Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1
[polldaddy poll=10352983]
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1. And welcome back indeed, welcome to the start of yet another long season, welcome to another 38 weeks of joy, despair, trials, tribulations and challenges. We hope that you will once again enjoy joining us as we go through all the emotions together, share our thoughts and experiences, rejoice when our players score points, commiserate when they don’t, cry when they come off after 59 minutes and laugh when they concede in the last minute. Or something to that effect anyway.
GW1 sees us kick off with a Friday night game as the Champions of Europe host newly promoted Norwich at home. Doesn’t quite seem fair that does it, somehow? It’ll probably see plenty of Salah captainers get their first taste of the armband for the season anyway.
Champions Man City then get the first Saturday of the season going as they visit West Ham in the early kick off at 12.30pm.
In perhaps a sign of things to come our 3pm games are not only few but are also littered with the already seemingly cast aside ‘less interesting’ teams. Apologies to Bournemouth & Sheffield United, Burnley & Southampton, Palace & Everton and Watford & Brighton but that’s how it seems.
Champions League runners up Spurs host newly promoted Villa at home in the late KO at 5.30pm. Doesn’t quite seem fair that does it, somehow? It’ll probably see plenty of Kane captainers get their first taste of the armband for the season anyway….
Leicester and Wolves begin (share) our first Sunday with an intriguing encounter at 2pm, while Newcastle fans will be protesting against Arsenal at the same time. Well ok, not protesting Arsenal, protesting Ashley, but you know what we mean…
A clash of the old titans sees GW1 out as Chelsea visit Old Trafford at 4pm.
The games in full…
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
Good luck to absolutely everyone for Gameweek 1 from all at FF247!

On 97 with Greenwood to play. Hope I could touch the ton.
Great score. Might come up short there unless he does something from bench
Yes Smash. Goal/assist is the only way possible tonight. Pretty content with te first week though
Cracking score there
Morning all,
It looks like some v good scores on here – well done all.
I got a bit lucky, had Salah and Sterling (who I didn’t captain) and was cursing as Kane was blanking – a good last 5 mins, phew. 82 points with Perez to go.
I started with £1mln itb, and hoped to get through first 2 weeks fairly unscathed to allow a mini w/c in wk 3. So far so good, no apparent injuries and hope I can do okayish next week.
Really looking forward to seeing how Arse/Chel/Utd set up today.
:drinks: :drinks: :drinks:

THE FOOTBALL SEASON IS BACK
Nice scoring bud
I am well pleased with 77 points so far this game week.
Have Salah and sterling of the big three.
Was always captaining Salah so delighted with sterling’s hat trick.
Vertonghen didn’t play so have Greenwood, Perez, Martial and jiminez remaining.
Yes well done to those who captained sterling and are on track for 100+ points.
Shame harry bagged a late brace.
Jamie
You still have a distinct possibility of getting there Jamie.
Why was it a ‘shame Harry bagged a late brace’ ? Surely not because you did not have him in your team
Made a second team to chase GW1 and then set and forget from GW2 with a wildcard.
Ended up playing the WC last night…on my main account.
Don’t have two teams kids!
D’oh.
Well I can’t say I’m sorry for that Bean. I think B teams and C teams and all that nonsense leagues that are flying around shouldn’t be allowed. Their moves and transfers affect the rest of us (or affect the A teams) in an unfair way.
That said, being you a nice bloke I can sympathize with your pain
Who knows maybe you can get away with it.
Oh I expect no sympathy at all!
Whole additional week of tinkering with the squad is not what I wanted though…
Oh dear… And if you do, double-check everything you do…
Lesson learnt, just one team from next year me thinks!
Don’t have the concentration to double check it all…
Yeah I used to have Zorro’s My Rules team, but rarely checked it and forgot about it for long periods of time… I couldn’t focus on more than one team at a time
Plus I do agree with DMC (to a certain extent) about having B and C teams affecting the market anyway so happy with just one team…
Similar I had a myrules with Zorro but only checked it a few times. I also experimented with a ‘B’ team last year out of curiosity how much TV I could get. But neither were worth the effort. Still got MLS and Mito’s Ashes on the go though
Let’s not go there again. Having a second team for fun is a choice. Yes, extra teams affect the overall status in a way but what about those weekly cash prize teams, especially from the middle east? Watch, by Christmas the total players will be 7 million. I think they should be made illegal.
Yeah, I bet DMC is against those as well
Just realized that my draft with salah, sterling and kane would have got 79 points with zouma and Perez left to play.
My ”real” team without Kane got 84 with Perez left.
Well my article team would have done a bit better than my current team. Oh well
Its easy to just stare at those 13 points from Kane and cry. But the big picture isn’t at vad as it seems…
*as bad
Yeah it is and you have to base the decisions on the first three weeks at least not just GW1
Indeed, if thinking about Kane for instance it’s clear than Eriksen is very important for him and Spurs… If he goes then Spurs are in trouble and so is Kane, if he stays then Kane could be good value, easy to just save a transfer now and see GW2 and reassess!
Not so sure about that.
But it’ll take a few weeks before we know of course,..
Exactly we will. My plan was always to see how first two go and then reassess. By that time Chelsea players will be clearer as well
There’s Sonny and Alli in there too. And Lo Celso. I think he’ll be fine and he looked sharp too yesterday, so, yeah, I think we’ll all be looking to buy him sooner rather then later. Already a few bargain enablers showing themselves too in McGinn, Buendía, for instance.
He looked sharp for about 4 minutes, but then again, that’s all he needs aparently….
Nah, this is exactly the reason we need to assess for the first few weeks and not just GW1, these McGinns and Buendias could have just scored in GW1 and then go on to do nothing, the sample size is still way too small. Yeah true that Alli and Lo Celso are there too, but I though Kane looked rather bad before Eriksen came on, the first goal a lucky goal, the second one was very well taken. Wait and see for me as it’s still very much up in the air whether Kane and a McGinn, for instance, will outscore a more balanced pair!
All good reasoning and I also agree whit that. I didn’t watch the whole game but it was clear the effect Eriksen had on the team. Kane was there waiting for something to happen and he poked them goals when it did – this the sharpness commentary. We’ll see, of course.
*thus!
Yeah it’s way to early to say those cheaper players are going to do the business each week. McGinn will get odd return but not much more than that. Kane will get points regardless. I think Hudson-Odoi will be the enabler when fit. I definitely prefer Salah and Sterling to Kane that’s for sure after the opening games
Yes Kane scored late and looked like he would blank but he had chances throughout the game and that’s the most important thing – if he wasn’t getting chances I’d be concerned. The sharpness will improve – indeed it improved throughout the game. My only concern with him is GW2!
If I had Kane I definitely wouldn’t sell, we all know what he is capable of. Right now I have Salah/Sterling and no Kane and ain’t selling SS so I need to reason whether it’s worth it to include Kane as well, will need one or I think two good enablers to have all three… But we’ll see how it all unfolds!
How did the site team do? Kane Mo and Raz all scored big.
Here go mate!
Nice shooting.
Great score!!!! Hope Jota scores 10 points today
That’s rubbish. I bet Dannyg has done better :hippo:
