Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 7
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 7. Your last chance for some FPL points before we go off again on another pointless international break and all your star players get to globe trot like carbon emissions are a thing of the past. GW7 spans just Saturday and Sunday this time and we begin with Spurs on the road (that’s good Spurs then) as they go to Huddersfield at lunchtime. We then have five 3pm kick-offs. None of which look particularly exciting if we are being totally honest! Man United hosting Palace may be for those who captained Lukaku, but then again who didn’t! Hence the lack of excitement…
The best game on Saturday (in theory) is being kept back until the evening and sees the current champs Chelsea host the probable next ones Man City. Or so it seems. You could probably have said the same this time last season. And been proven very wrong. Which makes it just the more intriguing this time.
Sunday is a veritable feast, at least compared to last week! Arsenal host Brighton in the early game, Koeman will hope that Niasse can keep him in a job a week longer in the 2.15pm one and then we round the week off with Liverpool going to Newcastle and the TV companies flogging the possibility of another 4-3 classic. Monkeys and typewriters and all that…

Would need to do something re Morata now also
what do you think?
I’m not sure you need to WC. I’m not convinced Sanchez is great value this year, and Rashford’s minutes would worry me. If you do WC, I think I’d go for Hazard over Sanchez. Maybe just look at Morata to Jesus for now?
I agree on Sanchez he’s so expensive
ya probably sleep on it – Ive done the Jesus move anyway
Are you at all concerned at Jesus’ minutes after just getting back from Brazil? Only just crossed my mind. Also, is Kun’s return date any clearer?
The top strikers are dropping like flies
Aguero – have not heard anything. Even if Jesus doesnt start, he is well able to cause damage off the bench
Evening guys. I’m really gutted with Morata’s injury. Is a Grade 2 hamstring absolutely confirmed? If so he’s out for at least a few games, i.e. he’s got to go. I’m really tempted to do Morata to Jesus tonight to avoid price changes. I know it’s gonna be a long IB, but really trying to avoid pricing issues. Am a crazy to move already? Should I even be considering Batshuayi?! Also, anyone know what the Kun prognosis is? If he’s back sooner than initially suspected I’ll be getting frustrated by Jesus’ minutes again. Thanks.
Don’t do anything until next week Banjo!
I know that’s the sensible thing to do, but I’d love to see stats on injuries picked up during the IB, i.e. what are the odds on moving early to avoid price changes. With Morata seemingly definitely out, I can save 0.2 by buying Jesus today.
hey banjo
i have made that move – but I do have my wc in my backpocket if I need it
74.6% of players who go on international duty come back 94.3% fit 😉
50% of that message is factually incorrect!
At least!
Based on these stats I’d say there a strong probability that I won’t make my transfers after price rises and before any decreases occur.
Ben Dinnery says grade 2 and November
Hey guys already activated my WC since Saturday morning so no turning back.
How does this team look? I need a 5.0 mid any suggestions.
The reason why i’m activating my WC is that i am seeing more value in a 4-3-3 formation. The likes of Mooy and Groß had their moments of good scores but their output has dried up recently hence a shift at 4 at the back. Likewise a similarly priced defender say £5.6 like Otamendi (now 5.7) or Jones (5.2) are getting plenty of clean sheets. The way i see it, an extra defender is better than a low priced mid. Traditionally I have stuck with a 3-4-3 but now I am determined to try out the new 4-3-3 formation. At the back i have covered the top teams in Chelsea, Man Utd., Man City and Arsenal so I’m going with DDG to Courtois, Hegazi to Jones, Cresswell to Otamendi, and brought in Monreal as well. For my midfielders I have decided to ship out Alli for Silva (I have Kane for Spurs coverage), Mkhiki to Coutinho (feels a bit wrong shipping Mkh but already have Lukaku upfront and United fixtures getting a bit tougher). Up top I’m taking out Firminho (recently subbed by Klopp and going with Coutinho for Pool coverage) to Vardy (wanted Morata but will be out a few weeks)
What you guys think? Are my moves justifiable? I’m making some bold switches like DDG to Courtois. Chelsea defenders are expensive and difficult to fit in this squad. Also Mkhiki to Courtois is a bold move. Any suggestions guys?
Sorry the last part should read: Also Mkhiki to Coutinho is a bold move.
Hi Eagle. Nice looking team. Stones is 0.2 cheaper I think. Mbemba didnt play the weekend so perhaps a 4.5 like Naughton might give some options. Grobb to a 4.5 gives u the funds you need I think?
Dreamers – Stones is at 5.6 but I do prefer Otamendi’s goal threat. I can do Groß to a 4.5 mid like Cork and keep Richarlison. Mbemba just a filler. So my team would be:
Courtois
Jones – Davies – Otamendi – Monreal
Silva – Richarlison – Coutinho
Lukaku – Kane – Vardy
Subs: Elliot, Mbemba, Cork, Carroll
cant argue with that team Eagle.
i’m thinking the same way. Was 60k ranked two weeks ago, now 283k ranked and i blame my midfield. didn’t help trading out davis before last weekend.
Decided that this week would be my WC week. Haven’t activated it yet but have already traded in Davis & Fellaini for price rises.
to get the decent forwards, the option of playing 4 defenders is a very good one.
i was thinking of paying less for the defenders, a 4.5 keeper and maybe going only 2 of Jones/Davis/Otam/Monreal and a couple of 4.5 defenders like Mee/Ward/Simpson.
That will let me get 3 gun midfielders like Silva, Coutinho & Mkhit
2 Gun forwards Luka & Kane and 1 mid-price Vardy/Firmino
Say:
Hart/Elliott
Simpson, Otamendi, Monreal, Mee (Mbemba)
Mkhitaryan, Silva, Coutinho (Fellaini, Carroll)
Lukaku, Kane, Firmino
Feels like you are making the right moves at the right time to me Eagle.
You think so Innit. I’m seeing a 4-3-3 formation as the way to go at the moment.
Can’t disagree when I keep getting 2 points at best from my crap midfielders and them being shown up by the defenders each week. Ultimately it’s one position though. It’s also probably what we consider a ‘premium’ defender as opposed to what we consider a ‘mid priced’ midfielder too. Take Ince for a perfect example. He’s 5.9m now. Was 6:0. I could have done a lot more with a 6.0 defender than having him stinking the place out each week I’m sure.
That’s a good example there. Imagine having Otamendi/Monreal these past few weeks and playing 4-3-3 with Ince to a 4.5 sub midfielder. On another note, both of us have the same amount of points and identical rank. Hello twin brother. LOL.
Haha, we do indeed. Spooky! I’d get Rooney in for Kane if I were you 😉
Rooney in for Kane! that’s insane lol.
There was a touch of irony in that Eagle
Can’t really argue against those moves. Playing the fixtures
Yea Smash and playing form as well with Silva and Coutinho. Wanted Chelsea in my team but can only fit Courtois in there. Wanted Morata but his injury changed my plans.
Yeah I agree.
Looks very wise to me Eagle and every thing you say makes sense.
Its a shame no real bargain has yet emerged in midfield – maybe they will soon.
No Chelsea outfield may hurt – but with Morata out its only really Hazard that you’d want out of the strikers and mids.
Only Hazard and Morata were the Chelsea offensive players I had in mind. Not sure on Fabregas, Pedro or Willian’s playing time. As you say, no bargain midfielder has emerged yet.
hi Eagle, +1 positive feedback to your team.. you will like 4 at the back given the running trend.
i started the season with a 442 and i really liked the flexibility and i cannot complain about my ranks niether.. however now i need to bring in a 3rd heavy striker so the WC button has been pushed here as well…
i have moved up 1.3 million places since i changed to 4-3-3, now that might be just luck since its just two gws.
Cant find much wrong with youre picks, i opted for cheaper goalies Pope and Elliot and and put some more money in the mf, but i think your way is better.
My mf players have beed dissapointing all season.
Anyway Richarlison to Brady and Mbemba to Naughton or Ward might be an option
Evening all!
And where’ve you been all day young man?! Officially
Errr at my desk 😉
Yeah this is true 😉
I’m having a massive u-turn on the Morata to Jesus move – and I’m now thinking of plumping on Batman. I know Conte made an odd decision against City, but wasn’t that just cos it was City? With Chelsea’s next 3 being Palace, Watford & Bournemouth I’m thinking Batty Boy has to be worth a punt?!
Bananaman considering buying Batman. What could possibly go wrong?! 😉
It’s a sign
An odd looking sign, but a sign nonetheless!
with that move i’d still wait the pressers.. but not a bad idea
If he doesn’t play in those 3 matches he might as well leave the club.
i see no reason for Chelsea playig without a striker but it happened on the weekend..
I’m slightly guessing, but I think it only happened because it was City. At the start of the season, when Conte was weening Morata in, it was Batman playing up top.
Think Pedro can play up front too
Yeah Pedro could play there as well. Bats has been scoring you would think he will get the nod
My new plan morata to Vardy and Fab to hazard. Would leave 0 itb.
Thoughts would be taking a 4 hit
Quite like it actually. I’d say there’s a good chance you’ll (at least) make the 4 back immediately.
they are quality trades
Agree with the others – solid and sensible trades assuming no injuries over the internationals.
solid transfers i think. i will probably do Firmino to Vardy or that chelsea Bat guy
