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.

Hello everyone. 1FT. Should I go Lundy -> Aurier and activate BB on this squad? Not sure about Arsenal minutes though.
Little Red, yeah I reckon so, you’re not going to get a better chance with those Arsenal boys.
Martinez is as guaranteed a clean sheet as is possible with Arsenal and Saka should get enough minutes to give him enough chance to produce.
Thanks Cookie. Think Auba could be rested after the FA cup?
That’s your gamble and frankly who knows?!
But with 5 subs, i’ll be amazed if he doesn’t get minutes.
Plus of course, your BB is ONLY about your bench, your 4 weakest who you wouldn’t normally play. Auba home vs Norwich isn’t one of them.
Just noticed your 2013/14 season. You were smokin. Like the 555 cigarettes.
Little Red, I was smoking more than that in 2013/14!
Rank wise, the rest is poor. I don’t possess the patience to play the game well consistently.
Yeah that makes sense I think. Depending on Cathcart though as I think he missed a game recently
Lets see if he plays today. They had said something about a knock before.
I am so tempted to sell Manè and buy Son or Mahrez but that Villa game in GW33 could be a massacre.
I basically need funds to upgrade Jota to Jimenez.
Cookie I was about to post essentially the same thing. I need to upgrade Jota to Jiminez to consolidate my lead in my MLS. Mane looks like the obvious downgrade given all my mates have Salah.
Ben, is Jota injured?
Really struggling to sell Mané in front of Villa in 33.
MLs, not MLS. Lol.
Jota isn’t injured but it’s clear he’s blanking and getting his minutes managed whereas Jiminez gets the full 90. With Villa next and my main ML opponents having Jiminez then he’s a must.
I guess I could upgrade Deeney instead of Jota.
Hmmmm…. yes Mane against Villa – you’d/I’d kick yourself/myself if he got a brace. Which is entirely possible. Because it’s Villa.
But the downgrade gives you/me myriad Riad/Son/Martial etc options. And probably some spare change for a small defensive improvement.
That’s the thing, my defence is good with Doherty, TAA & Maguire and Manè is without doubt my obvious capo option for 33 (or TAA i guess) – its just a question of whether they play or not.
66 with KDB, Ings & Foster to go. With a bit of luck (mainly KDB) I could reach 80.
Arsenals defence hasn’t been good since the restart, if ings can get you 6+ to get the ball rolling very do able.
Not trying to promote gambling with this post, more these odds our a joke.
You think they’d have with at least 1000/1 here. I mean they need to win the next 7 and liverpool only to get 1 draw over the next 7 to win.. I mean is it just me or is it mad? :dunce:
Have city*
As you say, it’s irrelevant anyway isn’t it?!
Very good point, this has shut me up :hippo:
It’s not mad at all; it has a diabolical logic. It also illustrates why bookies never go out of business.
There are enough credulous mugs out there who’ll see that and think ‘well it could happen huh huh huh’ and then expend a few quid and then puzzle over why they have to eat beans on toast for the next six months and their wife has left them.
How ironic if Liverpool clinch their first PL title this evening without playing.
Man United won their first PL title in 92/93 without playing when Oldham beat Villa.
There is much to unite the two big dogs of English football.
Doesn’t all have to be about hate.
Though I would prefer it if they clinched it without playing :big-lol:
+100
Cookie, I completely agree about the hate.
Assuming we do win it, I couldn’t give a flying fiddlers how it happens!
Will Sterling start tonight? I mean most probable answer please.
Yes.
Probably.
Hahaha. Thanks Cookie. Hope he does.
I’d guess yes. Pep has made it clear though the FA cup game is a priority over the Chelsea game so the lineup could be interesting
I have stopped guessing Pep’s team!
