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.

How are you doing so far? I am having a shocker – 28 points from 8 players with two zeros and 1 more to come (Greenwood) :explode:
11 mate. 11
Femenia/Martial (C)/ Fernandes/Vardy/Ings/ Greenwood or Ritchie to go
Ouch! With Ritchie you go up to 20 and I hope that MUFC boys will deliver for you and me both. Good luck!
37 from 8 – McCarthy, Cresswell and Fernandes to go. Cap Sterling well and truly burnt me!
You and many more, Pep is an evil mastermind…
Good luck with the rest!
29 with Fernandes, Martial, De Gea, Digne and Connolly to go on a free hit so not good
This season is so twisted that we cannot even rely on our chips…how I miss DGWs…good luck with the rest of your team, Smash!
Once BPs are added I’ll be on 43 from 8, with McCarthy, Digne and Fernandes to come.
Well, judging by everyone else’s scores you are doing pretty well, Chipster haha
Keep it up (or in the context of this miserable GW, keep it above the average)
33 from 8
I guess it’s bad for most of us..good luck with your remaining players
26 from 7 here. Particular highlight being TAA’s zero, meaning he’s got me nine points from the last five!
This GW is getting the better of us! Yeah, TAA doesn’t look great at all. If I had a spare FT I’d have sold him for sure but now I am kinda stuck with him…
I’m 41 from 8 after the bonus and auto sub (Jimi for KDB) come in. I got hit by the late goals but my ML chasers got badly hurt by rotations. Am I a bad person for delight in their misfortune! :mosking:
That’s not a bad score at all Dave in the context of this GW so far :good:
I know what you mean about the schadenfreude of ML rivals having an even worse GW. I don’t normally revel in that kind of thing, but when I’m kicking myself for bad luck / choices then it does take the sting off to see ML rivals doing even worse.
It’s a very good score. It’s okay to gloat that’s why we compete in those MLs, so we can poke some fun with our rivals haha
21 from 8 here but using BB so still got another 7 to go but one of them is Greenwood.
Last two weeks using WC and BB seems to made me go backwards, would have been far better off without the chips!
I know what you mean about the chips, Shadow. I’m almost certain I’d have been better off with my non-FH team this week. I originally just did Vardy to Jesus with my FT and was gonna burn the FH chip, but somehow got sucked into the trap of using it because of the CHE and MCI fixtures (which were not the goalfests we had all hoped for). Oh well :unknw:
We are on the same page, Shadow. My WC was a colossal failure. I am currently using my BB as well and also have 7 to go with one of them being Greenwood. And I have spent hours (sadly I am not exaggerating) in preparation…
Shadow, Chips and Tornado: still much left for you so you never know but in terms of decisions this week looked prime for such chips with City and Chelsea having plum home fixtures, both looked good for a win by a fair margin, not the 1 that they both did it by. But it’s been a strange time, see Leicester v Bournemouth last week. Don’t be hard on yourselves, I think all were the correct decisions without the benefit of hindsight.
Thanks Init. Sometimes it’s easy to confuse bad decision-making with bad luck.
Cheers Init! Yeah, I genuinely blame it on luck haha
good luck to you as well
I think my planning was good, as I changed Garcia (who’d have added another 0) to Taylor but I cannot predict an injury, can I…Speaking of injuries, Greenwood got injured as well. Foden played almost the whole game but was just poor. Expected Doherty to be rotated at some point hence my strong bench but not on my WC haha. Just a bit harsh having 3 zeros and few ones on BB.
Anyway, another 6 to go today and tomorrow, so I hope they do better
Wise words as always, thanks.
I guess Liverpool won’t reach the 100 points mark.
Didnt think they wud with recent performances
A waste.
Liverpool assets, are they worth their huge price tag for the run in now I wonder?
My plan was – or rather is – to keep Salah for the Chelsea game then move him on for Sterling in GW38.
If the last two GW have been minefields then 37 could be worse as we will have made transfers before the cup games.
I can’t really ditch him or TAA without taking a hit, which seems pointless – literally – at this late stage.
So I’ll probably end the season with just TAA from LFC. Seeming alone but of course never.
Nah,go for the teams fighting for top 4.
Depends who you can move them to
It’s too late I think. I’ve got TAA and Salah and will probably have to stick with them.
With two GWs to go, I think it’s going to be hard to get them out without looking at the other issues (injuries, suspensions etc). My team for example has other issues: Soy (red, suspended), Lascelles (orange, injured), Greenwood (yellow, injured). Quite a colourful team!
Thats what I mean
Salah to son could be a good move. Need to win their next 2 for a chance at top 6. Hes scored back to back now as welll
Gavy – how has he looked? Spurs looked piss poor when I seen their game a few back
Yeah kind of stuck with them now,
If I sell them, they will score big. So I won’t sell them, and keep reaping the blanks.
Sold Mane and Jiminez for Raz (c) and Ings.
7 points from 5 players including my captain.
Anyone done worse?
That’s harsh! I get you cause I’ve been doing this all season…
I hope the other half of your team perform way better!
Unlucky, Horse! Here’s to your remaining players getting you more of a haul.
Eak! Bad luck there, Horse. Hopefully your other lads will bail you out this GW.
Bad luck Horse. That’s what it is though – luck – there’s nothing wrong with that team or the transfers.
Play my last chip free hit and get 54pts with pickford , digne , stephens , martial & ings to go
:good:
That’s a great score! I’m on 21 points with 6 players to go
Wow – great scoring. Well done :good:
I’m so glad I went for a strong bench on my free hit. Come on Connolly!!!!!!!
