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.

On a FH, this is me at the moment. May lose Wan Bis after tonights performance.
Personally I’d have KdB or Sterling in for Salah. Otherwise seems fine to me.
He already has 3 City though…
Yes: one will have to make way, Jesus perhaps.
Looks decent enough for me. Doherty 3rd sub at that price stands out
OK draft 1, quite like the firepower. Doubt I’ll have the nerve to drop Bruno (who won’t be captain, haven’t decided on that yet).
Can’t work out defender 3, but Wolves not the worst of shouts. Thoughts welcome, have I missed something obvious?:
Re: defence, I’m thinking Digne or someone from SOT perhaps, as both have nice home fixtures (on paper at least).
Thanks – not bad ideas.
The defence is the area of the side that troubles me the most, absurdly.
I would play Foden but simply can’t risk Sterling going mental again.
That’s a nice looking side! Presuming you have already used your bench boost, I can’t think of any improvements.
Thank you, theswirly. Yes, BB long gone and this seemed the best week for me to play FH.
Very strong there I like it
Cheers Smash. Think I’ll park it now and worry about the captain.
Decent looking FH side Kralin. My concern is whether KDB plays. I have him in my team too.
Do you feel positive about Giroud starting too?
Please rate my team below
I have 2.8 in the bank with no FT
I suggest to get Digne instead of Lascelles or van dijk or ward or save this -4 and save bench boost
Also what about captain
I wouldn’t take a hit for a defender, if I’m honest. Regarding your bench boost, I’d just check what transfers you could do between now and the end of the season and therefore if it’s better to do bench boost in one of the other last remaining gameweeks. If not, go for it!
Ok bro what do u suggest the remaining transfers for me till end of season??
Also whom to bench play van dijk and arnold or what
What’s the magic word, khaledhesham?
Khaled
I would play VVD ahead of Taylor and leave the rest with no further transfers.
Need to wait and see how this week goes before we think about future transfers.
Thoughts on switching Salah out for Sterling for this GW?
BB is activated.
Yes seems fine. I do hope Sterling starts.
In the space of 7 days city are going to play 3 games. Sterling gave a full 90 minutes last time out. At a guess I don’t seem him starting and will only be sent on if need.
If I was pep I’d want him fully fit for Saturday. (See him bag another hatty now)
Sterling is the player in my FH side who worries me the most (in owning and not owning).
Foden seems a more certain bet but is a less exciting bet. The money it unlocks (Sterling to Foden) doesn’t fundamentally alter my side.
Look at the mins before that last game on Sterling though he’s had a fair amount of a break recently
I am going in with just kdb and sterling. Debating if jesus is worth a -4 from vardy…
Hes still after the golden boot and Leicesters next 3 are all wins :wacko:
Their gw38 vs manu could be a huge game
True smash, trying to guess Peps plan would make the most sane people loss it… just cant see sterling not been 1st on the list for the FA cup, in saying that hes young and fit enough to play both.. who knows
Could always do Vardy to Jesus?
Looks like I am going to finish on 74/75 all in. Loads went right for me so delighted with this. Anyone else with good scores?
No, not for me. Things unravelling pretty fast.
But very well done yourself, that is a terrific score.
Cheers kralin, you have plenty of big hitters in you team, just unlucky. You going to stick or twist on Salah?
You win some, you lose some.
I’ve moved him (Salah) out for the FH but will probably captain him versus Chelsea. Then will move him out again for Sterling in GW38.
72 Gavy.
42 was Sterling but that doesn’t show on the record books. 😎
Class going, you going to roll the captain?
As they say in golf “a scorecard has no pictures”
Never heard that but I like it
Sterling again? Loyalty?
Maybe :wink2:
58, could be worse!
Think you’ll be above the average with that. As you said not bad
Who has a better chance for a CS, Pope or McCarthy :scratch_one-s_head:
I am going with pope, but that’s just for the save points. Henderson my 2nd keeper
Makes sense Gavy. Most likely both will end up without, Brighton always find a goal to spoil the party.
@Ivan
Soton have looked pretty solid at the back against both Manchester clubs. I would be tempted to put McCarthy in between the sticks.
Cheers Horse, that’s what I thought too and most likely it will be him.
