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
Think I might take a hit and take out rashford and Jim to bring in Greenwood and Vardy, winning my ML by over 170 points.
What ya think?
Hell yeah
In your elevated position I’d let others take the hits. And isn’t Rashford going to get the next penalty?
Yeah I think it is his turn, a hit is the only way I can get Vardy but maybe i don’t need him?
Carolyn, two weeks ago I wished you to get in top 5 K, now you are bordering 2 K. A very well done girl.
Best of luck for top 1 K finish of the season :good:
I think you might get over the line in that league Carolyn.
You could put me up front and still win that one! :good:
Great plan GP get your shorts on :big-lol:
Careful what you wish for Carolyn….
Hi All I hope you’re well.
My wildcard is now set and BB is happening in 36. Good to go? Open to tweaks as always. 0.1 itb
Good squad. Set well.
I’d only swither on playing Aurier ahead of Saiss.
Thanks GP. I think I’ve got the optimum team for 36. I may play Aurier for his potential attacking returns. Thinking to make Salah Sterling next week to triple up on city. Hope you’re all set.
Rest in peace Jack
I brought Sterling in today. Triple City is a great idea. Nailing the ‘correct’ three, more difficult.
Hey GP do you still have Salah? Can you post your team please. I have doubts about Salah starting and am contemplating doing the Salah to sterling move today. I’ve read a few articles mentioning Klopp may rotate and Salah could be benched
I don’t have Salah and yeah of course he could be rested but I don’t think so.
If you have him, I’d definitely keep him.
Hi guys – can anyone help me out with my WC for this GW please? 0m in bank
Cheers GBP
Like it! I have my team just above and have the majority of your players. You still got BB? I’m planning to play it next week
Cheers Neilos – your team looks very good! Yeah still got BB.. plan like you was for next week to use it
Good plan. Would you consider Chan your keepers? Reina and Pope don’t have the best fixtures next week. I actually dropped Pope which is a bit controversial given his form
*changing! Autocorrect!!
Neilos – who do think I should switch to?
Hey GBP. I’ve gone for De Gea and McCarthy but Chelsea and Spurs have a great chance too for clean sheets that week.
I like it. I’d prob downgrade Egan to Lamptey and get a United defender instead of Soyuncu personally
Thanks Smash!
Im chasing, so was trying to have a differential with a LEI Def, they have ok fixtures?
Still stuck on who to capt? Thoughts?
I’m not sure they are great really. Sheffield United, Spurs away and United. I see Bournemouth scoring. Think I’m on Fernandes I can’t see that changing
Smash – yeah, looking at that now – that haven’t. Let me see who I can get in from MU… AWB seems to be the best choice from their DEF though?
Jack Charlton has passed away. As manager of Ireland he gave me some great childhood memories.
Now he was a legend
Indeed he was.
He’ll be missed dearly. Brought great times as Ireland manager.
Sad day for all big jack Charlton , Leeds & Ireland fans & I’m one of them
Very sad news
Am I G2G or should I take a -4 on a defender or 2nd keeper. About 50 points clear on my ml
That’s fine.
Cheers gp
