Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 8 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16
GW8 is live! We start the week off with a lunch time affair between Palace and West Brom. Palace brings the almost all useable, but none consistent enough to be used in FPL mids versus the Baggies all useable defenders as long as they are playing away. After that early kick off we follow it up with five, 3pm fixtures. The Villans battle Barca B (Stoke City) in an early relegation battle, newly promoted Watford pay a visit to the Wilson-less Bournemouth side, in other action Newcastle take on a Manchester City side that is playing like…well, Newcastle. The Canaries tangle with the recently perch dropped Leicester side after Mahrez and company got beat down at the hands of Arsenal. 3rd place West Ham gets their chance to fill their boots when they face the criminally inept Sunderland defence. In the last fixture of the day we see the strangely enough fun (funny at times) as heck Mourinho side face off against Southampton who is known to at times get into up and down affairs. Expect a 0-0 now.
On Sunday we have three fixtures. The Merseyside Derby gets us going. A surprising Everton side takes on the evil genius Brendan Rodgers. By evil we mean funny and by genius we also mean funny. After Rodgers finishes up with his party trick formations, we get some more when LVG takes his first place side to visit a 4th place side. Any idea who could be in 4th? Just guess, it is very obvious… that’s right Arsenal!! Wenger will feel relieved knowing he has already taken control of his ultimate objective and undoubtedly will have proved naysayers wrong again. Who needs a striker? Not Wenger! In the other fixture the Swans play host to the resurgent Spurs. Spurs of course are in 6th place, perfectly in line for a Europa spot, again.

Fun Fact
While almost everyone has captained Aguero, Red has captained Payet this GW. Now let us check his captain success history.
GW7: Sanchez = 40 points
GW6: Mahrez = 22 points
GW5: Mahrez = 22 points
Will he get his captain haul again?
But still, I cant vouch for his sanity cause he has Zouma in his team.
Haha, Zouma seemed like a good idea at the time B when it looked like Chelsea might be turning things around. In hindsight not so much!!
Well that’s next week’s sub injured.
Jonny Evans off with a hamstring injury.
This GW has started very sweetly.
I know you get off on other peoples bad luck, sometimes it’s wise to keep that shit to yourself though, B. HAHA!
Don’t know how many people on this site have Sako or Evans (probably not that much), but I bet they hate your guts. I know I would right about now if I had either one. 😉
Also, you’re jinxing your own team by doing this. These type of words will always come to haunt you. 😉
A lot of people have JEvans here, because they were smart enough to save 0.2M for the extra bonus potential that he came with. Oh well, we know how that went.
It is very annoying with this crap. Hasn’t been so bad this season but last season was ridiculous.
Aaah yes, you jinxing your own team wouldn’t be much of a problem to me. But our teams are way too similar at the moment, so if you get hurt, so will I. :p
EBC, just noticed you have a star on the bench. FLETCHER! ZOMG. I’d be worried. 😉
WTH EBC!
Holy shit Raz our team is identical, except I have Payet and you have KDB. Damn!
Next GW if I do Pedro > KDB and you do Pedro > Payet, we would be like FPL twins.
I could live to regret it. You talked me into transferring Toure out though.
Fletcher is currently on course for 3 points. Which is better than my captain picks in most weeks this season
Pedro to score a hatty today though B. 😉
Hmmm, 5 shots on target for Crystal, 0 for WBA. PULLIS PULLING A PULLIS!
FUCK! Chester is 4.8m. I’m still 0.1m short to get him. Davies it probably will be.
Fletcher causing Palace problems.
Myhill on 500 saves though. :p
I know. Kicking myself for not bringing him in at the start.
Hard fixtures…not an issue for Tony ten defenders.
Really can’t say Butland has done poorly, his defence has though. They can’t keep cleanshits. That’s what you get when you have a team with 4 or 5 ego’s infront of your defenders, they don’t help defend. They always concede. By the way EBC, sorry to hear you’re a Sunderland fan. Team will probably relegate this year, they are just too bloody weak (the material they have at end). Just 1 or 2 players that are up to the EPL level (Pantsu and Lens).
Yeah, but on the wrong end of the pitch 😉
Just noticed Anders Lindegaard now is WBA player. He has a career that sucked monkeyballs. Last time he regularly played was 5 years ago in Denmark. I remember him saying he didn’t like vdSar taking his spot. Dude has only appeared in 19 games and at WBA again is second or third choice. ZOMG! So bad. Wasteful.
He came to WB to be a third choice keeper. Explains his career.
Reminds me a bit of Vorm that went to Spurs with Hugo Lloris as first goalie. He should’ve just stayed at Swansea. I think, if I was good enough I’d probably want to play every week instead of warming a bench. Aah well. So much Dutch talent also moving abroad too early, wasting careers. Nathan Ake was one of the bigger Dutch talents at the age of 16, moved to England (Chelsea) and has only made a few appearances. Now he’s warming the bench at Watford at the age of 19 or 20. In Holland he would’ve played and he would probably have developed into a proper player. Idiots.
Gardner is on for Berahino.
Feck off Tony!
I hope Palace scores a dozen goals.
Why do the other things make you happy and not this one? Saido Berahino isn’t even in your team. Is it because he’s African like you? Or because you like him as a player. On that note, don’t you like Evans or Sako? :p
Im not African.
Pulis is fecking closing this game.
Unreal.
is Berahino hurt, or is this a Pulis “defensive” move?
F**k off pulis, that 4pt hit hasn’t gone too well.
Serves you right for getting a striker from a team that hates to score goals.
It was either him or ighalo, neither like scoring that much!
