Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1. As the great Bruce Buffer would say “IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTSSS TTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMEE!” Here we go, the planning stage is over and the moment has come to test all your pre-season theories. This season we don’t even have to wait until the weekend either, as the season kicks off on a Friday night. The invincible Arsene Wenger and his boys take on the now “back where they belong” Leicester.
Saturday hits us with a lunch time feast as Watford welcome in Liverpool and their high octane attack. Three o’clock has five fixtures on the slate. The Champs grab their first 3 points when they face Burnley, Palace host newcomer Huddersfield, The Toffees tangle with Stoke, Saints pummel Swansea and The Baggies back from vacation finally after leaving in February mix it up with The Cherries. The Saturday fixtures finish up when recently promoted Brighton tries their hand at figuring out why City paid that much for that defence.
Sunday hits us with the last two fixtures. Newcastle reacquaints themselves with the Premier League when they face Harry Kane and company, geez, what a welcome back. The late game pairs up Man United side versus a Hammers team whose big acquisitions were in part, three old Manchester leftovers, Chicha, Zaba and Hart.

A combined total of 16 points from my front 7 including my captain, with just Lukaku to play! Hegazi got 15 points alone and where is he… on the bench! Love it!!
nishant
Just not your week mate
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
That’s unusually low but can happen to any of us Bmac.
Unlucky call with Hegazi. He looked a threat at set plays. At least you dont have to transfer him in.
Bmac87
The only way is up
constantine
A good game can change everything. from 37 to 62..Faith in Eriksen paid off. Was really worried when the ball was with Kane though. He could’ve scored two atleast..
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Well done Constantine.
The second assist was lucky. He was running along and the ball knocked off him and in to Davies’ path. Not complaining though. I have Davies!
constantine
GP..I’ll take that mate..was dreading till now for having Iheanacho. Do you suggest him to Gayle? He looked sharp today and Newcastle have decent fixtures ahead..
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I think Iheanacho will be a brilliant player for Leicester. I wouldn’t drop him especially not with Brighton next.
constantine
GP..will he start the next games?? That’s the only thing that’s an issue for me
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
He might. Only an injury in the last pre season game cost him his place against Arsenal i think.
Could be fully fit to start next weekend.
constantine
Thank you GP.. will hold the transfer then and check on his position later. cheers

I finagled around with my lineup and made a last minute switch by dropping Lukaku and bringing in Kane.
ah-yup.
szatan
OK so.. I guess not so much bad for a first week.. But some questions are appearing.. Right now did daniels to cedric (since we see that he’s getting minutes)
Question marks are regarding groß and ritchie.. Plus I think I’m gonna lose a lot of of points if I won’t get son or eriksen to the squad.. But how to do that.. Losing de Bruyne for extra half million and then upgrading sth in the mid is worth it?
constantine
Szatan, I’d not lose KDB..
szatan
I really want to have song though.. If he gets 90 mins u can be sure hell get an assist or goal.. And he’s fixture proof.. Best guy for that price..
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Daniels to Cedric is a good move I think but I’d question doing it just now.
I wouldn’t do anything else just now and I wouldn’t drop KDB either.
szatan
Yeah.. Cedric allready in so too late for crying hehe how was morata looking yesterday? No Chelsea or utd cover is scaring me.. Lukaku has to stay quiet today :p
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Morata looked good when he came on. They looked far better with him there.
I would have Lukaku rather than not have him if you see what I mean.
SAFs_hairdryer
Get in! No Lindelof = Hegazi coming of the bench. That’ll do nicely
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
What a stroke of luck SAF.
Good for you mate. :ok:

I am playing 4 at the back and they have all got a cleanie and Davies got a goal as well.
Midfield and attack not doing so well. Only William has failed to blank so far. Maybe Lukaku (c) or Micky can buck the trend.
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I have three including Davies and all have cleans too. Waiting for DDG for the full set and history. I can’t remember ever having a clean sweep of cleans before.
Horse
Well done TGP. I got DDG left as well to complete the set.
