Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 7
Gameweek 7 gets going with a lunch time affair. The slowly improving Hammers take on the slowly deteriorating Man United. That fixture is followed by six 3pm matches. Arsenal take on Watford, Everton tangle with Fulham, Huddersfield hands over 3 points to Spurs, City put 5 past Brighton, Toon welcome in Leicester and Wolves look to impress again vs Saints. All them fixtures are just the appetisers though, for the match of the day. The late game sees Chelsea welcome in top of the league Liverpool in what we all hope will be a back and fourth battle. Should be interesting all that attacking talent going up against each other. Salah vs Hazard, also Mane vs Hazard and if that wasn’t enough, Firmino vs Hazard.
All the fun didn’t end on Saturday. Well, actually, it did!! Cardiff vs Burnley?! Really? One game on Sunday and this is what we got?
Monday sees an end to the gameweek when Bournemouth tackle the hell out of Zaha. Lerma to get a yellow via love tap to the shin on Wilfried? No doubt!

Do people think doing salah and king to Maddison and kane is worth it. Temporarily leave me with no liverpool for a week
Kane has got an absolutely plum tie coming up; Leicester’s fixtures aren’t bad at all.
Is it just a short term move for you? After the City game – which could be very open – Liverpool have a nice looking run of games.
I’d have a look at King on Monday before jumping.
I do love plums! Did you know that dried plum fruits are called “dried plums”? It’s true, I looked it up on Wikipedia!
Don’t be silly. A dry plum is a prune 😆
Fuck, I never knew that ZL. Is that really true? Blimey.
The plum season is petering out in blighty, though I scrounged a bag of marjories earlier at a farm shop.
Well, guys, this is what the mighty Wikipedia says on the (very interesting) subject:
“Dried plum fruits are called “dried plums” or prunes, although, in many countries, prunes are a distinct type of dried plum having a wrinkled appearance.”
Go figure!
@Kralinho It’s the chanterelle season right now in Finland! They are bloody marvelous!!
If it’s in Wikipedia then it must be true.
I did find myself checking something on W earlier, only to hurriedly realise what I was doing and find another source.
I’m pleased to hear the plums are tasting good in Finland. Did you have a weirdo-hot summer, as we did in blighty? I still have a tomato plant producing quite delicious fruits. But then I use seaweed a bit to fertilise crops. Perhaps that explains it.
I can’t believe you ended up in a pomology discussion ZL.
You must be down your cellar again :big-lol:
Pomology is my middle name! We did have a weirdo hot and dry summer, it was great for growing chilipeppers! I think the first fruits started developing in May this year, whereas normally they come in July! That was unheard of! Guess it’s the climate change… I do love red hot chilipeppers (not the band!!!!), thank god for the Columbian Exchange!
Is all this talk about plums, prunes and other stone fruit, some sort of coded language?
I wonder if you fellows will wake up today with aching hangovers???
In France, a plum is actually called a prune – with the dried varieties going by the name of ‘pruneaux’, or ‘prunilles’ (different variety). The ones from Agen are most famous. No hint of comparison with the skin of our ageing ‘congenères’ (fellow human beings – just to be politically correct!). Hmmm, all this talk sounds like something akin to a BBC cricket commentary, when rain stops play, and we’re into our 14th hour of interesting anecdotes about boiled fruit cake recipes received from folk in Kent, Worcestershire and northern parts of Yorkshire! No offence to FPL players from those parts of the world, bien sûr!
Morning AJW
Excellent mention of Le Pruneau de Agen. My brain wasn’t quick enough last night. I’ve spent some happy times in the Lot-et-Garonne . Marmande tomatoes are pretty good as well, from that neck of the woods.
It did get a bit TMS last night – after all, what do they know of fantasy football who only fantasy football know – a chance mention of the Cardiff fixture led to ZL talking about plums. The Wikipedia mention was possibly down to my criticising W the other day, but may not have been.
I was as sober as a judge, sadly – just one beer passed my intemerate lips last night.
I hope your GW is going ok.
I’ve got my wildcard so might do this soon. Largely depends what liverpool start doing
Liverpools fixtures are fine.
I think drinking deep from City and Liverpool is OK. 14 games, 12 wins, 2 draws. I think.
GW going krappily (re: puns on Beckett play titles!) for someone who’s just used his WC (and I don’t mean the ‘conveniences’, although I wish I had!) – looking down the barrel of a 60-odd score. Huzzah! Obliged to keep Kun and Salah, een tho the rest of the crowd is swaying towards Kane & Mané et co.!
How does this look for a first WC draft?
Bellerin and Holebas I’m thinking of swapping to Luiz and whomever I can afford.
Thats a damn fine team.
Only an idea, but how about Salah to Mane and Aguero to Kane with a view of then doing Kane to Aguero the next gameweek? Don’t know how much value you have tied up in Sergio, mind.
Cheers lads. I was thinking of Kane and would love him in there for Spurs’ fixtures. Honestly I was thinking of going without Kun and putting Sterling in instead but I was advised by a family member that Kun has a lot of ownership and if he goes off on one I could be up a creek.
What do you think?
I am considering a similar move myself. Kim has been solid but Sterling seems to be picking up the points right now. I’ll probably chicken out and not do it though
You needed a family member to point out that Kun may be highly owned?!
Lose Salah and Laca can become Kane and enjoy the best of both?
No I just never look at that shit and forget it can backfire big time haha
I’m going to have another tinker but the main guts of the team is there. It’s just fitting it altogether within budget
What do ye think of this?
Patricio (Hamer)
Robertson – Luiz – Obi Wan – Doherty – Duffy
Mane – Haz – Maddison – Knockaert – Fernandinho
Kun – Kane – Kamara
0.4 itb
Nope, next!
Not for me! Fernandinho/Knockaert is risky to say the least! Defense is great but somehow feels you need to make too many sacrifices just to have Kun & Kane in the lot!
Yeah I’ve changed it already haha. I’ve made the following changes which also feels risky but a but more nailed on.
Robertson -> TAA
Knock -> Fraser
Fernandinho -> Sterling
Kun -> Murray
Why not Kun to Jimenez, instead of Murray? Give you a bit more dosh and may well end up with a similar points’ haul over the next few weeks. Or get Mitrovic, who has a sunnyish set of fixtures until Liverpool.
Brighton have brilliant fixtures all the way to GW17 and with Murray on penos as well he could be interesting.
If the midweek games go without injuries I am gonna use the 2 FT for Salah/Auba-Hazard/Kane which leaves me with 1.6(maybe less with the expected price changes) ITB for future adjustments.
Great moves Ivan. Go for it! 😀
Yep, Thursday evening that is. You know me, not risking for the sake of -1 😉
Haha, yes you’re fine coz you can afford to wait, regardless of price moves 😉
Go for it Ivan, all being well come Thursday night, of course. The only caveat is the fixtures that Liverpool then run into after that which are pretty good. Given as you haven’t used it yet would you then consider WC’ing to fix that and maybe a few other issues that look like they may need typing up?
That is true init, I rely on the WC for any changes of the waves.
In the meantime I think that the pool’s honeymoon will be over soon despite the so called “easy” upcoming fixtures. Only time will tell.
It just struck me when I saw your team and then your proposed moves that one may actually go hand in hand with the other quite nicely. It’s a fairly aggressive strategy and leaves you without a WC for later but just a thought.
I should add in fairness (do as I say, not do as I do and all that…) that I intend to keep mine as late as possible to have a fresh team to attack Part 2 of the season with.
Spot on init. I promised myself to keep it for as late as possible even we know that it will be widely used during the IB.
True story, so determined was I to time the last one correctly that I actually played it at 8am on 27th December last year. In bed. I’d like to say I was still hungover but in reality that was still about 6 hours away given the days ‘events’ prior to it and a 4am finish! (I have 2 Christmas Days, Boxing Day being the 2nd of them, long story!!!). I’d set my alarm and had my notes ready though.
Basically I do think leaving it late is the best policy but I wouldn’t be averse to going early if that felt right in the circumstances.
Haha, that is a nice story. Were you one of the many like me who decided that Kane was a must TC for New Year’s day….we all know the outcome 😆
Good moves mate! Maybe…. Predicting the future is hard 😉
No one can predict the future in FPL ZL. I am training myself to abstain from FOMO 🙂
I don’t rate Wally, Rich or Maddison better amigo
Yes, but these are on and off performers Zorro. There are only few consistent players and we can’t have them all. Plus, expected easy/difficult fixtures are no guarantee for win or loss as we’ve seen it many times.
Yeah, true I guess
First wc draft.
Im not that good at this game so some help would really be appreciated.
I like this to a point, but no City is bonkers, get some city in; Sterling/Kun maybe and come back!
What he says!
Mendy is coming in for Trippier when he is fit. But I do not know which attacker to get. Are we sure about Sterling?
I know this has been mentioned, but what do the top FF247’ers, Smash, Kralin et al think of this for a one week punt:
GW8:
Salah->Hazard
Aguero->Kane
then revert back for GW9 due to Liverpool’s fixture against Huddersfield, and hoping Salah has found his shooting boots?
My only concern for GW8 is that Ederson is my only playing goalie (Speroni is my benched goalie)
I’m obviously not a top 247er 😉 but I like it.
You are better than me so you can comment Rosco
That’s debatable, at best! I bet you know how to hide an excel column, just for example…. :hippo:
We can just right click the column and then select hide. Now we all know
Equal playing field!
Ahh excel, such a great program, it gives legitimacy to morons everywhere that they ‘know how computers work’ #yeahsureillcreateanotherbanner
How can you judge if you’ve never used it?! And how have you never used it, more to the point!
It’s like turning up at an interview and saying ‘no sorry, missed that maths lesson when they taught addition’….
I wasn’t taking the piss by the way, I know you’ve had a rough day, I just find it funny and also astonishing that you can create nearly every graphic we have on the site at a moments notice, the one below in particular took less than an hour, yet when presented with an excel sheet you go all weird on us
Sunday Sun headline ‘broken man kicked in the stomach whilst already bleeding out on the pavement’ local woman who witnessed altercation said ‘ he was already down, you could see he was in a bad way, then this big fella with a scouse accent give him a good booting, it seemed a bit harsh on the bloke on the ground, he seemed to just give up and accept that this was how it was going to be. I think he was a Geordie, poor bloke had probably had his fair share having to watch that dross at St James without that no bigger than 6 foot scouse bloke wading in …
He probably just lay down, for a Geordie power nap….
Thanks for the flattering words H. Nice result for your lot today.
Of that quartet you’d think Kane will be the highest points’ scorer next week. But I’d be loath to do what you suggest as I’m sure Salah will get a few chances next week; probably more than Aguero.
You’re chasing points a bit rather than playing the steady game.
However – if you really fancy doing it (and for god’s sake wait until after the Euro games) then just go for it. Kane could bang in 3 next week.
No worries Kralin. Credit where credit is due, especially from all the help back in the FFF days. Yes, excellent result for us today. Expected of course…lol
Agree i some respects about Kane and Salah, but for some reason, Salah has gone off the boil. Only other way would be to drop Firmino to a cheaper striker. Would that be a better way?
Agreed again, only chasing for this week as the gap is getting bigger and want to stem the tide for this game week.
And dont worry, it wont be till after the CL games as only a 1 week punt.
For a one week punt Murray could work as your cheap striker.
Kralin, against the Hammers, how very dare you…..lol
Could always go Ashley Barnes, against Huddersfield…lol
My only other concern is my goalie, but that puts me into deeper trouble. Ederson is my only playing goalie next weekend
Well, I’ve had Fabianski alone since day 1 and would swap my er left little toe for Ederson (though not next week). So I wouldn’t worry about that. At least you chose him for your premium goalkeeper, not de Gea.
Has Barnes played 90 mins this season? Or 45 mins, come to think of it.
Check out Mitrovic’s fixtures.
True, its only one week, what harm can it do.
As for Barnes, dont think his total playing time even comes to 90 minutes this season..lol… ok, just over…. think I got carried away with who they play next.
Mitro has Arsenal next, but only want a striker for 1 week, as will be getting Firmino back for Huddersfield whitewash.
I’m so torn on that one. Really can’t decide. Still not sold on Kane but did not see him today. Cardiff at home is as good as it gets though
Kun is carrying an injury so swapping him for Kane seems more logical than it did.
Thats interesting to know Kralin. Didnt know that
Pep said something about it after the game. Heel problem.
Source = match report in The Guardian.
Anyhow MOTD time. Cheers.
Yeah I saw that something that he has been struggling with for some time apparently but I don’t know
Here’s my squad as it stands for next week with saving my ft. The only player I’m worried about not having is Hazard. Just can’t see how I fit him in…
Hey Pancho how much in the bank mate?
You will need a hit for that Pancho with only 0.4 ITB.
Robertson-AAT to get the cash and then Mane-Hazard.
Mane + Pogba > Hazard + Maddison might work for -4
