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!
Very surprising result, first time City fail to score at the Etihad in 61 games, wow
One rival in my money-league had double Chelsea defense.. I’m in trouble now haha
58 this week, could’ve been 67, but I’ll live
how’s everyone else faired?
Also: Eriksen or Mirallas out? One has to make way for Silva…
James,
58 for me too.
I’d take out Erikson on account of him being pushed back out to a less involved wide position.
Got a similar issue myself…
Want to get some city coverage in but not sure where’s best…
Bony out for one of the 3 city strikers? (Not on form but home to Cardiff)
Sturridge out for one of the city strikers? (don’t really want 2 liverpool strikers vs Arsenal).
Erikson to Silva? (Due to eriksons position change and a couple of quiet weeks)
Something else entirely?
Team linked. Help appreciated.
Ta.
I’d keep Sturridge even though they are playing Arsenal.3 goals in 3 games and some great fixtures to come.If Liverpool are to score it will more than likely be him or Suarez with the other assisting !! Silva for Erikson for me but if you could stretch to it i’d have yaya 😉
Cheers brookboy.
0.2 short for yaya unfortunately.
+1, though I’d be tempted to bring in the Ox instead of Silva
Gkw, you serious old bean?!
I mean, i’m a gooner, but even with my wenger-tinted specs on, i’m struggling to see him out scoring silva against norwich.
Cheeky mid-week beer or seven was it? 😉
Chins, I meant as a replacement for Eriksen. But in a sense yes that is still instead of Silva
58 for me too (after subs) I reckon but then -8 hits so 50, about 10 above the overall average so I’ll drop a few thousand – but with just 4 players at home and 8 hits that could’ve been much worse. Next GW I could field 11 players with home fixtures, but will drop Kos as I don’t expect a CS away to ‘Pool.
Not hugely surprised tonight, btw. Man C’s first XI needed Aguero to come back against Watford in the cup last week, so without him would struggle against a team that knows how to defend. 20-20 hindsight I know, but hey I had the thought before the game – was expecting someone probably Negredo to notch an equalizer tho
GW 24 Final Results
Please welcome final results for GW 24 with autosubs, vice-captains, and bonus points according to the BPS: Ivanovic(3), Cahill(3), Terry(1), Azpilicueta(1), Cech(1), Yaya Toure(1). Expected average is 45 points. Average score in the top 10K is 51.9.
Where’s that from – random sampling? Sounds about right, maybe a bit less than 45 and significantly more than 51.9 respectively.
Cahill on for 2 bps now
…another question for this weekend, and one i guess a few of us are facing…
Boruc or Mannone?
Home to Stoke or Home to Hull.
Tricky.
mannone i think
Boruc.
Southampton are better than Sunderland. Hull are better than Stoke.
true, but stoke find the net often
They’ve only scored 1 goal away from home since they drew 3-3 with Swansea on 10th November.
It’s logical.
I like it.
It’s a tough one ain’t it?
Coin toss maybe required.
stoke beat united last game… hard choice though!
Chins – Mannone for me – and I’d get Silva over Negredo! He’s nailed
Guys, let’s hear some results. I’m on 55 points myself, not good but can’t be dissatisfied as I’ll probably have risen from 85k to about 70k.
51 for me, +1 for yaya bps, and 3 off the bench
62 for me with 1bp to come i think for Azpi.I’ll take that on a low scoring week.
Evening chaps! Looks like I’ll finish on 54. Not good really! Spent an age considering Ivanovic on Friday but because he was away at City decided against it! :cuss: Was ranked at 28 before kick off tonight, but fear there may well be many managers with Chelsea defence around me so doubt that will remain!
28th?! Flippin’ ‘eck! Fair play!
B-bash
You are having a storming season so you can’t beat yourself up too much. No one could have seen Iva getting the goal tonight – the CS yeah maybe.
No advice needed from me. Keep up your good work.
I reckon auto-subs is a bigger factor this GW, reckon you’ll still be top-40 though
B-bash – a rank of 28?! Wow. Fair play mate, that is amazing.
Surely based on tonights games you can’t have lost too much ground. Keep it up mate and you’ll bring home that trophy (or whatever they give you).
Any chance you have a spare minute to check out my post above. – a bit stuck on what change to make to get some city coverage in for the weekend. Post 49.1. Ta.
Thanks for the comments guys!
Chins, l would say if you can do Eriksen to Silva then that is the obvious move. I have SAS at the mo and I dont particularly like it, but there both in great form and like Brookyboy said, one will score the other will assist.
B-Bash – who would you drop for Silva – Eriksen or Mirallas?
Mirallas is in better form: they play each other, then Spurs face Newcastle (a) whilst Everton play Palace at (h)
So short term Eriksen seems the man to go…
But after that Spurs have a great run whilst Everton don’t!
Jamesimmo,
thats a tough call mate. Their form has been similar. Last 5 games Eriksen scored 35 whilst Mirallas scored 26. If I had them both I would keep Eriksen. His form is slightly better of the 2
Cheers BBash! Jamesimmo et al, appreciate the comments.
Silva it is then.
Not much happening pricewise so will hold off til nearer the weekend.
I love this forum.
55 once Bertrand comes off the bench with a whopping one point! Kolarov, Yaya Toure and Hazard played out of my team tonight – can’t see any bonus points for them personally.
I’ve think Yaya on 1 bps
Ah, he has! Nice – it all helps!
Any early advice for my team?
Boruc
Ivanovic Williams Evans (injured)
Mata(c) Oscar Lallana A.Johnson
Benteke(v) Suarez Sturridge
Bench: Mannone Ravel (may not play) Coleman Mariappa (may not play)
EBC
Get Coleman back in to start this weekend and wait for news on Evans injury. I’d replace him if long term if not then Marriapa to Parr maybe.
Good captain choice – thinking the same.
Thanks. What makes you say bring Coleman in?
I’m thinking Zabaleta in for Evans if he’s out this weekend.
EBC
Simply because he will surely start this weekend.
If you can afford Zab then yeah that is a superb replacement.
Ah ok, cheers.
Oscar only got 8 mins tonight- just rested do you think?
Redmecca
Just don’t think the game suited him. And you can’t argue with results!
Wouldn’t worry unduly yet.
