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.

Jiménez.
Stick or twist?
Stick
I would twist if it’s to bring Vardy.
If you can afford to get Vardy for him do it, if not stick
I like the idea that this is actual Pontoon (or Blackjack/Vingt-et-Un for our American/French cousins respectively) and you receive a random striker from the FPL dealer if you twist.
Dare risk it when there’s a Joelington in the deck?…
I honestly don’t know. 51/49 stick at the moment
Scraping the century mark with 98 if bps remains. Big turnaround for me after the lockdown. Happy if I finish inside 100k rank but now 50k looks feasible. Hope you all had a fantastic Gwk.
nice
Great score, ended upon 85 and a green arrow so I’m pleased
Happy punter…9 of the 11 ‘scored’ for me this week…….bow your heads in shame TAA and Saiss….but so pleasing (and so rare) when you get points right through the side… and not based off the skipper either…this lark is easy huh….least until next week when my whole side gets rotated out!!!
Still will bask in the warm glow of a good GW for now….its why we play……hope y’all scored well
Well done Drexl! Yes, enjoy this week.
Is bringing in Vardy for Kane a no brainier of would Jesus be a better punt
I think I’ll give Kane 1 more week
I think I would go for Vardy Smash. He’s hungry for the golden boot and it’s a weak opponent.
No brainer mate
Between the Jesus and Vardy, I will go with Jamie every time
Anyone got their wildcard and Bench boost left? If so when are you looking to play them both?
I was thinking maybe wildcard next game week and BB the week after possibly
Not looked particularly yet but apparently 36 is a good week for a FH so presumably you could make that work for a decent BB too. Albeit loading a week early but play it right and it should work out.
Thanks for the replies guys. This is my current team. I’ll post what I would potentially go to.
Potential wildcard team with BB in Gameweek 36. Thinking to get in Vardy and Ings as they will go for goals.
Open to making tweaks to the potential wildcard. Anyone else got any ideas for a wildcard that week?
I will be playing my BB in GW36. Used my WC, unsuccessfully, this week.
Yes to both, 36 and 37 are my current thinking but I’m weighing up going this week too!
Hey Rosco you some a wildcard draft yet?
No not yet, to be honest it won’t differ hugely from my current team I’ll just spread the £5.4m ITB around a decent bench. Saints are looking good both 36 and 37 so maybe McCarthy, Stephens and Ings.
Ahh good shout! I could add them instead of Taylor and pope to my draft above. What do you think of it?
Just seen your team above, probably similar to that!! My thinking on holding till next week is I can potentially take Salah out for a week (I doubt I will though) I’ll pick 3 city players who will hopefully get starts and some Chelsea cover, them pick up those saints for their game against Bournemouth and BB
Looking at your draft I’d say I’ll have at least 11/12 of those in mine!
Ok I’ve made 2 more changes. What do you think of this for next Gameweek
Actually just checked that defence would be bad for next week. Maybe I’ll hold….
I’ve really struggled with this since coming back from the break. It seems I lost all momentum to keep track of it all and so I’ve only seen red arrows since the return. So at the very last minute I dumped Lundstram and brought on Auirer for a -4. I think that paid off alright considering. This week to get Vardy back I would have to take another hit. I was thinking Jiminez>Vardy and VVD to some 5.5 or less defender. Losing VVD seems a little rash just yet. Thoughts on those? The only way to do it without a hit is Rashford>Vardy and that doesn’t seem smart. Team is below and I welcome any thoughts on it.
ODT
Your first sentence completely and succinctly describes my return.
I’ve been poor and i think it’s a number of things a lot outwith my control.
Won’t stop me trying but I can’t wait until it’s done mate.
Hold until we see that Vardy is good to go. But is a straight swap from Rashford that silly? He’s not getting Bruno or Greenwood’s numbers.
Rashford and Jiminez to Greenwood and Vardy… nice and simple!
Both of you have fair points. Thanks. Any ideas on when, if at all, the Vardy decision is made?
