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.

DCL to Greenwood? (Will wait til after the game)
Yes (Yes)
+1
Yes makes perfect sense. At some point he’ll be rested but your guess is as good as mine as to when that will be.
Definite for me.
(See graphic on pervious page).
Pervious?
Sounds, well, pervy. 😯
:hippo: :big-lol:
If you have 2 FTs, then sure. If not, then Id rather save it if youre gonna bench Greenwood any way.
Thanks all. I guess I’d start him and try figure out who to bench…
Jimenez to Kane was an interesting idea I saw elsewhere…
Good morning!
1FT, 0.1M ITB, WC&BB available.
1) Time to use my WC?
2) BB in 36 – good idea?
3) I didn’t see Liverpool‘s game, so Salah – stick or twist?
TIA
No idea it’s got to be used at some point really. You could leave it a week your team is strong so comes down to you really now
Cheers, Smash.
I do like the core of my team but that’s the thing, I have to do it, eventually. I want to get rid of Maupay, DCL, Hanley, Nakamba, Stevens, so I might go for it.
I’d stick with Salah for the next one anyway.
I’m honestly unsure about the best times for WC and BB now. Best thing is probably to post a wildcard squad as you would make it today and see how you feel
Something like that (without Salah) with BB for GW36 in mind
Looks great
Would be undure if Martinez ad Arsenal could keep Liverpool out so you could try to get McCarthy (home to Brighton) if you had the money. If not, Pulisic instead of Willian would be helpful.
Thanks GP!
Yeah, fair point, or I can just downgrade Evans to Soy and get McCarthy back in my squad.
I just don’t know if I am brave enough to go without Salah/Mane in my team.
Depends on your ML positions. Would be nice to play WC in second last GW, and have a perfect BB in last GW to get a last day lead on all your mates.
WC is not necessary this GW, neither is BB.
Thanks B. I am in top 3 in my MLs but it will go down to the wire.
I will decide after tonight’s game.
2ft and 0.2 itb and WC available. Cant see why I’d need to use WC but checking I’ve not missed anything. Any suggestions to what to do? Just thinking defence but not sure for what?
Was going to put in greenwood to raise funds but seems silly with all strikers doing ok recently
I agree. Probably just a sideways transfer in defence and save a transfer. You could take a little chance and bring in Eric Garcia of City at just 4.5mln and see if he keeps his spot.
Probably Holgate out would be what I’d look at.
Nice squad there :good:
+1 unless you want Kane for Bournemouth
Yeah that just crossed my mind too.
If you fancy that then Jimenez to Kane and Trent to Wan-Bissaka?
That won’t work. Need to be a 4.5mln defender sorry.
Cheers both. Kane would be nice but can’t see how I can get him without pulling my team apart
Has anyone considered ditching Salah? I’m likey going to WC and need to make some big decisions. I’ve looked at the next 5 weeks and I’m not sure he’s the best captain any weeks, with that in mind and City’s favourable run someone like Sterling may score more points. My only concern is ownership! Am I brave enough!!
I should caveat that by saying I’m in the top 10k, I still have my BB in hand, I suppose some would say play it safe but I’m inclined to try and take a few risks and make a push for 5k – what say y’all!?
Amazing rank and all set for a final push to an amazing rank. I think most would play it safe in your position but perhaps a few calculated risks could pay off handsomely and its more fun that way, just not too many. You obviously have been making good decisions so far so go with you gut i say.
Thanks Dale, Yes I don’t want to end up blowing it that’s for sure!! :yes:
Yeah I am thinking of getting rid, fancy getting Kane in or Sterling, you let me know so I can copy you.
You’ve just jumped over me in the reg league again so I’m saying nothing! haha. Well, I’m probably playing my WC so it feels like the right time for no guts no glory!
In all seriousness though, the biggest risk of not owning Salah is always his ownership and how it will affect you if he is highly captained and you don’t own him. However, I genuinely think there are better options every week now, even if you just flip between city and United you’re looking at:
New(H) City
Soton (H) United
Bournemouth(H) City
West Ham (H) United
Norwich (H) City
The ownership thing is a problem but I know I am not going to cap him again this season! I wonder what percentage of the top 10k have him!
His ownership amongst live teams is 36.7%. I’ve no idea what his ownership in the top 10k is, although I’m sure such info is available somewhere.
Live FPL is the shit when it comes to stats about player ownership in the top 10K OR.
Click on ‘Top 10k’ then there’s an option for player ownership.
Salah is currently owned by 60% of the top 10. TAA 83%.
I have Salah also Rosco, I’ve thought about doing Salah to Sterling and with my 2.0 mil in the bank gives me the option of getting Kane in if needed, the only thing I’m worried about is i have KdB and Foden already and Pep will be thinking about UCL and FA Cup, Where as Liverpool only have Premier games left!
This is another very good point I should have included! There is nothing worse than having your £11m player benched and then seeing a rival player damage your rank!!! Maybe I should er on the side of caution! It’s mainly City’s games against us in 34 and Bournemouth in 36 which is making me consider the risk. A lot of my decisions will be based on how Kane looks tonight as their fixture against Bournemouth on thursday could get messy!!
Yes I’m weighing up Salah and Jimenez to Son and Kane. Bou and then Ars, with Kane always seeming to do well in the derby. Ownership is a big risk, but I think less so now United have reduced the amount of Salah captainers.
Moving salah won’t be the maddest idea, I still think he has more goals in him though
I was in a similar position last year and decided to take some calculated risks and go for it, as I was not sure I would get such a good chance again. Ended up finishing in the top 1K.
I’m finding because I can have Foden and Greenwood who are so cheap I don’t really need the money from Salah. I guess it depends if you think Sterling/Kane/Auba will outscore him. I’m fine with keeping Liverpool players as I don’t see them suddenly losing games. There is rotation fear but that could happen with anyone really
No, I don’t need the money from him, as I have over £107m TV and as you say Foden and Greenwood open up lots of options, but that also creates a problem as my TV which would have normally given me an advantage is somewhat moot because everyone can kind of afford anyone if they build around Foden and Greenwood, so I guess I’m trying to look elsewhere for an advantage which may ultimately backfire!!
Yeah exactly that’s true. Your rank is so high so you don’t need to take massive risks just the odd differential
Hey Rosco. Here’s my thoughts on this. If you’re not dropping Salah because of funds required elsewhere, you could keep back enough cash in the bank so you can swap between Sterling and Salah on a weekly basis if required. It’s not a good strategy early in the season, as you potentially lose TV on each sale (or rather, you don’t keep the players long enough to accrue any additional TV on sale), but this late in the season TV isn’t so important. Also, if you’re about to WC, then in theory you shouldn’t need your FT each week for anything (barring injuries or suspensions) so it might actually help you to have the Salah > Sterling swap possibility each week to avoid those annoying times when you don’t want to burn a transfer. And, even if you don’t actually swap between them every week (or even at all), just keeping the cash free to enable you to do it will keep your options open (i.e. it’s only ever 1 FT to get Mo back in if he suddenly starts firing double digit hauls, without needing to liberate the required cash for the move from selling someone else).
So after building my team towards a BB36, I’ve now got a benching headache, I’ve played all the games in my head and come up with this, what would be your bench? I’ve done DCL to Greenwood, maybe a week early, but didn’t want to burn a ft, so 1 ft left amd 2.0m itb
I think you have it right as it is! Nice squad!!
Looks really good. My only thoughts for a future transfer would be Gomez to a Wolves defender perhaps. They have smoother remaining fixtures I think, and Liverpool seem to be struggling defensively with their away games atm. Also, Wolves defence is quite highly owned I think, so might be an idea to cover that by becoming an owner yourself (unless your double LIV defence is a deliberate tactic to go a bit differential).
Looking forward to this new GW, with not much time left.
FTx2, ITB 0.1m
Who needs to go? Thinking maybe one of the goalies and maybe Fernandez? Any ideas of tinkering?
Probably go captain Kane against Bournemouth this week? A good choice?
hammer
Providing your Spurs boys come through tonight unscathed then Rico to Diop would be my vote.
GP, thats not a bad shout. WIll obviously have to re-assess after tonight.
I only have Holgate, Son and Kane playing tonight though. I benched Aurier.
GP, now that Holgate is flagged, do you think its worth swapping him for Diop? or someone else?
Who should I put in as my goalie this week?
