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.

So I haven’t really been around, but I’m still playing out the season. Feels strange. Kind of like an extended holiday period. Not been lighting this season on fire at all, but TC Kane this GW has worked a charm! How’s everyone else doing?
Outstanding score well done, my game week finished on 67 so not too bad really!
Brilliant score that Pancho! I’m on 71 with hopefully Cresswell coming off the bench for KdB.
Anyone have any suggestions for this lot? I’ve got 3.1 itb but only 1 FT. I’m thinking of moving Aurier out as he’s meant to be in France right now so doubt he flies back for a match on Sunday.
Any suggestion that he won’t?
Antonio to Martial?
Foden to Martial?
Vardy to Aubameyang?
It could go either way with Aurier but you’d imagine his brother’s funeral would be this weekend. I’m not sure how quick they are in France.
I was looking at Vardy to Auba as my favoured move though.
Antonio to Martial
See that would be most sensible but with Hammers playing Villa in 38. That could be Villa needing to attack which would leave space for Antonio in behind.
Depends on the West Ham result tonight in truth if they still need the points
FH team, Ings of Jimi?? In general good to go ???
Not sure on Richarlison vs Sheffield Utd. They are struggling to attack never mind score and that’s against teams far less adept at defending.
Any suggestions pls ??
Love the Son pick and the Martial captain. I agree with Init on Richarlison (and EVE in general).
City have a nice fixture (albeit away) so you could try whoever you can afford from there (or whoever you think might play). I’m guessing from your bench players that funds are tight, so if you can’t upgrade Richarlison how about downgrading him to Traore (although, again, a rotation risk).
I’d drop Richarlison. What about Armstrong as a differential?
I came up with this. Still have 2.6m in bank
This
Yuk I hate the double Spurs
Anyone have ideas on what to do with this team? Have 1 ft and 3.8mib.
Maybe Greenwood to Jesus and Tarkowski for TAA (4ph)?
Hi Bees. I wouldn’t sell TAA ahead of a home game. I’d be keeping him til the bitter end now. Still a possibility of points there I think, even without much to play for.
Ditto, I. wouldn’t be in a rush to throw over Greenwood either, despite a couple of blanks. He’s still starting, and has a home fixture too, so I would personally hold.
If you’re desperate to use your FT, consider Pulisic to Son, or, if you’re brave, a City mid (spin the wheel, take your pick), as I think CHE have tricky games left now and could struggle. Or, the BUR defender idea of yours is a good one, but maybe Lascelles out for that, rather than TAA. You could then field your shiny new BUR boy and bench Pulisic perhaps?
Saying all of that, I also think you could just roll the FT and have two to play with next week.
Not sure if that helped, or just drowned you in options :rofl:
Thanks Chipster…all great suggestions. I have reached the point where my mind just spins :wacko:
Chip has pretty much covered the bases here. I’d maybe go Lascelles to Burnely defence.
On bench boost for 37+
Planning to sideways transfer tarkowski in for taylor
Do I need wood for Vardy for a hit?
If I do this, it will be my first hit of the season
Managed to arrive 36+ without any hit..
Personally, I wouldn’t take a hit for a BUR attacker – even if they are playing NOR. Even less so if it’s Vardy you’re binning off for said BUR attacker. Yes, BUR have the better fixture on paper, but Vardy has more to play for (and much better form I think).
I would just swap Taylor out for Tarks, like you suggest, or a SHU/WOL defender perhaps.
It’s not the best week for your squad to BB, as a few of them oppose one another (KDB vs Kiko; Sarr vs Garcia, Willian vs TAA. That makes it hard to score well, as a return for one in each pairing dents the points potential of the other. Do the fixtures line up any better for your squad to BB in 38+ instead?
Guys, bring in Beardsley for C
Taylor or carry the FT?
This might help :big-lol:
