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 does this FH team look? I’d probably bench Greenwood 1st which could backfire.
Looks decent I like it
It’s groovy. I can’t decide between Giroud and Willian but if I go with the latter my side will look a bit like yours (apart from the defence – mine looks like some rogue physics has strayed in and started wandering around).
Manu
Southampton
FH active – Please rate My team.
Decisions to be made:
Sterling or Dilva (thinking about peptation)
Pickford, DDG or Kepa
Willian or Alonso for 3rd Chelsea spot
More than happy for suggestions
The squad looks great, but think about who you’re benching and try not to waste too much money there. Just one or maybe two cheap players to come on if required. For a FH you should maximise funds on the starting 11.
Top class team⚽ Keane – >WanBissaka(bonus points magnes) DDG – >Picford? Frederics to 3.9m deffender for money
Cheers guys. Tbh my transfer value is pretty good and could easier afford the players I wanted. If I downgraded my subs like Wham players, I wouldn’t know how to reinvest that money anyway?
OK, that’s a great position to be in :good:
Best of luck 🙂
I prefer Sterling over DSilva I think. I think Sterling could do more in 20 mins than D Silva in 90 potentially
thing is Smash, will Sterling actually play. Could he be rested?
No one knows that but he’s very unlikely to sit it out completely. He has been rested recently
I have sterling at the moment. Just worrying about him being rested because of the FA Cup. I really want to nail this week as my last few have been pants
This is my current saved team.
Even if he misses out completely you have Greenwood
Could easily be KDB he’s the most important player
suppose that the risk with pep-rotation.
thats the thing, making sure you have a decent bench, just in case
FH is active… How do you like this one? Or don’t like this one?
I like it. Quite refreshing to see a FH team with no CHE mids in it.
A perfect FH bench there too – bare minimum of expenditure, but playing assets who can be called upon if required :good:
Thanks mate! I might keep it as it is then!
Hoping for a Bruno haul tonight! One of my rivals had sterling as capo!
What is everyone’s plans with city coverage for GW36+? Would love to get in sterling but worried that pep could rest him in advance of the FA semi?
This is currently my team.
I would consider playing Greenwood over Jimenez there.
Oh, and on your City question, I currently have KDB, Mahrez and Jesus but am considering using FH and bringing in Foden and Sterling for KDB and Mahrez as I feel it may be their turn for a rest. I’m hoping Pep plays Sterling so he has a shot at the Golden Boot.
Thanks chipster
I think I’m doing Vardy -> Jesus to make a trio including KDB and Foden.*
I, too, think that Pep’ll rest Sterling or at least two of the big guns. He’s got a great squad, now’s the time where the Peptation will go into overdrive!
*That’s the plan unless something goes completely FUBAR tonight.
I don’t think he will be rested completely he ain’t played much. Might want to keep the scoring momentum going
Interesting smash!
I might go with sterling – also thinking jimi to ings or vardy to Jesus – good idea?
Yeah think those two are better moves potentially
Hey everyone,
Seen a lot of FH teams floating about and it’s got me thinking.
I often think of using the FH chip when my teams sucks for the week… e.g. players playing against each other or tough fixtures. That would naturally lend itself to playing in GW38 (Chelsea vs Wolves, Man U vs Leicester and can load up on Liverpool and Man City).
However, seeing people use it for GW36 has got me intrigued. I don’t think my team looks too bad for Gw36 and was thinking of Vardy to Ings but maybe there’s more upside if I target this nice fixtures even more so?
