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.

That Martial goal brings me to 37 pts, beating my season-worst of 35 *phew*
Martial coming back in for me, got rid of him on my WC for using BB but been costly. Probably KDB out for him.
51 from everyone here, a small green arrow at the moment but that’ll probably turn red once the West Ham v Watford game is done. Naturally.
68(-8) for me. OR is turd though.
Right, who wants to compare BB teams?
:popcorn:
I was on a FH, with much the same result :laugh2: . I’ve got Cresswell to go though :excited: !
Could be a double figure for you, clean sheet & an assist maybe..
Sure.
Not bad in the state of this game week, I had visions of 100 points when thinking of my BB :big-lol:
I know, it’s a bit of a letdown alright. I suppose it’s Always unpredictable with a few games to go.
Hey there Shadow & Man U Man – I was just about to post about the irony of my very own BB, when I saw that you guys had some of the same players as I have !
Bye for now!
Obviously I share your grief, but may hold the record as I also scored a fourth 0 with Fernandez (from Newcastle) as well.
Every cloud has a silver lining though, as I actually scored pretty well (72) and moved up about 100k places (obviously tonight’s results will modify this!), so thinking of what might have been….
Gutted Bruno hit the post
Can afford to do Willian to Dilva tonight before the latter’s price rise. What do you think? Team below.
I’d do it Swirls.
Cheers, bud. How are you faring? Hope you’re feeling better
Bit hot and cold mate. Last two weeks have been above average, so can’t complain. Bad captain choices is a big concern though. Hope everything changes for good next season.
I’m sure next season will be better. You just have to think of how different everything is at the mo, as games are coming thick and fast, there’s no crowds to affect the games, there’s five subs, Pep’s rotation that is mental, etc. So much of it is luck, at the moment – it’s the challenge that arises from the rotation around Christmas time x100 at the mo! Even, too, I think back to when I first started playing FPL when about 4m people took part… it’s now about 7m. It’s so much more competitive. What was originally getting in the top 250k is now, really, as much an achievement to get in the top 400k or whatever. I’ve had a shocking time since the restart, but soon this season will be over and, hopefully, the next will be a bit nearer to what we are used to!
really good point Swirly on the number of players….I started when I think it was circa 3m or 3.5m or something…its doubled at least…so a 75k finish then is now 150-200k I guess.. more info available and stats etc, but kinda same deal…
Thanks for the encouraging reply Swirly. I agree on the technical points stated by you. Absolutely correct. For people like me and many others, Captain choices are a big headache. Can’t get them right. Especially if someone scores a 20 and is captained by the majority and you don’t even own him, kills your plans for the whole month. Playing at home or away is not making any difference right now. So many factors. But, hope for a better next season. Cheers mate.
FWIW I don’t think he’ll start against Watford, he’ll be starting against Arsenal I think then rested and play his last home game against Norwich in 38.
I wouldn’t. For obvious reasons.
Thanks guys. Think I’ll just sit on my hands, hope Willian does anything at all and then bring Dilva in for a final swansong in GW38, downgrading someone else to afford the price change(s). :good:
Vardy to Jesus?
What are people’s thoughts?
It’s a tough one….
Made that move last gameweek and it paid off.
Was thinking of shipping vardy too. Jesus or ings on my list
I’m sending him home, and welcoming Harry Kane to the end of season party (or perhaps ‘debacle’!).
That’s the move I’m considering though not sure if worth it as no guarantee on Jesus mins. Either that or saving for me
Have you “put your faith in Jesus” Smash?
Or do you still believe in Vardy?
I can see the appeal
But given that Leicester need to win then I think sticking with Vardy is ok. Plus Jesus could be a headache for 38.
Risky.
But potentially high upside…..
This tweet is messing with my head regards making the move….
That spelling of ‘maybe’ is perhaps a coded message for Bees on this site.
At times like this one prays that Twitter will crash for ever.
I will almost certainly keep Vardy – guaranteed minutes plus Leicester have something to play for.
Kind of my thinking well this week anyway as Spurs tend to concede I don’t like the United fixture
I don’t like it either and may move Vardy out in 38. It did occur to me that if Chelsea bodge it against Liverpool and the other two don’t bodge their games then Leicester and Man U may only need to play out a draw to be certain of the CL.
KdB to D Silva for the rest of the Season? (last 2 games lol)
Good for 37, bad first 38 imo
Not for me
I doubt I’ll be making that move though you can never say never if injury strikes.
