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!

Smash
Another one
Kralin
Interesting, thanks, we’ll see how it all pans out.
You’d wonder if Chelsea would want to get that close.
Smash
Game prob in doubt
IvanTheTerrible
The game will be called off. 50/50 as for now.
Smash
Might be ok
Cookie
Won’t affect the game.
Kralin
I misread part of that as ‘everyone at City continues to wash…’ and was thinking ‘I should blooody well think so’.
Given the treasures buried deep on my bench I wouldn’t be devastated to see the game called off but one can only have a certain amount of luck.
Cookie
This is proceless
OddDane
:rodl:Hahahaha, oh lord… I hope this isn’t accurate.
Cookie
Are there really no ‘big bum Latinas’ outside of London?
OddDane
:laugh2: Nope. All at King’s cross and … No can’t do it, sorry
Kralin
Is any of this true or just some hack getting a Corona Boner?
Cookie
Its all true Kralin. Let it be known, Mendy loves big bootys.
Kralin
I suppose us fortunate enough to be in stable relationships forget how lonesome it can be to be single. Must be terrible now, in semi-lockdown.
It would have been a lot worse for him had his predilections strayed into slightly more recondite areas. But for all that I loathe the tabloids for exposing this sort of thing. It’s about as public interest as my toe nails.
The breach of restrictions will presumably will land him in hot water.
Cookie
Frankly i’m amazed these rule breakers are not being penalised more.
Especially when we have a former Miss UK facing jail in Barbados for breaking restrictions.
OddDane
I believe mr Mendy already has a girlfriend though Kralin, not sure she’s too fortunate though… It makes the whole ordeal a tad more absurd, but then again… Footballers:boredom:
Kralin
Ah, well, what do I know.
Tornado
Hey guys!
Plenty of time but just some early thoughts.
2 FT & 2.1M ITB.
Started thinking of saving my FH for a rainy day but not sure.
What do you think?
OddDane
Hmm I’d part with Adams and/or upgrade Justin… Probably Adams will do.
OddDane
Btw… Nice team mr Whirlwind, just realised you must’ve had a killer week so far!
Tornado
Cheers bud! Yeah, best GW this year :mosking: :hippo:
Tornado
I was thinking of keeping Adams for the DGW but unsure of anything nowadays. Maybe Justin, as you mentioned, to Stones this week and then Kane & Podence to Bamford & KDB next week. I’ll take my time though.
OddDane
Bamford, Watkins and Wood also play doubles. Wood may not be a good replacement, but Bamford probably is.
Kralin
Yes Bamford is a very good shout for the DGW.
Otieno
Looks really good. Definitely save FH. There will be many rainy days ahead. Maybe Justin/Adams to Dias/Wilson? Would give you 10 for GW18. Then your FT for GW19 gives you 8 doubles plus Son,Kane,DCL. But don’t do anything until we’ve got FA3 out of the way!
Tornado
Thanks, Otieno!
I won’t do any rushed moves. Good shout, I will definitely consider the aforementioned moves.
I am just afraid of the insufficiency of City players. :scratch_one-s_head:
Kushan Samararatne
Adams & Soucek or Crewell out….Laca + a decent playing replacement (possibly a playing member this week) in…
Kralin
I’d just tart the side up with a bit of City, if they’re playing by then. A defender maybe or a quick fling with KdB or Sterling (if not losing too much value in Salah).
Otieno
This is my first draft for FH18 squad
leeboy104
I know with covid we talk about having a good bench, but I don’t think you need such a strong set of subs. I’d suggest downgrading Coady to Mitchell perhaps. Watkins to fodder. Maybe try and get Siggy to Rashford. You’d still have subs in case of cancellation.
Otieno
Thanks it’s a good thought. Or, Siggy to fodder and Watkins to Martial? That gives me a 4-3-3 with Coady, Hendrick, Smith as bench
leeboy104
It’s an option, only concern would be possible rotation with Cavani. Cavani’s first game back happens to be BGW. Martial may be one to monitor.
Little Red Lacazette
+1
Tornado
Nothing wrong with it but probably downgrade one of your defenders to Mitchel and swap Siggy (as he is a bit of a rotating risk) to e.g Grealish/Neto/James or even inform Saka. Or maybe downgrade one more player and upgrade Siggy to Rashford, as leeboy suggested.
Disney
Not bad week, saving FH for DGW
leeboy104
Nothing to say apart from it’s not a good idea to have vice and cap in same game, let alone the same team.
Kralin
Yes good advice – a few people were burnt last GW by the very combination deployed above.
Disney
Good advice thank You leeboy
igy4
My current team is below and it looks as though I’d benefit from playing my FH for gw 18. I’m going to wait as long as possible though in case of anymore postponements. However, I currently have 11 DGW players and could get 12 with my FT, 13 if I take a hit. Worth the BB in this case for gw 19?
Kralin
I’d put the BB in my pocket and save it for a rainy day.
TheDreamers
What money do you have ig4?
igy4
I’ve got 2.5 in the bank Dreamers!
Kralin
Maybe as per ‘advice’ I gave earlier to someone else, tart the side up for the DGW with a bit of
bootyCity.TheDreamers
I prob would then bb as things stand as you could upgrade your sub keeper and a defender easily with that money.
0.5 on keeper , Johnson maybe?
Coufal maybe ?
Might even be worth a -8 for Raphina
