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.

Anyone believe in this kinda stuff?
There’s a first time for everything right…
Nah it’s just gamblers fallacy, that is, you assume that because he has blanked 3 times he has to come good eventually. As for previous against a team, yes certain players perform historically well against certain opponents, but it’s probably more an indication that said opponents are continually crap as opposed to some mystical aura that guarantees points on specific fixtures. In short, sell.
+1
Except for the sell part, you could keep as well, he’s a good player and hence he scores goals and hence he hasn’t gone 4 games without a goal, he might score goals… It’s a bit of a 50/50 decision for me!
Is there any weight in my idea of:
Auba -> Vardy?
I have Sako to rotate with Foden if I want, but the Spurs defense vs. Bournemouth’s?
If you have no other issues then its a smart move given that most will bring him in this week and many will take a hit to do so. :good:
Are you bringing him in?
Maybe, I need to work out the best way to catch you!!
Well, my team is as follows:
Pope, Reina
TAA, Laporte, Saiss, Stevens, Target
Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Foden, Sako
Auba, Ings, Greenwood
No real redflags there? Although, I’d like some Chelsea cover soon. So Auba -> Vardy might free up some cash too?
Hi there!
1 FT, 0.4 ITB. I will be using my BB chip in GW36.
Is it Kane to Vardy no brainer or do I have bigger issues? Also, starting XI and bench order, right? Captaincy is going to be either Bruno or Vardy (if he is in my team).
TIA
Yep, keep it simple. Vardy in.
Thanks init!
I’d start Azpi over Doherty though.
Thanks Milk and Busquets! I don’t see any CSs in their fixtures. I only chose Doherty over Azpi because of his attacking threat (although he’s looked toothless recently). It is 50/50 though, so I will reassess tonight.
Morning guys
I have 1 FT & 0.7 ITB
Any help or advice pls?
Assuming Traore is fit (popped his shoulder out again) I’d probably save. This should in theory be Foden’s rest week but who knows.
Leave as is ? I also have BB still yet to play
Do you have a WC? if not then I would roll your transfer. Next week do Jim to Ings, the week after with your 2 i’d upgrade your keeper (Mcarthy) and if you have any injuries use the second FT on him and BB
No WC. But thanks for all the info
Guys, really not sure what to do here, any ideas, 1 ft, 0itb.
Kane to Vardy would be my move, I watched Spurs and they looked toothless, I see no reason to hold Kane at all !
Cheers Rosco, I know it probably makes sense.
FTx2 ITB:0.1m
Was thinking Kane->Vardy (If he isnt banned), and ditching either Son or Jiminez, but not sure who.
As for captain, if I bring in Vardy, it will be him.
Thoughts?
Can you afford Son to Martial and Jimenez to Vardy?
If not, then maybe Pulisic / Willian for Son and Jimenez to Vardy
Chipster, I can do the 2nd one. Why not ditch Kane though?
