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.

FPL FIXTURE TRACKER
FIXTURE TRACKER LINK
Hi all, this is my squad for next week and will be playing BB. Is it mad to drop Salah to Sterling!? Or Vardy to Jesus?
If I weren’t free hitting I’d be doing Vardy to Jesus
I have enough to switch. Worried about not having sterling but can’t have them all
I’d wait and find out more about Digne and Aurier first. If it’s all good then go for one of the aforementioned transfers.
+1 Vardy to Jesus Aurier will not play for family reason
I’m not sure we will find out on Digne as they play thurs
Oh, that’s pretty bad for me as well, cause I have Holgate in my BB team…Yikes
Why what’s happened with digne?
Bigperm1980, I am way too lazy to rewrite it :laugh2:
Hi guys,
Do you think I should FH this week or wait for GW 38. I have 2ft.
The fact Aurier prob won’t play and like you I did not have any Chelsea players made me activate it
FH Auba, Kane, Foden not great for this week plus Aurier propably will not play his brother pass away r.i.p
You don’t need to but it has to be used at some point…if you decide to FH in GW38 then maybe Auba & Aurier to Jesus & Azpi
Thanks all,
I I decided to use the 2ft and a hit this GW and use the FH on GM 38, for now.
Team,
Can you please advise how my FH Team looks. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. past couple of weeks have been poor for me in my ML where i had to drop to 3rd and leader is ahead by 30 points. I still have my Triple Captain chip which i intend to use GW38.
which of the below is better
A- Pope/Maguire
B-Pickford/Diop or westham defender
or any other suggestion ?
A
HI whats about VVD to Digne for one week punt?
Please rate my FH team, some players price go up today
I guess Martinez is there due to lack of funds. I don’t want to repeat myself but Digne might be slightly doubtful as he had a cramp/knock at the end of Everton’s last game. Maybe downgrade Digne and get a keeper with better fixture.
I quite like this but is relying on potential early Chelsea team news. It’s a free hit team
Looks great
Not sure Alonso gets his place back though. Kind of depends how Martial gets on tonight.
I like the punt! My team is looking pretty similar to this and had thought about taking a punt on Alonso. Especially after the awful display at SHU, Lamps might mix it up.
Or if Alonso don’t make it maybe this. Means I can keep Martial
