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.

Hello everyone – and thankyou for the (dis?) honourable mention Innit! My 15 seconds of fame! Just to reassure you that my -4 pt hit netted me 86 pts (82 net), by simply going for Captain Obvious (Bruno), but could have done much better by keeping the C on Momo
Unfinished message….
Have everything set for this week well before the date and time, so as not to suffer the jibes and ridicule of the FPL community (and to reassure my overworked but undersized brain that ‘it’s alright’!). So there we go! Hope everything is fine in your lives (and fantasy teams’ lives) – I have recently concocted a very cunning, end of year, Baldrick-style plan, which I shall reveal only in the case of success (or at the end if it fails just to make you all laugh, as is my wont!) – luckily it almost involved a 1 week stint by H Kane (vs Bournemouth), but was 0.2 short, so that was indeed a blessing in disguise! It’s obviously neither rocket-science, nor highly original, but hopefully could work. ANyway, good luck to you sports fans, as tomorrow I shall be out and about and won’t have time to put my reputation on the line (at least not on FF247 – maybe in other non-FPL contexts though!).
Cheerio and hasta la vista!
Pleasure. It was a friendly poke in the side and nothing more.
Yeah I know Innit. Don’t take things badly usually. Like to poke fun at myself too quite often!
Hi everyone,
Hope you had a good week, mine was awful, but it’s Friday evening
I got trucked by Kane, he’s awful, and now I’m not happy at all with my team, but I don’t know what to do. 2FTs, 0.2 itb, any idea?
I mean half the comments + the article are about getting Vardy in…
Cull some Wolves? With a fox.
:hippo:
Oh dear Frenchie – ‘firetrucked’ by the Kane Train! Was destined to be an absolute sitter, just having to be in front of the Cherries’ goal-mouth, but nobody counted on Bournemouth turning up, or Spurs apparently not turning up 100%! I feel your pain mon pôte! Parfois c’est de la merde (VDM!), mais parfois c’est génial. Vive la FPL! Sorry folks, just a little compassionate rant in French!
Cheers mate and soldier on!
Thanks for the French references (particularly impressed with VDM
)
Yeah you just expect the music to come on with the TV caption, VDM after an FPL move falls flat! Cheers Frenchie.
Evening all.
What shall I do here? Willing to take a hit
Was going to do jiminez to Vardy
Rashford to greenwood
But Nketiah messed things up :worthy:
You still can?
Yeh could do initt. And deal with Nketiah later.
Unsure what moves to do
Evening all,
Have basically been going backwards since the restart. What do you think to a -4 for Son and Jimenez to Vardy and Willian? Would leave £1.8m for something else between now and the season finish.
Excellent Swirly. It is now or never (almost
).
I’d be ok with that. Captaining Vardy?
Highly tempted, yeah!
Can you avoid a -4 by just doing Rash to Vardy?
Yeah, I could afford that, but I’m really not convinced by Jimenez and Son and I’d be then down to two Man U players
OK last time. A or B?
B this week.
I prefer B but with Salah instead of Mane. I’d get cash from McCarthy to Martinez or Lsmptey for Taylor
This
Anyone know if Lascelles is likely to start this week?
Thanks!
He’s one of the three players to be passed as fit, so it’s just whether he starts or gets eased in, I suppose.
Swirls, I want to play my pathetic BB and can’t see a better week as I have a poor bench and it is unlikely to change. Will need transfers for more important moves.
The two BB players who do play have bad upcoming matches…so hoping for at least 4 points to make up for the hit I took for Vardy this week. What do you think?
Bees, do you not have a WC left to set up a better bench ahead of using BB? The likes of Martin and Guendouzi are just fodder.
No WC Chipster. Hence the need to play it now. Or next week.
This is a terrible idea and one of the worst bench boosts I’ve ever seen. On a -4 so leave it this week. You only have to bring in Martinez and maybe Saka to bench boost. Team is well set up so just bring those two in l, in next few weeks and BB.
I agree with smash m8 leave for now, I had it, week b4 last 29 on bench and this week gone had 21 on bench, pls donate to me god knows what I will have this week :suicide: :suicide:
I agree with Smash here Bees. Don’t BB that. Use your FTs in the next couple of weeks to improve your bench first. Your starting 11 is great and shouldn’t need attention (barring injury or suspension).
