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.

Evening all, just got home from hols – not seen any footy, but I hear United looked good today.
Great to see some proper scores from folk, well played!
82 here I think helped massively by Lukaku (c), Davies & Jonesy today. Does anyone know the average?
If you haven’t scored as well as you hoped, reeeeeelax, its only GW1. No panicking.
Nice scoring, Cookie, think Davies has dragged many out of the mire. I chose Danilo instead… meh.
I thought Lukaku (c) would’ve been almost unanimous today but several in my mini leagues don’t even have him.
Nice way to ease back out of your holiday. You do, in fairness, live in a holiday setting anyway!
Yeah that’s why we needed to get away, to avoid the pesky tourists 😉
Danilo still did well for you mate.
Remember I’m coming over at the end of next month
Must book another trip for the end of Sept 😉
Yeah same here James, thought he’d be more popular in my money ML but only 3 of us have him. Most captained overall though (DDG most Vice…).
I don’t have Kane but he looked very much in the game so I don’t think he’ll start slow as last year. Difficult to have both and keep Alli but needs must so I must figure a way to. Anyway, that’s to say that Luk is now a must have given form, fixtures and ownership %.
DdG (vc) is always widespread in ‘casual’ teams, haha, it almost feels amateur having DdG myself.
Sounds like Kane could’ve had a brace today, easily, though I didn’t watch that game. Keep.
Good score, by the way, mate: also a fellow private browser in Safari… thought I was the only one who didn’t want an embarassingly long list of FPL websites to be stored on my phone!
United looked great
They looked complete
It’s a shame Martial had to start from the bench
Dude’s a master piece
Does anyone know the average?
The average was only 31 points (go figure) and the high score was 107.
average now showing as 58 , highest 128
128 with a Bench Boost off 22
Nice to have you back Cookie. I’m one of those pesky tourists and would’ve knocked on your door last weak had you not been away!
Oh mate why didn’t you say, I popped back in last Tuesday, I’d have let you buy me a beer!
*cancels holiday for September
Hee hee
Oh! So maybe you needed the car after all? :))
oi get your hands off!!
Is that in the car museum?
Nope it’s basically in the parking near the exotic garden.
Not for much longer.
While your at it take the white Porsche on the left side of the pic too!
Is three 5.5 mn defs and a 5.5mn goalie too much spent on defence?
Team is
De Gea Elliot
Danilo Davies Daniels Suttner Long
KDB Willian Ince JWP Carroll
Kane Lukaku Firmino
0.5 ItB
Plan is to do Daniels to Bertrand
Looks good to me.
5.5 is perfect for a defender. Mist of mine our in the 5 mark but I have kompany in at 6. Going to keep him in for next week then might look to change him. But for now he’s my only city cover
Cheers gents
Barring any injuries, Daniels to Bertrand it shall be
79 with bps. Ver happy given I started the day with 18…
The stuborn Sane pick back fired but not the Miki one so happy with that too. Alli has proven that he needs very little to score so he’s a stayer. Spurs look very solid so Trippier can easily join Davies. Rose or not Rose I think Poch prefers Davies so he’s a keeper too.
Chelsea look dreadful so thinking Luiz may go, at least for now. Luis and him to Ake/Jones + Mane?
Hope everyone has had a good gw!
Cheers
Sounds like a plan DMC but Liverpool have a midweek Champions League match better to wait until after that.
Good spot horse ! I decided to go without them from the off precisely for the busy schedule but as many said here they would score regardless so I feel I need some cover after all but yeah on do any rush moves. Cheers
I dont have any Liverpool cover and like the look of Salah or Firmino. I am thinking that I will save a transfer this week and make two the following week. But Liverpool vs Crystal Palace could well be a goal fest.
Won my FF247 division 3 H2H match. 87 – 85.today
Third tier is really tough
div 2 for me – won almost as narrowly 86-83
Smashed my opponent in the premier
Hey Mitro. That was me wasn’t it?
Final score?
Division 2 for me and it was down to the wire vs FC Sanchez! 79 for me and 78 for him! That second Miki assist did it! Never thought I could get him after an 18-45 in his favour at the start of the day. Great effort mate.
I managed a win in Div 2 (82-77) but it looks like the Oppo is quite serious in this Div
The leagues you are all in were drawn out of the hat, except Div 4, that was for latecomers. There are a few good players in every league. It’ ll balance out after 5 years.
Good start to this fpl journey
ASXE
Fantastic score! A century on the first weekend. Dream stuff.
Overall very happy with my GW1. Lucked out a bit with 2 goal scoring defenders, but really only Jesus and KDB didn’t score well for me and that could have ended very differently. Think I will be top of my leagues after this week and likely to keep the same team next week and roll the sub over.
Pleased to see some other high scores this week
I am tempted by miki now but can’t have triple united coverage.
With pic
Well played Lewis, great scoring
Thanks Cookie. So 82 for you.. happy with that? Any concerns for you?
All relaxed Lewis, i’m trying to play a bit more sensibly this season!
We’ll see how long it lasts
Until probably the second one of these?
great score
