Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 38+
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+

Didn’t turn out to bad in the end! Will end up on 79 points if bps stay the same, won my cup so I will picking up some money.
FFFix has me around 109k for OR! That will be lowest since I have started playing the game and first finish outside the top 100k!
Well played mate!
Probably didn’t articulate that very well!
I’ve had a shocker and that is my shittest score ever 😉 lol
You won your cup and got money! Seems good to me.
Oh ok! But yeah as Carolyn says! Haha
Carolyn, working out in my head, Rosco has pipped You to the regs league.
Yes I know, Rosco has beat me by 2 points I think, I don’t care I am delighted with the season.
You’ve done yourself proud Carolyn, shown millions of lads how its done and its been a pleasure having you on site. You know how Eresh copies the site team, well i’m copying you next season. Your still better off by £100 by the way. :hippo:
I think I have ended up around 5k or and to finish 2nd in the regulars league with the knowledge and skill of the people in the league is something I could very proud of, hopefully I can continue next season. Its great to win some money but I would rather donate it back to the site, I would really like a t shirt though? X
Init did say you could have a t-shirt if i remember rightly.
Congratulations to Horse and Brooky for winnings the doubles!
Finished runners up with MadHatter this season and raring to go again for next week.
Top 100k finish in my own team and doubles but missed out on work league by 40 points in the end so a distinct second.
Hope everybody enjoyed the last game of the weirdest season ever!
Ooh forgot about that league,is there a prize ?
Congrats guys!! Me and Matt forgot to make a lot of transfers this year! Haha
Ha ha well if it hadnt been for Horse we probably would have too !! Tried to juggle too many teams this season playing the Sky and Telegraph games,been too much of a head twister with all the games since lock down !!
Brooky, best prepare for next season mate.
Fantasy Premier league, singles and doubles. Fantasy Scottish Premier, Fantasy Bundesliga and fantasy CL.
I didn’t know there was a doubles league! Congrats Horse and Brooky! I fancy having a go at that next season if I can get someone to play with me.
You can partner Elle if you like, I’ll have him email you.
Great Init, thank you x
Sound.
Init, are we still in the doubles, Chipster and me?
I remember last year we were playing but not sure what is going on in this one :scratch_one-s_head:
No idea Ivan, I don’t look at it. It’s a distraction I don’t need or have time for. Good luck to those who can. Hopefully Elle and his new partner Carolyn can make a good team.
Although from experience it’s simply like having an FPL secretary: what moves do you want to make : ok they’re done :rofl:
That will be good I need a secretary.
:haha: Cool, I will email him and see what’s happening.
Now, after busy footy afternoon I am going to calm down with 2 episodes of Downton Abbey on ITV :laugh2:
Ivan, I’m not a telly person myself but I’ve just got my book out. Which usually signals that that’s me done with FF for a few weeks too.
At which point I just realised that the CL starts again soon and I’ll need to write that up. FFS!
It can wait though.
Nah, just chill out. That is not on for another two weeks.
Fixtures with dates and time will suffice
I’d like to say thank you to you all for sticking with FF247 during this, a very unusual and unprecedented FPL season.
For those who won their MLs, well done and for those who didn’t, we learn from our lessons and come back cleverer (that’s the theory anyway!)
Been a pleasure discussing the football with you all. We’ll be back before you know it.
I finished second in the ML I usually win but the bloke who won it fully deserved it. But I did win again in the ML where the organiser gives 6 bottles of wine to the winner so I’m still smiling.
More important things than FPL happened today
…
Swirly! Up the Villa and we’ll see you next season mate. Grab a beer.
Me? I’m off for a large glass of red. I’ll be back tonight to catch up with the comments of the day.
GP.
Thanks for all of your help this Season GP. You have been a certainly made me think outside the box when it comes to my transfers.
Thanks GP and all others on this site, see you soon
Thanks, GP! Much appreciated! I’ve done a Rosco and popped open some bubbly. Definitely helped to settle the nerves that were shot until about an hour and a half ago!
59 (-4) points and from 86k went down to 111k finish. Such a disappointing season this has been. Have been within 50k since last 5 seasons ago now outside 100k. What a tremendous failure!
Considering how many people play this game that’s far from a failure!! I know people who would kill for those ranks!! Try not to let it get you down and you can go again in just a few weeks!
It’s been a rough one for many managers, Eagle, and I can empathise with your disappointment. Tough luck.
However, given that an increasingly high ~7 million players manage FPL teams, the top 100k is an increasingly tough target — something to strive towards next season! We’ll get back up there soon enough, mate, for sure — take care for now.
I think I will finish about the same. Of course it’s disappointing to be just outside the 100k. I was in the top 1k last year, we all have our ups and downs. It just makes the ups better.
That’s exactly right Stone Frog.
Bad luck Eagle. I never really (I’m being serious) got over the poorish start Man City made, plus I indulged yet again, I don’t what it is that makes me do this, in Crystal Palace players. I have no idea why I continue to trust Palace players. It seldom if ever pays off for me.
Thanks everyone for all the help this season. Bring on next season!
Damn right!!
Agreed!!
Yep not too long to wait either
Oh yes. Though it’s going to be weird – still no crowds, Covid spikes everywhere and nowhere, Leeds back in the Prem, clubs presumably under huge financial pressure – and hopefully no leaked line-ups.
Ultimate banter?
That’s disgusting. I actually feel nauseous…
Ultimate fraud. Pep will be paying great monies to get this gem to ManCity!!!
As soon as I saw he had scored, I thought about that bet! The last minute of the last game – that’s actually ridiculous!
Betting is bad people. :big_boss:
