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.

  1. Hello all,

    Decent first week, not sure if I need to make a transfer. Itching to get Eriksen somehow, but am doing what is can from taking an 8 point hit. ?

    • Hi Shriz, just monitor Zaha and replace him with say Ince if need be. I certainly wouldn’t be taking a -8 at this stage.

    • Wait until tomorrow to make sure salah doesn’t get injured. He’s be your own out to get Eriksen in

  2. Not sure what to do here. I’m thinking of a hit. Yeah I know already. Salah and Mikhi in for Fabregas and KDB. Might just be a bit trigger happy . I’m worried about Fabregas I could just bench him but not sure if he will come back into the team. KDB could easily perform against Everton so maybe I should just leave it. Looks like Salah is going up tonight.

    • I think KDB looked very good, but I do like the sound of your team after those moves. Liverpool and United have favourable fixtures, so you could get an immediate ROI.

      • Yeah I know but a -4 to ditch KDB don’t seem right but I like the look of Salah

        • Would getting for Vardy for Jesus be to much? Away to Brighton could see him score well. 2.0 would get you salah too. KDB is city’s BMP I think you’d be mad to lose him

        • Yeah I can do that. Vardy has some nasty fixtures. Jesus could easily have had a couple of goals though

    • Smash

      I must admit, the move I would make here would be Mitro’s one.

      Fabregas to Ramsey would be me here.

      • Yeah I don’t have Arsenal coverage. I like Rambo as well. I’m not sure about their fixtures. Would you say I have to ditch Fab really GP

        • I would yeah. There’s something wrong at Chelsea and as it stands, their squad is very light as well.

          I have no coverage and not fancying any currently.

        • Yeah don’t seem right. Monaco guy might be fit soon plus after being sent off there’s no guarantee he will come back in

    • That’s a tough spot Fabregas has put you in, Smash. I have KDB as well and was disappointed with his gw1 return, but I think it’s still too early to let him go. I’d give it another week if you can hold off and see what he does at home against Everton. If you do decide to take a hit and bring in Salah, at least wait until after the CL match tomorrow in case there are any injuries.

      • Yeah sound advice. Salah is probably going up in price tonight. I think I probably should hold tight. I don’t think Fabregas is going down just yet.

    • Take the hit…… smile

      • Lol I’d expect nothing less. I might even make same move as you but don’t think I need to do it tonight

        • If you do it let me know how it feels mate! Itching to do one myself to be honest just to get out of my system! smile

    • Salah looks a threat, but in the long term will Salah + Miki > Fab/Other + KDB? I wouldn’t have thought so. I’ve got the same Fab problem and have KDB, but wouldn’t consider getting rid of both at this stage. Just swap out Fab and hold fire. If KDB isn’t delivering the goods after 6 games, I might swap him out for Eriksen or Mane or something, but too early to ditch right now. Liverpool could implode like Chelsea if they sell Coutinho and it upsets the apple cart.

      • Yeah you might be right. Don’t think I’ll make the move. Just not sure what to do with Fab

        • Smash

          This is your conscience speaking “take the hit”

        • Conscience says take a -8 so probably ain’t wise. Though if I take a leaf out of waxys book if I take a -12 I’d be on my way to becoming the best

        • On a serious note I would just do fabregas to Rambo! Your team is solid and will pick up some big points over the coming weeks! The only real issue you have is lack of pool coverage but I’m sure you can sort that out!

        • I’m giving KDB 2 more weeks and if he hasn’t delivered a double digit during that period he’s gone for me!

        • Yeah I might just do that. KDB prob will to be honest I just like the look of Salah but that might just be because I don’t have him

        • Same as I was calling Pancho all names under the sun when I saw his point tally! He made me switch out salah to pogba in our team! Pogba saved him yesterday from getting blocked! smile

          Salah is going to get a lot of points and is defo on my radar when I WC

        • Yeah I bet. Still find it hard to believe I went without Liverpool coverage. Was blinded by Pep again

  3. It finally arrived! So happy I got my official FF247 Shirt! Thanks to Innit, Cookie, Kop, Mito, Elle and the rest of the FF247 team for sending me my shirt. I have been a loyal follower/regular of the site since its birth. It’s been like 5 years of top notch articles, tips, captain picks etc. Thanks to all the writers and administrators of this marvelous site. I’m proud to be a part of the FF247 family. Keep up the great work guys! I’m gonna keep rocking the shirt.

    • Brilliant picture Eagle!

      My shirt is missing. I wonder if mine was re-possessed? Yours isn’t it – mine was much bigger 😉

    • Brilliant stuff mate, that’s superb. Where was that pic taken just out of curiosity?

      • Innit – As you know, I’m from Belize. Last weekend i took the pic while I was still on vacation. This pic was taken at a beach place called Mahahual along the coastal shores of Mexico. Had an awesome time with my family.

    • Great picture, Eagle!! Love seeing people post pics with their shirts on, very cool that the FF247 crew sends them out to us. Looks like you’re having a much better time than me sat at work in front of the computer! laugh

      • Hi Red. Yea its very cool that they send us shirts. This pic was taken last weekend so i’m in the office right in front of my computer just like you. If i’m not mistaken, I recall your pic with your sun glasses beside the beach. Am i right?

        • Haha, yes! Good memory. I always pack my shirt if we travel anywhere so I can get a picture wearing my FF247 shirt. smile

    • Looking sharp

    • That’s what we call a holiday Eagle shirt looks great , you get a great reaction when you wear it down the pub Sat afternoon for the footie 😉

      • Yes Silvers, I had a great vacation to relieve work stress. I can imagine the reaction you get when you wear your shirt at the Pub. It’s great feeling a part of an elite group of FPL managers.

    • I needed XXXL, they don’t make that big.

      • Too bad they don’t have your size Elle. Looks like you will have to cut down on the pastries and soda!

    • God damn Eagle, every time someone posts a pic with their shirt it reminds me how slacker I am to not have posted one yet. Damn kids and life in the way. I’ll get to it. 😉 Lookin sharp btw.

      • Colriles – What are you waiting for mate. Put on that shirt, take a pic and post to the site. That’s all there is to it.

        • Ha! I’ve said exactly that a dozen times! This week it’s my older son who just went through a surgery and a rough recovery, and our little guy deciding he wants to be up in the middle of the night too! It’s always something…

        • Colriles, I wish your son abundant blessings and a speedy recovery. Those are very valid excuses as I know life can be tough at times. Wish you guys the best and whenever you have a chance you can post your pic.

    • Great pic Eagle smile

      Heading to Mexico myself in October. I’ll have to root out my t-shirt!!

      • hi Kop. That’s a long trip across the ocean but i’m sure it will definitely be worth it. I can imagine you with a sombrero and a shot glass of tequila and your FF247 tshirt.

        • If I end up with a shot of tequila in my hand I seriously hope there are no cameras around!! smile

  4. Mendy is back training so probably ain’t too far off now

  5. Evening everyone. Does anyone know when Zaha is scheduled for a doctor’s appointment for this knee injury? Hoping it isn’t serious but the quicker we know the extent the better.

  6. Not the best of starts, only 62 points for me in the first gameweek. Need some suggestions before the prices go up today.
    What do you guys reckon, am I good to go or do I need some changes? Any news on zaha and dummet’s injury?

    • I think Zaha should be fine . Dummet I don’t know..

      • Dummett looked like hamstring so probably a few weeks. He might need replacing

    • KP not a great score myself , when everyone else getting 80 plus don’t feel great , not a lot wrong with your team just a bit of bad luck Keep an eye on Drum but rest looks fine 😉

    • Beat my 51
