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.

Anything you would change from this?
In your shoes I would bring Antonio in for Zaha.
That will be £1,000 please.
Antonio is more expensive
By the way I did get Antonio
The manager? :big-lol: :wink2: (I know Aarron personally btw just before anyone comments that that was below the belt!).
Seriously though, looks good. This is a FH yeah?
This is my free hit, any ideas on a Zaha replacement?
Pulisic or Willie but I don’t think Zaha is a bad shout either as a bit of a differential.
Not got enough cash in bank for Willian or Pulisic, 6.7 Is the range I’ve got
I’d downgrade Soyuncu to Justin and get Antonio as he plays Norwich. You could get a Chelsea mid and downgrade further as I don’t see a clean sheet for Leicester anyway
Is Justin guaranteed to start after that tackle from Tuesday night?, Currently have Bowen in for zaha
Looks decent. I would not bother with Zaha
Went with Antonio instead
Any suggestions what to do here?
1) swap button for Martinez
2) holgate to Doherty
3) use wildcard in prep for BB although can’t see much that I’d change
4) something else!
Cheers
maybe just bring in that cheap – 4.0 I think – B&HA defender for Holgate. Save a few pence.
Thanks
Is he playing ? Lamptey? Just thinking of bb for 37
Ok last time, what to do here, leave as is, kane to vardy or something else? Thanks.
Kane to Vardy seems fine to me.
+1 I must admit I’m tempted by Jesus. I don’t see any real reason keeping Kane
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys. Thanks guys
Hey guys,
A slender 3 point lead in my ML. Is it worth it to take a -4 for a better player. If so who would you take out and for whom?
0FT and 2.2 itb.
Is Vardy a good shout for the rest of the season considering he plays SHU, Spurs and ManU in the following 3. Would Jesus be a better option ?
Have you already done a transfer then?
Yes I did. Nketiah to Greenwood
I think Vardy is a good shout for this week I’m not sure about season.
I don’t like the idea of Vardy as a one week punt. Though my rival has him in his team and light capo him next week like he did with Kane last week since they played Bournemouth.
I must admit I’m not completely convinced but I’ll free hit next week and then maybe move him on
Afternoon
I trust everyone is well?
Managed to get 91 points and I’m still in the hunt for my ML.
This is currently my team for GW35+ I have 1 FT & 0.1 ITB, thinking of rolling the FT tbh.
Am I good to go? Do you think salah gets rested? Should I go with Bruno as capo?
Hello, mate hows tricks?
Had to double-check it was def you when I saw the words ‘rolling the FT’ haha. I’m guessing Auba stays for the season?
Just realised you’re benching Greenwood? I would probably start him over Jimi!! In answer to your other questions, Salah could be rested, but he was rested in 30+ and given Klopp’s comments re Golden boot you would think he plays but your guess is as good as mine!
I’m good mate.
Yeah I was thinking of benching jimi.
I was planning to keep PEA didn’t think of the vardy suggestions below – vardy feels like a trap?
I don’t think it’s a trap, it’s an obvious move many will take, but then it may not pay off as it was with Kane. As always in these situations there are pros and cons!
I’m not completely convinced and think it might be a trap. But I have Kane and plan was to move him on for Vardy so will likely go for it
Auba to Vardy.
Cheers init! I will have a few beers and see what I wake up with tomorrow morning!
Tempted to say a hangover but that sounds more like a quote from the Uni days… :rofl: I suppose either is applicable although probably more the former these days, or at least your Mrs would hope so!
Kind of about having points on the board now so I’d prob move Auba on for Vardy. You are in good shape there anyway. Salah I think he starts but if he’s going to get rested it will be this week but I don’t see any reason to rest him and he won’t want to be rested
Thanks smash!
We really think salah gets rested this weekend? Given his pursuit of the golden Boot? On a wc and trying to pick between mane and salah.
Absolute worst case scenario he gets 30 mins against tired Burnley so I’d still go Salah. Personally I think he starts as they ain’t in any cup competitions so what’s the point in resting him as he will be desperate to play
