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.

I had sterling and kdb in gw 32. Flipped a coin on which 1 to keep. Since then,
KDB: 11 points
Sterling: 29 points
That coin is in the bin
well, there is Bournemouth to come in a couple of days.
Right who are the best players to have on a free hit? Go please?
What chips you have left? There is still a dgw to come right?
No dgw as far as I’m aware?
There is no DGW. Someone patiently explained it to him the other night.
Thinking the same thing smash. I have this as my first draft but now questioning Sterling as played full 90 today. What do you think?
Chelsea – Azpi, Willian/Pulisic maybe even Giroud.
City – Foden, Jesus & Sterling/KDB.
United – Fernandes, Greenwood
Others- Pope, Ings, Digne, Antonio
That was meant for Smash’s comment :dash:
3 City, 3 Chelsea, 3 United fill in the rest from probably Everton, Southampton and Spurs.
Right with Antonio lads, have sterling to
(Reply to Smash) Richarlison; Ings; the Chelsea players I think you’ve already set your heart on; Vardy probably; Man City tricky but obviously keep KdB; same goes for Salah; think I’m talking myself out of playing the FH…
Bruno is number 1 for me, think hes my captain the next 2 weeks in a row
Pope, KDB, Sterling, Willian, Pulisic, Fernandes.
MUFC: 3 players out of Bruno, Martial, Rashford/Greenwood, AWB/Maguire.
Chelsea: 3 players – probably Pulisic, Willian, Azpi.
MC: pretty much anyone, as long as you can figure out Pep roulette.
WHU: Antonio.
Everton: Richarlison, Digne/Holgate.
Leicester: Vardy.
Southampton: Ings, McCarthy.
Now I’m debating whether I should use it now or GW38 where United have a tough away game
I’m not going to make a final decision (about playing it) until we hear about City.
At the moment I’m about 55/45 on playing it in 38.
I like both teams Smash. FH just doesnt seem to be the most enticing chip. I’m not even sure if I will use my FH chip. Feels like I’m using it for the sake of it. How do you feel not going with Chelsea though or how will you bring them in for the Norwich game?
I’m almost inclined to have it up my sleeve for defensive ML purposes.
I won’t be winning any of my MLs but that could be a good option mate!
Yeah that’s the thing I’d be using it for triple Chelsea and a couple of Everton players. I can bring in another City player anyway. I mean we ain’t great but it is Norwich and I doubt I’d have coverage otherwise
Yeah I’d be the same actually! Right now I am thinking Mane and Holgate out to Azpi and Pulisic. That will give me no Everton though but I’m not too pushed about that.
The lure is Chelsea versus Norwich, isn’t it? Will it be an annihilation or will he start pulling players off pretty quickly once the job is done? It could easily be 3-0 at half-time.
I may do my usual slow move and just bring a Chelsea player in and leave it there. Final two fixtures not great though.
Yeah I mean there are no guarantees at all Chelsea keep a clean sheet. Presume Jorginho is on pens so that leaves Pulisic
I like the thought of KdB, Sterling and either Foden – or their goalie – for GW38.
But I quite fancy Everton for some reason in 36. If I FH this week I’ll play Ederson in goal I think.
Sorry Kralin, but I can’t let your double double entendre about “pulling players off” quickly when the “job is done” go un-emojied :hippo:
rumbled
Reading through some of the Chelsea twitter is one of the funniest things for a long time. Some fantastic comments and loads of great GIFS…
Well worst case is they could lose out on the CL after completely muffing it up today. I daresay those images are at the more polite end of the spectrum.
Yeah it’s as funny as Man United’s fall after Ferguson left which they are only just showing signs of recovery
:big-lol:
I can envision that manager of the week with OR around 4M having Antonio, Sterling, Jesus, Deeney, McGoldrick, Bilva, Fredericks, etc and using their TC :laugh2:
We’ve reached that complex end of the season where nobody really knows what’s happening.
Events seem oblique to the real world.
With a cool -32 as well
12 from 6, roll on tomorrow!
