Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 33+
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 33+.
GW33+ Deadline; Saturday 4th July 11:30am GMT
Fickle, much?
And on we go again! We hope you enjoyed your one day break from football. Or at least your spouse / better / worse half did. But fear not if you were having withdrawal symptoms as this weekend will certainly make up for it. Technically speaking you can watch football on Saturday from about noon until 10pm (and then stick MOTD on), and then again on Sunday it’s likewise but sadly only up until 9pm, (MOTD 2 will probably follow).
There’s then just the one game on Monday but don’t panic as GW34 then gets underway on Tuesday!
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 active should you need a timely reminder.
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 GW33+
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 has been posted way in advance of when it usually is.
Our GW32+ Result…
Last week (was it, sort of?) we spoke about a couple of one-week punts and we have to say they both disappointed a bit. Doherty got his clean sheet but nothing more and the less said about Rashford the better.
Our double Burnley defence (we lie somewhat, Taylor came off the bench!) did us proud as usual with 16 points between them. Elsewhere in defence Wan-B waved his wand and got us 10. We’ll forgive TAA, both an off night and apparently a week on the ale.
KDB and Bruno were our other linchpins with a total of 29 between them.
DCL and Salah can go sit with Rashford in the deuce dunce corner.
Had we nailed our Captain we would have probably been looking at a very good GW. As it was we went ‘safe’ with Jimenez. Safe got us 4 points…
We did still manage to get 71 points which saw us register our 3rd straight post-lockdown green arrow which puts us up about 13,280 places to 100,078th.
GW33+ TRANSFER
We have WILDCARDED!
We mentioned last week that we had identified GW’s 33 and 34 as being a good combo for two of our remaining ‘chips’ (technically the WC isn’t a chip but you know what we mean) and our intention was to WC in this one with a view the Bench Boosting next week. And for once we have told the truth!
The new squad itself is in the picture below but we won’t go through it in minute detail as it is pretty self-explanatory. In short, we have had to include a couple of cheapies in the likes of Foden and Greenwood in order to afford the rest of the usual suspects, all with a view to that BB next week. Our two youngsters have however both been getting good minutes and crucially also producing point returns. We’ve kept our Liverpool duo in the hope that they sobre up a bit before a plum game against Villa (in theory). The rest either have good fixtures or are in such good form that we couldn’t ignore them.
GW33+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW33+ will be BRUNO FERNANDES
Our Vice-Captain will be Salah.
Salah had this in the bag. Until we saw him and his drunk-mates on Thursday night! And then the fickleness struck. Before City’s 4th had even been conceived we had a full house of twitchers and Bruno emergered from the shadows. We’ve decided to take the in-form Fernandes who still has something to play for over the lacklustre looking Salah, who doesn’t.

My transfer this week: Pope IN, McCarthy OUT (Martinez on the bench).
Class act..
I played Free Hit and changed McCarthy to Ederson.
McCarthy will be back with me for 2 points on Thursday though don’t worry.
There is always something comforting about not being alone in your misery.
I hope we’ll find better luck next week, GP! :drinks:
:good:
I held on to him, thank God. I needed those points badly, I had 24 points last night, back up to 69 now. Southampton were excellent.
That’s like total jeopardy mate. If it helps, I did Mane to Salah.
Yep I feel your pain I did the same. However I still much prefer Salah so I’m fine with it
There’s no shame in having Pope in your side.
Phew, I needed that CS from McCarthy. And if the 3 BP stay on it will be even better
Awesome, and you still have captain to go!
Yes Carolyn, all eyes on Kane. This is his last chance in my team.
Well done Ivan.
That’s a pretty unexpected bonus haul huh?
Thanks GP. A ray of light in what turned out to be a disaster BB.
Hopefully Aurier can bring something tomorrow.
Hopefully Aurier can make this bench an even 10.
Never lose hope. That’s the rule.
That’s it B, with Aurier you never know. He likes to assist and if he replicates the goal against the wolves will be great.The only good thing with him is that he is quite disciplined and rarely gets into troubles to be carded.
Great stuff on Mason Greenwood (via The Athletic).
Was also reading that he is one goal two goals shy from beating Rooneys record of being youngest player to have highest number of goals, rooney had 8 or 9 at age 18 I can’t remember accurately. But Greenwood looks promising.
That’s where there is a fault with XG for me as he’s a clinical striker. When he shoots he usually scores he’s not one of these forwards that shoots from everywhere
He’s a proper player. Sme may say the next James Wilson….
Well triple City didn’t go too well…
Bit of a sore one but looking promising for midweek all the same i guess.
It’s a tricky league at the moment. Liverpool, for some strange reason, look like they’re going through the motions. City have the CL starting to loom on the horizon. The pack behind them, much hungrier, perhaps, could be the best source of points.
My experiments with Captaining has sunk my whole season. I promise not to take risks next season.
I’ve been adopting my usual low-risk approach and my captain decisions since lockdown ended have not gone well at all.
But you have to take things as they come. In the context of the MLs I’m in it hasn’t hurt me much yet.
I’ve had 21 blanking captains this season of the 33 GWs yet. That includes the TC Mane fail(1 pointer). On the other hand, one of my ML rivals have had a fairly decent luck with captains. He’s always 60-70 points ahead me despite having weaker teams/planning. Shows the importance of having a correct captain call. Hope next season shall be good wrt captain choices.
That TC on Mane was a very tough one.
I have a mad impulse to play it in 36 with Salah but will probably chicken out – Liverpool are probably going to treat the rest of the season as preseason – and put it on KdB, who then won’t start because of the semi-final. Putting it on a City player is risky as well, for obvious reasons.
Kralin, timing is probably everything now if you have a TC left, certainly in terms of probability of playing. Spotting a key player being rested and then (almost) knowing they will then start the next game may be key. KDB this week may be a prime example.
There’s always Bruno F! Seems like a pretty stable type of choice atm
Tell me about it. Yes I should just plonk it on him
Hey AJW. How are you sir? Rightly said. Just can’t seem to fit him right now. Hope Son does something tomorrow though. :good:
Hello Constantine – yes I am fine. Sorry I didn’t get back to you, as I have been very busy lately. I read that India has a very high rate of infection atm. Sorry to hear that, as you have all been under lockdown for many months already. Keep safe and keep smiling. Cheerio!
That’s a bit extreme. Only 5 points worse than Salah.
Not just for this week Smash. Whole season mate. Even 60%-70% correct rate could bring you better results. If 60% of picks were correct, I’d be atleast 50-60 points better of the current tally. Considering I have the blanking captain in my team as well.
Prob similar to mine then. My record is shocking. There have been some other moments as well that have really hurt my rank
I had the unending torment earlier this season of a ML opponent constantly playing, and getting huge points’ hauls for, three Sheffield defenders. I cannot begin to describe how frustrating that was each week.
I still grin whenever Sheffield concede, even now. Owning Robinson gives me a slight twitch.
We should make a club gents! I got it right this week but I am usually dreadful at it. We should discuss beforehand and if we all agree on someone, we should choose someone else :laugh2:
Tornado. good idea mate. hahaha. :rofl:
Apparently, this idiotic rotation is back – NO designated penalty taker at MU.
the penalties are just penalties – that’s the subject for tonight’s essay.
I had no idea Rashford was a fan of Michel Foucault.
:big-lol:
