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.

Righto, its WC time…. so, if you were on a WC now who would be your midfield 5 (money no object!)
Hmm.
Noble-Cantwell-Wijnaldum-Matic-Salah
Kidding. Probably KdB-Martial-Fernandes-Pulli-Sterling
Wow, that’s actually the last draft I did, I fear no Salah but then Sterling could match him or more
Nice, I’ll take your ideas onboard…
Antonio KdB Bruno Salah Sterling
You think Antonio has more performances like todays in him? 2/3 good fixtures so I could move my BB to GW38 if I went with him I guess
Could try Willian/Pulisic but the have Wolves & Liv to play. But great against hopeless Norwich next. Almost every season Antonio has short spurts of brilliance. Could be gone, could still be there.
I do like him as a player but after a 4 goal haul its hard not feel like I’m points chasing, that said Villa in GW38 looks tasty!!
BB in 38! 😯 Sometimes it’s hard to get 11 in 38 with all the squad players given a chance.
KDB, Antonio, Sterling, Fernandes, Salah.
Antonio BW I know, but will be flying and with plum fixtures too, Salah created 3 Gilt edged goals today.. and more…so is still in my scope despite blanking (as opposed Mane who’s bolt looks shot), and Sterling (though I much prefer Mahrez as a player) still has a part to part this season. David Silva as a ‘lite’ version of Mahrez/Sterling knick it for me in front of Foden.
This is a great insight, I’ll be honest I was walking the dogs during the pool match so I was going to watch MOTD but had already jumped to the Salah out conclusion…which is crazy given his score just a few days ago!! No KDB could be dangerous though, such a high ownership!!
KDB, Fernandes, Pulisic, Salah, Martial. But you could ditch Martial and go Greenwood and Rashford up top and bring in another City mid or Willian just for next week.
Hmm, this fella must have a working crystal ball.

Sorry, meant as post.
My pal text me this afternoon to say his mate (who I dont know) had TC Antonio, that was when he had 2 goals, he said he wasn’t a very good player just dumb luck!! Apparently 105 people used the TC on him this week!
105, that is incredible.
There may have been a few one-off teams amongst that 105. But maybe not.
Amazing!! Season long player. 70k rank before this week. 1 transfer. Son for Antonio. TC last chip. 😯
Top 5 for me,
1. Kdb
2. Bruno
3. Martial
4. William
5. Salah
+1
Well I have 4/5 right now before my WC (foden over Willian) , given that Foden has been benched I’m thinking you may be right!!
Well foden missing this game isn’t all bad, he should start v Bournemouth now.
Will hasn’t done much today, foden to much in his last. It’s a hard call
I’d consider Richarlison as well. Very reliable.
2 pt Pulisic, 2 pt Mane, 1pt TAA…what a start to the week :no:
9 from 4 here if Azpi or Willian don’t contribute anymore..
Actually 9 from 5, christ.
Foden benched, KDB starts.
Tnx Shadow.
Hopefully foden gets a 30+ minute game.
Should start against Bournemouth at least, could be plenty of points in that game.
I hope so! This is tough as I have him now but not sure if I should keep him on my WC.. but then its Bournemouth!! I need less forward and more midfeild spots!!
Ya forwards have been a let down this season. I take it you have Greenwood in the team to fund the midfield?
Brighton v Man City
So after a million complaints, you guys can finally see my team. No more monkeys and hamsters.. just an fpl history page. :slaphead:
3-0
Prefer the monkeys :big-lol:
Why? :popcorn:
SHEF 3 – CHE 0 Incredible…go Blades! :rofl:
Chelsea is really in danger of losing that cl spot. Both Leicester and United will come out with the big guns.
What a journey SHU has been on. Hope they make a film about them.
Bees, don’t know about SHU but remind me never to consider a Chelski defender. Most goals conceded from the top 6 PL teams :no:
I am not likely to touch them either Ivan. How is your team doing? Not a good start here 5pts for Puli, TAA and Mane.
Bees, utterly disappointing so far. Played FH, 2 points for each VVD and Mane, Cathcart didn’t show up and nobody on bench to sub him, Foster with 3 points
Great to hear that Raz, Man U deserve the spot
McGoldrick having never scored in the PL before gets 2 today. Cheers to him.
At 32 as well!
He is a very intelligent all round footballer imo. Pleased for him he got that monkey off his back.
I just brought in Willian and Pulisic. FFS :rant:
I just brought in Willian for Foden. This will backfire greatly.
Always got to judge transfers over a couple of gamesweeks. Willian doesn’t have the worst fixture coming up – a game Chelsea now have to win. I’d’ve thought Chelsea losing today was quite a good thing, fantasy wise (as long as City are reprieved and can play in the CL).
