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.

Any argument for keeping Kane?
I brought Kane in last week thinking he’d bring the points home, he is facing an Arsenal side that do concede and its a NLD… not sure but I think he’s scored in the last few meetings.
I’m still thinking about bringing in Vardy though.
Struggling to think of any other than I’m selling
I just checked he’s scored 1 goal in all 4 previous meetings with Arsenal, home or away doesn’t seem to matter.
He likes to score in London and he’s on pens – that’s about it.
Far more negatives at the mo (he burnt me last week too!):
– team in poor form.
– no shots in the last game.
– managed by Jose.
– playing a more in-form Arsenal.
– super-expensive for someone who’s a bit of a punt at the mo.
I’m keeping him as had him since my WC a few GWs back and a potential differential is the only hope I have of succeeding in my MLs. No point in me following the herd as we’ll all rise or fall together with the same players.
Kane’s fixtures are good, he’s rarely rested and is on pens. However, his recent form isn’t great and Spurs as a team are struggling, so I get why people are shipping him out en masse.
The classic question – Pulisic or Wilian?!
Willian seems to have turned into Ronaldinho in recent weeks playing for that new contract. Still think Pulisic gets into much better positions though
Willian
Willian – he’s on pens and free kicks.
Get both.
I got Willian on my WC a few GWs back and it’s probably the best decision I’ve made all season. At that time he was a differential and I’ve pocketed 44 points in 4 GWs, including 10BPs. I agree with Smash that Pulisic seems the more dangerous on pitch, yet somehow Willian is scooping more points than him, mainly from set pieces and pens. I’m not sure how much longer it can last, but I pray that it does 😀
They are both great picks and both likely to keep doing well. It’s probably a coin toss.
Ok so I feel like it’s probably time to place my WC with BB in 36. Done a couple of drafts, preference for either one?
Tbf it’s basically Azpi & Willian/Pulisic or Martial & Saiss?
Chelsea have Norwich at home in 36 so feel like I need some cover, could just do one of the Chelsea mids for Martial in the top team, but then I’m also reluctant to let Martial go..
Azpi and Willian :good: .
This
+1, although you could still keep Martial by downgrading TAA to someone like Lamptey (good fixture for your BB next week) and upgrading Foden (whose gametime seems less secure than Martial).
Thanks guys, fell asleep before checking again. Hopefully not scuppered by price changes!
Got rid of Jimenez to bring in Vardy! Have no FT’s and 0.3 ITB. Was going to get Greenwood for Martinelli but slept on it and his price rose and can’t afford him now. Is there any moves I should make for a hit?
Suppose Kane to Greenwood is the sounding alarm here.
+1, you’ll be rolling dosh doing Kane -> Greenwood. Plenty of money to stock up on Chelsea for the Norwich game in GW36+ (if you fancy that option).
Much like a few people I’m in the Kane v Vardy boat. Was not impressed with him last gameweek at all. Has he lost his pace or something, really does not seem to be the player he was or is it the Mourinho effect.
I believe it”s a Spurs problem to be honest. They looked generally poor on Wednesday and that’s after another poor one I saw them in against Sheffield United.
Evening all,long time no see !
My Fpl team is doing nearly as bad as my Football team !
Any ideas for transfers ? I have 2 F T’s 0.1m itb and a FH available.
I’m considering Maguire,Dcl,Jiminez out for a 5.2m or below defender,Greenwood and Vardy ? Will then either cappo Vardy or Bruno.Thoughts ?
T.i.a
What about Martial and DCL out for Willian and Greenwood? No hits.
I’ve considered removing nearly every player in my team apart from Bruno to fund moves !
Martial has 40 odd points in his last 3 home games so would like to hold him but thanks for the idea.
Lost to Luton tonight I see mate. Slipping badly.
I like the sound of those moves Brooky :good:
Cheers GP.
Absolutely awful performance in a must win game !
Sounds good. After this week Stephens (SOU) may be a good Def.
Cheers Bees,i was considering Taylor or Aurier ?
How about DCL and Maguire out for Greenwood and Digne/Azpi with no hit?
