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.

Ings – form v fixtures.
Discuss :popcorn:
Form top notch! Fixtures – very tricky 3 and two of them away from home (still think that matters) if you have him I’d hold, wouldn’t rush to buy him until after Manu game
Well if away from home matters, Gavy….
Danny Ings (10) is now the outright leading Premier League away goalscorer this season.
😎
Hey GP, I mean with no home crowd it’s not as much of am advantage. Not having him is hurting alot right now. But city, Everton and man u next 3. If he scores 1 and gets an assist over that he’d do well
I bet he gets two goal involvements in those three games and if he doesn’t I’ll buy you a virtual :drinks:
He’s already scored against Spurs, Leicester, Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea and Liverpool. Oppo doesn’t seem to matter much in his case.
2 goals today were a real killer don’t think I’ll catch the leader in my mini league
Newcastle United v Manchester City (FA Cup)
Pulisic seems to have a knock. He is subbed and is being checked.
Ings again! Captain hindsight says I should have captained him.
I should have too!
I mean I should have bought him first. Then captained him
Everything is obvious in hindsight pal, don’t be too hard on yourself. :good:
Never going to captain Ings though were you
Happy to just have him
But what do you plan to do with him? I noticed you asked the question earlier without revealing your own hand.
Southampton look safe now plus a looming set of tricky fixtures.
Drop now, then an emotional reunion towards the end of the season?
FA Cup Semi final Draw
Ok now we have the draw for the semis are MU v CHE and ARS v MC/NEW
So we know that : AV v ARS; LIV v CHE, MU v WHM and either BHA v NEW or WAT v MC will be moved to midweek 37+ (21/22 July). I expect the TV schedules will be released shortly
All still in the same GW. I imagine that twitter fixture nerd will now either be kicking his sideboard furiously or sending out tweets about what the weather looks like for GW37 :rofl:
