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.

Hey Guys
Looking to FH in gw 36. Which GK would you recommend to get in as I have Pope & Patricio and can’t have City,Chelsea or Utd as I will have 3 of them in my squad?
Pope isn’t a bad shout if Wolves are still off the boil then. Otherwise I think Pickford is a decent choice for that week.
Ask me after 35…
Thanks guys,will do.
Hey guys, trying to fill a 4.4m def spot…..any recommendations? Was thinking Fredricks WHU or Stephens SOU
Cheers
If mainly for bench, then Lamptey of Brighton will give you some spare change that might be useful for future moves.
Thanks Chipster. Downgrading Doherty to fit Vardy, so needed it to be a playing def. SOU not doing badly ok fixtures after UTD. Fredricks playing Norwich…just can’t decide :wacko:
Lamptey has started the last few and got an assist recently, so he’s probably as nailed as anyone can be in these times of non-stop GWs and potential rotation. The problem is he plays for Brighton and faces City this week (although kinder fixtures from 36-38). But as an enabler, to afford other squad players, he’s still a decent option I think.
for me it would be taylor for burnley, he is in form and 4.3 so abit of change , maybe not playing this week but decent fixts after that
I already have Taylor in my team Midnight, good shout tho! It is really between Stephens and Fredrick
sorry bud post ya team next time lol, stephens just ahead but tbh I would not have either, soz :good: but then again I am crap picking def and goalies lol
Look at what the cat dragged in! Bloody hell MJ, welcome back :drinks:
how very dare you sir I never left, taken me this long to learn how to reply initt :laugh2:
:rofl:
Stephens I think. Kind of depends on the rest of your team
I’m leading ML by 70 points and can’t decide whether to keep hold of my WC just in case I’m caught. I’ve also got BB which I think I can use in 36 if I do a transfer each week. Am I missing something or should I be using now to get the best possible BB. Going round in circles thinking about it!
Don’t feel insecure. You have a big lead.
70 points you should be fine anyway
:good2:
I’m chasing 80 points in mine and I don’t think I stand any chance so aiming for second
The only way you’ll be caught is if you want to be caught.
1FT and 0.3itb. What should I do?
1. Jimmy to Giroud
2. Son to Pulisic/Antonio/Willian
Cheers the b
I’d go 2
Prob 2 and Pulisic. I don’t think Giroud starts the Norwich game
I guess I’ll bring Vardy in for Kane. I’m not completely convinced. I have nothing in the bank. Kind of want to captain Salah but guess he’s not guaranteed to start. Not sure about Foden on bench but think he might be benched for this one
Spurs don’t look too convincing at the moment Smash, I’d go for Vardy for Kane
Go with your gut Smash. But yeah Kane to Vardy seems to make sense.
May aswell follow everyone else Smasher. Spurs are crap and if Vardy fails so does everyone else.
Yeah I kind of think I might as well.
Our first XI is identical except for GK and I’m making the same move. I captained Kane last week as a calculated risk hoping to catch ML leaders and I’ve already had enough of him lol
I’m in the same boat, will probably bring in Vardy for Kane, no idea who to captain though, Bruno maybe. I’ve made the wrong choice 3 weeks running.
I’m in a similar boat, Smash – I’ve moved Kane to Vardy.
Vardy got 2 goals and an assist in the reverse fixture against BOU earlier in the season – so it bodes well!
Evening everyone,
Should I do Nketiah or Jimenez out for Vardy?
Here is my team, already used FT for Son>Pulisic and 7.5 ITB and plan for BB in GW36
Martinez
AWB, Trent, Aurier
Pulisic, Salah, Fernandes, KDB, Foden
Greenwood, Jimenez
Button, Holgate, Robinson, Nketiah
Or maybe for Ings?
Vardy for Nketiah: I don’t see much point in bringing in Ings away at United
Thanks Smash, think I’d bring Ings in the next GW
Yeah Ings next week certainly makes sense
