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.

54 all out for me on a free hit. Not great but I have at least moved up to 260k which is still by far my worst ever rank but it is a lot better than the 980k rank I was before the season restarted so I have to be happy with that
Better than my measly 45pts on a wc – but that’s quite a jump in rankings! :drinks:
That is quite a jump, great going Smash!
Think 109k is my worst so hoping to get closer to that
Will have 37 all out. Also have my worst rank ever, too embarrassed to post.
I still stand by that anyone can have a bad season because of the luck involved. Captain pick etc. Sure you will bounce back
Yes, never finished above 100k in the 4 full seasons I have played. Looking forward to the next.
Not to bad. On 61 after auto subs. 388k, with then bench boost next week hoping to get down a bit lower
I know it’s been a poor season for your standards but that’s a massive jump, Smash! Well done! 2 correct captain choices till the end and you’ll probably be able to sneak in top 100k.
Snuck into top 100k For first time in season with a 59 + Antonio to play.
Sitting on Wildcard too. Prob dish that out gw 38. Not unhappy.
I always think anything inside 100k is great
Last season I killed it and managed to finish in the top 35k. Other then that always outside 100k by a distance. 7th year at it now. With a lot of luck might get in top 350k
Please advice i have no FT and 3.4 in bank
Also i have Bench boost will be used in the last round so i have to sell lascelles and taylor to get whom also captain for next round
Looks like you will be taking a hit then. Maybe you were a bit rash making the first move. I’d say prob Egan and a Burnley defender
+1
Yes i will make -4 only this week and a FT last week whom to get first Egan or tarkowski or long or bardsley
Also what about a city defender ??
Bruno was unlucky not to score last night. He hasn’t blanked 5. I’d leave it be.
Yeah he weren’t great last night and still almost hauled he really is that good
Morning all
Trying to narrow in on a transfer here. I think I have three things in mind (feel free to chuck any more in there).
– Defence doesn’t look too promising and Aurier might be in France. Bringing in Tarkowski makes sense but a bit boring?
– I think Martial at home is a great pick and arguably a captain. Can’t get him in without a -4… (Foden to Martial and Greenwood to Wood works)
– Greenwood to Wood on it’s own could be a nice punt versus Norwich. I think he will cause them problems.
Any thoughts? Or other suggestions welcomed.
Auba vs Villa concerns me and Jimi vs Palace.
1FT and 5.8m
FH in 38.
Thanks!
The boring move I’m afraid to say for me. Just because it’s Norwich I still don’t see Burnley scoring many ever
So true :laugh2:
There’s also Puli to Salah possible. If I were to think Chelsea might struggle with the fa cup turnaround…
That game is quite difficult to call. Liverpool get the trophy that day too
Good morning.
I have 1FT – 1.1 ITB & BB still available.
Any advice pls?
I’d certainly be playing Jimenez. Lascelles needs to go but maybe save and bb 38
Jimenez to replace Foden ?
Yeah
I just have enough money to get PEA or Kane for Jesus, Yay or nay and which one?
Nah
Definitely not pea with the fa cup. I like the idea of kane, but Leicester have a lot to play for.
I’m even contemplating bringing Jesus in over those two
Ok, thanks guys.
