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!

OddDane
Feeling another ‘you picked the wrong captain’ déjà vu moment…
SAFs_hairdryer
Or maybe you have it right. Either way it’s a decent score with Soucek to come off the bench too
OddDane
Yes that was rather lucky. Still though, this will be a very high scoring week I suspect and if Salah doesn’t deliver I’m probably not in the green
Little Red Lacazette
Salah does well against Soton. Could be up for a 20 pointer like he had in GW 1.
OddDane
Fingers crossed!
Tornado
Subtle way for a humblebrag :biggun: :haha:
OddDane
Not the intention, I suspect it’s a very high scoring week so I’m hoping Mo can save my week! GL too you too Tornado :wink2:
OddDane
to you too*
Tornado
Friendly banter, mate, you know how it is
Thanks, you too!
I do have Mo in my team but captained Bruno (as most weeks) and I am pretty happy with those 20 points from him.
Having a marvelous GW myself, so let’s hope we keep it up in 2021! :drinks:
Kralin
Salah’s not played yet so I wouldn’t fret too much – unless I’m responding to one of the posts of yours that I actually rewrote (I’ve got back to 2018/19, boy it’s been hard work).
OddDane
Attaboy Kralin! Next up, the Ivorian. Now that’s a real biggie.
After then let’s see about whether you can also retrospectively adjust the points… And, let’s hope I don’t need to add Salah to the list after tomorrow’s game :scratch_one-s_head:
Stop me if I’m going to fast:wink:
OddDane
*too…
Well, evidently I was going too fast!
Gavy
God knows why I have been putting up with Patrício for so long… hasn’t scored over 2 points since gw9…
Him to Meslier or McCarthy for 19?
bees393
I’m thinking of bringing in Meslier. Great for save points and sometimes CS.
MattX
I’d say Meslier
Gavy
Cheers lads
Think I’ll make that move
bees393
Saiss :dance: just brought him in.
OddDane
impressive move bees, kudos!
SAFs_hairdryer
Conceding 3 against Brighton isn’t promising for the weeks ahead though.
KP
Should I FH this team or just use the free transfer to get another BGW player probably Martinez? I can take hits if necessary too. Have 0.5 in the bank and 1 FT. Suggestions?
Kruzcampo
Keep Mendy for the double. Shunt Taylor to anyone with a BGW and DGW who is affordable. Maybe Shaw From Utd?
MattX
I’d FH that as you only have 6 players and one of them is Bissouma so that’s basically 5 players and 2 points.
Kop Warrior
I believe Bissouma picked up a yellow card today and is suspended for the next game.
KP
Wouldn’t he serve his suspension in the FA cup game?
Kop Warrior
No. They changed that at the beginning of last season.

Raziel
Another poor week 63 with only 3 players left.
MattX
That’s a great score this week, Raz. What are you talking about? The current overall right now is 39 so you’re well over it.
Raziel
I was kidding mate. One of the writers here did a similar post a few weeks back. :buba:
I guess when I do it…people get more offended. :hippo:
Since the B has been kicked from the site. I’d gladly take the role of asshole. :hippo:
Don’t drop the soap… :big_boss:
Gavy
43 with 4 to go myself
Raziel
I was playing around. From the 3 one us a bencher and he just has 1 point. I’m happy with my score. Nothing to brag or bitch about.
Good luck the last games.
inittowinit
:punish:
Raziel
:butcher:
IvanTheTerrible
66 here with Salah, Cancelo and Zouma to go.
*** in the meantime my B team is on 83 with Salah to play.
banjomaker
I’ve never understood the concept of a B team. I assume whichever team is doing the best is your A team :wink2:
IvanTheTerrible
Banjo, a B team is like some extra fun on the side.
Funny enough, I spend all week pondering on the main one and never more than 10 minutes on the B.
It shows that sometimes careless moves are better.
Kralin
It’s part of the myth of Ivan – it’s what makes him the fantasy legend he is.
As we all know, he spends about 10 seconds each week on a second team that magically always out-performs his main team. It happens every week in every season. It will keep on happening, for ever. It’s a gift that keeps giving and a story none of us ever tire of hearing of.
IvanTheTerrible
Kralin, yes that is so true :yes:
Raziel
Good score Ivan
Shadow
Having a decent one with 55 with Holding, Salah, Stones, Justin & McCarthy to go.
SAFs_hairdryer
We must have the same teams. I have all those to play except Holding who’s just picked up 10 points for us!
Raziel
Wow Shadow. An awesome week for you. Congrats.
Frenchie
Having a good week by my standards with 47 points.
Sometimes you’re really a **** Raziel!
(the **** was a friendly name)
inittowinit
Can we have guesses?
I’ll begin with ‘an arsehole’ :rofl:
Raziel
We all have asshole. You don’t have an arsehole Init? :popcorn:
If it doesn’t come out of your ass… where does it come out of? I know. :punish: :hippo:
inittowinit
Usually your mouth :rofl:
I’m kidding Raz, you know how fond I am of you :friends:
Kralin
Shitgibbon?
or maybe the kinder, gentler ‘cockwomble’.
inittowinit
I did have ‘apehole’ up my sleeve.
Kralin
Schrödinger’s Douchebag
springs to mind
Raziel
I was kidding Freuchie. Behave. :dance:
Raziel
