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.

Rankings updated – up to 60710
Feels nice to back into the top 100k – top 10k here I come….. I hope
Had Sanchez. Scored 110. Dropped 20k today…
Same here innit, went from 80k to 95k. Still, was 1.6m a few weeks back. So not all is bad.
Yeah true! Not complaining, at least a mil better off than where I was a few weeks back! Just felt odd to be on a player like that and yet get knocked back so far! Still, good week and if I hadn’t WC’d I’d be on about 70 tops I guess.
106pts this week & I still lost my F247 H2H match!
Didn’t even know he had one. So we do!
Back to normality for me today. 3 points from 5 players. Ouch
115 points, stormer!
Looking to swap Depay for Sanchez. Currently thinking this:
Depay & Sagna > Sanchez & 4.4 def.
Any suggestions? Is Hangeland likely to continue playing?
Could also get rid of Darmian for a hit to allow me to replace him and Sagna with 5.0 defenders….
I would say hangeland could be the best option, he should keep his place as palace kept 2 CS’s while he played.
Hi guys,
Need some help! Really keen to bring in de Bruyne and ship out the injured YYT. Only trouble is, that’ll leave me with a £1.6m shortfall and so I need to downgrade elsewhere. WIth my team below, what would you do?
1. Eight-point hit: YYT > de Bruyne, Redmond > Wanyama, Cresswell > defender who is £4.8m or less (£0.5m left over to change McCarthy to Butland next GW) – please recommend who!
2. Four-point hit: YYT > de Bruyne, Cresswell > Browning/Danny Simpson (£0 left over)
3. Anything else you can recommend?!
Looks like YYT is going down in price tonight and so I don’t want to miss the boat! I would have £0.1m more to spend if it wasn’t for De Bruyne going up in price last night, but I wanted to hold out for the results of the matches today.
If you are set on KdB then I would either do 2 or instead of cresswell,sell hart for Hennessy(should be a starter for palace now after 2 cs)
If you really want de bruyne and willing to do a -4hit then I would do yaya and hart out for de bruyne and Hennessey. However I would keep yaya if I was you and save the ft.
Yawns. Bloody international break is a f-ing headache. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:
