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!

Okay. Could really use some more perspectives on my team.
Incredibly I’m 369 in the overall rankings, so don’t want any big risks..
Mannone Boruc
Coleman Bennett Sagna. Baines Whittaker
AJ Eriksen Hazard Yaya Oviedo
Suárez Agüero Sturridge
Aguero -> djecko
Aguero -> neg
Something else?
1 FT (though, you know me, a hit would be considered…)
£1m in the bank.
Thanks!!

Sell Goofy, James. Aguero will be fine. Maybe consider Soldado as a viable alternative to Goofy. Should propel you up the rankings.

Aguero tweeted that he was withdrawn as a precaution following hamstring pain in last night’s win at Spurs
The B
Nice ranking James.
Aguero has stated that he was taken off as a precaution, there is little chance that he might start at the weekend, but there is still some chance.
chopper2540
Morning boys. I agree with B. I think pele sharted an took him off. I think he could very well play against chelsk. Id wait.
Shep
James
Wait for later today since they assessing Aguero
He said on twitter that he felt something and took himself off as a precaution.
Sounds hopeful, im fine benching him for 1 GW instead of losing the profit and paying a lot to get him back
bundeena bunnies
This is looking like aguero of 2011/12, injuries.
I’m thinking of getting RVP
Anti Top Four
Well done James101! Hat’s off to you, mate! My first thoughts, in no specific order, are:
– Giroud (one game punt) and then consider Man C cover: Dzecko / Negredo / Kun
– RVP (great differential and fixtures if you can afford)
– Ade (decent fixtures and should rebound from getting getting spanked)
– Bony (decent fixtures and may allow funds for Mata)
Best wishes
James101
Thanks gents.
(And especially you cookie!!)
Yeah, I’ll hold off a bit on the transfer first. See how long he’s out…
Cookie
No worries, Jimbo, lets just keep chatting, I’m there for you.

Very well done sir, you should be very proud. Be bold – don’t worry about not losing ground.
Hold off for good news on Aguero and Coleman and if Aguero is only out for 1-2 weeks, I’d bench him and replace Oviedo and go 3-5-2.
James101
Cheers Gallant. Tricky one.
I have Blue in the Shield this GW, so will need an excellent score to triumph.
The Gallant Pioneer
james
Listen to nothing I say. I am bottom of the Championship and six points from safety. Just can’t win a game just now so Shield participation is a dot on the horizon for me.
There’s always next season . . . ;-(
If Aguero is out – go Rooney. (Remember, listen to NOTHING I say).
photek
hi guys n gals,
hit a nice 77 with 10 men (and a -4pt hit), pretty happy with that.
got a problem with my defense this week and looks like i might be down to 10 again this gw or take another 4pt hit
currently have:
mannonne
coleman ward williamson parr chester
1ft 0 money
chester needs to go, parr and ward go away to arsenal and coleman still injured.
I’m looking at chambers with limited budget for chester
The B
Chambers competes with Clyne, and there is always a doubt regarding who will start. So stay away from both.
Williams from Swansea is a good option.
The Gallant Pioneer

I’m dealing with the same problem ahead of this week. I have Azpi Coleman Parr Chester and Shaw. I’ve a feeling Parr will be back sooner as later so Chester out for R Bennett is my move. Did consider Bruce at Hull but Bennett seems to have earned a guaranteed spot whereas Bruce was subbed off on Tuesday night.
Norwich have decent fixtures (apart from City next weekend) until the last four games of the season.
photek
Thanks guys
I did worry about the chambers / clyne thing, who plays, who doesn’t.
i also had a look at bennett this morning, not overly confident in norwich defense atm but needs must.
shaw would be a good addition if i had the funds as he is playing further up field (much like ward) i think both got fielded in midfield this week.
swansea are starting to a good option but i need more money B

Hi Gents,
So 83 points for me, team is:
Boruc,
Sagna, Dawson, R Bennett
Noone, Silva, Hazard, Mata
Sturridge, Aguero, Suarez C
Subs: Mannone, Ward, Ramsey, Chester
0.0M in the bank and 1FT
So I will be taking a 4 point hit (looking at Ramsey and Chester out for Eriksen and McNaughton)
But waiting to see about Aguero, depending can be Ramsey and Aguero out for… Negredo and Carzola maybe?
So taking a 4 point hit, just depends on Aguero news if its Ramsey and Aguero out or Ramsey and Chester

Hi Shep. I’d take a look at Dzeko if Agueros injury is bad. He’s likely to start and showing a bit of form. He’s really cheap considering and it could allow you to get Dzeko & Cazorla maybe?
Shep
AS93
I can do that, but feel Negredo will be better than Dzeko, I rate Dzeko and Jovetic will swap with eachother
Think Negredo didnt come on since his played a lot lately and Jovetic hasnt
daboyo
is Negredo a sure thing vs Chelsea?…..I wonder is Dzeko a better shout….
Im the same – Ramsey is def going…..im looking at 6.6mil and under as replacements at the moment, but like yourself, if Aguero is out for more than a week or two I might do Ramsey & Aguero for Dzeko/Negredo & Eriksen
Shep
Daboyo
Rooney might also be an option hey…
Too many decisions, I just hope Aguero is just rested this GW and back the follwing
Just need to wait and see…
The Gallant Pioneer
Shep
On City, I worry with Jovetic notching one last night that he will no see more gametime. Together with the Champions League, FA Cup and LC final coming up, if Aguero is out for a bit, then the three others will probably be rotated game to game. If Aguero is out for a period, I think I’ll go for Rooney again. I also have Mata currently.
Eriksen looks a great but just now, glad to say I have him.
Shep
Gallant
The thing is I like having Silva and Aguero/Negredo since City score for fun.
Rooney might be an interesting option though with him I can get Eriksen or Lallana and boost my defense later
Else Negredo opens up 9.5M for a mid… Carzola? Oscar? Gerrard? Lallana? Eriksen? too many options haha
Had Negredo when Aguero was last injured and he did well for me
daboyo
Morning All
I really rode my luck this week – got 82 points to get me inside 8k overall for the first tim…..and even a CS from Collins last night vs Chelsea…..im crippled with injuries though and a first points hit of the season is on the cards….
My Squad with 1FT and 0 in the Bank
Mannone/Boruc
Sagna/Coleman/Bruce/Collins/Parr/Bruce
Silva/Hazard/Lallana/Coldback/Ramsey
Suarez/Sturridge/Aguero…
I’ll wait to hear how long Aguero is out for but Ramsey has to go…..6.6mil ill have then to spend and im looking at the following:
Nolan – nice fixtures – 6.5
Barkley – Nice fixtures – 5.1
Osman – good fixtures/lukaku injured and 6.2
Wittingham – 5.3, good fixtures, placed balls….
What do people think…..
Andy Carrolls Pony
6.6 sounds like Adam Johnson to me. Hasn’t got the easiest fixtures but he keeps on scoring
Andy Carrolls Pony
Just noticed he’s 6.7. Can you scrape together a few extra quid?
daboyo
cheers Andy – im looking long term…and after the next two weeks I think Johnson will struggle for points….had this transfer been 2 weeks ago I would have taken it….but for two good fixtures im slow to make the move…..
The B
I like Nolan from the players you mentioned.
as93
Personally I’d avoid Nolan, West Ham are struggling to score and when I took a gamble on him he got sent off! Haha
daboyo
I know there is that risk with Nolan – but with Carroll back I wonder will he play as a false no 10…..
Osman has a good scoring record but Mirallas/Pienarr/Naismith are all knocking about aswell so its tough to choose the Everton player among them all….
Whittingham has the placed balls which is a plus for me…..fixtures are good aswell and they showed enough vs United that they can play….
Shep
Daboyo
Wait and see about Aguero. If he is out the funds available will give you better options in the mid
daboyo
cheers Shep
Ill hold tough for the news alright…..but id still look at West Ham/Everton and Cardiff when it comes to fixtures…. Mirallas possibly…..
of the more expensive midfielders – Oscar/Gerrard/Cazorla….their fixtures are tough enough,,,,as you say – Eriksen is in a nice run of form
Andy Carrolls Pony
163rd in the world this month! Well chuffed with that.
May have jumped the gun getting rid of Aguero havin just read the comments above. Got Mata and Sturridge though so should be ok
daboyo
Mata and Sturridge are solid replacements and will rise in value id imagine so no harm getting the added bit of value into the squad
The B
Is anyone here considering selling Arsenal defence after the Palace game? Or will you just bench Sagna/Kosc for 2 consecutive GWs?
The Gallant Pioneer
The B
I wouldn’t sell. I wouldn’t even bench. These games can end 0-0 and you should have some level of confidence in players of such value.
I have Szczesny.
The B
True GP.
Just checked Arsenal’s record at Anfield and it isnt that bad.
chopper2540
Im considering Kos out for Evans. Id like to do it this week but got more pressing issues
James101
Not bad
photek
If only i had some Arsenal defenders to make that choice :]
