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.

KdB replaced and he did shit all.
Foden on for a hattrick.
Jesus being subbed early sort of makes him more interesting. Vardy to Jesus it is.
Why is that Raz? SHU away is a much different beast to home
So I guess with those 3 subs the best three City players to have on free hit are Sterling (already had rest) KDB and Jesus
Yah, I actually have Mahrez so a little worried. Hope he gets one now.
Or Foden and David Silva ?
Foden is risky.
Mahrez and Sterling both finishing hte game. Concerning.
Yeah Foden is a little dodgy on a free hit DSilva is an option
Not as a one week punt.Starts next gw surely ahead of f.a. cup ?
Yeah maybe guess I’ll have lots of cash though
Was saying this the other day,you could build a great squad with just 90m at the moment there are so many cheap options about.
I told you City want to break their own record of goals scored in a season which is 106 from 2 years ago :yes:
Shame you didn’t tell us sterling was going to get a hatrick :rofl:
That’s the secret of the City machine. Everyone is waiting his turn :laugh2:
Who’s turn is it next week Ivan? 😉
Matt, this time it will be KDB. He’s been quiet for long enough. It will be a brace, that’s all I can foresee
I’ll take it! I need someone to blame when my decision to keep him backfires :hippo:
Would you have Salah on a free hit? It’s Arsenal away
Nope. He’s being extremely greedy and it’s affecting the team. I watched some of the game today and there were chances he could have put Mane through on goal but wouldn’t pass it to him.
He seems to be slightly more willing to pass to other players as long as it’s out wide so they can play it back to him. I could be completely wrong and someone can feel free to call me out on it.
I actually thought he was a little less greedy today,as if he had had a talking to.Mane had a good chance to put him in at one point and deliberately ignored him which i had a little chuckle at.
Oh he was less greedy for sure but not to Mane. I saw a few times he didnt pass it to Mane and vice versa. Personally I think Klopp should have benched Salah today because he’s starting to put himself above the team which will cause problems.
Liverpool haven’t had any big ego players for a few years now and it’s worked so Klopp should maybe have used today as a way to say ‘I benched Mane last week, this week it is Salah’s turn’
Matt this is the point I have tried to make twice today.
Its been clear for the last 2/3 games that Salah is not passing to Manè. Firmino letting it run to him the other night was just ludicrous.
It will to an extent divide the dressing room. And Klopp could have nipped it in the bud by benching Salah today.
Instead even the manager appears to have got caught up in the whole Golden Boot scenario.
Its clear his plan was the bench Firmino last weekend, Manè midweek and Salah today but he changed it.
He needs to regain that control asap otherwise it will grow and linger and fester into next season.
Its the sort of thing you’d expect at Chelsea. I’m very surprised it’s been allowed to happen.
I couldn’t agree more! (Why am I agreeing with a Manc? Haha)
Chelsea, Arsenal and United have all seen this problem of players throwing their things out if the pram so like you say I’m surprised it has been allowed happen.
Klopp is usually very good at stopping the egos so I don’t really know why he is letting Salah get away with it. Salah has won golden boot the last two years in a row, has just won 4 medals in the last year and is considered one of the best players in Africa. You would think he’d be more than happy to help his team break records rather than himself.
I do get the whole elite striker mentality and that’s good but only when it doesnt start effecting the overall team performance.
Firmino leaving it for Salah was definitely a joke. If Firmino was more of an out and out striker like Aguero or Tammy. I see him taking that shot. If I was Klopp I’d bench Salah for the next two and only start him again in the last. Might cause more issues with Salah but would send a definite message to the rest of the team that no one player is more important than the whole.
Depends…who’s the alternative?
I wouldnt have any pool players at all for the rest of the season if i had a choice especially based on todays performance.
Yeah I’m planning on selling Mane and Trent after my FH. (Trent might stay but unlikely)
Yeah TAA might stay for me I’m not sure
Yes. Think the issues are a tad exaggerated.
Mahrez, bloody Mahrez. >.<
Should have had a hat trick himself.
How does this first draft FH look? I’ve a lot of money in the bank. I’m thinking Sterling over Mahrez but one of them is bound to be benched next week.
I’d be playing a 3-5-2. Likely with Alderweireld as 1st sub.
Where’s Antonio?
Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
You need to infer.
:big-lol:
He was amazing for me today and I’ll be trying to squeeze him in! Wish we could bring in more midfielders! Hahaha
