Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek and FF247 Site Team 38+.
What could possibly go wrong………………………………?
GW38+ Deadline; Sunday 26th July 3pm GMT
We’ve finally come to the end of what was ultimately a bizarre yet memorable season. Possibly for all the wrong reasons but it is what it is. Or was what it was, hopefully.
We can’t let it go without handing out more than a few ‘thanks’ though. We feel like we do this every season, and we do, but that doesn’t mean any of it is less heartfelt. Let’s go view everybody’s end of year school (FF247) report…
The Writing Team
Outstanding. We have a team of about 15 writers all told, give or take. And each and every one is a pleasure to work with. Whenever you have ’employees’ that is probably box 1 ticked. Box 2 is whether they are actually up to the job. And our writers certainly are. Their body of work speaks for itself. It is consistently brilliant, and we can’t thank them all enough for it.
IT
Much maligned and forever blamed. For everything. But our IT team is to ‘blame’ for us even having a website in the first place, maintaining it, improving it (whenever Init shouts), and generally keeping us online. It’s a thankless task which goes unnoticed most of the time. And for that we thank them. We think…
Social Media
Masks off, Swirly posts our articles and a few other choice bits on Twitter, anything you see on there that is somewhat approaching controversial will be from Mito. Init oversees the lot filling in the gaps and dealing with the fallout from Mito’s posts!
Matt ‘runs’ Facebook, although we think he may have forgotten that he does…
Site Members
By this we mean those who comment regularly. The main reason we do the work we do is you guys. We see other fantsay football sites who have little or no interaction in their comments and we wonder why they continue or where their motivation comes from as a result. You are our motivation. And we thank you all. Each and every comment keeps our pecker up and is appreciated.
Readers
To those who simply read we say thank you too. We know you are out there as we see the stats and they are staggeringly good so we know you read even if you don’t interact with us. And that’s fine too. Thank you.
As for GW38+ itself all the games begin at 4pm on Sunday and we shall not bother you with any needless waffle about them, they are as follows:
The games in full…
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.
What Next?
Plenty, as it happens, so don’t go away for too long.
We intend to pick up where the Champions League left off and that one begins again on August 7th so look out for our preview prior to that with a reminder about where we left it in terms of the Regs League, what the craic is going forward with transfers and the new look layout for it in terms of the fixture schedule.
GP has made a gallant attempt to get us to play Fantasy Football Scotland so if you wish to do that check out his post here . We are lead to believe there will also be articles on it. Can’t wait.
Beyond that the plan for the 2020/21 season seems to be to resume on the 12th September so no doubt we shall gallop from the CL straight into our usual pre-season articles with info on the newly promoted teams and the like.
For now though enjoy GW38, and we shall see you soon!

Our GW37+ Result…
Saturday began with an inevitable clean sheet for Pope. Sunday brought us an unexpected one from Aurier. That was after Ings had both delighted and disappointed in equal measure.
We then had to wait until Tuesday for our next involvement. Which was predominantly the City lot and new signing Auba. And what a bunch of flops the lot were! Granted, Foden got us a welcome goal but Dilva was a no show and Auba may as well have been too.
Wednesday needed to be better or we would be staring down the barrel of a huge red gun arrow. TAA did his best for us, Greenwood brought a goal and Salah an assist but Wan-B not starting was a blow and our Captain Bruno just looked spent. Pulisic was probably our surprise highlight / bonus given that he he didn’t even start!
All in all we landed on 65 points which despite being 12 above the average still saw us take home a small red’un, stumbling down 2k to 41,931st.
GW38+ TRANSFER
We have (n’t yet) SOLD Auba and (have not yet) BOUGHT Kane
Confused?
Basically this is a proposal. In a bold move we have decided to wait until the last minute for once, in the hope of some early Man City team news. In the absence of any we shall proceed with the Kane move.
The alternatives are Salah to Sterling or KDB to Sterling. Or anyone else to Sterling… Essentially we are waiting on Mr St. Tropez.
So what could possibly go wrong… well, we have left our IT department (Floydeth) in charge of executing this transfer as he was the only one who put his hand up as being ‘definitely available’ for the task. Gulp.
GW38+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW38+ wil be DAVID SILVA
Our Vice-Captain will (may) be HARRY KANE
Our intention is to captain David Silva and that probably won’t alter unless we hear he is unexpectantly benched, which he almost certainly won’t be.
Our vice is up for grabs but Kane will get it, if he gets to grace our team. Only time (or IT) wil tell…
Good luck to absolutely everyone for Gameweek 38+ from all at FF247!
Our team in full, in theory…
We shall post on site tomorrow to confirm either way.
Thanks for reading Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek and FF247 Site Team 38+

Hi fellas,
Thanks
Last day of this long FPL season. Leading 45 points in my mini league, but the guy in second place has TC to use, while I don’t no chips left. I think of bringing Sterling and Kane for Salah and Vardy. I would grately appreciate your thoughts and advice on how to keep the lead and finally win the damn thing
My team
My opponent’s team
You look in a good place to be able to transfer out Bruno because he doesn’t have him. Bruno to Sterling or David Silva is on my mind.
How many transfers and how much money do you have?
I have 2FT and 0.1 itb
I haven’t looked at your opponent’s team – there’s only so much data I can process – but if s/he TCs Sterling and he goes absolutely mental today then you may lose out. But a 45 point lead is very tough to claw back in one GW.
In your shoes I would keep Salah and maybe get Kane. I will be bringing Kane in for Vardy because I feel the former has a better chance of points today.
Best of luck.
Should I go for Bruno to D silva or Pulisici with -4? I dont think it is wise to go for a hit in the current situation
I would keep Salah and consider Bruno to David Silva and Vardy to Kane.
That work?
What GP says
MUFC – if for free, I’d do those moves in a heart beat.
I hope whoever it is who is leaking the City team news has the grace to do it in good time.
I can’t say I’m overly thrilled by this development in the game. I suppose the flip side is that if people become overly dependent on leaked sides that may not be too bad a thing in that a leaked XI isn’t necessarily going to give you the best XI for that gameswek – and it may start skewing your other decisions.
For all that the way I plan to deal with it today is by making my transfers in good time – e.g. before the clamour that’s going to occur when the team is leaked – and if I can / have the time later I will check. If say KdB isn’t even on the bench I will take a hit to bring Sterling in (assuming he starts).
Otherwise I feel that the three City players I’ll have this week – in particular KdB and Silva – should be enough.
I’ve never known early team news to be so public. The FPL site may crash
Either way I’d expect it to be the last one as I saw a tweet from official site so they are aware of it. I’m expecting them to move the deadline to 1 hour 15 mins before. The reason is the media get the teams 15 mins earlier for graphics etc
That’s reassuring.
Hey guys. First off, thanks a milion to all the regulars of this site for all the sound advice they have been providing throughout the season. Not to mention giving us community members some much needed footie company during these testing times, especially during the lockdown.
I usually don’t post long posts throughout the season, but I make it a point to thank all the members at seasons end for the great help they have all been ever since iv been a part of this great community.
I understand a lot of people haven’t had a great season, myself included. But a huge silver lining I’ve noticed, is that I’ve climbed 1.3 million places since the restart to around 450k and jumped from 6th to 1st with a 40 point lead in my ML. As little as that victory would be to some, I can’t thank you guys enough for being the source of my joy as we head into the final GW of the season.
Can’t see a better segway into my final team of the GW this season.
Would you do ?
Doherty + Vardy to Kane and a defender( defender doesn’t matter since he wouldn’t start)
OR
Vardy and Bruno/Martial/Antonio(kindly help me chose 1) to Sterling and a 5 mil attacker( who probably wouldn’t start over Greenwood)
Kane or Sterling would be my capo.
Thanks again for all your help and thanks in advance for your help with my final GW.
1FT and 0.4 itb
Here’s my team
Seeing as Doherty and Vardy are on your bench currently, I think I like the look of the Kane route.
Great post as well Doc, thank you.
Thanks and welcome GP
I quite like both there. Also Jesus in for Vardy to save a -4 and gives you more City coverage
Alternatively i could do Vardy and Bruno for Kane and David Silva. Would that be better ? It would give me more Citeh coverage like Smash suggested as well as get in Kane like GP suggested. Wouldn’t mind a -4 for those players.
I’m also thinking on Bruno/Vardy to Kane/dilva for a -4 I’m only r behind leader but he has FH so to hell with it!
FplDoc789 – kind words there Doc.
Given the ones going out I’d prefer the first move. Wouldn’t be selling Bruno/Martial/Antonio.
Morning guys do we thk KDB plays today ??????
I do. Nothing other than a guess.
I do tbh because he’s going for the assist record
He surely is, but does Pep care, Smash
Morning GP you all good for the last day winning mini league by 34 points but thinking of taking a hit Bruno & Vardy to Sterling & Woods or Silva & Kane which do you prefer :rofl:
I’m leaning towards the latter myself. Just happened to see your post after mine and realised we have a similar conundrum
It’s a tough call. Assuming Sterling plays, he should score well but Woods is not exactly a high probability for multiple goals. Silva could get a nice haul vs Norwich and Kane is always capable of 2 or 3 goals if the mood is right.
Silva and Kane
We do Silvers
Hi guys
Many thanks for he hard work throughout the season! Much appreciated.
This is my FH effort leaving me with 0.1m in the bank.
Any advice please? I’m not convinced with Jesus really.
Hi all 4pts ahead in my mini league. My team is:
Ederson
Pope
Alexander-Arnold
Aurier
Wan-Bissaka
Pieters
Taylor
Salah
David Silva
Fernandes
Pulisic
Foden
Ings
Greenwood
Aubameyang
Guy in Second place team is:
Ederson
Martinez
Van Dijk
Doherty
Egan
Azpilicueta
Fernandez
Fernandes
Foden
Sterling
Pulisic
Salah
Jimenez
Ings
Greenwood
I thinking Aba to Kane. Any advice how to keep ahead?
If Aubameyang to Kane is for free then I like it.
You’re banking on David Silva matching or bettering his Sterling which is entirely possible.
Aubameyang to Kane is free so will pencil in unless Man City news changes my starting eleven. Managed to claw back his 60pts lead and then some only to leave TAA on the bench last week.
I would be happy enough with Jesus if we see early news that he starts. If not, go Rashford.
Nice side :good:
Looks very decent Smithy
If I was FH Smithy they’re the three City players I’d have.
Jesus seems an eminently sensible choice to me.
Have been having some last-minute thoughts of playing him myself – am choosing between him and David Silva.
