Live Match Chat Wednesday Night Edition Game-week 23
We trust you are all well this fine Wednesday evening and looking forward to another fantasy feast. Tonight we have the Midlands derby as Aston Villa welcome WBA, there’s a London derby at the Bridge as Chelsea meet West Ham, Sunderland host Stoke and Spurs have the unenviable task of trying to tame Aguero and Man City at White Hart Lane.
Keep track of all the action, the goals and 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 and beyond.
Good luck for the remainder of GW23 from all at FF247!
79 points this week, went up 100k ish places haha … hoping for progress like to hopefully maybe end up top 100k by the end of the season..have a look at my team lads, any changes? Aguero, coleman, chester, and mutch, are all injury concerns..was thinking aguero->sturridge, and I definitely need to switch ashley cole perhaps to another chelsea defender…and I am confused whether to bring Lallana in for johnson, but johnson is playing well and I already have jrod so is this worth the bother?
79 pts too. Went up 20k places. Gets harder as you go up!! But great scoring. Top 50k ish this week which is good work. As for your dilemmas wait a couple of days and re post. Until injury news becomes clearer I wouldn’t be jumping the gun. Obviously you need to focus on your defence which is in some disarray. But hold fire. Midfield looks fine to be fair so leave as is. Aguero is a concern to us all.
I have a special ability. That is select the WRONG goalie for my team. Earlier in the season a had mignolett and Boruc and every week put the lower scoring keeper on the field. After WC I have Szezensy and Mannone. My superpower made me go the ARS keeper.
I’m still in the cup
Exactly same story here, I picked Szczesny over Mannone
Buy according to form, select according to fixtures. Home advantage is always a big factor, also the opponents’ form. Stoke at home is always a better choice than Soton away.
Hey guys! My priority this week should be getting out Ramsey right? My team for the weekend currently looks like (doubts/injuries in capital):
Szczesny Mannone
Shaw Kolarov Gabbidon Davies COLEMAN
Mata Johnson Hazard MUTCH RAMSEY
Suarez Adebayor AGUERO
1 FT and 0.6 in the bank. I haven’t taken a hit in a long time but I’m not completely against it.
What do you think?
Veer, having a fairly similar squad and facing the same problem, I sold Ramsey and Aguero for a 4pt hit and brought back Silva and Sturridge. These injuries were a big setback for my strategy, but I guess it was always risky to back Ramsey to come back from injury. Maybe YYT and Bony would have been a wiser combo, but what’s done is done.
Yes, replace Ramsey. Dont know whats your selling price of Ramsey. If high, then Eriksen/Lallana, if lower, then Johnson (but you should know that he has only 2 good games in coming 6 GWs).
Waiting on Aguero’s injury is what we all can do, but dont think you should sell Coleman, or Mutch, because the gain in that area is quite less.
A little news about the Aguero injury:
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has offered an update on the hamstring injury he sustained during his side’s 5-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening.
The Argentine hobbled off during the match, but revealed that he left the field purely as a precaution and will now undergo further tests.
“I felt some pain in my right hamstring and left just as a precaution. My studies will tell me the degree of the injury,” he wrote on Twitter.
“It’s a pity about the injury but it’s easier knowing that we are on top. I hope I get back out on the field soon to keep helping the team.”
Im hating the injuries. 72 points last GW and now rolling on the next GW with 3 injured players and a classic Clyne.
Marshall
[Coleman] – Kosc – Olsson
Hazard – Silva – Lallana – Eriksen
[Aguero] – Suarez – Giroud
Bench: Mannone – Noone – [Clyne] – [Chester]
Already used my FT on Cabaye>Eriksen, and i think ill have to settle by playing 10 players this GW, AGAIN!
Should i take a hit to get a playing player? If yes, then which transfer would you prefer?
A) Clyne > Williams (Swansea)?
B) Aguero > Sturridge?
Analysis of my 4 point his this GW:
Ozil + Adebayor > Cabaye + Aguero
5 + 2 > -4 + 0 + 5
7 > 1
Lost on 6 points.
If i had taken Eriksen instead of Cabaye:
5 + 2 > -4 + 5 + 5
7 > 6
Still, a loss of 1 point.
Moral of the story: Only take a hit for Suarez, no one else
