM out of the 4 you’ve listed.
Ruben
Kop – Thank you
deserteagle
hi guys.. need opinions on who to transfer this week. thanks!
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
deserteagle,
Not much desperately needing done but I think anyone with Eriksen, needs to look at his numbers so far this season. Again yesterday, he assisted the assister (Lamela) for the goal. Only the one goal at Sunderland has me a bit worried.
How about either Tadic or Mane as replacement? I get you have Cork already but Southampton have some good fixtures to come and I believe Tadic or Mane will be bigger hitters than Cork.
deserteagle
totally agree with you on Erikson. I also wanted Baines in.. or should i wait until GW8 to transfer him in?
