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.

Liverpool CS gone. Lacazette
Fuck sake liverpool
Terrible – how they are losing this is beyond me. Arsenal looked beat after 10 mins
I have a distinct feeling Liverpool’s hearts aren’t really in it. Can’t imagine why.
Look its understandable the same intensity isnt there. Its the worry that there wont be some investment (which I always think is needed) and they will be a scalp next season
We’ll wait and see re investment. Klopp has been distracting us a bit with talk of the academy, etc.
Sometimes we loose sight of what revenues these clubs make. Circa 500m I think with around 40-50m profit. Its good , dont get me wrong, its just not exceptional.
I’d imagine a player bought is “written off” over the term of his contract.
With the growth in wages, and Covid, nothing major I would think given they dropped out of Werner deal
You’re probably right. I have no idea at all who’s even been linked with a move. We may have been looking more closely had things been normal and AFCON looming. But with that (presumably) not happening then the heat may be off.
Like Lovren, maybe.
Liverpool concede second. Being too sloppy right now
Making shipping robbo an easier move
Robertson playing well of late. Wud not be shipping
A goal and assist in the last two is class alright. Its just we dont look good at the back and all and Chelsea next
They are very poor at the back. Just not seeing other “banker” clean sheets. Ive Trent – not in the game at all
I sold Kane for Ings – might still be OK.
Sterling to David Silva was on my mind all week but turned against that. That one smarts.
Thats rough. I debated Silva. Lots of twitter talk on him but wasnt sure on gametime. Went Saka to Foden. That wasnt a great choice either
Views on whether Greenwood plays? If he does, I wont get Ritchies 9 which are badly needed
I’ve got him first sub so he’s coming on for KDB so obviously I hope he does but I don’t think they’ll take any risks with him. It was a cracker right on the ankle.
I’m not hopeful
99% he won’t play
I doubt he starts
Starts v plays are two different things Smash
He won’t start and he won’t play. The bubble has burst.
I had a peer into my crystal ball – a bit cloudy but I saw some green drifting around in the aether, mixed in with some blues – make of that what you will, TheDreamers. There may be a return.
FFS Trent. Zero points now
Very annoying as I dumped him weeks ago on my WC, but brought him back on FH this week as a punt.
The FH this week is looking more and more like a trap
Chin up Chips. Plenty of life left in the GW.
I debated this week versus 38 and concluded 38 was an even bigger trap.
Very hard to get a break with the season petering out and no DGW to take the pain away.
Couldn’t agree more with that last sentence Kralin.
This is the season that just won’t quit!
Just 11 more days and it can be consigned to the darkest corner of history. :focus:
It’s been an eternal fantasy season. I remember 19/20 opened really early last summer.
Thanks Kralin. The saving grace is that I kept Kane in my team despite all advice to ship him out. I’m annoyed I didn’t stay with him as captain though.
Good move, Chips. Always best to do your own thing, man.
Lfc are on the beach.Done the biz and going through the motions. Can’t blame them.
My surprise is that people are surprised.
Winning is a habit though. Can’t be doing much for the confidence going into next season when playing the best team
