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.

Morning all. Ended up with 46 points :dash:
What you think should do here?
You might be a bit light on City. Maybe Vardy to Jesus
Could do smash
Hi
What are your thoughts on Salah out and Sterling in?
Thanks x
I like it Carolyn. Sterling has the better fixtures, but Salah is more gametime secure. That’s the trade-off.
Salah looks very determined to score more goals, in-fact he is borderline selfish. He blanked this GW but had a dozen chances.
Sterling has the better fixtures but very hard to predict when he’s going to be on the pitch. He looks hungry though.
What I am saying is, both will bring big points but who’s going to score more – I have no idea.
Not very helpful but this is whah I think. :scratch_one-s_head:
That’s what I was thinking
Dunno if it will help but here is the rest of my team for a viewing
Do it. U already have 6 big hitters up front :biggun:
Who the hell to captain?
I am between kdb or Bruno.
I’m between Pulisic, Bruno, Sterling, KDB and Jesus so I have no idea basically
I am between KDB, Bruno, Foden, Pulisic, Martial. Long story short – no idea as well :laugh2:
Well I’ve ruled out Martial for no real apparent reason only that he does better at home
He is so frustrating to watch tbh. He goes from a genius player to Championship level player in seconds…however, Palace looked horrible at the back lately, so it is tempting.
Isn’t Kdb at a risk of being on the bench?, With Arsenal coming up 3 day’s later in the semi final
Guys anything need doing here? On BB, last time I swear.
Looks good to go
Cheers Smash, now who to captain, Willian or Jesus I think.
Any ideas what to do here? Thinking between:
A) vvd/saka to Bertrand(or someone else 5.1m or less) and Willian
B) vvd/jiminez to digne and Jesus/vardy
B is maybe more attacking but if I wemt with Jesus I’d be worried about not all 3 city players starting and the relying on saka to start.
Any thoughts or alternatives?
With 5 subs available to Pep, I’d be surprised if any of the main attacking City boys get a total blank this GW (i.e. so it’s unlikely Saka would have to come off your bench). I wouldn’t let that concern stop me from getting a third City player in, so I would either do the Jesus move, or consider Saka to Foden and bench Jimenez.
Are you going to activate your BB chip? If not, who the hell are you going to bench if you do these transfers? :wacko:
Already used my bench boost. If I did a I’d prob be benching Taylor Egan and dcl
In this case, I prefer A out of these two options.
Or as Chipster suggested Saka to Foden. And play 3-5-2 with the same subs you listed.
And my third and final idea is to bring the handsome one and get rid of DCL and play 3-4-3.
Promise for the last time! On a WC with BB still to use. Does this look good to go or should I be changing something? Cheers
Should I be getting martial in instead of Foden. Would mean a cheaper defender
Watching Palace on Sunday and Martial last night, I’d be getting Martial in. What’s the defensive sacrifice?
Prob TAA down grade to 5.2 mil defender or azi and Stevens to 2 cheaper
Would you consider TAA to Boly?
Could do this? But mindful of BB
Or should it be TAA
Try it with Trent out.
Without TAA
So question is keep TAA or keep Azpuelekuketa
