Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 22. Possibly too much FPL followed quickly by not enough, it’s feast or famine season is Christmas and early January. After a small break to recharge our batteries we are back this weekend to either try and extend on a successful festive period of points, or repair the damage! Whichever one it is we have a weekend of fun ahead beginning with a bumper Saturday program of seven games…
West Ham and Arsenal kick us off at lunchtime with both sets of fans probably wondering which version of their respective Jekyll and Hyde teams will show up. The five 3pm games are a mis-mash of mid-table much of a muchness. With the exception of Liverpool, who will probably steamroller Brighton. Talking of Jekyll and Hyde, Hazard gets a go at one of his favourite fixtures in the evening game as Chelsea host Newcastle. Depending on which version of Chelsea show up, probably one without a real striker….
Talking of Jekyll and Hyde… Everton and Bournemouth get Sunday under way in the early one, before the real action begins later with the much anticipated clash between Poch-present and Poch-future… perhaps. Let’s see what Ole has to say about that though.
Man City then host Wolves on Monday to see the game-week out.
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 22 from all at FF247!

Everyone seems to be scrambling for Utd coverage. What about City coverage? Is Sane the only viable option after Sterling? Aguero is out of my price range.
In part you answer your own question. Reason many are going for United players is because they are great value compared to City players. You are having trouble affording City’s best options and my guess is so are many, so they go get the 7 million striker and 8 point something mid instead of the 11 million striker and 11 million mid. Sure, I think we all like to have City players also, say Sterling maybe Kun, but they come with a lot more sacrifices to the rest of our squad. Maybe one of the Silvas is the other options in the price range you might be looking at, but they come with rotation worries, possibly. Which is probably another reason people are jumping on the United bandwagon, there starts seem to be less of a worry when it comes to minutes as of now.
+1
I brought in Rashford and Pogba and am better better returns both in points and money.
Thanks, maybe you’ve helped with my dilemma. Was trying to get Sane in. How about Son, Martial and Rondon to Rashford, Pogba and Fraser. Banks me 0.9m to upgrade Kongolo. Will be a -4pts.
Captain D
For a -4 I think that would definitely pay off for you.
I would support that.
I wouldn’t expect too much (more than 5 ppm) from Rashford, because he doesn’t seem to get as many shots or touches as top strikers do. That’s based on season-long stats because I don’t have a weekly breakdown of them, but I don’t think he’s very much more involved than he was under Mou. Pogba clearly is more involved, and even under Mou got loads of touches and shots so has greater upside potential than Rashford.
Over the past 6GW’s no forward has had more attempts on target than Rashford. I’m not saying he’s better than Pogba but I certainly believe he’s currently the value for money forward in the game.
That’s an interesting stat Kop, the eye test (and I haven’t watched a lot of them) led me to agree with GKW, so surprised to hear that he is doing that well in terms of shots.
Mito, it’s possible that the majority of these shots were in one game.
Just looked it up
versus
LFC – 1
Car – 4
Hudd – 4
Bou – 3
Toon – 7
Spurs – 2
So not many attempts vs stronger sides, which makes sense. Luckily he plays weaker sides in 6 of the next 7. Those stats are actually very encouraging considering his upcoming fixtures.
Captain – I’d do that in a heart beat. Not sure for Fraser. He’s still good value if you bought early, but fixtures are terrible so perhaps look elsewhere. He has 4 games vs top 6 in the next 7 and he is yet to produce anything vs such opposition (7 games, 7 blanks).
Kop, Mito, which sites do you use for stats? Of course I believe you(!!), I’d just like to improve my sources. Right now I’m mainly just using the PL stats section.
Struggling to find better options for 7m and under. Thought about taking a punt on Redmond or Iwobi and bank some cash but not convinced.
Maybe Lucas Moura? I have to make the move else I’m 0.3 short.
@GKW, usually Understat and Whoscored for me. Soccerstats for a view of standings, fixtures and home vs away stuff.
Thx, Mito!
Anyone fancy adding Nasri? He played pretty well against the Gunners.
Andy Townsend said before the game that he didn’t think Nasri would be able to cope with the Prem pace after his time out, but what does he know?
For me, I want to see a couple more games from him before I would consider it, having said that, I wasn’t looking for a cheap mid this week, but if I were there be some temptation, but I can see wanting to get about 3 GWs of action so I know that he looks able to produce a bit.
Yes, West Ham have a nice run of matches after playing Liverpool (in GW25).
Evening folks, thinking Kane/Kamara to Kun/Rashford with my 2fts. I’m 1.3mill short, so the question is who do i dump from the midfield to get a bench warmer who plays ? Don’t need the problem of who to bench from the front 8 each gw.
Martial to cambriaso. Could upgrade anderson to pogba the week after then.
Nice thinking Ruggers.
Might do Hojbjerg as Camarasa only leaves 8.6. Another 2 rises for Pogba this week and hes out of reach.
I had that exact midfield and Martial was the guy I dropped, so I would say Martial out of those five be the guy I would have make way.
Martial needs to go Elle…
Puncheon @ 4.2 maybe?
Should leave you with enough $ to do Anderson to Pogba next week, if I am not wrong…
I disagree on Martial he don’t need to go. Well maybe but not essential he’s come close recently and has two easy games now
Elle wants Pogba next week, so Martial is the goat that needs to be sacrificed.
It enables him a few nice moves + he ll be able to upgrade him to Pog-boom.
Makes sense to me.
p.s. Lingard & Martial (I own the latter) are always close, but the numbers favour Pogba & Rashford.
Yeah you are right about Pogba and Rashford being better bets tbf. I still think Martial is good value but then I have all three currently so who knows
Thanks boys.
I could just do Kane to Kun this week and keep Martial then do the Pogba/Rashford/Martial/cheap mid combo next week.

David Wagner has departed his role as Head Coach of #htafc by mutual consent.
The 47-year-old leaves Town after detailed discussions with the Board of Directors, with both parties agreeing this is the correct move for the future of the Club.
Brooky, was that expected? I’m quite surprised by it.
I’m not suprised.Fans have been split 50/50 on whether he should stay or go.The recent run of losses in the so called easy run put him under massive pressure.I thought after we only got a draw at Cardiff we might hear something.Another issue was if we stuck with him for the rest of the season was he going to hang about next season ? From something i’ve just read it sounds like he made the decision to walk away.
Any early rumours on who replaces him?
Could be a great chance for Mourinho to show that he hasn’t lost it
Not yet.I blame Klopp for not lending his mate a few players !!
Jose wouldn’t even have to stop Huddersfield from scoring, they do that on their own.
For you managers already thinking about blanks.
Evening all
Has anyone thought about using there WC yet? I know most of us keep our second one towards the end of the season but can you see any benefit to using it now? This is my second season on the trot where my ranking hasn’t been the best and I am considering it.
I wouldn’t Mitro. Your team looks decent and you’ve got a decent rank as well. Keep the WC till the DGWs and what not. It might actually give you an advantage over your ML managers who might have used it early.
Nah,a couple of hits and you’ll be grand !!
My hits don’t seem to work anymore!
Mitro – I’m a diehard fan of the “WC+BB DGW” combo so my answer is no and to sustain that I’ll let you know, if it helps your cause, that my best ever rank (13k) and points total (2293) happened when I used said combo two years ago, which I believe was the second season with the new chips.
There’s an argument to be made that if your team is in shambles you perhaps shouldn’t wait that long and should instead use it when needed to improve your team to avoid sliding so much in the ranks that it then becomes impossible to climb back with such combo, so, yeah, I can relate to that and see such cases as an exception to said “rule”.
However, I don’t think such calls should be made in January, for many reasons, the main ones being that the market is open, champions league is still very undefined (and we now how that affects said DGW combo plans) and because it’s simply too early to say that your team is in a such a position where it’s needed.
Adding to that, we now also have the free-hit chip which helps the WC+BB on a DGW path because you don’t have to worry too much about the blanks.
In short, keep it mate!
That’s a great answer DMC.
I agree with you.
Cheers DMC
Simple as that :thumbup:
