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.

Is a -4 to turn Foden and Rashford into Martial and Vardy crazy?
my initial reaction beno was “yes”
But Foden tends to play every second game. If you dont, who plays ?
It’s all context-driven now and those moves may be perfectly sound in the world of your mini-leagues.
I wouldn’t want to throw Foden over – he’s the Man City player least likely to frustrate, given his cheapness – but I’d want Vardy.
-4 for DCL, Jimi & AWB for Vardy, Greenwood & Walker – any thoughts or suggestions?
hard to say without knowing the rest of your team. Assuming AWB needs sacrificing due to 3 United.
Its not bad
Ya I’d do it. Only question is on Walker
I’d be reluctant to lose four points at this late stage, but entirely up to you. I’ve no idea how regular a starter Walker is so better check that.
Like you I invested in the Man U defence and with hindsight obviously wouldn’t have. Yet that defence hasn’t done too badly.
Thanks for your opinions. Need to ditch AWB as already have Fernandes and Martial.
Walker came on at half time at for Cancelo so would expect him to start the next match. I could bring in anyone less than 5.6m. Any suggestions? I am planning on playing Free Hit in 36
I dont see a better option. I would expect Walker to start – just you could see some rotation so questioning whether if Walker doesnt play in other games, if it causes problems
Saka first on bench the last few games. Worth a start?
Jimenze – what to do with him?
FT used for DCL out for Greenwood
Vardy? Could be worth it. But must say BOU looked really up for it today…
Same with me. On the bench for two weeks. But, I don’t think he’ll come out good against a boring Spurs team. I’d keep Jimenez for one more week.
-4 to change Mane to Salah? Sounds crazy I know…but Salah is after the Golden Boot and nothing is going to stop him. Mane looks way tamer.
Yes – No?
I am going for vardy, I think he’ll also be after the golden boot.
I’d only do it if your going two feet in and making him captain as well
I brought in Vardy. Nervous about making him captain though. BOU did not look scared today…they will go for it with desperation.
Will probably stick with Fernandez.
No. Question mark over playing time this gw. I have Salah. But wouldnt buy him this gw.
Think
Mane rested this GW
Firmino the week before
Salah could be this coming gw
Mmm…good thinking. Will leave as is. Thanks mate.
Yes may be a cameo appearance, but he may end up being the key to unlock Pope’s exceedingly hard-to-open front door.
I don’t see him being rested. There’s no real reason to do it and he will want to play every game. Could be wrong though
As long as its not his back door. :hippo:
:big-lol:
Played 3-4-3 formation and 6 of my 7 attacking players returned this week. Guess which one I captained? :slaphead:
Kane?
with the rest of them doing well your score must be good
I think I’ll end on 68pts once BPs are added. That’s less than most of my ML rivals.
My defence really let me down, especially the loss of 2 CS and 2 BPs when Wolves conceded in the last minute.
@Carolyn
Great score this GW. Well played!
Yep, spot on Carolyn :cray2:
Chipster, Kane has scored 10 out of ten against Arsenal. Maybe finally we’ll get something from him :wink2:
I think I will just keep him to the bitter end now. It’s either a genius move or utter self-sabotage. I’m almost beyond caring which at this point.
That is what I was thinking too. Just promise, no whingeing after he scores a hatty and we didn’t captain him :laugh2:
One can’t fault the logic of choosing him. Just playing for a side perhaps not at one with itself.
At least you can expel him for Vardy easily enough – though maybe there’s a jinx floating around when it comes to Bournemouth.
I was actually planning Jimenez to Vardy.
I suppose Kane to Vardy makes more sense.
I may just roll the FT instead. I’ll think that through tomorrow.
I admire your ‘neither a follower nor a leader be’ approach to things recently, Chips.
You’re bearing the frustration of owning Kane very well.
Worth it ?? Getting rid of DCL, TRaore & Pope
I’ll pretend I didn’t read the bit about Pope.
Feel he’ll definitely concede in the next 2 games So I need sub goalie
Nah keep Pope
Maybe I was hasty – if you feel that Ederson plays all games, its prob worth it
Not sure it’s worth a -4 for those moves. Do you have any money itb to just upgrade Button to a playing GK with good fixtures in the next 2? Then you still have Pope for the last two weeks.
Or just do the DCL and Pope moves and save the Willian move for next GW using your FT.
