Live Match Chat Game-week 24 Monday Night Special. Man City vs Chelsea.
Welcome to our Monday Night Special edition of Live Match Chat. Just the one game tonight but its a biggie! Chelsea travel to Manchester City in what many are calling a title decider. It’s not, of course, but it will have a bearing on the final outcome and more importantly it will have many implications for fantasy managers. Will Yaya continue his phenomenal run, will Dzeko or Negredo step up to fill Aguero’s tiny boots or will Chelsea park the bus in 19th Century fashion?!
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 for the final game of GW24 from all at FF247!
Looking at some cheap midfield options to replace Janazaj so just canvassing opinion on these guys –
Bentaleb
Steven Davis
Brunt
Zaha
Bacune (although not liking Villa’s fixtures)
Zaha from that list. But do look into Johnson and Puncheon as well. Take a look at fixtures, compare them and choose the best.
Mannone (Davis)
Azpilicueta – Dawson – Ward – Coleman (Chester)
Oscar – Silva – Mata (Gnabry) (Livermore)
Van Persie – Suarez – Sturridge
1.7 in bank
Which one would you choose of these?
A) Oscar to Cazorla
Livermore to Adam
C) Livermore to Mutch
D) Coleman to Kompany
E) Dawson to Kompany
Should I wait with Kompany until after there blank GW?
Since I already have 3 United/City players + Mannone?
Cheers
Dont rush into A. Arsenal has Liverpool and United next.
I like E at the moment as i believe Coleman is a season keeper. Dawson to Kompany can give you potentially 3 clean sheets, the next 3 fixtures are pretty good to be honest.
Thanks! That was the transfer I was leaning towards. It will be one GW where I cant field a full team but I will have 4 DGW players after that. (Will post this in the next thread also to see if I get more replys)
This should be my team for next GW. 2.6M itb.
Mannone
Coleman – Kosc – Shaw
Hazard – Silva – Lallana – Eriksen
Suarez – Sturridge – Giroud
Bench: Marshall – Noone – Olsson – Chester
B
So your strikers playing against eachother… and Kosc defends against SAS, sucks… but cant have it perfect everyweek
Eriksen v Coleman… stale mate?
The rest looks decent man
True Shep.
Too many players involved with each other this GW. Currently thinking of Giroud>Rooney for a hit and making him captain then, cause i know how bad Fulham is, but then again, Giroud has been pretty consistent since i bought him.
B
Fair enough, but Giroud is going to a place where he might score one and his team concedes 3 then Podolski comes on since he looks for work and can tackle better… just a thought.
Anyway Rooney might be worth a punt, like you siad it will depend which United rocks up… but losing to Stoke and practicing longer together surely they can make it happen??
What about Eriksen to Mata? his looking dangerous…
B my frony 7 is the same as yours except I have Rooney instead of Giroud……im very curious to know why you would bring him in and make him captain……
I brought him in for Aguero and TBH he spent so much time building from the back he never really looked like getting on the end of much (granted I didn’t see the full game)……..where is your optimism coming from…..
Daboyo,
I caught the last 30min and also saw Rooney deep.
But him and Mata linked up well, was like they were playing attacking mids together and RVP/Hernandez and that idiot Welbeck upfront.
Think the longer they together the better they will become and push up more.
Also bare in mind defensive players were injured so Rooney had to drop back
Hi Gents,
So 48 points this week (took a 8 point hit, don’t ask haha)
Anyway team is:
Boruc, Mannone
Dawson, Sagna, R Bennett, Ward, McNaughton
Silva, Hazard, Mata, Eriksen, Noone
Negredo, Sturridge, Suarez
2.4M in the bank and 1FT
So going to do McNaughton out for Azpil
and next GW look at Eriksen to Lallana probably.
Thoughts?
Sounds like great planning Shep. Are you playing Sagna next GW?
B
team will be:
Mannone
Azpil Ward Dawson
Silva Hazard Mata Eriksen
Negredo Sturridge Suarez
Subs: Boruc Noone Sagna R Bennett
got 0.9M itb now and 0FT
Now who to captain…??
very strong Shep…
Would you advise Coleman – Azpi…..
Daboyo,
If you meaning Coleman out for Azpil then yeah.
Coleman has spurs and Chelsea away in his next 3 games…
cheers Chep
And your happy with Negredo over Dzeko???
Daboyo
Just never been able to click confirm with Dzeko in my team haha
I have a block against him, since I see him as the 4th choice striker (now that Jovetic is back) but i didnt watch last night so dont know how he played
Could really use some more perspectives on my team.
(I’m 392 in the overall rankings, so don’t want any big risks.)
Squad:
Boruc Mannone
Evans. Sagna. Baines. Bennett.Whittaker
AJ Eriksen Hazard Yaya Oviedo
Suárez RVP Sturridge
1ft. £0.8m in the bank.
Initial thoughts…
A. Evans -> £5.8m defender.
B. Whittaker -> £4.7m defender.
C. Baines -> someone cheaper, funds used to upgrade AJ for GW 26.
D. Eriksen to Lallana.
E. Something else?
Note. Could also just switch AJ to mirallas next week. Good upcoming fixtures. (Or someone else…)
So, any thoughts?
As always I’m fine with a hit, if justified.
Cheers
J.
Evans to Cahill, Jimbo ?
A – Cahill (fixture proof and no issue with gametime)…just safer than Ivanovic and Azpi for me and cheaper than Terry
B – Look at West Ham
C – Cahill – fixtures don’t seem to matter
D – Hold Eriksen, he is doing nothing wrong….AJ to Lallana next week after you have got Cahill in maybe
James, maybe look at Evans to Azpi, so the same money-spent. Even though I have Baines, and he has done nothing, the fixtures are in his favour and I’m playing him as an additional midfielder. I would definitely keep AJ for the Hull game, then swap him out. Eriksen to Lallana is an “OK” move, but not imperative in my books.
Thanks gents.
Lots of love for Cahill!
Will take a look.
Eriksen has been good for me, but lallana looks strong and has solid fixtures…
Hiya James, mate. ?????????
Mirallas has always been an attacking player, but if continues his role up front continues, he could be a real diamond of an OOP midfielder. I would certainly like to bring into my squad, but I’m really happy with all 5 of my current mids. It looks like your squad is geared towards 3-4-3, so it doesn’t look like you need to change anything in the middle of the park for a while, either. (I tried making a transfer in the middle of the park, and got attacked by a badger. Never again.)
I’m with the other guys who are suggesting Evans out. You might as well get someone who has more attacking potential. And I read you wanted your team to be exciting going forward. I’ve got Swansea, West Ham and Cardiff locked into my radar. If the FA can bring themselves to go against one of their own referees and reprieve Carroll, I’m gonna bring Fabio in. He’s really cheap, too. I think Ben Davies is going to get some points. Maybe West Ham’s defence isn’t such a good idea. Just looked and they’ve managed 1 goal and 0 assists the ENTIRE season. Fancy a few CS’s from them though.
Blimey, sorry…. that was as long as your post, Jimbo! 😉
Took me ages that. You’d think I could’ve at least got through the first couple of sentences before making basic errors that would make even Kolo Toure smirk with contempt.
Nice response mate. Much appreciated that you took the time.
Yes. I want to score well – but it’s more fun to be barca than 19th cebtury…
That’s West Ham off the list then!
Ha. Yes!
Early transfer made, I feel I needed to get Rooney in because he done so well for me before he got injured
Please, Rate My Team, subs in ( ).
Speroni (Ruddy)
