MLS Chat Room 2015
“With the Red Bulls nearing a shut out, Keane receives the ball just inside the 18 and plays a neat wall pass with Zardes to put him into the 6, his shot on frame is rejected out of bounds by the goal tender but the referee seems to have blown for a PK to the offense for an alleged double team”…
Welcome to the FF247 MLS Chat Room for the 2015 season. A hidden gem within the site if you will, for those fantasy managers who just love to play whatever games they can get their mitts on and specifically in this case MLS. Most of us started playing fantasy MLS back in 2013 and were soon hooked. The aim of the Chat Room is to allow a space for those that play it to come on and post and chat whatever they want about MLS – be it a traditional RMT, some team news, a helpful link to some relevant information or site, info about the many DGW’s, info about the many blank game weeks, info about the many international call up weeks (!).
Whatever is on your mind that is MLS related you can post in the Chat Room and know that it won’t be lost and confused on the FPL chat boards and you can easily access it at any time by simply clicking on the MLS tab at the top of the FF247 home page.

Opara could be out for the season with a ruptured achilles tendon.
More importantly, can you guys see my messages in WhatsApp? I haven’t gotten any answers to my messages or seen any other all day.
inittowinit
I believe they’re waiting on a song as a forfeit Tekkers, as you well know! 😉
Tekno-kun (Champion of Potty's Waffle Diner)
No no no no no no no no no no no no
There’s no limit
NIN
Damn it. Looks that he’s out. That kinda makes a balls of things, eh?
Tekno-kun (Champion of Potty's Waffle Diner)
Reckon I’ll take a hit to bring in Hernandez.
Tekno-kun (Champion of Potty's Waffle Diner)
Think WhatsApp’s broken for me again… :noshake:
inittowinit
Well, we are chatting and you aren’t there. For real this time as well! So yeah it probably is.
Tekno-kun (Champion of Potty's Waffle Diner)
I’m just curious what the future will be concerning FFFix? Is our period as “fill-in writers” over?
inittowinit
Why do you ask that Tekkers? What did I miss?!
Tekno-kun (Champion of Potty's Waffle Diner)
Kop sent a schedule showing who of us were supposed to write articles which weeks, but it only lasted until April 8th. Therefore I don’t know if we’re supposed to keep writing or not as we haven’t been sent a new schedule.
Tekno-kun (Champion of Potty's Waffle Diner)
You think it could have anything to do with my ohine number? I’m registered in WhatsApp with my Norwegian number, but I currently have my American SIM card in my phone. Maybe I should leave the chat and you could re-add me with my American number instead.
inittowinit
Yeah go on let’s try that. E-mail me the other number and I’ll add you back in.
Gumby
Hey Tekno. As a person who travels a lot and uses different sim cards. That is definitely the reason your whatsapp is not working
NIN
Any word on Villareal and Javi Morales injuries?
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
NIN, the latest I’ve seen on Javi is from SB Nation, “Morales didn’t train Tuesday and is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Revs.”
Villareal is fit, I think he’s just being eased back in by Bruce Arena. Word of caution though, he’s playing for the USA U-23’s tonight against Mexico, so keep an eye on his status.
NIN
Cheers Bry. Good info there. I’ll hold off until Friday in case Morales gets ruled out :thumbup:
NIN
MLS’ers – I’m in a spot of bother this week to say the least. Injuries everywhere. Need 2 mid’s to field 11, which makes a -8 hit. 18.1m to spend. Thinking Luis Silva and Neagle, sound good? Already played 2 FT’s to get rid of Hernandez&Villa. One of those weeks.
NIN
Should have said, other mid’s are Feilhaber, Finlay and Sam :thumbup:
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
NIN
Neagle yeah! How about Grella (NYRB)?
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Grella is a forward GP.
NIN
He’s a striker mate. I’m almost loaded up on NYRB anyway, and want the last spot for Robles ahead of their double. Silva hasn’t played much since coming back from injury and Neagle only got his act together last week. Kinda like both going forward though.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Apologies gents.
I am looking at Powers myself.
NIN
Hmm, their attack worries me. Shame Houston mid’s cant do shit. They’ve got some nice games.
NIN
And then he buys Barnes
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
@NiN, I am not in love with Seatlle’s fixtures over the coming weeks, although the Portland game does look appealing.
I would consider Shipp and possibly even Powers or Felipe if you want DGW players ahead of time. Any of those 3 or the two you put up sound the best. Silva not so sure about with the upcoming games and Espi being back.
NIN
Cheers Mito. Not fussed about Colorado players. 4 NYRB for that double will do me i reckon. You reckon Silva will struggle to get game time then? Last season i thought he was their best player, aside from Espi of course. Seemed that way from the games i watched anyway.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Hard to tell about Silva He looked real good last season, but MLS is so freaking hard to decipher sometimes. He should play, but I am not sure if they are ready to start him. Last 3 games off the bench makes me wonder if it is really fitness. You figure he be starting by now, in particular with no Espi for those games. At some point or another he will start, but considering his fixtures I would be tempted to wait. Not only because of the fixtures, but I least to see him start one time.
NIN
Their fixtures look pretty strong to me mate. Hmm, i’m wary of Silva now. I figured they were easing him back. Would ideally like him and Espi for next GW on. Any thoughts on capo this week? Martins or BWP for me i reckon.
NIN
Done. Hernandez, Javi, Villarreal, Villa -> Perrinelle, Barnes, Silva, BWP.
NIN
Morning folks. How did your MLS teams go last night? I’m on 48 so far with Perrinelle, Sam, BWP & Martins (c) to play today. Not bad.
NIN
Mito – You getting Espi in this week mate? I see he went the 90 last night. Great schedule ahead too.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
NiN
How are you mate?
43 (3 coming from bench) with Miazga, BWP and Giovinco (C) to go.
I knew Tierney was going to score sooner or later. Just delighted he got a CS to boot. Feilhaber a fantasy beast as usual and Kamara a great buy for me so far.
Well pleased so far.
NIN
Morning GP. Good thanks. Nice shooting so far. Gio cap is an interesting one. Kamara is doing really well too. I should have bought him a few weeks ago after Mito mentioned him. Drat.
NIN
Woops, that should be 46 points, not 48, that i’m on.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
NiN
Do you have Feilhaber?
If not, check his numbers so far. Awesome.
NIN
I do. I got him in in week three. Great scoring so far and seems fairly fixture proof. If not for DGW-mania he’d be great capo material.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
NiN
Around the same time I picked him up then. Nice. He’s as machine. Actually did captain him the week before last. Id have no worries on giving it to him again. Like last night
NIN
GP – GW9&11 would be nice weeks for it. Both DGW’s, though. He’s certainly one to hold onto for the long haul, it seems.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
NiN
You couldn’t sell him mate.
Yep I’ve got my eye on those weeks.
Wafflez
Got 50 points so far, just dumb luck . 16 points from Finlay and 20 from Morales (c) 😛
NIN
Nice one. Bout time Finlay racked up a big score eh? Nice call on Morales :thumbup:
