Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 36+
GW36+ Deadline; Tuesday 14th July 7.15pm GMT
These game-weeks are turning up more often than a Trump gaffe but unlike the illustrious leader we have your best interests at heart.
So take note of this week’s deadline…. 7.15pm on TUESDAY. We had FF247’s very own Rosco joining Raz’s ‘Forgot the deadline club’ in GW35+ so be warned it can happen to the best (or sleepiest) of us.
GW36+ is a 4-day Tuesday-Friday game-week starting in West London and ending with a Friday night knees up in the East End.
Loads of opportunities for big hauls with Chelsea hosting Norwich, City toying with the Cherries (but who will Pep rest?), Everton having a pop at that Villa defence, the United scoring tour stopping off at Palace, Ings looking to do a Raheem to the Brighton defence and Antonio owners praying for a déjà vu.
As always we shall endeavour to post the line-ups prior to each phase of the relevant GW and our usual FPL Countdown Timer (to be found above the latest comments section) is once again 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.
FF247 SITE TEAM GW36+
Our GW35+ Result…
Saturday started off well with our new acquisition Cresswell getting a clean sheet. Unfortunately things went downhill from there! Foster inevitably conceded and then TAA was benched. Salah, KDB and Pulisic may as well as have been too for all they did. 17 points from 6 was looking a far way from our 114 heroics only a few days ago.
Our Sunday interest was limited to our other new acquisition Vardy. He duly delivered too, with a goal in a 4-1 hammering. Unfortunately it was the wrong way round, so much for chasing Bournemouth!
Monday saw us out with our treble Man Utd coverage and Ings. For the most part they had the same luck as the rest of the team. Ings, Greenwood and Wan-Bi combined for 4 points. Bruno at least got an assist and since he was our captain that gave us 10, not great, but compared to most of his mates, it was freaking awesome. This left us with a final tally of 38. :slaphead:
This bad GW led us to dropping 16,724 places and left us in 50,146th place in the overall rankings.
GW36+ TRANSFER
We have sold KDB and bought David Silva.
The transfer decision this week was painful, drawn out and not really concluded in an satisfactory manner, but this is what makes it fun and never boring. This week’s matches come just before the FA Cup semi-finals and as such we were led by Pep’s comments that he will make 5/6 changes to the midweek starting XI at home to Bournemouth. Cue the clamour to get in David Silva who has been in such sparkling form when he plays, but of course can’t play three games in a week. Home matches vs Bournemouth and Norwich seem the perfect opportunity to end his City career in a blaze of glory. Fair. But then from behind the curtain came the cry, ‘Vardy to Giroud’ as Chelsea host the hapless Norwich. It was an incessant cry that droned on and on before the committee could hear no more. ‘FCK GIROUD’. Which is a bit bizarre given this site’s infatuation with l’Adonis.
Onto the transfer decision and if we got Silva, who would go? Salah and KDB were mooted. ‘Vardy to Giroud’ echoed round the chambers. Again. And again. Foden to Silva? Couldn’t afford that. Unless we errrrm sold Vardy for… Giroud. However as you know this committee hates hits. Well 60% of them do. In the end our Giroud lover sulked off never to be seen again (for now) and he left with the strop, ‘I won’t be around tomorrow to write or publish. Do what you like, nobheads.’
Finally we plumped to sell KDB. It’s not a move we would have made if there was more of the season left and who’s to say we won’t yet buy him back for GW38? But for now Pep’s priority is the Cup semi-final so we are going with the belief that KDB will see reduced (hopefully zero) minutes vs Bournemouth and likewise at Watford just 72 hours later.
Cue the KDB masterclass. And Giroud hatty no doubt.
Our only issue then was whether to bench Greenwood or Vardy. Greenwood got the call up, given he plays vs Palace who look like they lost interest months ago.
GW36+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW36+ will be David Silva.
It wasn’t enough to be KdB’s replacement. No sir. The committee have gone all maverick and captained Silva. It could be gold! Let’s hope so. Just in case we’ve called Pep-tation all wrong, Bruno is our vice-captain.

Try again Vardy to Jesus good move are not have to do it tonight :dash:
I am planning on keeping vardy bar an injury if that helps
City rotation is always a concern. Vardy will start for sure barring any injuries.
yes vardy with tougher fixtures. i would get jesus. auba or ings other good options for last 2 weeks
Silvers. I’d get Jesus. But depends on what other players you’ve got..
Yeah think that might be my transfer this week
This forum is helpful but find it quite frustrating when you ask for help a few times and get no answers yet when one of the regulars asks for help they get loads of answers.
Where are you in the world Danny ?
Politeness is a great virtue. :yes:
Don’t take it personally. I think everybody has experienced this at some point. Sometimes posts ‘bottom out’ and get missed, or the timing is just off to catch those who are logged on and likely to respond.
The best thing to do is either repost, or post asking for comments on post number xxx. It’s such a great community, not just for regulars, so I’m sure nobody is being overlooked on purpose.
I’ll second this, you have to realize that with the deadlines coming thick and fast there are a lot of comments and we’re all trying to sort our own teams too. Sometime we’ll jump on and go through the last page or two but when posts are made when a lot of us are still technically at work it’s hard to dedicate the time to scroll back many pages so there is no harm in reposting if you haven’t been answered. Maybe link your team too, the old adage of ‘if you can’t beat em join em’ I’m not suggesting that regulars do get special treatment but at the same time there is no harm in becoming a said regular! Out of interest, what was the post that got missed?
I wouldn’t give up, Danny – we’re happy to help but unfortunately sometimes some posts slip through the net. We’ll chip when we can
. Having a good GW so far?
I’m sorry we weren’t more helpful Danny, I was in my own little world of WC hell, we all try to help when and where we can buy sometimes some posts slip through the net
Sorry I try and answer as many as I can. Some do get missed though when it’s busy
Hi danny, thanks for the feedback and apologies if you somehow got missed. I know a few of us usually check back over previous questions / pages to try and ensure nobody is left out but as Rosco said it’s also difficult when it’s a work day and even more so when they are piling up at the front end.
That said I checked the previous 24 pages on this one and did find 3 or 4 which had slipped through but also a couple of those were reposted and answered. Couldn’t see one from yourself though so perhaps it was on a previous article or maybe you used a different pseudonym as some do.
Willian captain fail. Again. Hahaha. Tough season this.
me too. i never had him.got him on free hit and foolishly c him instead of sterling or bruno or anyone else. i would have been happy c alonso also
Don’t be too angry. Willian wasn’t a foolish pick at all, based on recent form and the calibre of the opposition. OK, it didn’t work out, but that’s just down to luck more than any bad decision making on your part.
Now if you’d captained a Norwich defender for example, then perhaps I’d let you beat yourself up 😀
Unlucky, constantine – I think most of us expected a goal-fest tonight, but we didn’t get it, annoyingly. The smart money was on Willian over probably any other CHE player. But definitely agree about the tricky season – it’s certainly very up and down!!
Agree Loud. I am just waiting for this season to finish. Hope next one will bring some luck back.
New season fresh start! I think we’re all looking forward to that on many levels!
Yupp Rosco. Some really bad decisions and VAR upto some extent have taken it down for me. And Of course bad luck.
Smash, our Chelski supporter, pointed out that Will.i.an was very poor in the last game v Sheff Utd. That was enough for me to get Pulisic instead. Would never have put the armband on Will.i.an if i had him.
Jeez Elle kick a man when he’s down
Just take note from Smash, thats all i’m saying. Connies sound, he’ll bounce back i’m sure.
Bad luck Constance. And join the club post-lockdown. I’ve had a truly horrific run of captain picks.
My ML is as spicy as they get! I have a 30 point lead but the 2nd & 3rd are 7 points apart. My main rival is using his FH, I am using my BB, so this will be a huge week for both of us! He’s gone for Sterling as C and I don’t even own him. This is my last chip wheres he’s got TC still available. It will go down to the wire and I am absolutely loving it :butcher:
What would your strategy be? :help:
Good luck mate, keep us informed how its going.
Cheers Elle! Will do
If in the lead and you’re not too bothered about OR then just make sure you own the same dangerous players that number 2 has – e.g. think about Sterling. So basically they can’t out-point you.
If he’s got any sense he’ll TC Sterling in the final GW.
Cheers, Kralin! Yeah, that’s a good point! I can’t be sure but I think he is planning to use his TC on Sterling against Norwich in GW38. I have two options here: trust my gut and go with whoever I think will play well, or roll an FT now and get Sterling and C him in GW38. Will see how this GW goes and then reassess and probably ask for advice again
Mine would be alright but the leader is 100 points ahead of me and I’m second. The other spots are quite close
Seeing everyone has captained Bruno or Jesus, feels my Salah pick as C may backfire big time :close_tema:
I doubt it. I think it’s a pretty good choice given the distractions elsewhere (and the distracted state Arsenal may be in). Salah is pretty reliable.
Well I have Sterling randomly enough he might not even get many mins. I was swapping captain around a fair bit
Anyone starting to sweat slightly about the City line-up?
Best of luck all later, it’s going to be fun.
Yep but not a lot I can do about it now
With 5 subs most will get some minutes. They have tended to spread the points around of late also, although Sterling has had some larger hauls, so it may not matter too much. Although with only KDB I kind of hope a lot squad players get there chance.
