Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 34+
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 34+.
GW34+ Deadline; Tuesday 7th July 5:00pm GMT
A game of two halves
WAKEY WAKEY FOLKS! GW 34+ is upon us, about 14 hours after the last one finished. And we are back as ever with the latest LMC and FF247 Site Team news.
Finally it looks like some of the players and teams are warming up nicely and perhaps those balmy yet boring evenings of bore draws and friendly pre-season type games are behind us. This particular one spans three days over Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before we have the now usual break on Friday ahead of getting going again with GW35+ on Saturday. It’s Christmas on steroids.
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 active should you need any quick help keeping up.
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 GW34+
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 is now posted way in advance of when it usually is.
Our GW33+ Result…
Our GW (and WC) got off to a flier with Captain Bruno of the Good Ship Ole hauling 30 points. His mate Mason grabbed two goals and his performance probably deserved more than the meagre 13 that it brought in. The new Mbappe anyone? Either way enjoy him at £4.4m as he’ll be a damn sight more next season. Wan-B was our other United asset but Bournemouth unexpectedly p*ssed on our CS chips.
Doherty and Jimenez were suprisingly quiet against Arsenal but Pulisic rounded our Saturday off nicely with an assist and a great performance which gives us hope that he will keep his spot in Frank’s team. The new Hazard anyone?
If Saturday was good then Sunday was a different beast as it began poorly with Pope conceding a late goal and the feckin eejit didn’t even make enough saves to garner a bonus. He’s been told. Must try harder.
Things did improve marginally with Salah grabbing a late assist and TAA managing an inevitable CS, but nothing more. Not quite what we expected from either at home to Villa. KDB was then benched, as was Foden who would have been his replacement for us. Both emerged for fruitless 30 minute cameos. The only surprise was that Foden didn’t score to compound our Sunday misery.
We finished the week on 71 points. That left us with another green arrow and a rise of 13,150 places up to 86,928TH.
GW34+ TRANSFER
We have SOLD and BOUGHT……eh? Not sure? So a day or two ago we were all for selling Salah and buying Son. Then we watched Spurs play a bit and started thinking maybe that was not so wise. The problem though is we had no consensus on what to actually do. Someone said Sterling, the other said just keep Salah. Kop is still drunk and one of our other committee members never appeared. So basically the decision was left to the person finishing up this article and if you leave the decision to a lazy person don’t be shocked when he makes the lazy (not necessarily wrong) decision. So we did nothing or did we? Well, if we do change our mind in the morning we will be sure to update this article and post it on the chat, well someone will, but it won’t be this lazy ass, my work here is done!!
We have played our BENCH BOOST
Yep, we’re going chip crazy here. In fact this is our last. We played our WC last week with the intention of following through with the BB as we had identified this week and last as a good combo for doing so. Part 1 went well ish, let’s see how Part 2 pans out…
GW34+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW34+ will be Kevin De Bruyne.
Ironically his benching at Saints helped us along nicely to this decision, for obvious reasons. Although he did look a little off colour when he came on. Probably just needs a shave.
Our Vice-Captain will be our new signing Bruno Fernandes.

Jimenez out Iheanacho in?
Is Jimenez to Vardy worth a -4, probably have to be funded with TAA to Digne?
Oh wow, just seen someone else asked this exact question. So even if we find out he’s playing still not worth it?
Jimenez to Iheanacho worth it if Vardy isn’t playing?
Possibly but I wouldn’t be anywhere near as convinced about him or Leicester as I would if Vardy was there.
Hahaha everybody – I suspect that Jamie Vardy will be in a record 99.8% of teams this week, IF he is not suspended. Even phantom teams are looking to get him in for the big fixture against Bournemouth, thanks to the interventions of a team of mystery nerds in an abandoned factory in Western Siberia (who will actually hack unused teams and activate their remaining WCs, TCs, FHs and what-not!).
BUT…as we say, ‘many’s the slip twixt cup and lip’, and Vardy could end up like Michael Jackson before his great worldwide comeback tour (metaphorically of course!), when he reportedly said something along the lines of, “Hey I think I’ll go on a worldwide comeback tour -but first of all, I’m going to take my vitamins, just like the doctor ordered!” (RIP Michael – sorry mate, you were a great dancer, but hopeless at taking advice! Just another ‘Candle in the Wind’!).
Oops – I am going off on a tangent, aren’t I?
Good luck for the rest of this GW people – and keep me posted on the Vardy front – as not a lot of French news sites have picked this one up! (Although I am looking to communicate with Rebekah, as she sounds like a fun contact to have!)
Cheerio – time for brekkie (that’s breakfast, sorry!)
I do enjoy these early morning musings of yours mate!!
Thanks Rosco! How’s the decision making process going mate? Get down to some Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, or Creedence Clearwater to help you!
Hope you’re alright up there (in Newcastle) – speak to you soon!
Haha, all excellent suggestions right there!! I’m still pondering a WC this week or next, I think the smart play is next but having double Wolves defence again this weekend is a sickner!!
Penalty duties at Manchester United:
Yay! Got em both!
Please rate my team below
Also whom to captain
Team looks fine and judging by last night, that is still a great captain choice :yes:
What about below also captain please ??
Morning all, well Salah singlehandedly bailed me out last night! strange that a player so highly owned can still move me a few thousand places without the (C). I see a lot of talk of him being rested at the weekend, is this wishful thinking on the part of those who sold him? The assumption seems to be that because Mane was rested it’ll be Salah’s turn next, whilst I agree this is a distinct possibility will there not be some kind of gesture of faith from the gaffa in helping his quest for the Golden boot? I guess there is the hope that even if he is benched he can still come on and do damage there, I was going to ditch him on my WC, but such thoughts have left the building!
See above comment :good:
Yeah I don’t know is there really any need to rest him. He’s certainly not going to want to be rested that’s for sure.
Current draft for wc in gw 35, bb 36. Thoughts? Suggestions? Much appreciated
It looks nicely set for a BB for GW36. Who would be your subs for GW35 though?
This is on the understanding Vardy will escape any retrospective punishment obviously.
What punishment is this GP? I was looking to bring Vardy in this week.
He (un)intentially caught Mustafi with a raised/accidental leg on Tuesday.
Hold off for now I think.
When are we going to find out if he will be punished?
Not sure – all speculation just now. Some are saying because the referee saw it that it can’t be looked at (I think it can) and the Mail Online are the only one saying that they “understand” he’s escaped it.
I’d think there will be something tomorrow on it.
ok, thanks for the updated GP.
Will wait till late to find out whether to bring him or Iheanacho in.
I would be tempted to downgrade Schmeichel to Martinez and upgrade Souchek to Foden or Pulisic if you downgrade a defender as well.
