Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 4
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 4. Thankfully the International break is over and what a way to kick it off in GW4. A Saturday lunch time affair brings with it the most interesting fixture of the week. City will play host to Liverpool and their new arrival Keita…wait, apparently he arrives next season, oh well, at least we get to see how Virgil van Dijk fits in. As for City, while Alexis did not arrive, Aguero is more than capable of taking up the pouting. That game is followed by five 3pm games. Big money Arsenal welcome in The Cherries, high scoring Brighton tangle with The Baggies, Everton will look to sober up after that drunken performance last time out when they meet up with September Kane. Leicester look to steal some points off the champions and Saints and Watford mix it up in a battle of two unbeaten teams. We finish the Saturday fixtures when the powerful Man United side pay a visit to Bet365 stadium, where I am sure the owners will take your bets on United crushing the home team.
Sunday makes us wish we were still in the International break as Burnley gets their chance at 3 easy points when Palace comes in and if that wasn’t punishment enough we get hit with Swansea vs Newcastle in the late game.
Sunday had some terrible games, but not to worry, as Monday will not be outdone and they offer up equally unwatchable stuff when The Hammers welcome in Huddersfield.

Champions League VOTE!
For those playing Champions League this season which site do you think we should use for the Regulars League?
1. The normal one – http://uclfantasy.uefa.com/en
2. The new one – http://fantasytopfootball.com/
The 2nd one is the new name / branding for the guys who provided the U21’s game over the summer.
Happy to play either but won’t be doing both so which one should we all use?
Didn’t play the U21’s, was the format any good?
Yeah it worked great, very easy and no obvious glitches in the working of the site itself. They did have a few issues with over pricing players towards the end but that was all.
Just need to decide on one or the other and go with it.
I’m inclined to give the new guys a go but happy to go with the majority.
Init – I liked the u21 experience with the new site but I’ve read the rules and it doesn’t seem to be like a like. Apparently, each gw only has 6 games. As a result there are no limit to transfers. You’re basically on a WC every gw. I don’t mind that too much but the 6 games thing anoys me a bit. Why don’t we do both as a trial for next season? If not, then my vote goes to the uefa one. Cheers
That’s VERY odd!!!
I didn’t see that, just assumed it was a normal game. Not doing that then. Let’s crack on with the normal one?
Yeah it’s totally a deal breaker if we think about it. I’ll sign up with them anyway , just to show them how it’s done! :hippo:
Another poor week for me – or certainly average at best. I don’t think that major surgery as required just yet but certainly have 4 or 5 players who need changed.
Team is below – I’m thinking of bringing in Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting straight away to beat any possible price rise, for Xhaka, and probably Davies for Kompany after the CL games. Also willing to take a hit if required – have 2 FT and 0ITB.
Any other suggestions?
The 4th midfielder slot is where I generally try and go for a punt and to build some team value – which if he plays anything like yesterday then Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting should certainly do. Plus it’s a great name…albeit an expensive one to put on the back of your shirt!
Cheers

Sounds a bit like chasing previous points to me. Xhaka tends to get more cards than assists. Chaopo maybe but he only scored 3 times last season. So not really sure
I had got Xhaka as he started scoring toward the end of last season and thought that might continue after the 2 assists in GW1, but clearly not! He has to go so open to other suggestions in that price range – Pascal Groß is the only other one who has form & fixtures that I can see, but again that could be chasing previous points.
Just a thought, but don’t we all bring in players when they look like hitting some form anyway i.e. chase previous points?
Wouldnt consider Chaopo for another 4 weeks with fixtures…Ritchie and Gross are probably better short term punts, but who knows…he scored 2 against United!
Kompany to Davies seems a solid move.
Most people chase previous points yes, like bringing Kane in now he’s started scoring. The aim is to predict this before it happens, like bringing Kane in for this week because his attacking stats were so good – doesn’t always work granted.
Very difficult to do with cheap midfielders because their points often come randomly so its all a bit of a gamble. Here are the stats on all three I mentioned:
Gross – 4 shots, 2 on target, 7 attempted assists (not entirely sure what this means really)
Choupo – 12 shots, 3 on target, 3 attempted assists
Ritchie – 8 shots, 2 on target, 5 attempted assists
Thanks Mr Bean – some useful info there. You’ve brought out my inner stats geek. Using your stats, that means that:
Gross has been responsible for 10% of the shots and 17% of the shots on target for Brighton
Choupo 22% of shots, 25% shots on target for Stoke
Ritchie 15% of shots, 9% on target for ‘toon.
Newcastle have had most shots (52, 23 O/T). Stoke 46/12, Brighton 39/12.
My gut says Choupo but my head is currently trying to work out if the stats, form and fixtures back it up :borg:
i love the “attempted assist” stat. never seen it before.
Gents
It looks like eriksen could be going up tonight, do I take the risk and go for him or hold fire and bring another for mane?
I have enough for erisken if I do the move tonight
Or do I just do salah and maybe morata to Jesus?
Then do Lukaku to Kane the with Alonso to kola the week after?
Or just do the -12 now and be done with it
I actually prefer your current team to the -12 one! Obviously once Mane is fixed.
Think I’d do the Erikson move. Then just lacking Liverpool coverage
I never saw the logic in taking a hit for a defender swap, Mitro. How many extra points do you think he can warrant? Maybe take only -8 if you have the funds.
Get in Eriksen tonight and take the risk Mitro
Cheers dreamers
Why Morata and Lukaku to Kane and Jesus – I prefer the former and think the Eriksen move is a good one. I think im going with Alli and Eriksen over Kane this year.
I just think Kane and Jesus will score more points that Lukaku and morata on weekly basis
But Eriksen and Alonso will outscore Salah and Kola?
Also would always be worried about Jesus rotation
I’m a little worried at Jesus’ rotation too. Morata will play every week, and let’s not discard that he’s blatantly better at football than Lukaku!
Morata looked so bad in the first two games (despite his goal and assist) but for his price I think he’s the best attacking option in the game, and from GW8 im definitely looking at him over Lukaku
Yeah I’m not sure on Jesus either. I have him and he has a lot better fixtures than Morata currently. But yeah I could have Morata instead of Lukaku and have Mikhi and Pogba to cover United. Seems a hi wrong ditching Lukaku though when he’s performing
Eriksen going up? Didn’t you misspell that one? Isn’t that called ”erection”? 😛
Ha ha!!
Just do the Erik one now and forget the others. Not quite sure how you’ll get through the rest of the week though!
I’ll just take a hit if anyone gets injured
I meant you personally not your team
Mitro,
Don’t forget. Alli is suspended for Spurs first CL games and, given his finger-wagging, perhaps some WC qualifiers. This means Alli will probably log more EPL time than Eriksen.
Do I need to do anything? I got 2 ft’s and ummm 0.5m in the bank or something? Willian and Lukaku to ummm Eriksen and ummm Firminho?
Don’t like the idea of losing Lukaku but yeah as a pair there one is much preferable, especially this week.
I’m looking at ditching Willian & Lukaku too, probably for Morata & Pogba. But as you already have Pogba I like the Firmino & Eriksen combo. Seems crazy to let Lukaku go, but I can’t find a reasonable Willian replacement without doing so.
I much prefer Willian to Eriksen, Lukaku to Morata and Ince to 4.5 if that works? 6 mil on the bench seems a waste and Ince has been awful
hi all
What would you do with this? Only 0.2 ITB and 1FT
Wait until I see how Ince does tomorrow night? Anyone at his price or less look appealing? Doucoure has a couple now but they play City, Grob has produced but in one game etc
Wait and see what if anything he does or at least how he performs.
Wait and see on Ince for sure. There’s a few punts at that price bracket. I’m currently on Richarlison, but he’s not exactly flying. There’s this lad that got 2 against United, and obviously Gross. I can’t really split much between them.
See how Ince does first. Though he’s not looked good so far. Problem with that price is they are all so inconsistent
ya makes sense – just not the most exciting and have to play Naughton v Spurs
Alright, which (if either) would you be happy with as a WC team???
Neither particularly mate. You did ask though
My feelings exactly Init. I was going to hit the WC button Friday night but I couldn’t find anything better than these.
Keep it back. If it doesn’t feel right then there’s really no point forcing it.
