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…

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.

Praying my double Sheffield defence can hold on :worthy:
There you go.
Having a really good start this week. 24 from for, may 2 bp coming too
From 4
Decent, I’m having a shocker.
Although my team is setup in mind to use BB next week so maybe sacrificed some this week with my transfers.
Anyone else beat 9 points from 5 players?
:hippo:
8 point from 4, + Foden 1 pointer coming…so will be same as you.
At this rate my Antonio will beat your team score.
Could be worth considering Salah > Antonio the way Salah has been playing recently.
May that make a dent in the 100k places he’s ahead of you by? :hippo:
:wink2:
Liverpool lol one hit wonders maybe?
19 hit wonders, Terminator.
This is the modern game now, not back in the day with jumpers for goal posts.
Lord forgive him, he knows not what he says.
Ya silly comment. The job is done and dusted, hard for them to play they way they did pre lockdown.
When TAA is 8+m next season will he make your team
Correct Terminator. Broken clock and all that.
I have made the final changes to my team, I had 2FT’s and thus 89 transfers later.
As soon as the team dynamic is thrown out for this ‘campaign’ to help Salah the whole thing goes tits up.
Great to see, easy to avoid. Basic error from Klopp allowing it.
Think too much is being made of this – the league is won and maybe (if it exists at it) it’s seen more as an attempt to keep them going.
Another 13 year old who doesn’t realise football existed before Sky Sports!
It’s just a shame when some people can’t acknowledge a great feat. This particular period, whether it continues or not (I rather suspect it may), will be looked back upon as one of Liverpool’s greats, one amongst many.
I’m really beginning to dislike football fans. And I count myself among the fans I dislike.
I much prefer sports like cricket & cycling. Because I don’t support any team or individual I can just enjoy watching both sports!
Oh don’t listen to me, I’ve been on the beer all afternoon celebrating my FPL feat of the season!
Great achievement by Liverpool, and pretty obvious the intensity would have dropped off to a point. Why shouldn’t it? Gives them a chance to rest up slightly before next season. City, Chelsea, Leicester, United, Arsenal don’t have that luxury. And it’s been earnt.
Though for their sake they need to stop being embroiled to any degree in this Golden Boot ‘help’ for Salah otherwise it could and maybe already has created divisions in the dressing room.
Its not like Salah needs much help FFS!
I’m really beginning to dislike football fans I just avoid like the plague any forum other than this to talk about football – and try to spend most of my time here talking around it.
Most football forums – and fantasy forums – are utter cesspits. There is no line between ‘banter’ and trolling.
I’d like to think that we avoid that on here and generally we seem to. Not quite sure how or why but we do seem to maintain an air of both respect and respectability which others don’t. It’s certainly one of the most friendly forums you could come across, and I’m proud of our community for that.
The best thing about all this is that Cookie thought you were referring to him!
:big-lol:
It’s a long long time since Cookie was 13 :big-lol:
Sterling goal, Jesus assist.
Its looking like one of *those* weeks.
Think some managers will be lucky to break 20 points tonight.
Tomorrow’s results could be very important.
14 here K from 5 (gulp) with KDB still playing
I’m on about -25 from 13 with just a penalty miss from (captain) Bruno to look forward to. I swear my bottom lip has only once briefly wobbled.
18 for me :/
I’m not even bothering to look at my score or rank.A lot of people doing badly.You have just got to laugh sometimes.
Yes and as I’ve droned on many a time, it’s the score at the end of the GW – really, the end of the season – that matters the most.
Jesus goal, Rodri assist.
Nothing for KDB
Yet.
Hit the post :dash:
