Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 9
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 9. We get started early with our FPL weekend with a Friday match up of West Ham’s Jose ‘2 point’ Hernandez vs that guy with the weird B or double ss, Groß from Brighton. Saturday then sees the struggling champions Chelsea facing off against the surprising Hornets. Five 3pm games follow that lunch time affair. Huddersfield host the ‘scared of Liverpool’ Manchester United, City go for 10 goals vs Burnley, Newcastle takes on Hodgson and all his memes, Stoke show their face vs Bournemouth and Swansea tangle with the Shakespeare-less Leicester. Sunday brings a conclusion to GW9 with Everton and their soon to be sacked Koeman versus the will never be sacked Wenger and his castrated XI. That is followed by the best fixture on paper when future Real Madrid star Harry Kane trolls his GW8 FPL captaincy backers by scoring a brace vs Liverpool in what hopefully is end to end stuff.

Gameweek Tracker GW9-14
I brought in Aguero and captained him this week.. Quite happy with my ROI… but here’s the thing. He runs into space like an old man…watch his hips, he’s only 29 and a lethal striker when the ball is at his feet but I’m not sure of his production for the rest of the season after watching his movement today. Car crash and all.. I get it.. I’ve bruised or broken ribs before (you never really know unless you get an x-ray) and it’s not a fun recovery, but I think Jesus gets the start next weekend, is favored by Pep and I’m considering Aguero->Jesus this week. Crazy talk or……?
Agree..but he looked good with the shots he took. It’s just that we are right now comparing him with the likes of Jesus and Sterling/Sane. But, if he’s going to start every game and get goals every game (either by penalties or open play) i don’t think why he shouldn’t be in our teams
It is a conundrum. I’m not saying that he won’t get goals from here on.. but you’re right Constantine, Sterling, Sane and Jesus are younger and hassle for the ball better.. I like work ethic, Alexis was my guy last year because he never stopped moving, I want Kun to do well but I don’t have the faith in him or his manager right now to deliver my points..and he’s showing his age already..
The trust on manager things applies to every city player right now barring KDB and silva.. Rest all are bound to get rotated every now and then, including Kun. There’s another way of looking at things here. With his experience, he can always be at right spots, like he did against Watford.. Even yesterday he was at few good places to have scored. But yes, if you say that the funds invested in him could be utilized better somewhere else, can’t argue on that part. Same for Hazard, Sanchez. Hence their low ownership. Kane didn’t score in one game and his price fell within a wek, which is crazy imo. Don’t know where this is going, but i hope I’m making some sense
You’re making perfect sense, and mirroring my thoughts. I’m not touching Alexis or Hazard until those guys prove their worth consistently this year.. I don’t own him yet, but Richarlison shows that desire (and stupidity) and will be in the squad soon. As for City, Sane shows hunger and seems to have something to prove and he might be the next guy I go for if Pep shows his faith in him.
Terrible GW 27 points with Kane (C) to go.. oh my
At least you have your capo left – I have seen many below your number without their capo left.
Its a low scoring GW, so don’t let it get you down.
Kane hatrick??
That woukd save many a GW, esp those like you and the many who have vc’d him and capo’d Sterling!
Fingers crossed.
Guys..need your suggestions on my WC team. Draft two with Diouf in. No Chelsea cover worries me. Should I do something about Eriksen? Don’t have balls to let Kane go.. Any other options?
Hey Constantine,
Hope you’re ok and getting some sleep!
Re your wildcard, its ok but i’ll be honest and say I haven’t seen one WC team that I really like yet and that includes mine last week
Your midfield is great which means you are compromising your 3rd striker and defence – this is the problem this season.
Diouf is certainly in form but I’m not sure how sustainable that is considering his wing back position. But the alternatives are equally as inconsistent- Abraham, Wood, those Toon jokers so I guess you may as well stick to form.
Re your cheap defenders, do they rotate well?
Hello Cookie.. Really pissed with somebof the decisions made this season, like removing Aguero before Watford game and Batshuayi this week. Same thing happened last season when I removed Kane in the final few weeks and he scored a hattrick and about 50 odd points. Made me lose a decent rank and a probable top 10k or may be 5k position. But, i don’t learn.. and yet again, we can’t have all the weeks as good weeks and need to prepare for the best.
Anyways, regarding this season’s team structure, all the high price players are doing good, but not consistently. It’s just like all of them have become Lukaku suddenly. So, if one scores good one week, the crowd starts making arrangements to get him in, the next week, someone else scores good and we start cursing ourselves for not having him. I think, if we can only have 5 big hitters in the front with Richarlison as a decent 3rd/4th mid, depending on the formation. We’ve got to have either one of Carrolls/Surmans or Dioufs as the 7th guy in the front. Hazard or Morata is a gamble which everyone would have to take..Same with Jesus and Kun or Sane and Sterling. It’s just luck as in which playet clicks on which day. I’d like to have 2 decent defs like Walker/ one from Spurs/Utd and rest could be fillers with probability of getting a CS.
You are absolutely correct on the part that we can’t have perfect Wildcard team this season.
I like the team on the whole. I’d prefer Morata and Moting instead of Diouf and Eriksen. Can’t see Diouf keeping up with this form
Cheers Smash..Like Morata very much, but his form and temperament was awful yesterday. OTOH, Hazard looked much more involved and a dangerous threat to the opposition.
Yeah I get that don’t think he’s fully over that hamstring problem. I think he will outscore Hazard over the season
I got Hazard in last week’s WC and it was a mistake – he is overpriced in a team that is lacking confidence and compared to the cheaper options of Erik, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Salah etc
Morning Cookie
I brought in hazard Friday and do agree with what your saying but from what I have saw midweek and yesterday I think he will get some big hauls in the coming weeks!
Morning lads,i brought Hazard in last week as a 2 week punt.He will be leaving my team this week for a Liverpool mid ! 3 out of Chelsea’s next 4 fixtures are away from home and his record away from home is pretty terrible.I think he is an expensive luxury.
Brooky..with the current form he’s in, does he not look fixtures proof, if we ignore the form and fixtures of the rest?
I agree with Brooky. He’s a bit of an expensive luxury. He quite often goes missing in away games. Yeah he’s going to get points but you want more from that price. Pedro is one to keep an eye out for if he starts getting minutes again now he’s back from injury
What form? Let’s be honest we only bought him cos he’d just scored well for Belgium vs Cyprus or some other jubbly oppo and the fact he had Palace next up.
Plus one just cannot ignore the form of others, that’s just telling yourself what you want to hear.
I’m not recommending everyone who has him to offload, that’s your call but there is little solid justification to bring him in right now.
Congrats on the win yesterday Brooky, trust you celebrated accordingly?
What form ? He may be playing well but it isnt reflecting in fpl points.Id have a city mid,Eriksen and Pool mid all before him at the mo.Chuck in Gross and Richarlison and that would be my ideal midfield right now.
By form I didn’t mean returns in the last game. Had Morata been fine and firing, he could’ve had some more gamepoints too i believe.Or may be I’m just a fanboy who wants him to do good. Agree on the part that F&F of other players is much better though
Cheers Cookie.Just a few quiet Jd’s at home taking it all in on social media ! The missus even let me watch match of the day !!
Still in shock to be honest.As i said before after our recent run i thought we might freeze and get a spanking but we were brilliant.Committment desire passion hard work etc so props to the manager for keeping things positive !
Nice one Brooky, fully deserved it seems. Watched the highlights with little interest which I hope you understand!
But I’m very happy for you!
As you say, its a great example of attitude, desire and commitment.
Yes mate.I will say that Jones going off so early was a big plus and his replacement Lindelof was at fault for the 2nd goal.Also Mooy was pushed further forward playing in the 10 role which seemed to work.So anyway yeah deffo one to savour !
Going back to your wc Constant im starting to think that 3-5-2 might be the way forward.The cheaper mids like Gross Richarlison etc are doing better than the cheap forwards and keep chipping in.
Agree Brooky.. Would look forward to 3-5-2 with a budget fifth mod like Surman..
Brooky, how about this one with 3-5-2?Ayew would switch with Surman
Not a bad team that Constantine – how do Surman and Ayew rotate?
Cheers Cookie..barring the nwxt GW they rotate pretty good till GW16 imo.
Take a look at Hemed. Back available, decent stats. He does has to overtake his place from grandpa Murray though.
*have
Im not sure Azpi is worth the money so maybe downgrade there and upgrade Surman to Stanislas ? Bournemouth do have some decent fixtures.How nailed is Mariappa ? But yeah looks decent with a couple of tweaks.
Cheers Brooky..look forward to those options too
Is there a site which gives you information on the week-wise points of players for previous seasons? Just curious
Nobody has that much time.
Haha.. i know.
Whoscored.com
Moyesieeeeee
You’ll need to do an AdG just for the Everton pressers!
Too right, no more this predicted line up rubbish, esp if my mate Pardew gets the Leicester job!
Ha ha id forgotten about Pardew.Would be lots of material for you there every week Cookie !
Oh Lord Pardew for team talk purposes that will be amazing
He will need Fellaini back
Morning fellas, messing around with my team and came up with this for a -8. I was trying to sort out a WC team because I’m bored but realised I didn’t need to change too much. Are these moves worth making?
Lukaku -> Kun
Wood -> Abraham
Carroll -> Richardlison
Maguire -> Duffy
Not sure its worth -8 in my opinion Matt.You need to wait on news on Jones too.
In fact its not as you are basically taking the -8 to crowbar Richarlison in.
Matt, I’d agree with Brooky – a -8 is rarely worth it and I don’t see this as any exception.
Cheers lads I actually agree with you. Like it was meant to be a WC draft but as I started doing it I realised I don’t need to play my WC and a few moves over the coming weeks improves my team anyway. I was just bored Hahah
