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…

Contemplating hitting the button – first draft team, any thoughts welcome.
Can’t seem to attach screenshot so team is (wildcard draft):
Elliot Krul
Hegazi Stones Davies Azpi Mbemba
Silva Richarlison Carroll Coutinho Grob
Jesus Kane Vardy
0.4 ITB
hegazi to ward or simpson
i dont trust WBA defence
Mbemba seemingly got dropped, either way I don’t think you need both him and Elliot.
How is this for a WC 1st draft. Any recommendations?
Would like to have Jesus but would have to get RLC instead of Groß then Vardy out.
1.0 ITB
Fabianski
Dawson Davies Kolasinac
T.Carroll Doucoure Coutinho D.Silva
Vardy Kane Lukaku
Elliot Groß Mee Hunemeier
or maybe kola to monreal
vardy to jesus
btw how much is dawson? will go for simpson for cheapor option
Cheers for this
I’m tinkering with a WC team, many possibilities including my Full on Attack team.
Is that defence just too thin??
What defence?
Mbemba was left out of the Newcastle squad for the Liverpool game so he can’t be counted on and Rangel isn’t getting a game for Swansea.
Simpson, Fernandez & Mee are all good value but I’d like to see one decent defender in there.
Up front I’m not sure there’s a need for double Liverpool.
I figured a Liverpool fan would appreciate a no defence approach.
I appreciate the problems it causes
Defence would worry me as would Firmino’s gametime with CL qualification and Sturridge seems to be coming back into contention..
I quite like it. I’d change KDB to Silva and stick Jesus in for Firmino. I’d want another playing defender in there though as you only have 3
Thanks for the comments. I’m sure I will experiment with a 5 man defence team as well.
Regards Firminio, I had him from start, liked him until Mane was suspended. Now Mane back was hoping he would play central again and pick up where he left off, or that won’t happen?
He is good value.
Any ideas on ways to improve this team guys?
Considering Morata to Jesus if Morata is ruled out of the Palace game next week.
Or taking a -4 hit to change Morata to Vardy, Salah to Hazard. Need something different…
Thanks
ATAEman.. thumbs up for Morata to Vardy, if Morata is ruled out..Won’t take Salah out if you’ve built up value on him..
Thanks Constantine. Will probably switch to Jesus though..
Changing the subject….doesn’t the two week break seem to last an eternity.
Only one thing worse than the international break…the FA bloody cup.
At least there is an interest in the home nations qualifiers, no-one cares about the FA Cup.
Come on Scotland, home win against Slovakia and an away win in Slovenia secures second place in the group and should guarantee a play off place.
Jamie
I have to disagree on the FA Cup. I guess you support one of the top four? I think it’s a huge shame that the financial importance of the Premier League results in top teams playing weakened sides, but for the other 72 professional football league clubs, plus the 700+ amateur teams that compete every year, the magic of the cup is very much still there. In my opinion, it’s by far the greatest cup competition in the world.
I was talking in Fantasy Football sense that all the two week breaks are a pain in the backside.
I am Scottish so the English FA Cupis not as relevant to me.
My English team was always Man City…I remember as a 10 year old, Tommy Hutchinson og against Spurs in the FA Cup Final. Spurs won the replay with the amazing Ricky Villa goal. Pretty sure Kevin Reeves??? scored a stunner which I guess is forgotten about.
As a kid, the magic of the FA Cup final was real even in Scotland in those days.
Possibly because in those days a live tv game was such a treat and Wembley is such an iconic stadium with the pitch looking so good.
Ah the good old days….
Jamie
The magic of the cup certainly isn’t what it was. It’s such a shame because it’s such a unique competition. I think you’ve probably got a point about TV games being a treat and Wembley being more iconic back in the day. Playing the semi’s there has had a major negative impact.
If I were you I would be quite happy sitting inside the top 1k for two weeks though 😉 Congrats again by the way. Cracking start.
Australia have just started with the FFA cup, similar concept to FA cup. Everyone loves the Cinderella stories, great for local soccer.
I always enjoy the brerak as it means I can forget about FPL for a while.
I’m old school though as I still enjoy international football and the FA Cup. I realise the standard of football in the qualifiers isn’t great but I still believe that playing for your country at a major tournament should be held in high regard. I also think it’s a shame that the FA Cup is no longer what it once was. As a kid I used to love the 3rd round and the shocks it threw up and FA Cup final day was always the highlight of the season.
The break up of Yugoslavia and Soviet Union has ended up in so many meaningless games for the top nations.
Plus the seeding of the top nations makes it almost impossible not to qualify with 10 games to play. Holland may be the exception to the rule.
How proud must you feel representing your country.
Easy to say but if I was a player I would never retire from international football. The manager would need to retire me.
Jamie
The fall of communism has a lot to answer for!
Being Irish, I don’t have to sit through any meaningless games. I do however sit through an awful lot of terrible games
J Mc – You have not linked your 247 site name with your FF team – any reason? If not follow instructions in Help section. It is just good to know what team the writer has.
Hi Colonial,
Don’t know how – lol.
I will try to follow instructions.
Thanks
Jamie
Help, I don’t understand the instructions to link my team (might as well been in a foreign language).

I love the coverage of the FA cup here in the States. We don’t get any (very little) Championship or League 1 coverage here so it’s nice to learn about some of the clubs we don’t get to see play here. Some great stories and personalities in the last few years…. pie-eating keeper come to mind
Guys we have a Bore off! on the way, just give me a bit to get it ready.
I’m excited. My 5 minutes of fame is imminent…
Yeah well I’m representing the bad start lol
