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.

Team,
with past 3 weeks yielding poor returns. I dropped to 3rd position from 1st. Can you please advise on the below FH Team. planning to play 3-5-2. please advise.
should i change VVD and Martinez to someone else ? please sugges
St1cky, I am not sure if you should tbh. But if you are decided to do so – what about Martinez to McCarthy/DDG and VVD to Doherty/EVE def/MUFC def.
Or, if you don’t want to drop
VVD you could do Mousset to Connolly and Robinson to 3.9 bench fodder and then Martinez to McCarthy if my maths is correct.
Hi Tornado,
Thanks for your inputs. How about Wan-Bissaka/Martinez – Pickford/Diop ?
Could work. Although, AWB is not a bad pick this week
I’ve activated the free hit. I should have done it last night which is annoying as lost 0.2 on Willian and Sterling going up which likely means Pickford in goal instead of De Gea
I wont touch pickford…. pope maybe? Will have plenty of save points and could keep th cs
He has Villa at home who rarely look like scoring. Pope yeah maybe but it is Wolves who you would expect to win
What does your FH team look like?
On a free hit Wan Bissaka or Digne? I’d likely have Pickford in goal
I wont waste a manu pick on wanb. I’d have Greenwood, Bruno and Martial or rashford.
Can you send a draft and if any spare funds?
This but it’s Pickford instead of De Gea as lost 0.2 on rises. Might gain 0.1 tbf though if Martial goes up tonight
It’s a free hit so not really wasting spots as Chelsea and City have the stand out fixtures
Smash, can’t you squeeze the £0.2m you’re short by downgrading whoever you plan to bench from your front 8? Seems quite unlikely you’ll need the bench anyway, so no point spending any more on it than the bare minimum – especially if it enables your ideal playing 11.
Or downgrade Trent to VVD for one week. Something like that, so you can still afford whatever other starting players you had before the price rises seemingly scuppered your plan.
DDG -> Pope
I took a chance on Dinge last week and not that thrilled with it so far but you never know, a few different routes to points at least and ok fixtures.
Yeah with rotation I’d be more comfortable with Greenwood as first sub if one of the big hitters don’t show. Is Digne worth it I’m not sure though he came close to scoring, though Pope might get save points anyway. I could do Giroud and Martial instead of Willian and Ings as well
Smash, keep an eye on Digne. He had a little knock/cramp during Everton’s last game. He asked to be substituted but all 5 subs have been done and he only finished the game, so they won’t be man down. Also, he played the majority of the game as a LCB rather than LB/LWB, as a part of a new formation. Mina got injured, so he might play LCB again, especially if Holgate is not fit as well.
Pickford made a handful of errors and really tried hard to make even a bigger fool out of himself.
Maybe Pickford to McCarthy? Also, monitor Digne’s situation.
Love that midfield would you be tempted to change ings to Giroud. Then azp to westham player maybe.
Will fund choice of keeper then
YeH the cramp or injury is a concern he might not be worth the risk then. Might just take Wan Bissaka instead
Who do people think gets more points til the end of the season?
A. Antoino
B. Ings
B
B
50/50
Debating whether to FH this week or not. It comes down to which combo is best:
A: Sterling/Pulisic/Maguire
B: Mahrez/Martial/Doherty
What do people think?
The rest of the squad is
Patricio
Azpi, Digne
Bruno, KDB, Willian
Kane, Jesus
Subs Greenwood and fodder.
A for me. I do admire your patience with Kane but I don’t know if it’s worth it…especially on FH
A I certainly would not bother with Kane
Kane to Ings, Sterling maguire, u have Wilian for Chelsea cover
I’m looking at a 2 week plan and need advice on which option you would go with. My plan is to use 2 FT this week and then the transfer next week to be used on Auba, hence the strategy in terms of a cheaper 2nd player.
Option A:
This GW: Jesus + Dendoncker – Next GW: Auba
Option B:
This GW: Ings + Foden (Would of been Ings & Antonio but I am 0.1 short!!) – Next GW: Auba
As a side note I do also have Aurier in my team which now obviously is a worry as my bench includes 75% fit Holgate, Lundstram and a suspended player.
Basically would you go Jesus & Dendocker or Ings & Foden and what would you do about the Aurier situation?
Ings & Foden. Aurier really don’t know, I guess the Lord might get some minutes but most likely a 1 pointer.
I have Holgate in my team, and he was supposed to be fine by now. Apparently, he failed a fitness test before their last game, so I still hope he’ll be okay for Villa.
Any particular reason as to why Ings & Foden over Jesus & Dendocker?
I think both Foden and Jesus will be rotated. Yes, Jesus will probably play more minutes but still not full 90 every game wheres Ings will most likely play and have nice looking fixtures ahead. Foden could have and should have scored at least two goals last time he started. I expect him to do well. That’s my opinion.
