Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 37+
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 37+.
GW37+ Deadline; Saturday 18th July 4.30pm GMT
But can he play left-back?
These game-weeks are getting ridiculous now. As one ends, the next starts and so it is with GW37+, although at least this one lasts for five days. This is of course due to the weekend’s FA Cup semi-finals which are between Arsenal and Manchester City and then Manchester United and Chelsea. Now the implications of these cup semis are that players from any of the aforementioned teams could pick up injuries or fatigue from their Cup matches and it also means we won’t receive team news on their opponents (Watford, Villa, West Ham and Liverpool) before they meet in midweek.
The game-week begins on Saturday early evening, 5.30pm to be precise, with a real humdinger of a game as Burnley travel to relegated Norwich. That’s our only game of Saturday. Sunday sees two matches. First up is the local derby between Bournemouth and Southampton before Spurs entertain Leicester. We then move onto Monday as Brighton host Newcastle at the same time as Sheffield United take on Everton and then later on Wolves look to brush past Palace.
Tuesday sees Watford attempt to slow the Man City goal machine before Villa host Arsenal.
Finally, we conclude on Wednesday with Man United welcoming West Ham before Chelsea go to Liverpool.
If you’re worn out by all this then rest is assured as you have three and a bit days off before the last day of the season!
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.
FF247 SITE TEAM GW37+
Our GW36+ Result…
Tuesday began with us owning just Pulisic but also with some trepidation that Giroud would go bananas against a profligate Norwich and we’d have a monster on our hands come the next team meeting. Sure enough l’Adonis notched but thankfully just the one (with Pulisic handily assisting) and so onto Wednesday and hopefully a David Silva Masterclass to justify our eyebrow raising sale of KDB.
Not only did we buy Dilva, we bloody well captained him! And boy are we glad we did as he brought home the hallowed treble: a goal, assist and all 3 bonus. For a total of 26. That was the good news…
Elsewhere Foden blanked again and Pope lost his CS and 3 bonus points late on. Salah and TAA similarly disappointed with a 2 and a 0.
Wednesday brought us hope with Wan-B, Bruno, Greenwood and Ings all starting. The reality was a mixed bag with a CS, an assist and a goal between them leaving us somewhat confused as to whether that was enough or that we simply expected more. Probably 70/30 in favour of the latter.
That left Friday. And last weeks hero Cresswell propping up the rear. From hero to zero. Well ok, a two point zero but all the same.
That left us with 61 points and a rank of 38k, a rise from about 50k, but that’s not our final GW36+ rank. In the interests of getting this article live we have gone early and so will update the final rank when we can, as if it matters.
GW37+ TRANSFER
We have SOLD Vardy and BOUGHT Aubameyang
As much as we do eventually get some decisions correct and we do fairly well in general (relatively speaking) we shudder to think what people would make of our thought process in terms of ‘getting there’…
This week’s discussion began with selling Vardy and quickly went onto needing a defender instead. We had Martial playing left-back and wearing the armband at one point despite already owning 3 Man Utd players (which nobody noticed) and eventually came back round to Vardy. It’s like five clowns walking into a sweet shop at times.
To save the day, and our sanity, somebody pointed out Arsenal’s two remaining games and Aubameyang was ushered in with haste.
GW37+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW37+ will be BRUNO FERNANDES
Our Vice-Captain will be (whoever came in for Vardy) AUBAMEYANG
No surprises here, Mr. Consistent got the vote. He’s looked like both the best, (and at the very least) the liveliest player in the league since he arrived. So much so you almost expect some sort of FPL return every time he moves, never mind gets on the ball.

Abu going to make me regret selling him I feel..
Well, their focus’ll be the cup now so hopefully they’ll be a bit more chilled out in the league.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they’d won.
Aren’t they fighting for a euro league spot or something to that extent?
***KRALIN****
Check your email please. SOS on there.
I know you’ll check here before there hence the odd post!
***inittowinit (Ilicic (C) 4 goals)***
I have replied.
************ Thank you **************
X :wink2:
Hi everyone,
so who will start for MC against Norwich?Based on Line up against Arsenal?
Bsilva may start, Mahrez could start.Maybe false 9 , sterling benched
All those are possible ragunath.
Suspect Foden may start too and David Silva unlikely.
All guesswork though.
With the Watford game 1st I suspect the opposite of what you suspect.
I read the question as Watford
I agree with you then Perm.
You know as well as the rest of us that:
…solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.
:big-lol:
Morning mate, I need a shirt to represent you for the GW38 cappos article, Either who you support or if that’s top secret who you would like!?
I believe Kralin is one of the good guys!
I did not know he was a Chelsea fan
Oh Smash….
:big-lol:
Rosco – Liverpool; thanks.
Dsilva last home game in the PL. A start and goal are written in the stars… might need to transfer him in
With the Arsenal result and no cup final now City need to get back to a winning momentum. I expect DSilva to be benched next game but generally I expect to see them closer to full strength for the last two now
Could do with a Spurs win today with Kane and Son doing nowt. Maybe a Vardy own goal to get the masses revolting.
Or is it the revolting masses? :big-lol:
Cookie I agree, could do with a 1-0, and the goal is by Alderweireld
A nice comfortable win for Leicester will keep things nice & interesting for the final day of the season! A couple of goals for Jamie would also be most welcome
Oh behave Kop
+1 a draw with a vardy brace will do :drinks:
Hello all. 1FT. 0ITB
What is the best move? Cathcart/C.Taylor -> Burnley defender?
Probably the sensible transfer
Thanks. Hope Dilva plays in that last game.
I think he will as think he will be benched in next one
I’d go Burnley defender. If city keep a clean sheet today pope must have one on the last day for a chance in the golden glove
If City keep a clean sheet today they need to speak to the fixture scheduler. :wink2:
Taylor to Pieters LRL.

*****SCOTTISH FANTASY FOOTBALL*****
Hello Everyone!
The Scottish Premiership returns on 1st August and a new and improved fantasy game comes with it.
Search for the Fantasy Football Scotland App in your app store and join our league using this code:
GLGRc
The App is very user friendly and vibrant.
If you’re not sure then I’d say picking three Rangers and Celtic players and fill in the gaps!
Here is a link to some of previous season’s statistics:
https://footystats.org/scotland/premiership#
Same scoring, same chips as FPL except one BIG CHANGE regarding Vice Captaincy.
Your captain will score double points but your vice captain will ALSO COUNT DOUBLE for the goals they score (if they are a midfielder or forward) or the clean sheet they keep (if they are a goalkeeper or defender). Simply, you could have two players score hat-tricks in a gameweek and get double points for each.
Join. :meeting:
I’ve been ogling the Lockness FC kits, there monster. Shame they are not in the SPL.
Those are nice Stone Frog.
Inverness are the closest but they’re still in the league below.
Get a team in mate.
Come on the Well :laugh2:
Padster
Adopted or do you have some sort of connection?
I met the wife when i was working in Hamilton GP, We had digs in Motherwell where she is originally from, I never left Scotland after that, we rent our house out in the Scottish borders whilst we are on our travels, We normally come back every summer for 3 weeks and even get a weeks caravan holiday over in your neck of the woods, Craig Tara, just to keep it real for our daughter :laugh2: , but we’re giving Britain a miss this year for obvious reasons, so yes they’re my adopted team!
Brilliant Padster!
Hopefully see you back with us here in better times very soon. :good:
Hey GP, cheers for letting everyone know. Dont think I’ll be jumping on ship myself. 1 fantasy team takes up to much of my time lol
Going to be Youtubeing which leads player’s to take next season for this
No trouble Gavy.
Thanks for reply.
Got a team all set up GP. I haven’t a clue so basically using my FIFA20 knowledge to pick half of these players haha
Nice one Matt.
Guthrie at Livi is in mine. 6 goals from defence last season.
And they play on the worst astroturf pitch you’ve ever seen in your life so most of their home games are clean sheets.
Yeah I went onto Transfermarket there just to see what the goalscorer stats were and as soon as I saw his goal stat and his price he was right in! I didn’t know about the astropitch though so that’s a strange one!
I actually know some of these guys, that’s disturbing. I know the French forward for Celtic, is that Campbell the Costa Rican? I know Hagi.
By the way I am asking GP not you Matt. :laugh2:
I didn’t even know Campbell was Costa Rican so you know more than me mate hahah
Edouard will probably end up in the English Premier League sooner or later.
Hagi will be playing in our central playmaker role – I would definitely have him.
Campbell is from Glasgow and a Scotland Under 21 International…. close :big_boss:
oh ok, thought it could be the former Arsenal player.
Joel Campbell.
Just googled, he’s with Leon in Mexico!
Geeps, is there any value in defenders in this game that aren’t Celtic or Rangers? (Bar Guthrie who seems to have a lovely eye for goal) Just looked at the table from last season and everyone else has conceded atleast 20 more goals!
Bringing in OF defence means you’re using valuable attacking spots.
Aberdeen you’re best bet after that and Kilmarnock are usually sound enough. Alex Dyer has taken over from Steve Clarke and he was his assistant so expect not too much will change and they’ll still be pretty stingy.
I knew Rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen are in my opinion the top 3 but I couldn’t think who was the next one and thought it was St. Johnstone. I’ll have to have a look at Kilmarnock now.
Thanks GP, going on the site now and getting a team ready. :help:
Cheers Legend.
You’ll have El Bufalo as well then?
If he feels worth it, I am loyal to no one in fantasy.
In Geeps.
Good man :good:
They play football in Scotland :hippo: ! On a serious note I know nothing about Scottish football. I think I’ll try and visit Scotland instead
Get a team in Smash.
And visit anytime. Bring a mask.
Lol I’d be so bad at this, my other half is only happy the PL is almost over. :rofl:
😀
Just joined! Absolutely no idea what I’m doing – not through any fault of the app, my knowledge of Scottish football is shocking!
Good man Swirly :yes:
Anyone from Ross worth looking at? (As a 4th def or mid perhaps) They avoid Glasgow for.the first six games.
Otieno
Billy McKay and Stephen Kelly I think.
Kelly is on loan from Rangers and has just had a brilliant loan season at Ayr. Step up for him but he’s really well rated.
You’ll probably get a goal from McKay here and there, he knows the league very well.
I’m in although I don’t know a lot about Scotland. Any obvious mistakes?
What are the usual tactics for this league? Are there any DGW? Is it worth throwing TC or BB at week 1 ?
That looks great Otieno with no obvious problems showing up.
No planned DGWs as yet but undoubtedly there will be once we get into the season and the Cup games begin and the weather takes hold.
I wouldn’t say TC is better at any point than another but Celtic at home to Hamilton is as straightforward a match as Celtic will get.
GP, I’ve spent all of 2 minutes picking a team and I’m stuck!!
Where should I be looking for bench fodder? You know what I mean…those wasters who cost very little and do next to nothing but start every week 😉
West Ham?
Is there a Scottish West Ham?
Probably Ross, he was the lamest Friends character from what I can tell so it has to be them.
St Mirren and Ross County probably.
I’ll keep an eye on preseason games and advise.
Cheers GP.
Would you expect to see any starters around the 2.0m mark?
Obika for St Mirren scored a few last season. McKay at Ross County or Chris Long at Motherwell.
Apparently Pinnock and Kabamba should play for Killie.
St Mirren should have a 2.0mln goalkeeper but not sure which one yet.
Also we’re trying to send Mayo out on loan this season so if that’s to another Premiership team, I’d be interested.
I’m in, though haven’t followed Scottish football since the days of Larsson and Blinker
