Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 29
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 29. Back so soon? Life as an FPL manager can be brutal! First world problems and all that, eh?! Three deadlines in the space of 9 days can take its toll mentally, especially when you have to try and factor in the upcoming blanks and doubles, and trying to do so by playing a bit of a guessing game at this stage.
Back at it we are though, and so are Spurs and Arsenal on Saturday lunchtime, as they now seemingly enter a battle for 3rd / 4th spot with each other and also Man Utd, not quite the battle Spurs were hoping for only a week ago. We then have a relative treat at 3pm on Saturday with no less than 5 games. Man City look to keep the pressure on Liverpool as they visit Bournemouth, Brighton will be hoping to pull further clear of the relegation zone and in turn further condemn Huddersfield to their own inevitable fate, Burnley and Palace will be hoping their’s turns into a typical mid-table clash but both still need a few points on the board to make that a reality, Ole will be looking to continue to look invincible as Saints visit Old Trafford with their own agenda and Wolves will look to kiss and make up with their FPL fans with a home game against Cardiff, whose own fans may be forgiven for thinking their own team has already kissed the PL goodbye. What’s the record for the longest sentence ever?!
West Ham and Newcastle is finally looking like a genuine mid-table clash on Saturday evening. Give it three more weeks and the flip-flops will be getting packed in abundance for both.
Watford and Leicester kick us off on Sunday and continue the mid-table theme at 12pm, before a mini derby as Fulham host Chelsea before a proper derby closes us out as Everton look to derail the Liverpool title charge. They won’t, but it should be fun watching them try!
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 29 from all at FF247!

Very amusing gw! Was traveling (and driving!) throughout today’s games and what a rollercoaster with the team sheets, then Auba missing (don’t have him), then City assets blanking (have none), then Jimenez doing the business (have him), then Pogba, the most captained player this week, going -2 for all captainers (have him, didn’t cap him)! Ufff Would’ve been a Rash assist so that’s the bad side of it. Also Bennett stood on the bench with Doherty coming him, but sitting pretty happy with only 14 pts from 4 but a whole lotta of big guys including captain Salah to go! He can’t blank now, can he?
Just arrived now and all is well despite not being the safest of rides!
Very amusing (and bemusing!) GW for me too! Have discovered that thanks to my judicious captaining (Pogba for a minus 2!!!!) and my wily trading (Jimi out for Vardy!!! I’m scared now!) I am sitting on 6 pts for 6 players (almost a film title!) § If this keeps on, I will finish on a record 11 pts!!! Can’t wait till tomorrow! Even if Salah scores 2 points he’ll whip my little antipodean behind!
See you all soon – off to get a few pre dinner drinks in!!!!
How did you manage to take Jim…. doesn’t matter, enjoy your drinks!
Oh no Innit- don’t tell me this was a RFDTM???? (I.e a Really Fecking Dumb Transfer Move!)??? I feel so stooopid! Anyway, as far as Snakes and ladders for adults, this week’s GW plan was really ‘Snakes’! I think I am guilty of sabotaging my own chances of even a moderate degree of success! Me and Paul Pogba!
You were in pretty good company with Pogba. At least you didn’t triple-captain him – did you?
We should all be chasing any forward who plays against Cardiff, not running away from them…. But yeah, hopefully Vardy comes through for you.
He does have Fulham next week, whereas old Jim as Stamford Bridge so yeah, look at it as a combo. And regret it anyway….
I hope Vardy proves cautious types like me wrong today and rewards those plucky enough to have gone with him this week. He’s certainly favourite with me to come in for Auba next week.
Super Plucky
That’s not plucky GP. That’s a very spunky move.
You’re sat pretty knowing you have a captain to come.
Hopefully he’ll give a penalty-kicking masterclass.
Somehow left Schär in my 1st 11 and Diop as my 1st sub.
Small things that make or break your season…
Well at least you had Schär last GW… It’s big things like having Sane instead of Aguero in a DGW that make or break your season….
Or having Saah as your Capo in a week where every man and his dog have Cpt-ed Pogba 😉 …
Or Hazard 😉
You cap’d Hazard Zed? Interesting….
:big-lol:
Glad to see that particular irony wasn’t lost, Cookie.
Not a chance 😉
No idea what all the obsession is about myself 😉 #copied
You should have copied me too Init, Son to Hazard and capped the bugger, will be better than -2 I feel safe to say, plus Son blanked 😆
Kept Sane as captain and was absolutely raging that he was benched by Pep. The team news came out as the same time Kane got the offside pen. Looked like a bad day incoming but thankfully the bald fraud didn’t bring Sane on.
Wan Bissaka comes in for him and Salah is my VC, so I fight to live another day:))
Why do you call him a fraud?!
He’s by no means a fraud but he’s no Messiah either. City and Bayern should have won way more prices.
His best results were when he took over an already unstoppable Barcelona with prime Messi, Iniesta and Xavi.
He tends to rotate too much and change systems in the middle of the season.
He still wants the beautiful Barca way but that’s impossible without Messi.
I meant it more in FPL terms. I love watching City play and I’m pretty sure most teams would envy City in the world right now.
Can be argued he’s a cheque book manager but he has spent the money wisely and basically set their team for the next 5 years with a good young squad.
He’s not really fraud then as he has nothing to do with FPL
Plenty of managers have had huge cheque books, few have dealt with them like he has, consistently too. It’s more about what you do with them when you get them, getting them is the easy bit.
And why would you captain Sane?
It’s my birthday weekend and I am gonna get drunk and possibly make lots of drunken transfers, whoop whoop.
Many Happy Returns Carolyn! :party: :beer:
Yes to the former, don’t do the latter! 😉
Happy birthday Carolyn
Seems like a plan
Happy birthday Carolyn. I’ll drink a cup of coffee on you now.. Cheers. :p
Happy B-Day Carolyn !
A -8 feels much better after a few drinks 😉 !!
Have fun !
Cheers
Many happy returns Carolyn. Hope it’s a good one.
Yes Happy Birthday Caz (such familiarity from the boy from Down Under!) . Have a much better GW than me and you will live to be my age!
Happy birthday weekend Carolyn! So, does this mean you’ll be drinking throughout the whole weekend? I like the concept. Stay away from FPL though, it will only matter next weekend and by then you’ll be hangover!! Here’s to you!
Wow. It really is the gameweek from hell. Diop yellow last minute costing him the bps. FFS.
Fabianski finally gets more than 3 points!
About bloody time.
One of my very few bright stars today.
But I love GW like this. They’re like the quiet parts of films inbetween the massive set pieces.
First time I’ve had two -1 players since the infamous Benteke/Aguero GW a year or two ago.
Thank god for Jiminez. And Fab.
(Is pushed away in his invalid carriage.)
1st time owning Fab and he rewards me with a CS. Sold Patricio for a hit
2 points up then
