Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 4
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 4. No Friday fixture this time, but a big slate of games on Saturday to get the GW going. In all there is 8 fixtures and kicking it off with a lunch time affair is Southampton hosting the crap again Manchester United.
That early game is followed by six 3pm games. We have Lampard’s boys taking on Lundstram’s crew, along with that we also see Palace vs Villa and Newcastle vs Watford. Simultaneously we also get Leicester hosting Bournemouth, Man City taking apart Brighton and West Ham versus Norwich in the battle of the cheap strikers. The day is then closed out by Burnley vs Liverpool which should see 21 players inside the Clarets’ penalty area most of the game.
Sunday brings us the remaining two fixtures. The early game sees Everton play host to Wolves, should be an interesting game between one team who doesn’t know how to attack versus a team who is too tired to attack. The late game has the best game on paper of the game-week. Arsenal (just lost to LFC) takes on Spurs (just lost at home to Toon) in what should help us to start to figure out which team will finish 20 points behind second place in 3rd and which team will finish 25 points behind second place in 4th.
The games in full…

Ok guys, any views on these moves:
Kane and wan b to kun and pieters, 2 fts.
Good moves imo!
+1
Thanks guys. I may have to do them tonight though, which could be risky.
Very risky indeed_!
I’d definitely wait. International week is not the time for early transfers
Just keep an eye on the price rise site, you don’t have to transfer now unless you are unsure the prices are going to rise and you won’t be able to afford the players you want.
Wan-B is falling tonight. Not sure I’d be burning both FT’s this early but they are good moves though.
Thanks guys
73 points total for me after bonuses, pleased with my WC team.
Nicely done, Term! I’m on 46 pts after bonuses. Only 1 goal and 3 assists from my team this week – nothing stellar, but hey ho.
Well played Terminator.
Might be too difficult fitting in Salah, Sterling, KDB and Kun but it’s such a nice dream.
I don’t mind this draft, but double Norwich attack just feels wrong.
I’m trying to do the same thing Gears but I am finding it just unbalances the rest of the team. You are depending on those same 4 players to do the business for you every GW.
Yeah, but which one will you drop? KDB?
I’m not sure, I’m in exact same decision process as you and trying to balance the team.
I think if I were to go for that quartet I’d try it via a 5/3/2 or 5/4/1, something like:
It’s food for thought. I’m reluctant to play 5 at the back though, I normally don’t even like 4 at the back!
I’ve found it’s the only formation that gives a modicum of balance to having such big hitters (either at the back or front). Lundstram plays as a midfielder (as does TAA, arguably) so you could suspend your disbelief and pretend you’re playing a 3/5/2.
This formation’s faults were discussed at length before the season started.
I’m – fairly unsuccessfully so far, it must be said – playing four at the back at the moment though see comments above about self-delusion, etc.
Hmm, that’s a good argument for 5 at the back. You’ve more got me thinking about a virtual 3-6-1…
Your season will turn though, just got to keep plugging away!
It’s amazing how hard it can be to break the shackles sometimes. ‘But he’s a defender really’ we say to ourselves despite the fact he’s playing in midfield every week.
I’m enjoying this season: it’s a good challenge. And will be satisfying if I turn it round. And bad GW do have their comic benefit – plus they keep you grounded.
Hey gear, matip would be a worry. I think Gomez will be in the mix soon Adrián is a safer way to the pool defense. Then use Pieters for your Burnley cover. This would give you 0.8 – every little helps.
Cheers bud, good point!
What about Mane as Pool-cover? Then use the mil somewhere else
Yeah, the thing is Salah killed me when I took him out last season. I just can’t deal with that again
Is Jota dropping or Barnes rising? Can’t afford any price changes, and have 2FTs so think I could burn one transfer now and keep the other in case of emergencies… :uknw:
emoji fail… :unknw:
Hopefully neither, but you know where to check (I’d imagine).
Traditionally a lot of wildcards are played in the IB so that may slow down the arrival and departure price volatility.
Yeah I know I’ve just been busy (lazy – btw how do you do that strike through thing?) lately and all, thought I’d just ask here, can check myself as well as not really that keen on Barnes anyway
You can do the strikethough / italics etc by using HTML around the words you want. Just look up HTML strikethrough and play round a bit.
Zed:
Ok, cheers Kralin, I’ll give it a try! Thanks for
making me even more confusedbeing so clear and helpful!Employed at the right time I find the strikethough very good for comedic effect.
Jota going down soon, Barnes rising in a few days. Probably mutually exclusive too.
Yep the fact that Jota was benched today didn’t help at all…
Can’t say his replacement looked that great so I’ll imagine he’ll be back in next time.
Evening guys,
Another rubbish gameweek, plummeting down the ranks – great stuff. Looking to get rid of Wan B and Rashford for a -4. Thinking one of these combos:
1. Firmino and Zinchenko / Walker
2. Aubameyang and Pieters
Did look at Aguero, but that would have left me £3.8m to get a defender and unfortunately the price changes haven’t revealed any £3.8m benchwarmer defenders yet!
Current bunch of jokers is below.
Loads of alternatives for Rashford, you’re almost spoilt for choice there. Haller, Barnes et al. TAA could come back for W-B.
Might be worth getting one though and going with essentially 14 players? When do you ever have to reach for that 3rd spot on the bench. I appreciate it narrows your rotation options but having Digne and VVD you’d play those two every week regardless of fixtures and you just make sure the other two rotate ok. Just a thought anyway.
Sorry, Init, I don’t understand – there aren’t any £3.8m defenders at the mo and so I can’t afford Aguero by taking out just Wan B. I could, perhaps, go against the flow and take out Mount as well on a -8 for, say, Ceballos and then stick Rico in, leaving £0.3m. But then that’s a -8 and I’d be taking out a decent player!
My bad then. Well, yours actually, as you made it sound like there were some but they just didn’t play.
KDB > Dilva and Rashford > Aguero? I know at this stage none like to sacrifice KDB, but to maintain the balance – this could be an option.
King Kun saved the day :worthy:
Decided to WC before this GW mainly due to Kane, I know that I spent ages working on my GW1 team and I held Kane as long as I could and after his first GW score I thought it was the right decision, but there are deeper issues at Spurs, I wanted to wait until after the internationals but I just couldn’t.
I am hoping for no injuries and also that Hanely is ok as I need a £4m DEF, I was disappointed Rico didn’t play.
Nice one Term, great score. Must have been a very satisfying WC that.
