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.

Despite ogling all the City assets I did Rashford to Ings before the deadline! However this allows Connolly to Greenwood next week and to bench Pulisic, then Pulisic to D Silva for GW38.
Solid plan that. Looked at mine I might be primed to bring in a Burnley defender for 38 talk about unexciting
My early thoughts here are Jesus in for Vardy. Any ideas?
If funds aren’t an issue I’d wait till after the cup match on Saturday. Spurs have not been at the best at the back and vardy is 99% starting and play 75+ minutes.
If jesus stats Saturday I’d defo pass. If he doesn’t flip a coin maybe haha
Yeah I’ll wait for sure as funds not an issue unless I want Auba which I think I can still just do
Wow, Smash, I have 7 out of 8 of your attacking players + TAA & Doherty. I am also considering Vardy to Jesus. Once we see how this GW unfolds, I will reassess.
Let’s hope they do well then
My worry with Jesus is he only seems to get ~60 minutes or less. How about Ings?
I’m not sure what to make of Ings I don’t like the next two fixtures. Sheffield United are decent in defence and Bournemouth really need to win that game but he’s going for golden boot
Jesus’ time would worry me but not the worst punt for 37. Could be a placeholder for someone for 38?
Hi all im on WC please rate my team. Thank You. Im planning BB next week
I’m not sure on Antonio because of the United game now. Wolves are at Chelsea last day so think I’d swap one to Burnley defendrr
Smash Antonio to? I was thinking Taylor for Jonny
Maybe Martial and get another defender for WB possibly Digne. It’s quite difficult so see how Everton look
+1 on Martial he loves a home game.
An early tooughts on the following:
Auba and Armstrong in for jimenez and Willian?
I quite like Jimenez fixture this week
True, I need to do something different though, I’m chasing a 50 point lead
Keep Jimi but find a way to get Auba in.
Ok, cheers bud,.
Hi all,
Already did Willian -> Dilva. This looks OK for 37+?
Yeah looks well set to end the season

I think that’s a bit hasty in all honesty.
I think if David Silva plays tonight, he may miss Watford and play home to Norwich on his last ever home match. Add in to that that he may be needed off the bench in the cup match, it’s hard to see him playing most of the four matches with Watford the most likely for him to be rotated.
I’m trying to call Pep here so ignore at your wisdom.
I’ve got no idea on DSilva. Do we believe he’s not first choice now and will be playing with the fringe players. Still think he could miss out tonight and play in cup
There’s that too.
He’s not an automatic first choice no but he’s coming to the end and I’m sure Guardiola will honour him with the home matches getting preference. (I THINK!)
In terms of honouring him he would play in Cup games with the first choice team. There are no fans in the stadiums so it’s kind of different. Unless he’s not in the starting eleven now which is possible
What you say is very possible. I am just taking my chances. Horrible season for me anyway just waiting for the next.
Greenwood’s a doubt
Bad news but not surprising, as that was a horrible tackle. I’ve seen red cards shown for way less tbh but I don’t want to go back to that game and get moody again…
