Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 31+
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 31+.
GW31+ Deadline; Tuesday 23rd June 5pm GMT
Close but no cigar!
Well GW30 plus is in the books (cue the fake crowd noise) and onto GW31+ we go.
As always we shall endeavour to post the line-ups prior to each phase of the relevant GW and our usual FPL Countdown Timer (to be found above the latest comments section) is once again be active.
Tips will be dispensed in the chat below but feel free to get involved in said chat, whether that’s asking for advice or answering others.
FF247 SITE TEAM GW31+
This is where LMC takes a slight twist. Given the lack of opportunity to post any full or meaningful articles it is our intention to simply post our weekly transfer and Captain choice on here prior to each deadline. As a result this article will be posted way in advance of when it usually is, probably not long after any given GW ends.
Our GW30+ Result, in brief
Yep, we nearly got there but some combo of Pep, Aguero and Egan defeated our 100 point ambition. We landed on 96. Captain Kun managed just 55 minutes across his DGW, albeit with two assists. Sterling was the only one of our City boys to actually register 90, albeit all in one game. Doherty somewhat rescued us with his 12 in his SGW and clearly we should have captained KdB as he top scored with 15.
As for our rank we have risen about 25k this week, a green arrow is better than a red arrow so we will take it. That makes 4 out of the last 5 GWs that we have risen, so the trend is good, now we just need to get inside 100k and make a late push up the overall. The site team now sits in 141,956th place. Here is the side that almost made us triple digit proud. 
GW31+ TRANSFER
We have SOLD and BOUGHT…… nobody
We may be doing this in a slightly unorthodox fashion but one of the reasons we played our Free Hit last week was that we liked our team, as it was, for GW31+. Turns out we liked it that much that we felt we may be somewhat justified to play our BB this week. That was until Leno (or more accurately Maupay?) put paid to that thought. We could have replaced him but in all honesty whoever came in would probably simply end up playing second fiddle to Pope for the remaining games. So we’ve left that thought for now and feel we have a strong XI for this week.
GW31+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW31+ will be Raúl Jimenez
Jimmy got the majority of the votes and it’s easy to see why for anybody who witnessed both his and Bournemouth’s performances in GW30+.
Our Vice-Captain will be Bruno Fernandes. Should Jimmy fail to start we’re confident that Bruno can step into the breach as he’s faces a Sheffield United defence shorn of Henderson, Egan & potentially O’Connell.

78 points for me once bonus points are added with Kdb tomorrow for my wildcard team.
Happy with that, should see a green arrow this game week.
Was not planning a transfer but bruno to martial is extremely tempting.
Well done to everyone who had a decent score on their wildcard.
Jamie
Great score buddy
Don’t tempt me with the Bruno vs Martial shout
I’m convinced I’m sticking with Bruno ..but Martial at 0.6m less and playing as no.9 and scoring a hatrick, is very tempting :dash:
Also 78 with just pope for me on my free hit. If he can manage 9 points I match my last week score :rofl:
I’ll be happy with 3 to break 80
I am on 73 right now. Still pinching myself for not making Jimenez as my captain and going with Vardy. Lost 7 points there. but, quite content with the past two GWs. 203 points in total, with Sterling and Pope to go. That has enabled a swing from 360k to 110k in rankings.
Really need Sterling to start and score.
Wow…Saiss got a bonus point inspite of his YC!
Hey guys. Hope this week is going fine for all of you. Didn’t have Salah in my team. But, still could manage 73 points. Thanks to Martial.
For the next week, Kun is out. I have gone with Rashford as his replacement. Should I take a hit for someone like Martial? Have 3.6m itb.
Not sure that’s pretty tough. Got to admit I’d be tempted by a hit to bring Martial or Fernandez (still think he’s the better bet) for Grealish. Villa are really struggling and Grealish seems to be dropping deeper and deeper to get the ball
Thanks a lot for the reply Smash. Good week for you I see. Good for you mate. Hope the form continues till the end of season atleast.
I wouldn’t take a hit unless absolutely necessary. As the GW tick by you have less and less time to get those points back. That side should see you well this GW.
Some very high scores for everyone, congrats all. Got a red arrow with only 50 points but have 5 players left so hopefully will catch up a little!
That’s just under half your team to go. Probably in good shape there
You’ll be fine SB. I tend to focus on the score at the end of the GW, not during, and there’s a long way to go yet. Having 5 players up your sleeve is a good place to be. Good luck.
Wise words again Kralin! Just noticed your OR and must congratulate you thoroughly! A steady hand and a steady season with a rise in rankings when it counts! Remember early on when you congratulated me on my placing? Well it was all Leicester-based (I had 3 of them before the wave started to overwhelm everyone), but an inability to adapt to changing circumstances, as well as some festive season panic, I started to drop like the proverbial lead balloon! Probably accurately reflects my ability in this game (as well as my knowledge compared to some diehard PL followers!), so I am not unhappy.
Cheerio and enjoy the football!
I agree that Snookie doesn’t need to panic and with so many players to come, it’s anyone’s guess. Don’t be impetuous (like AJW!) and play calmly with confidence!
Thanks AJW. Still a few weeks to go and the next GW looks like it could be a minor banana skin.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) I’ve found that playing the game conservatively seems to work ok for me.
It’s been a pretty gruelling season. Hopefully you’ll put a run of green arrows together.
Similar. 54 red arrow but have 5 players left.
OK I need to plan for next week. 2FT, BB and WC available. Thinking use the 2FT and BB this week then WC the week after. Given the fixture Mane to Martial and Hayden to 8.7 mid? Any suggestions?
Stone
I like that BB idea.
I think Sheffield United are beginning to look quite knackered. Could you work a Spurs player in alongside Martial?
Ali is the option I was thinking. A bit worried by minutes though?
Most players’ minutes will be a worry moving ahead.
Bergwijn could be a nice move.
I think you will be better bench boosting after the wildcard. There are plenty of cheap players out there
Is Jota not injured?
Morning all!
56 here with McCarthy and Mount to go do it’s not been my week but looking forward to the matches tonight.
Smash! Trent mate – masterstroke.
Congratulations!
Don’t encourage him! It’s a slippery slope that full back thing, we’ve already lost one to it…
Don’t, just don’t.
William’s original pick for me was TAA and I steered him away to Bruno.
Make that two.
Thanks GP. Think there was a lot of madness involved. But I did not think Palace would score and he has more attacking returns than Sterling now
