Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 24
Let the fun begin! We could be about to encounter a number of DGW’s on the bounce and DGW24 is the first of those, albeit with just the 4 teams playing twice.
We begin on Saturday and end on Wednesday but it is also worth bearing in mind that DGW25 then starts less than 48hrs later, on Friday evening.
Leicester and Liverpool get us under way @12.30pm on Saturday and this is followed by Palace & Burnley @3pm, Man City get their double under way @5.30pm vs Spurs before Brighton & Villa see Saturday out @8pm.
Sunday is a similar marathon with Saints vs Wolves @12pm, Man Utd going to West Brom @2pm, Arsenal welcoming Leeds @4.30pm with Everton & Fulham getting their respective doubles under way @7pm.
Just the two on Monday as West Ham welcome Sheffield Utd @6pm and Newcastle go to Chelsea @8pm.
The ‘bonus’ games occur on Wednesday with Burnley & Fulham boring everybody @6pm before Everton & Man City should hopefully wake us all up again @8.15pm.
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 24 from all at FF247!

KDB is back
Kralin
That’s one to ponder with next week’s transfer. I think I’ll anticipate the need to possibly move for him should Gundogan be out longer term. May require some delicate transfer footwork.
AJW
Pep being a bit cagey there – he merely says that KDB will travel to Everton, but does this mean he’s playing, or just there to gee up the boys before the match? I imagine KDB singing in the aisles of the team bus, giving a stirring rendition of ‘Knees up Mother Brown’, to motivate the troops, feeling down about Ilkay’s absence, before distributing Belgian waffles and wishing them all the best in this toughest of matches. Have heard that he’s actually dissimulated, telling the rest of the team that it’s in fact their CL match this week, and not the Toffees they will be confronting. Sacré Kevin!!!
Smash
He also reckons fixtures will be announced Friday
Stone Frog
Deadline is Friday 6.30. There are going yo be some panicked last minute WC team selections if we get the fixtures Friday, especially if it ends up being late Friday afternoon.
IvanTheTerrible
That will be the worst possible scenario with majority doing regrettable hectic eleventh hour moves.
Smash
Yeah he reckons if will be for March fixtures so all at the same time
IvanTheTerrible
I would rather take a hit to sort out GW25 and then have more time considering what to be done with the WC.
Kralin
I’m hoping to have the wildcard done and dusted by tomorrow evening.
I’m seeing it as a block of fixtures – 25 – 29 – rather than solely focusing on 26. Eg the Leeds players for 25 flow through to the BGW of 29. And so on.
In many ways a big DGW in 27 would suit me perfectly.
Smash
Yeah I know what I’ll do if I wildcard. Unsure on one defender spot but I’m pretty happy with the rest
Kralin
It’s been an odd one because of this mini DGW immediately preceding the balloon going up.
My biggish call is between Kane or Vardy.
As neither are coming in this week I may kick that can down the road and leave enough in the bank to go for either next week (e.g. have enough for Kane).
AJW
Well I currently have :
Pope – Martinez
Cancelo – Stones – Targett- Shaw – Lowton
Mo- Gundo – Son- Bruno- Raph
Ingsie- Bamf – Watkins
Will get Kane for Ings next week and maybe save trades till after GW28 so as to get in 2 (3?) players for GW29, giving me about 7 or 8 that week and we’ll see how it goes afterwards. Any contrary advice? Am I painting myself into a corner? Have activated WC BTW
AJW
P. S. I am not a robot (says he in a robotic voice!)
Kralin
That side looks fine AJW. Thinking hard about Shaw myself.
Like you I’d like a couple of FT going into 28 / 29.
This is a real buckle yourself in period.
AJW
Too true Kralin. Strap yourself in and resist temptation – Shaw has looked really dangerous of late and has great wraps.
Was thinking of eventually ‘devolving’ my goal-keepership and implementing a rather ‘hispanic blend’ towards GW 29, by bringing in Sanchez to partner Martinez (thus saving a few denarii to spend elsewhere). But as they say, ‘many’s the slip twixt cup and lip’!
Cheerio and good luck. (Any hope of a glimpse of your impending new-look ‘After the rainers’?)
Kralin
I can’t really be bothered to screenshot it, AJW, and besides it still rather lazily has a lot of the current squad still in it. May bring in Shaw tonight (for Holding) and swap Dias with Cancelo.
Otherwise Soucek has gone for Raphinha; Cavani for Ings; Antonio for Bamford; Steer for Martinez.
Last significant decision will be who to bring in for Saka, with a Leicester mid looking favourite but I may get Grealish.
I’ve thought about Sanchez but have stuck with Pope for now.
AJW
I understand Kralin – you’re not one to go ‘flaunting it to all and sundry’! Sounds like you have a logical plan in mind – I’m wondering what to do with my City defence (have Stones and Cancelo, but coveting DIas, yet he is a tad expensive!). Ah well, as long as it’s done by Friday evening. Have put in Struijk for Lowton, which frees up a few bob and gets me another doubler for this week and GW 29. Ah Kralin, I’m sorry, just thinking out aloud! Thankyou for your considerations.
Stone Frog
How many doubles do we think there will be in GW27 or GW28 for the catch-up games? Man City, Spurs, Everton, Fulham, Southampton etc.
colonial
Stonefrog
this might help if it prints out!!

Stone Frog
Thanks, eyeing players with double double or triple double!!
Little Red Lacazette
Will this be OK for a -4 next GW? (-4) for Bissouma -> Raphinha.
Pope
Dias Stones Dallas
Gundogan Bruno Salah Son Raphinha
Bamford Ings
Martinez Watkins Mee Bednarek
Smash
Yeah I like that well did the sabe thing pretty much
Little Red Lacazette
You did the same thing or planning to do the same thing?
Smash
I got Raphinia for Smith-Rowe. Hit might be Dallas for Digne or I may wildcard
Aarron13
You benching Mee against West Brom?
Smash
Yeah that’s what’s tough as I prob would be. But there could be City rotation, Gundogan not fit and the Digne hit would have to happen to fund Kane anyway just depends if it’s this week or next
Little Red Lacazette
Hey Aarron13, who would you bench then?
GentleBenAKA
Hey guys does this look alright? FT = Antonio —> Ings, just haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Special Agent Dale Cooper
Looking good mate. Any plans for Spurs cover in future?
GentleBenAKA
Cheers.
Nah.
Veer
Morning all,
I’m back with another WC draft 😎
What do you guys think? Preparing for BB in DGW26 as well as having enough players for BGW29. Have the money to do Ings >> Kane next week. Previously had Son and Rafinha instead of Grealish and Barnes, keep going back and forth with that one.
Thank you for all the help
Bigpopz
Veer
Like this team a lot
May just copy & paste it myself lol
Guessing it’s a 3-5-2 with either Watkins or Shaw coming on if Gundo out, ..right?
Veer
Thank you, yes it will be a 3-5-2. Though I’m considering benching a City defender for Shaw, as an Arsenal fan I’m hoping we’ll score against them
Bigpopz
Veer
Yea makes sense as Arsenal could score v City with Auba finding his shooting boots lately,
Shaw v Newc should be CS :good:
Special Agent Dale Cooper
Really strong squad there and good plan for Kane.
Veer
Thank you
Smash
Love it. Maybe Burn over Veltman as March is injured and Veltman has Lamptey coming back. White is better but 0.1 more. Not sure on McCarthy in goal
Veer
Thank you Smash. I’m not sure about McCarthy either but the possibility of 3 straight DGWs seems to good to ignore. If anything he’ll get appearance and save points
Kralin
I like this team a lot. Seems to have a lot of bases covered.
I’m pondering a Leicester midfielder though may end up benching whoever it is this weekend.
Smash
Latest on Gundogan :hippo:
