Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 17
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 17.
The New Year is here, but don’t worry GW17 is bound to disappoint you in the same ways the previous 16 gameweeks did in 2020. Everton and West Ham get it rolling with the early Friday game and Manchester United hosts Villa in the second and last game of the day.
Saturday brings us four more fixtures. Spurs welcome in Leeds, Palace gets 3 easy points vs Sheffield, Brighton tangles with Wolves and in the last game we see Championship contenders West Brom play Arsenal.
Sunday gives us three more matchups. Burnley play Fulham, Toon take on Leicester and then Chelsea duke it out with City.
Monday sees the last remaining fixture when Saints take on Liverpool.
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 17 from all at FF247!

Loud Atlas
Salah’s third blank in a row 😯 . Where’s the ‘Sell him at once!’ gang? :popcorn:
OddDane
Hello :telephone:
Little Red Lacazette
Don’t do it, he will come good.
Kralin
One of the minorish debates I’ll be having is whether or not to move him on for Son for 18.
Problem is I’ll lose a lotta wonga cos I’ll probably get him back for the double.
Loud Atlas
Yeah that is tricky – I’d imagine there’ll be some people offloading him, maybe enough to lower his price a bit? I think I’m FHing him for KDB (my team’s in a bit of a mess for next week!).
Kralin
Yes that could happen (price going down as KdB drifts into the consciousness of managers).
I need to work out if what I have is enough for 19 as I have more than enough for 18 (apart from Son).
TheDreamers
Keep for the double and then reevaluate.
Kralin
I’ve no real intention of losing him (long-term). May well captain for 19 as nobody else will be (apart from 25% of other managers I daresay).
Have decided that if I do ditch him then DCL will have to be tossed aside in order to get him back (bit of a profit there).
Gavy
I’d want him long term. But if you sold him now. Price drop could happen over the next 2 gws. Could get lucky with kdb
Little Red Lacazette
3 blanks in a row for Mo. No one expected that.
TheDreamers
Had him captain for all 3.
Kralin
No, he was in a fine run of form and had a good set of fixtures. Liverpool have stalled quite badly.
I suppose this stalling will make him a differential captain for 19.
bees393
I was going to swap KDB for Salah next week and take KDB out in 19 for Salah …now I am not so sure about this move…
TheDreamers
I don’t think u can take out Kdb
Kralin
A couple of GW ago KdB was being completely written off. But class is permanent, etc.
As ever it is tricky to juggle Salah/Bruno/Son/KdB. One will always be out of favour in a particular GW.
It may be a case of how lucky are you feeling?
bees393
I left Bedranek in by accident. Was so mad at myself.
83 happy points
TheDreamers
50 here.
Kralin
Bad luck but not cripplingly off the average (not that I know what that will be) so very recoverable.
TheDreamers
True. Was looking to rise in the rankings. Having a poor season
Kralin
Plenty of time to turn things round. Not even half way there yet.
Loud Atlas
64 here :yahoo: – my first 60+ score since GW11 :wacko: .
Kralin
Damn good show. I’ve always been satisfied with something in the region of 50 – 60 points a week.
Tornado
Well done, bees!
91 here. Fair to say my best GW so far. I even have Forster sitting on my bench with 6 points but there was no way of me predicting Saints’ CS, let alone Forster’s heroic debut of the season. I should have asked my magic 8-ball! :laugh2:
Kralin
Excellent return.
Tornado
Thanks Kralin! Those little wins, you know :superman:
How is your week, hope you had a good GW as well
Kralin
Er average I hope, just did enough, I tend to check the morning after the GW ends for the final score (I prefer to find out that way rather than get overly engaged during the GW).
Have a feeling neither of my Liverpool players will be amongst the bonus points.
Tornado
Good approach! I thought it’s going to be a tough game for Pool but did not expect that at all.
Anyway, better luck next week, mate!
bees393
Good job Tornado!
Kralin
Great stuff Bees.
bees393
Thanks Kralin. Finally moving up the ranks a bit. Feel like a kid at Christmas (until I land on my backside next week)!
Otieno
I finished on 58 which will give me a red arrow and lose my FF247 H2H game but it’s just enough to beat my cup first round opponent.
OddDane
Had McCarthy as keeper and got wiped out of the cup on a Salah blank and my opponent getting a CS from KWP. The irony…
IvanTheTerrible
Well, the exactment is still here.
Man U and Spurs with a game in hand and Man City with two, everything to play for :yes:
bees393
For a while now Salah has not been what he used to be.
Will swap him out for KDB next GW.
Gavy
Might follow you on that one bees. Might wait till after the cup game. City playing in the blank, having 2 in the dgw and his 3 games after look good too.
Where as Salah has a blank, manu in his dgw (usually not a big scoring match) and 3 after not as good.
Only issue with kdb is with kun back I’d assume hes off penos
bees393
Still good enough I feel Gavy.
Loud Atlas
The only certain thing this season is SHU going down, right? :mosking:
bees393
Sad for them. They did so well last year. Surely it can’t be just the goalie leaving? What happened to them?
TheDreamers
Jack Connell is a big loss for them. Won a bunch 1:0 last year.
constantine
Out of Cup by 3 points. Salah and Robbo ditched me.
Have never hated this game like this in any season in the past. Nothing seems to be working.
