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!

Hi guys,
So (like many) I need to get rid of Rooney, I was also thinking to sack off Sanchez (1 pt in the last 2 games)
So my question is with money not really an object. Who should I look at bringing in?
If I bring in Kun it will leave 9.1 for a mid (I’m thinking Silva might go well with him)
Or I could look at Falcao as a straight swap for Rooney (barring price changes)
or RVP (2 goals in the last 2) which would leave 8.8 for a mid.
1ft 0.5 itb
Current team
mannone
pieters – taylor – duff
siggy – cesc – di maria – sanchez
rooney – pelle – costa
krul – cattermole – dumnett – hooiveld
Not planning to change until after the CL but wondered what thoughts you might have
thanks
Ruben
Kun and Sterling.
photek
just 0.1 short for both
Ruben
that’s so unlucky. Falcao and Sterling.
TomW13
how does Dier – Moore sound
Ruben
that’s a great transfer!
photek
Moore has 1 home game against goal shy Burnley followed by 2 away games to Newcastle and Swansea, i can’t see a lot of points in those games
Ruben
He”s cheap so he can be used as a benchwarmer when he has tough fixtures.
TomW13
thats the plan Ruben. I want to get in quick because i fell like Moore will rise in price soon. Confirm now?
TomW13
i also plan to take a hit with Rooney-Aguero. Next week i plan to get Sterling in but i am not sure how to unless i go for someone else instead of Aguero.
TomW13
Heres the team
Ruben
Yes that looks great! I’d take the whole Sterling deal later. Right now I’d say Fabregas out – Sterling in. But don’t worry about that now. Many people will tell you to wait until after the midweek CL before you bring in Aguero, but if you can’t wait because of a potential raise in Moore, I’d say confirm it now.
Kop Warrior
I don’t know how reliable the price change websites currently are, but I doubt Moore is in danger of a price rise anytime soon.
TomW13
Cheers Ruben. i will most likely go
Dier – Moore
Rooney – Dzeko
then next week
Dyer – Chadli
Schneiderlin – Sterling
NIN
TomW13 – There’s really not any worry of Moore rising in value. I’d go as far as to say 0% chance.
Silverback
Ok need to replace JWP to A Davis B cork C Jedinak D Dorrans ???? or another
Ruben
Jedinak is a great option, but if you’re just going to bench him then I’d rather go for 4.4 Cork
NIN
Are you limited to 5m ish? If so then i’d probably go with Krancjar for his set pieces.
Bigpopz
Hey y’all.
Doing 3 changes this week, DDG, Moreno, Balo.
Got 2 FT so I’m taking a hit to pull this off.
I know Pool have got WBA next, but tbh they looked impressive v Burnley so don’t think it’ll be easy for the reds.
These are my 3 replacements.
Manone, Bertrund, Aguero.
Risky going with double soton I know, but I’ve got 5.2m left for a defender…. Soton & Bertrund are in red hot form, so why not..?
Please feel free to fill the blanks with any better options…ta.!
Bigpopz
Or
Maybe keep Moreno & the do Pieters to 4.6m Taylor …?
Ruben
Well as you already have Southampton coverage in Clyne, I’d go for Neil Taylor instead.
Bigpopz
Ruben.
What ..
Moreno to Taylor
Or
Pieters to Taylor.
Ruben
That’s such a tough decision. They both have nice fixtures ahead. Although I’m a Pool supporter I’d strongly advice against having Pool defenders so go with Moreno to Taylor.
NIN
BP – I would get a Swansea defender instead of Bertrand. The other two moves are fine.
TomW13
Dzeko or Aguero? If i go Dzeko i can get Sterling next week
Bigpopz
Tom.
Aguero.
TomW13
But i really want Sterling
Bigpopz
Tom.
Then do Dzeko then.
If you do go Aguero how much left..?
Can u afford Aguero & Chadl / Siggy / Dyer / Tadic.
TomW13
If i go Rooney – Aguero i am -2. Dzeko i have 3.5k to upgrade Schneiderlin
Ruben
The only problem I have with Dzeko is that he has 2 goals so far and they were both netted against Hull. That doesn’t scream of consistency. That being said, Dzeko is a monster and could score out of nothing.
Sterling is my favourite player and he does look dangerous at the moment, so I’d go with Dzeko so you can get Sterling next week.
TomW13
yeah i was leaning that way mate. Cheers. Dzeko may not even play for me so i will definitely go him
Colriles
Hey all – another subpar week for me and injuries and suspensions piling up. Obviously Rooney and Ramsey this week’s problems. Need to raise 0.5 to go Rooney > Falcao. Aguero too far out of reach for me without a WC. Thinking DDG>Mannone and Roo > Falcao for a -4 and play 4-3-3 for a week. Any other suggestions? Cheers!
1FT, 0 itb
DDG, Krul
Terry, Clyne, Wilson, Duff, Chester
Fab, Sterling, Siggy, Ramsey, Barton
Costa, Rooney, Ulloa
Ruben
Are you planning on going 4-3-3? Or are you taking a hit to transfer Ramsey out? DDG > Mannone is a good transfer, so is Roo > Falcao.
Ruben
Oh I didn’t see the 4-3-3 in your comment at first haha.
NIN
Colriles – I would lose Ramsey and Rooney for Aguero and X mid. Not sure what sort of money you’d have for a mid.
Colriles
NIN- would have max of 7.3 for a mid and I don’t see anybody in that range to warrant a hit. Who would you suggest? Schneid, Dyer, Chadli, Herrera (last 2 with knocks; Dyer would double up Swans mids) 0.2 short for Tadic.
NIN
Schneiderlin, Downing or Herrera, if fit. Maybe Chadli, but i’m not fully convinced by him just yet. He rarely completes the 90.
Ruben
Tbh I think £5.6 Downing is a fantastic choice with QPR and Burnley in the coming fixtures. That would leave you with extra dosh for next weeks transfer. I have Downing in my team for GW7:
Colriles
Cheers guys. A lot to chew on all week.
