Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 35+
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 35+.
GW35+ Deadline; Saturday 11th July 11:30am GMT
Timing is everything…
For those of you struggling to keep up with the rapid deadlines; tough sh*t & :punish: :mosking: It’s posted on site in at least three different locations, including a very handy countdown timer. But if you are one of those, not to name names, (Raz, Ivan & AJW) you may want to pay attention to the following as the next few weeks may prove particularly challenging for you;
GW35+ ends abruptly on Monday night, GW36+ then begins the following day. Which is called Tuesday, just in case you are already struggling to keep up. That one then goes all the way through until Friday night. And then GW37+ begins on Saturday. Which is the day that follows Friday.
As for 35+ itself we have the (now) usual divorce lawyers dream of five games on Saturday from about midday to 10pm, four on Sunday but ending at 8 and then another on Monday. But that’s where you need to start paying attention as 36+ creeps up quickly.
As always we shall endeavour to post the line-ups prior to each phase of the relevant GW and our usual aforementioned FPL Countdown Timer (to be found above the latest comments section) will once again be active.
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.
The games in full…
FF247 SITE TEAM GW35+
Our GW34+ Result…
Talking of timing our Bench Boost week began well on Tuesday with Pulisic smashing one in which also saw him grab a couple of bonus points. Foster let us down somewhat though as we had that one down as a nailed on clean sheet. Sort of.
In the more reliable corner Pope and Taylor duly delivered on Wednesday against the #bendoverBrady bunch. Taylor even obliged with an assist and the full three bonus.
Seemingly we picked the wrong Man City assets for their routing of Newcastle, but we suspect we weren’t alone in that. Captain KDB did still bring in a semi-respectable 14.
Our decision to keep Salah, or rather dither and not actually make a decision at all, inadvertently keeping him in the process, paid off big time. 18 points big time. TAA did diddly-squat though.
Jimenez doing likewise may have sealed his fate but we shall come onto that later. As for Doherty we just had to laugh, how could you not with a CS and bonus points in the bag after 90 minutes. And then that…
Heading into Thursday with 71 points and 5 players left its fair to say we were eyeing the hollowed ton. Things got off well with both Ings and Aurier doing their jobs. One with a goal, the other with a clean sheet and bagging 5 bonus points between them.
We just needed Man United to hammer Villa, or at least tap them out a bit. It ended up somewhere in-between the two stools but fortunately we seem to be better at picking players from the other side of Manchester (aka Salford) as our trio got 26 between them to take us to a final tally of 114.
This meant another green arrow and a healthy rise of over 50k places up to 33,422nd. Let’s go see what we did with our 2 free transfers.
GW35+ TRANSFER
We have SOLD Jiménez and Doherty and BOUGHT Vardy and errrrr someone we never thought we would buy.
Unfortunately our stooge who lazily couldn’t be arsed to sell Salah last week was given this week off from transfer decision duty. Hence it fell to the other maverick to orchestrate proceedings. And this one never does nothing. Ever.
Jiménez to Vardy was the obvious shout but we couldn’t afford that alone, in fact we were just 1.8mln short. Not an easy amount to find. We could sell Salah but our sensible ones wouldn’t allow that. We could sell TAA, but that was thrown out too. Despite both being likely to be benched this week. Allegedly. The sale of Doherty was mooted and then gained traction. But who would we buy for 4.6mln? It was then suggested we buy Iheanacho and save all the hassle. That idea wasn’t even commented on. Bastards. Just watch him outscore Vardy. So we had 4.6mln to spend on a defender. Not much there. And no suggestions from the Brains Trust so nothing was done and just like that Vardy’s price rose overnight and now we only had 4.5mln to spend.
To cut a long story short (errrrrm bit late for that pal), we had a choice of Jack Stephens of Southampton and Aaron Cresswell of West Ham. Lol. All this to get Vardy. FML. Both have decent looking fixtures. Even Cresswell and his bunch of useless no-hopers, but at least he can cross the ball even if defending is a slight issue.
Amazingly, Cresswell was voted in basically so we can play him vs Norwich this week rather than Stephens vs United. It’s a genius move that we recommend you all make immediately.
GW35+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW35+ will be Bruno
Our Vice-Captain will be Vardy
Bruno won the vote 3-2 with a late surge in the voting. Difficult to argue with as he is the form player of the league and has the added bonus of playing in the final fixture of the game-week on Monday evening.

Morning all! But of a benching headache with the front 8! Play Pulisic or play Ings? Building up a strong bench to use the BB with over the next couple of weeks.
Id play Pulisic
I’d play a Pulisic over Ings. I can’t see Ings doing much
Morning all..20 points behind my ML leader and really want to close the gap..my current dilemma…
Rashford to Vardy
Mane to pffft I dunno..
For context they have Ings Jimi greenwood and martial Salah combo..
Cheers in advance
I’d live with losing Rashford
It seems to be the best option..mane has a cloud over him at the moment but I ain’t takin no hits…not never no way..
Poor Mané is being victimised by his scum team mates favouring Salah. Which is good as the cracks begin to appear in what seemed a happy team.
Shame Cookie! A little hopeful there?
One season wonders mate.
See Blackburn, Leicester.
Every dog has their day.
😉
:big-lol: yeah shame Ive got him!
Good to go with that starting 11?
Looks good to me Shadow
Looks good to me Shadow. Mine is near the same further down below, let me know what you think
Morning all I’m good to go winning ML by 30
Very nice, look set for a good score this week.
Morning guys is my starting 11 and bench order ok? 1FT and 0.1 in the bank. Do I get Vardy for a -4 or do I just roll the transfer? I’m 125k rank at the moment.
Eagle, how much do you need to turn Jimenez into Vardy?
I need £1.7 but since already have 3 MU players then can’t get Greenwood unless I get rid of slabhead Maguire.
DCL to Iheanacho for a one weeker?
I like this move. Also, not a fan of Aurier – a red card is bound to happen to him soon enough
Lost any discipline I ever had.
-12 hit taken.
OUT go TAA, Mount, Rashford & Jota
WELCOME to Azpi, Antonio, King Mason I & Vardy.
#gobigorgohome
You big wally :big-lol:
Kop, TAA very nearly became Cresswell :big-lol:
Turns out I’m the wally!
I tip my hat to you Cookie…
I think it’s the first time I’ve seen you take a -12 hit but I like it. I applaud your bravery. Good luck cookie
Cheers fella, what will be will be. No interest in cheering Liverpool any longer plus TAA won’t start anyway.
Plus it means I have interest in games I can watch with my boy.
Gonna have some fun these last few weeks and see what happens.
Hit repaid!! Antonio hat-trick!!! :big-lol:
Cookie – we both know TAA is going to bang an assist or two this game!
I’ve taken 2 x -8 in the last 3 GWs and they’ve all came to fruition so I do wish you good luck!
I see you’ve given the armband to Fernandes, not Vardy? That’s a very unlike Cookie move!
I wish I’d got Iheanacho instead Milky to be honest.
Cookie,
I’ve been tempted myself lately. Only still having a squeak in one particular mini league has stopped me.
I’m desperate for the season to end. It’s been too disjointed with many more changes affecting the game.
Still, we’ll all be refreshed and ready for 1st August when SPFL Fantasy begins!
:big-lol:
I can’t believe you took a -12 and DCL survived
May still need him for 36 & 38 Smash!
Either he or Vardy become Ings next GW. All depends on the trigger finger :big-lol:
Ah yes him to Ings makes sense next week
I thought the very same Smash
:big-lol:
