Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 32+ #YNWA
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 32+.
GW32+ Deadline; Saturday 27th June 11:30am GMT
I concur…
We really can’t start anywhere else this week other than simply congratulating our new League Champions Liverpool! What a magnificent season it has been for them and it is truly deserved. None of that Jose / Chelsea nonsense of limping over the line, they did it in style and that was typified by their crushing of Palace on Wednesday night. #YNWA
Which leads us nicely back into GW31+. And quite frankly, Liverpool aside, it was fairly turgid! As has been most of the football so far, apart from a couple of Man City performances and the Arnie wannabe over there at Wolves.
Man Utd, or more accurately Martial, had a day in the sun too. But to sum up last week, if you take out them and Liverpool the other 8 games produced 14 goals between the 16 teams.
Fun fact, apropos nothing (sort of); less than 200,000 people tuned in to Newcastle v Aston Villa live on TV.
Onto GW32+…
It’s probably worth noting that there are FA Cup games this weekend and by some quirk of fate all four ties are filled by PL teams. Normally this would mean a blank weekend of fixtures for Norwich, Man Utd, Sheffield Utd, Arsenal, Leicester, Chelsea, Newcastle and Man City. And of course all of their PL opponents. But that’s not so in our brave new world of trying to see how many players we can injure in the shortest space of time possible. All of the aforementioned will then gallop into GW32+ action at some point prior to Thursday.
It does mean a tepid start to the game-week with just one game each day between Saturday and Tuesday before we finish with a flurry on Wednesday and Thursday.
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) will 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 GW32+
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 GW31+ Result…
On Wednesday evening we were looking a bit ropey with just 62 on the board, even though that still represented a 5k jump in rank. Fortunately we had a Burnley double clean sheet on Thursday and also KDB doing what he does which meant we finished on a respectable, if not spectacular 86 points. This resulted in an overall rise of 28,598 places to 113,358th.
GW32+ TRANSFER
We have SOLD Jamie Vardy and Jack Stephens and have BOUGHT Marcus Rashford and Matt Doherty. These transfers are a bit of a one week punt although it can be said that both players also feel like good long term investments. We say one week punt, because as of now our plan is to attack this GW and play our wildcard the next. So we wanted two players who felt like they could pay immediate dividends and you never know, if they do well enough they could easily stay in our side once we iron out our wildcard side next GW. One of our committee members came out for attacking the GW hard and the group turned excited, but then he suggested that we get Martinez for Leno with one of our two freebies. I tell you, sometimes you can’t make this stuff up. It’s ok though once he recovered from a quick :punish: and a little ridicule he suggested the above and there was unanimous consent on the two moves. Which is really unusual for our lot.
GW32+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW32+ will be RAÚL JIMÉNEZ
We are sticking with Mr Consistent. His pick probably just about sums up the FF247 approach to FPL; he feels safe, the pick itself looks and feels sensible, renegade it isn’t but that’s not what we do. We’ll take his ‘7 point goals’ every week and move along steadily thank you very much.
Our Vice-Captain, should we need him, will be Marcus Rashford.

FPL FIXTURE TRACKER
FIXTURE TRACKER LINK
Rashford coming on
Extra time for United. Good. Only Rushford rested. Good. :hippo:
I mean Martial… :popcorn:
Nope
Why is Bruno playing 120 minutes is beyond me
They need him.
He is a physically fit player. He can probably play this game full and be ready for the next one in time, unlike Martial who allegedly gets injured while in the shower at home as well.
Also. ManUtd has Pogba, Rashford and Martial on pitch who aren’t known for their penalty taking skills.
Because he is my capo and for sure will be benched next match
Omg Maguire almost picked the lead
He did finally
He actually did :yahoo:
Maguire has been outstanding in this game. Good defending, got decent chances on goal and then finally picked the lead.
Norwich did deserve to go to penalties at least though.
What the hell is picked the lead?
Not heard that before.
Do you mean nicked the lead?
‘Nicked the lead’ suggests the game was being played in a church yard.
:big-lol:
Anyone rage moved Jiminez to the vice-captain for next week?
Arsenal will, however, have played two games before then while Wolves will have had a week off.
Gutted cappo Jimenez let me down :rant:
Got armband hovering between Salah / Mane vs Villa
Well, at least he wasn’t sent off for taking a wild swing at Nyland, or for nicking some lead from the roof of the stadium.
I have an uneasy feeling Klopp may bench one or two of the superstars for the Villa game.
Haha
Is “lead” (materials used on roofs) and “Lead” when a team goes in front spelt the same?
Heads gone lol
Back to fpl I can’t see Klopp or his top boys wanting to rest
They won’t have played for 8 days so Villa gunna get a ass whooping..! :hippo:
Actually scratch that
They play city then 3 days later it’s villa
They still gunna get whooped !
Games are coming that thick and fast I don’t even know what day it is :help:
It is tricky. Up until a couple of days ago I was oblivious to the fact there were FA Cup games this weekend.
Let’s hope Ings does something today – may be his final appearance in my side for a bit.
Kralin
I here you on Ings
However there’s not many forwards at his price who’s nailed, plus as soon as we dump him, he’ll go on another scorning streak?
The only thing keeping him in my team atm is the fact I bought him at 6.1m and he’s now 7.2m
Should that be a reason to keep a player?
I get your point about the value you have tied up in Ings, but if you never sell him then you never get to utilise that value. It’s just a paper profit. I’m a big fan of nurturing team value in the early part of the season, but I’m then happy to cash in my players when wildcarding to spend the profits elsewhere.
If there’s no equivalently priced forwards to replace Ings with, then consider a change of formation with a downgrade to the likes of Greenwood or Nketiah and then upgrade elsewhere.
Chipster
Good point
Will consider cashing in gunna give him a week :good:
