FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 7
Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 7
Feast or famine
We hope you like your football ‘Saturday heavy’! This may be a ‘DGW’ of sorts, and as such there are 11 fixtures, but 8 of them are on Saturday, with 3 in the 3 days that follow.
Villa and Brighton kick us off at 12.30pm. That is then followed by no less than six 3pm games; Bournemouth v Arsenal, Everton v Luton, Man Utd v Palace, Newcastle v Burnley, West Ham v Sheffield Utd and Wolves v Man City. If that wasn’t enough excitement then Spurs and Liverpool face-off at 5.30pm.
It’s then slow and sedentary each day. Sunday sees Brentford at Palace at 2pm. On Monday at 8pm we have Fulhham v Chelsea and then the ‘DGW’ concludes our weekend on Tuesday at 7.30pm, as Luton welcome Burnley.
The games in full…

Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
Good luck to absolutely everyone for Gameweek 7 from all at FF247!

I feel like Jesus >> Watkins is inevitable this week, tempted to pull the trigger on it before his price rises
OddDane
He already rose 8.0 today. It’s mental how quick the prices mive this year.
Gavy
I can’t believe Salah has also hone up. They are definitely doing increases on form and fixtures this year
IvanTheTerrible
It looks like they’ve started the fantasy Bundesliga system where transfers in and out don’t matter, it’s all about the player’s performance which determines the price fluctuation.
Reg83
This was always the case Ivan. Even in UCL fantasy, it’s performance that determines the price.
They have mentioned in the rule section how price changes happen.
IvanTheTerrible
I am going to try avoiding the hysteria. Remember how did it go with Son, scored a hatty in GW 4 and then blanked at home against Sheffield. That said, let’s see what happens on Thursday in the EL.
Gavy
Very true Ivan. But o have held him since and he has scored 3 in 3 games now
bundeena bunnies
Already done. Watkins upcoming matches look pretty good.

Which one is better to play?
I created a league on Cricket Draft as that’s what we used last time.
http://thecricketdraft.com/world-cup/leagues/join/fbb21242bd5f
Reg83
Both are good but the icc one is the official one. U basically have 3 free transfers on average for each game but there are no gameweeks. And u have 7 boosters or chips.
I have auto filled the cricket draft one for now.
If more people join cricket draft here I am fine playing there too.
inittowinit
I’m easy either way Reg, we just need to decide on one.
Let’s see what Paddy, Kop etc say, assuming they see this.
bundeena bunnies
I joined both
Reg83
So let’s play the official game? Pls join the league I sent in the link above
inittowinit
Ok Reg, I’m in that one now.
Prepare to get hammered.
Kop Warrior
There are 5 entries in cricket draft, but only 4 in the official game!
The Padster
Forgot all about this, i shall play both, i like the Cricketdraft one as it’s easy to play and run in the UK,
inittowinit
Paddy, I’m not doing the Draft one, just the ICC one. One is enough!
The Padster
There’s only 3 in the draft one any way, happy with the official one as I’m sure that’s the one we did the last world cup in, it seems familiar anyway
Kop Warrior
I’ll certainly play. Will probably only play one though.
Is everyone playing the official one?
AJW
Hey guys, I joined the Cricket Draft one, as it’s easy (already registered) – are you in the official one too?
BTW, do I appear in the league for Cricket Draft?
Kop Warrior
I think it has been decided that we’ll play the official game. It’s very easy to play.
inittowinit
Yeah play the official one, not the draft one that I posted.
AJW
Okay I will give it a go. Thanks!
Reg83
Yes pls join. Just half a day remaining for the cricket World cup!
bundeena bunnies
Yep. Super keen.
Reg83
Less than 2 days left! Please join. Another useful feature in official game is transfers get only locked when match starts.
So u can make transfers before hand if u want but then change it after seeing lineup if required.
bundeena bunnies
Great time for Aussies. Games are starting either 4pm or 7.30pm.
Perfect Time to make any team adjustments
Reg83
I am in India where it’s taking place. I will be going to the stadium to watch NZ vs srilanka in November.
Very difficult to get tickets but got for this match.
AJW
I’ve registered for the official game, but I am unable to create a team. I’ve been to the instructions on how to play and stuff, but to no avail! I may just get left behind on this one!
)
(What’s new???
AJW
Clicking on ‘My Matches’, but nothing appears. Like some of the Aussie ball tamperers a couple of years ago, I seem to be banned from the competition! Hahaha! 😉
AJW
Oops – got there!
Reg83
Booked tickets also for the aus vs pak match
Once u create team, it should look like this.
Matches start at 2pm local though some days there will be double headers starting at 10:30am.
inittowinit
@AJW you aren’t in the league?!
inittowinit
@Paddy Pyne?
AJW
Hey Innit, finding it very complicated to get it up and running. It won’t let me enter because it says my profile details are incomplete. Also do we have to have a team for every match? ??
inittowinit
Pick a team to begin with and then you have 135 transfers across all the matches.
AJW
Well – finally in! But I can assure you that yesterday it was blocking me left right and centre! Now all’s good and I’m even in the league under ‘Numbats in the Belfry’. Good luck!
Reg83
5 mins to start.
bundeena bunnies
Interesting to see different tactics already in play
Reg83
Yup I ve gone with power keeper. Many will go double up for all players which is also good tactic.
Some will play it later.
Kop Warrior
I was quite surprised when I saw how many had used boosters. Thought never crossed my mind!
Reg83
The world champs taking a proper beating here
bundeena bunnies
I’ll save my team double until the first final.
Doubled up on keepers in first match, including C and VC
The Padster
England v Bangladesh
The Padster
Pakistan v Sri Lanka
The Padster
Afghanistan v India
The Padster
Australia v S Africa

Hey guys – regarding the ICC ‘Dream’ comp, does anyone have an idea of the workings of the ‘Super Transfer’ Booster? I’ve tried looking at descriptions, but it just seems like a WC. Is it permanent or just a one-off thing like the FH chip? I dunno when I’d be likely to use it, other than in the finals series?
Whatta youse reckon? (Sorry, that’s rather poor English isn’t it?)
Reg83
It’s exactly the same as Wildcard. Change team completely and it stays that way till u make it transfers again.
There is no point holding it till semis or final bcoz after the group stage and before the semis u anyways get unlimited transfers same way u get in uefa cl fantasy before knockouts.
I just used mine before the eng vs afg game as my team was stacked with India pak and NZ players.
AJW
Thanks Reg – that’s very kind of you.
Problem is I don’t know when to WC. I’ve been getting by with just transfers and stacking for games I thought were a chance (but didn’t turn out that way, like my 4 English players yesterday against Afghanistan, as I thought the Afghanis looked like they had become the easy beats of the comp, but twas not to be so!). To start with (after my debacle of the opening 5 matches where I didn’t know what I was doing) I set myself the goal of keeping certain players, but then the need to chase points meant that I had to sell them to get in people from upcoming (sometimes 2 or 3 matches in advance, but still) fixtures. It’s now become a hand to mouth trading existence, and to slow down the rate of trades I’m having to slow things down, like for today’s match where I only have 2 players, because I’m so uncertain about the Aussies, and I don’t know what the Sri Lankans are capable of!
Anyway, sounds like I need to go back to the planning board, and map out a few likely trades and maybe WC if I see a pattern in the upcoming fixtures.
Thanks again – I know I’m going on and on, but I had to explain the whole situation! Cheerio!
MrMajeika
Think I’m going to activate my WC tonight. Had a very poor start to the season and think my team needs a change unless anyone can give me a reason to hold off a bit longer
inittowinit
It’s hardly a bad team and can be fixed up gradually. How bad is bad?!
MrMajeika
5.5m rank
Elleffcee
I’m nearly 5 million OR. Just keep smiling Mr M and don’t worry about your OR, enjoy the fantasy and don’t let it get you down.
Reg83
I had a similar team esp. mid and fwd line and have activated my WC. I would WC this and get rid of non performing Manu players, mbuemo, sterling etc plus defenders like estu and botman and target Newcastle. spurs, villa, Liverpool, etc.
tiijayz
Agree with Reg83, also depends on how many immediate transfers out you want to do. United players + Sterling probably need to go at 1st glance. I have had them both all season too and it is painful LOL
AJW
It’s a funny old game isn’t it?
I took a 4pt hit and sold Pickford, Chillwell and Jota for Botman, Areola and Bowen, with a 12 pt gain (minus the 4pts and 2 more pts for Estupinan!) which means I was 6pts better off (net gain), but still got red arrows. I feel kind of good in a strange way!
tiijayz
hahahaha that is indeed the game of this season. Good thing though you are set up better for the next few GWs too with those moves.
bundeena bunnies
I don’t mind taking a hit if it gives instant reward. Should do it more often
Reg83
This gw I removed chilwell and Wilson out for a hit and got in trippier and morris who I captained. Already got 28 (-4) from these 2 plus wherever morris as c gets vs Burnley. Not often hits are this successful though.
bees393
How can I improve this WC team? 0 ib – Cheers!
IvanTheTerrible
I would say Son is enough for Spurs cover. If you replace Maddison with JWP you will have quite a bit of dosh to beef up the defence or elsewhere. WHU have a long streak of favourable fixtures all the way up to Christmas.
bees393
Thanks Ivan. Was thinking of making the switch when Spurs good run ends.
What a shit show this past week was. Hope you did well.
