Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Game-week 9 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16
GW9 is live! The International break is over and what better way to celebrate it than a Europa derby. That’s right perennial European patsies get us going with a lunch time affair as Klopp makes his debut vs a Spurs side who are lurking right outside their coveted Europa qualifying spot. We follow the Normal One’s debut with six 3pm fixtures. The “Special One” Sherwood takes on Average Jose at Stamford Bridge, we also see future English manager Pardew play host to the Hammers. In other action the Toffees look to continue where Arsenal left off as they play host to the recently exposed Manchester “Milli Vanilli” United. The Cherries look to take advantage of a weakened City at the Ethiad, while Raineri continues to f**k with us all with his team sheets as they visit Southampton and the New Giroud, Graziano Pelle. In the last of the 3pm games Big Sam and his latest chewing gum will look to take advantage of a West Brom side who has been leaking in goals recently. We finish our Saturday off with the Gooners in all their early season glory looking to continue their great domestic run versus Watford before they embarrass themselves in the Champions League again.
On Sunday we have one fixture…sort of. The Canaries visit Newcastle in a game that will mostly be ignored by all, and should be.
Monday sees the end of the game-week when the Swans (winless in last 4) look to get back on track against a Stoke side who, after going winless in their first six, have now won their last two.
Don’t forget to also share any experiences if you are participating in any or several of the FanTeam.com leagues. Remember scores update in real time, so don’t be shy and let us know how much you are in line to win.

1 FT, 3.4 itb.
Not happy with half my team, any early advice?
Hazardous to KdB and you’re fine. ^o^
Scrap that. Didn’t notice you not having Sanchez. Sanchez sort of over KdB still. ^o^
Hazard –> Sanchez stands out to me.
+1 here
Thanks all
But RAZ the most. ^o^
Why? Because he was the first to reply, wronged his right and admits he was wrong in the first place. ^o^
SANCHEZ!
Giroud with the second.
Both supplied by Ozil
59 points With Naughton and Muniesa left to play
if Muniesa plays
hope 3 x 2%= 6 BP s for Captain choiceCosta
3 BP for Vardy
1 BP for Payet and Sanchez each
that will take me to 70
and a hit i took. reduces it to 66
might not be wow. but am happy
Yeah if be happy enough with that. Feels decent. All out on 60 here inc. bonus and no hits which I’m happy with too all things considered. 63 is my usual benchmark but this seasons been odd to judge that by.
Yeah this season has been such annoying. wonder things are getting to normality with big names winning back our trust
but must say this is Mahrez and Payet,s season all the way
they just can’t stop scoring
Last couple of weeks they kind of have with Kun and Sanchez finally showing. KDB is flourishing, Costa may have turned a corner today. There’s only really Hazard left. Rest is about finding the next level down players in terms of price and yeah you’re right those 2 are essential I think. Well Mahrez has been anyway and probably will be again assuming he stops getting interrupted by international fatigue. I’d put Pelle and Vardy in that next bracket too. All in that’s a fairly solid basis of a team. Just need to figure out who can actually consistently keep clean sheets next!
75 (-4) after bonuses with Butland left to play!
How did you all get on?
68 (-8)
Anyone left to play?
Think it’s a typo there. Link shows 60 -8 not 68. And nobody left to play. Sad face endorsed 😉
No no … Its 68 ( -8). 60 was pre bonus points.
No no, it’s not! Anyway, I’m intrigued by your GW4. What was the rationale behind that?
Well my rank was plumetting way past the 1 mil mark. So to get back into the next GW with a higher rank I needed a few extra points. To get my rank back to a decent position. So played bench boost even though it was with 2 players. Also cuz I had taken an 8 point hit. Assuming thats what you were intrigued about
I was just pulling your tails a bit, only joking mate. Stood out when I looked at your team as having been played so I went into it to see why. Still an odd decision though!
Yeah …
Bit odd but it helped. Happy with my rank as of now but hopefully Ayew shouldnt score a hattrick :/
63-4 with Butland left to play. ^o^
Happy. Especially since you have to consider I transferred in Costa and van Dijk for a hit. They replaced Kun and Gomez, two of the four problems solved. None of the alternatives in my mind did as well as van Dijk. ^o^
Raz that was a great call on Van Dick and pissed on my Bertrand – hats off to you my fave Dutchie!
71pts (BPS included) with Gomis left to play…
73 it is. ^o^
Fancy Gomis to get back on track this week and that game feels like a decent enough opportunity. Hope so for the site teams sake anyway. Personally, I hope he gets sent off #confused
Sent off 😮 ?!
?
Why
BTW – > main ML rival got 95pts…
Activated his WC this GW and brought in both Costa & Bony…oh, yes….and had Sanchez as Cpt…
I need to mention that he played w/out Kun from the start of the season, too…
Rank : Him=43K ; me=124K…
#gofigure
Bite your tongue Init! I benched Ighalo over him and Hoolahan so I’d have guys still to go after today. Gotta keep hope alive over the weekend if possible!
Bitten. But will laugh if he does now
Then cry. Then laugh. I dunno. Got no main rivals with him so hoping he nails it. Hate having no players left with 2 days to go, takes the air out of the balloon. Knew this was coming when I looked at the games last week. I’ve been guilty of actually doing transfers in the past based upon having players left to keep the interest up. I’ve even done the FanTeam 5-a-side Swans v Stoke thing just to keep me interested!
Haha, I think about that stuff too Init and love having Sunday and Monday players if possible. Nothing better than a Monday captain pick that saves your ass (I’m looking at you Benteke week 2 !!).
I actually almost put the armband on Gomis just for that reason but I chickened out. In hindsight it couldn’t have been much worse than captain 4 points (total) Pelle though!
67 (-4) with Butland to play.
Annoyed I went with Pelle rather than Bony/Costa, but with that in mind it’s a good score.
65(-8) with Gomis and Naughton left. KDB and Pelle disappointed me, as I transferred them in.
78 (-4) all done. Could even have been better but bottled the Costa captain call. Cant complain too much though
No point in hiding, I guess… 44 (-4) with Butland and Gomis to go.
I’m still happy with my team long term, but days like today are hard. Had Pelle, Martial, and KdB, their teams score a combined 10 goals and I get one goal and one assist. Just great.
Good man Machos. It happens. Most go off and hide when it does. It is what it is, always next week mate. Gomis could yet make it a decent week. Here’s hoping for you.
A busted Pelle captain pick has me pretty low scoring too this week Machos. I’m on 50 (-4) with Whittaker, Hoolahan, and Gomis to go.
Can’t get it right every week, and during the start of the season I would have bitten your hand off for a 50+ gameweek, so I’ll take it. We’ve still some players to go yet so who knows how it’ll end up.
Cheers, guys. The hardest part is explaining my weekend mood swings to the wife! :winktongue:
I need some serious mental help. Decided to bring Hazard in this week, don’t have Sanchez. Plus I had Vardy on my bench. Should i get rid of Hazard after 1 week. Why didn’t he play. I did have C on Costa and I’ve kept Stirling.
What do you think about Hazard, surely he will come good?
Just got dropped I think. Not heard anything about a knock or whatever and came on so must just be Jose trying to shake things up. I’d switch him for Sanchez for sure.
I’m going to make an early transfer, get him out and Sanchez in.
Willing to take the risk of injury because value will shift a lot and I definitely want him out.
Guys my team
what u think suggestions?
thinking of kolarov out but for who and maybe change coutiniho
yaco – pick your team for next week and then post that pic. Makes it easier. At face value I’d say Coutinho to Ozil or KDB
