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.

How’s this for FH team for gwk 36?
You may as well punt on a third City player – David Silva or Foden may be worth a think.
Assume you are playing a 3/5/2?
Yea 3-5-2
Like the Silva shout, bit worried Bournemouth might not roll over as easy as we thought (see Leicester lol)
Who makes way …Willian or Son?
Thx Kralin
On FH, I would do Son -> Dilva.
Who are benching out of your front 8 Bigpopz?
Have WC and BB left! Thinking of WC this week and maybe BB next or last gw, any suggestions for the team as well as use of chips!
Current team !
That’s a very good WC Snookie. I wouldn’t talk you out of it plus you’re getting to the point where time is against you.
Nice looking WC Snookie.
Can you squeeze in Martinez for your BB?
I’d get a 2nd playing keeper in bud
Hello all,
Should I play Taylor over Saiss?
Probably keep it as it is LRL.
Thanks GP.
On a WC. How’s this looking for BB the week after?
Morning Kickers, I’m also on my WC but I think I’m going to BB in 38.
My thinking is that whatever City players you get in 36 will possibly not play in 37, whereas you can use your 2 FTS before 38 moving them around.
Also if you take more than 1 Chelsea (as you have) then you have to BB them away to Liverpool in 37 – not ideal. Whilst Wolves at home in 38 isn’t exactly gold, it is better. Finally, most of the players you have in your team above also have good fixtures in 38, so if anything you can play it by ear to a degree so you don’t feel locked into HAVING to do it in 37!
Good advice Rosco. Does the team look ok overall ? Can’t decide whether to try and stay similar to my rival who I’m leading by 70 points or just go with my gut!
Yes, I think it looks great and well equipped for the final weeks!
Was also debating whether to boost in 37 or 38…. isn’t 38 a risk trying to find 15 players who will actually play? Last game of season is traditionally a chance to play the kids if teams have nothing to fight for.
I think with the introduction of 5 subs this may negate the need for teams to bench their big players, no reason why they can’t play ‘the main guys’ for 60 and then bring on 5 kids/ second string players for a decent runout.
Just thinking azipicueleta or wan Bissaka for WC?
Morning all going to use FH this GW any suggestions changes will be appreciated
Saint -> Pulisic and downgrade a defender for funds?
This
Aurier propably will not play,
Suck it UEFA! Suck it! Suck it! Ohhhhhhhh Yeeeeeaaaahh Baby! :hippo: :hippo: :hippo:
Ban 100% should have stuck.
Hope liverpool sign Neymar, Lewandowski and mbappe. Pay them all triple over the odds F*ck the small clubs and fair play
No Gavy, UEFA had nothing to with this, CAS had the ban overturned, and as far as I know that’s a much more objective court than UEFA’s. At least read an article. If City had bribed UEFA, they would already have had their punishments reduced like PSG and AC Milan did and they would never have been in this situation. Instead they stuck to their case, took it to a higher court and were cleared. Glad to see the rule of law prevail and stick it to a corrupt institution like UEFA.
Nothing to do with been a city fan no??
The broke the rules. Was praying they got nailed to the wall the scum!
