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.

If I do Pedro to Mane will Pedro do a Mane and Mane do a Pedro, like when I did Mane to Pedro? Discuss.
TheDreamers
Do it
FPLManiac
I hear that Mane might not be be playing gw9 because of some international commitments.. trying to validate it as i look to get rid of Sterling..
FPLManiac
Senegal Play Guinea on 16th and 23rd October.. Looks like Mane might be missing Saints GW9 match against Leicester..
Tommy Tilt
Thanks Maniac! So in answer to my question, probably!
The B
Please do it, cause I am holding Pedro for Villa. Please, do this favor.
JimBobJay
91 with bonus points. Still have Darmian, Gomis and Martial to play. Transferred Yaya to KDB this morning ????
TheDreamers
Cracking rugby game
James101
First 100+ point Gameweek this year!
In kun we trust?
TheDreamers
James – trust or fear?
James101
Perhaps both?
The B
I think your team is not linked right.
James101
Not done that in ages.
So it’s prob someone else’s.
I’ll get it done.
Meanwhile I’m in Bench’s banterbury Prem league.
How d’you do mate?
The B
Looking fine in mini leagues. 81 with 3 remaining.
Congrats though. 100 is a massive score. A hulk arrow coming your way.
James101
Thanks B
Silvers
Top draw James how many you on 93 for me with 2 to play Aguerooooooooo .
James101

James101

TheDreamers
95 here with 3 (Ddg, Alder, Sanchez ) to play. The tonne hopefully +
charanraj
Do things getting back to normal after all…: D Sanchez and Kun both giving what is expected of them… 3gw lucky captain selection. At 64 points without bonus. Kun captain. And 5 players to go…: D going to top of mini league. Happy days. #Kunaguero. What’s happening with others?
TheDreamers
Char – link your team
charanraj
I have linked it. Just check if you can see it.
charanraj
.No. I guess I did it wrong. Tell me once how to link the team..:p it’s a very silly Qs I know..:p
inittowinit
It’s linked mate
inittowinit
Unless you’ve fluked upon the other Charan Raj in the 3.5 million users
charanraj
Hahah.. Yes.. I guess it’s done. For a moment I thought I did it wrong..:p trying to catch up in the Insanity mini league. Init You are also there I guess in that league ? You also had a pretty good week…
charanraj
I couldn’t see the match. On a holiday in Dubai. Best part people calling me and telling that kun scored 5goals. What else you can ask for…:p????????
Interman
79 points, Alexis S, Martial, Dier, Mignolet and Barkley left to play… what u think folks?
Wafflez
Not bad at all
I’m thinking of just letting my team die and not log in after this gw….
66 points with fabianski, Sanchez, Darmian and Martial left, C on payet instead of kun 😛
inittowinit
That’s not too bad Wafflez considering you have 4 still to go. I’ve seen some horrible scores today. The leader in my brother in laws ML is on 7.
Wafflez
Wasn’t that serious, my best score this season so I’m quite pleased
TheDreamers
Init – 7?
Can you share it? That be nice t o see
inittowinit
I just found a 6 and an 8 in my own ML too! The 6 is from someone near the bottom though so whether they are still active even at this stage I’m not sure. The 7 is from someone winning a work ML that is defo active though. The 6 and 8 are on my link in the Bag O Tell Prem league. Here’s the 7…
TheDreamers
The no trfs says a lot though
inittowinit
Happy days Interman. You’d do well not to top a ton there.
HL [Dr. Hannibal Lecter]
Evening All..
82pts with Darmian/Mata/Sanchez & Gomis still to play…
Considering I wanted to press on the Triple Cpt button today for the 1st time in the season – I’m kind a nervous Kun had his game of the season today…
inittowinit
Game of his life more like HL! Sensible move all along is to keep that chip for a DGW. For those that nailed it today then brilliant and obviously a touch lucky but it was still risky. You’d be happy with a 50 on a DGW treble and even then it’s unlikely. Apparently 20k did actually do it.
Horse
Hi Innit.
When you settled on your WC team did you keep a Toon defender? 😉
HL [Dr. Hannibal Lecter]
Init – It’s easy to be a hero after the war…people would say…
But, in reality – I really had the nervous fingers syndrome today…
It was more because of Sanchez exploding last gw…
When all logic said Kun should be cpt-ed that gw, bcs of his history with the Spurs…the leader in my ML cpt-ed Sanchez…we all know how that ended up…
So, I kind a believed this is Kun’s week to shine and wanted to get back on track with the triple cpt option…
Especially because, my rival does not own him at all !!!
Don’t get me wrong…
I’m ecstatic bcs of Kun’s 5 goals…
Climbed 800K places just bcs of this…
But when I think what would’ve happened if I pressed that triple cpt pts button…..
Oh, well…..
inittowinit
That was quite poetic HL! Or at least heartfelt. Either way just be glad that you had him as many didn’t and to capo him too then even more so.
No Horse I didn’t!
