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.

got 80 points so far, with eriksen mata and dier to play today. Spurs to win 3-0
lukealike
Costa returns next game week, so judging on sanchez and aguero. Is he also to score a hatti? Not saying he is in the same league as the them but, maybe.
mahelmy
Chelsea is so bad
lukealike
Is a valid point, but people like Oscar and Willian seem ok. Willian’s probably not a bad bet to be honest, he is always there to help Mourinho out when the rest are utter garbage. Same as Oscar, and even Schurrle when he was there. Under appreciated…
Raziel
Costa is key for this Chelsea. Didn’t Chelsea beat Arsenal with him in the team?
constantine
mahelmy, its time for costa to strike now. delusioned mourinho would go on a rampage now. planning to get hazard out and get costa in myself.
mahelmy
do you think i need wild card or not ?
i am afraid of price rises and in the same time the team is not so bad
midfielders are the hassle (Sanchez – KDB – silva – mata – payet – tadic )
shall i get Pele or ighalo and spend in defense or midfield ?
currently most of the teams not getting clean sheet , so is this mean not to spend in defenders?
Raziel
Yeah I have actually been thinking about that. Won’t waste money on defence. Lately the defenders versus big teams seem to be doing well. United is shit and they don’t concede that much goals. Shit, Blind is in their defence, lol.
Ps. Remember a stat from Blind last season, very few passes forward as midfielder, as defender he is ranked highest with the most successful passes forward. Funny. Still not a real defender yet though.
Raziel
On that note, there are quite a few players missing in that selection, it is a headache.
lukealike
not sure about your team to suggest WC or not.
Best midfielders at the moment are
Walcott, Sanchez, Payet, De Bruyne, Mane, Silva probably
And probably these guys depending on next results
Mata, Eriksen maybe Willian
Mane better choice then tadic, he is integral to all their attacks. Pairing him with Pelle is going to get a lot of points
Walcott will score pretty much weekly and is a much cheaper alternative to Sanchez
If you have Aguero I would just get De Bruyne and forget Silva, or vice versa. 3 attackers I dont like much even if its city
I think Spurs will be good, and once again Eriksen is intergal to their attacks. Although maybe Lamela is more in form at the moment. But in regards to his previous seasons his form will drop eventually. He is probably just on a high at the moment getting Messis place in Arge line up and being in good form at moment. Chadli last season was a great cheap choice will 11 goals, so oevrlooked. But he isnt firing yet. See how Spurs today, I expect a good result.
Mata depends on how he does today I guess, see how ManU play agsint decent oponents. I like Depay but to hie proves himself he is not worthy a place, he can only seem to score or assist agsint lesser opponents so far.
Payet, his previous records speak for themself. Same as De Bruyne
Raziel
Depay wil come good with some delay. Remember him scoring a few goals at the worldcup. His decision making and finishing seem to be way off at the moment though. Opposite of Mata whom is clinical.
Raziel
Most awesome mid in the epl at the moment is de Bruyne. Love the kid, the vision, scoring ability, speed.
Raziel
I pretty much would watch a game just to see his passing and intelligence. Even more so than Kun and Kun scored 5 yesterday, lol.
Raziel
Owwwwwwwwwwww ffs, the joke is on Mourinho. Haha. Man of the season for City so far is Kevin de Bruyne. It’s like he has been playing years for City.
lukealike
yea im gutted I planend to bring him in last week, already got aguero. Instead I got in Erkisen lol, lets see how that goes :/ he needs to be good today for that to make sense.
And now DeBruyne has gone up in price its scerwed my transfer plans over now.
Raziel
Liverpool set to lose the Derby. 😉
lukealike
I think Liverpool can score, but they probably wont win. If they win its probably luck or bad ref decisions
Raziel
Forgot Everton are playing with a fixed backline, 3 out of the 4 shouldn’t be starting if everybody was fit. So there is a possibility for Liverpool if Sturridge is on fire.
The B
Can lost his shit pretty quick there.
Raziel
Always knew he was a ”can”. 😉
Raziel
Ings scored, 0-1 Liverpool. Glad it was him that scored. 😉
Raziel
Milner assist, I think.
