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.

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.

I have two free transfers going in to gw38. Going to wait till close to the deadline to see if there is any early team news. What is the best way to approach this as I am worried I won’t have long to make the transfers. How many early line ups would you expect to be leaked?
I wouldn’t expect any to be leaked before the deadline, if it happens it will be luck. Keep an eye on the press conferences see if you can get anything from those.
True yeah not banking on it. Any early thoughts on what I should do?
I think some Tottenham, or some Chelsea, take out VVD and bring in Aurier. Then Foden to Willian, or get rid of Jim and upgrade Foden to Son. The problem is you have a really good team and you would want to keep them all!
Thanks yeah I know it’s tricky. Think I will have to wait and see my ML situation. I’m 17 points clear at the moment
You’ll have more info to work with after this GW is done and dusted and see where you are standing in your ML.
Early thoughts though – downgrade VVD/TAA to a cheap defender and upgrade Foden/Saka.
Guardiola: “We are going to make some changes, some players who played the semi-final are going to play but we are going to play the next two games I will try to let all of them play. We will see.”
Could be plenty of 1 pointers coming our way for City player owners… :hippo:
He makes no sense to me, all I get from that is they are going to play two games and the are going to use players!
So if a player starts vs Watford he’s got to be very doubtful to start vs Norwich right?
Ah, that would make more sense.
Careful now Cookie that assumes logic is applicable
Thing is he makes too many changes and it results in them losing
Sometimes I think that if Pep does his statements in Spanish we might have a better understanding of what he means :laugh2:
A Sheffield CS would keep this week an a amazing buzz 😎
Who’s with me?
a 0-0 game would be absolute joy :popcorn:
Boring! but I’d be attempting backflips
Gavy, shall we take that you haven’t benched Egan this time 😉
Bench boost :big-lol:
Next season he’ll be a pick and stick :laugh2:
I knew there is something behind that wishful thinking :laugh2:
Sheffield
Everton
Brighton
Newcastle
I wonder why wilder lost faith in the lord
Hes only back from injury. Using him as a power sub for now
Because he’s not very good
He’s a legend. Not very good? Says a man who had him from gw6 to 26
Well he is a semi offensive mid classed as defender who started at 4.0. That somewhat improves the FPL prospective. That’s not to say his football fielding capabilities are equally desirable
I mean he was a good FPL asset because he was a 4 million defender playing attacking midfield. That’s got nothing to do with him being a good footballer
