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.

Evening folks,
Which one of these three would you play?
Holgate, DCL or Fernandez?
DCL. Assuming that Fernandez is Fernandez and not Fernandes.
DCL also.
DCL
Fernandez. This the Newcastle guy right, the expensive version of lascelles?
If there’s one thing we have seen in last two GWs, it’s that clean sheet points are more solid when fixture is good.
Cheers lads. Yeah it’s Newcastle Fernandez.
Still puzzling what to do here? 2FT, 0.0 ITB, WC and BB available.
I could try something like DCL and Boly to Nketiah and Doherty?
Can you afford Jota and DCL to Nketiah and Rashford? If yes then I feel that would maximize your points potential for this GW.
That’s a good shout
Unfortunately that doesn’t work. I just had a play with what a WC might look like. Not sure that’s the answer either?
@Stonefrog I would make two transfers this GW and WC the next
I agree with Horse I don’t think this is the week to wildcard because of the fixtures. Next week is a lot clearer
But I do like the team
It’s a fantastic wildcard (if that helps make up your mind).
This is pretty much my wildcard team, so I think it’s great.
Thanks all. Plenty to ponder.
Does McCarthy and Cathcart to Martinez and Holding work and tickle your fancy.
Jamie
Any advise here? Have 1FT and 0.2M itb.
1. Mane to Salah? Would have done Mane to Martial happily this GW but my ManUtd spots are all filled up.
2. Greenwood ahead of VvD?
I’d probably save there as gives another chance of seeing who’s the better bet of Mane and Salah against City. There ain’t much between them. I’d start VVD City are weak from set pieces and I don’t think Greenwood has started away
+1
Thanks Smash. Good insights.
Save that move B and you’re lined up nicely.
Hello
Has anyone decided who they are picking for captain yet?
I’m leaning towards Jimenez.
Yeah it only came off Jimenez very briefly for Mane but I don’t really like either
Jim is the popular pick. He did score against Villa last year in November, so there is some faith. Jim is not explosive though.
One of the three ManUtd boys have a higher points ceiling potential.
Got it on bruno at the moment. Might just stick with him.
I think you should stick it on Webster (our positons in the regs league may have something to do with this recomendation!! :hippo: )
Be funny if Webster scores now :hippo:
Ha ha ha, well of course I would but used my wildcard so not got him anymore! :big-lol:
Jimi but someone mentioned Doherty earlier and it started me thinking :wacko:
I am going with Rashford, after Martial it’s his turn for a hatty :yes:
Jimenez
Jiminez probably but I always get the fear with captaining in the first game.
But he has been very steady so far.
Man U should have enough to beat Brighton but that cup game just before makes me slightly wary.
Kane for me this game week Carolyn.
Jamie
I have yet to see any love for Son/Kane for captain.
Sheffield has conceded 3 goals each in last 2 fixtures, and there is a good chance that same will happen when they face Spurs.
Something to consider for those who are chasing in their mini leagues.
Too many ifs for me in that one. Kane looked better and was getting in the box but is he fully back or will he play DM again now he’s away from home. Son was a bit too wide for my liking and that’s who I own. Sheffield United might have their full strength back 5 and Keeper again. Mourinho also playing a bit more defensive
I don’t think the blades have scored since the restart have they?
So maybe Aurier (c) is worth a shout.
Now that’s a brave call. Hmm
Go on Smash, the gamble with TAA (C) worked great, have another go :wink2:
Or Doherty :mosking:
Only two games admittedly, but Kane has the best xG so far (shots taken that should normally result in a goal).
So he’s getting into the positions. Penalties might eventually help him.
I’m currently on Kane as captain (don’t own Son). I need to go a bit differential to make up ground in my MLs.
Oh Chips, don’t push me. Shall we try again :scratch_one-s_head:
I need to gamble again as well…
Hi all,
What do you people think about Nketiah’s chances of starting at home to Norwich?
That ‘you’ shouldn’t be there
What do “WE” people think about Nketiah? :mosking:
I think he plays horse.
Sorry GP. I have been to a funeral today and we gave him a proper send off and my fingers are a bit tipsy.
So play Nketia (NOR) or DCL (LEI)?
I’m kidding pal.
I’m not morbid but I love a good funeral tea. Few beers/stories etc. Been to plenty for the older ones in the family where it’s like last orders at 4 in the afternoon!
I like DCL because he definitely plays but that Arsenal fixture turns heads doesn’t it? How risky do you want to be?
I’d play safe with DCL I think.
Cheers GP
He was a scouser and they played YNWA at the beginning.
Mate if only you can have lasted another month!!
Makes sense what you say. DCL is the safer bet.
Good, in theory, in that you’d think Arteta will field a strong XI in the cup.
I’m guessing but I’m not sure he does. If he’s first choice now which I think he is he’s prob more likely to play cup game with Laca Getting Norwich game but who knows
I think it’s 50/50.
