World Cup Quarter Finals Live Match Chat
Welcome to World Cup Quarter Finals Live Match Chat. And then there were eight. Well, England plus another seven 😉 Some surprises along the way mixed with some familiar names progressing sees us arrive at the quarter-final stage with everything to play for. Like any tournament the continued presence of the home nation is generally seen as a positive, except by Spain of course who have already departed for the more familiar surroundings of Costa Blanca. We have also waved goodbye to Messi and Ronaldo and a new superstar has been born in Mbappe.
Sadly we said farewell to the gallant Japanese but with England facing Sweden, expectations continue to reach epic proportions. It’s coming home. Isn’t it?! Ah c’mon, let us dream!
We have the next two days off until we reconvene on Friday, so plenty of time to think over plans and transfers. Is it time to play a Chip or have they been utilised/wasted already?!
From a fantasy point of view we have 3 free transfers for this round and we can now own a maximum of five players from any one team.
THE GAMES IN FULL

So that you have them to hand in one place here’s a reminder of the substitution rules, transfer allotment, wildcard and boosters. AKA the rules…

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.
Good luck!
This has been flying around here in the states today for the 4th of July (Independence Day). Thought I’d share
Thoughts on this chaps?
I’m planning:
Costa>Mbappe
Isco>Modric
Caravjal>Maguire
Considering a WC to fix Boyata, Quintero and Rodriguez which will likely be
Boyata > Pavard
Rodriguez> Miranda/Fagner
Quintero > £6.9/6.4 or under ?
Is the WC worth it and does anyone know if I can play it at the same time as maximum captain chip which I was planning on using?
Cheers
Will likely do Rodriguez> Fagner + Quintero>Golovin if I WC and hope Fagner starts. I’m not that up to scratch on the Brazil lineup.
Fagner is starting because Danilo was injured. Danilo is fine now it seems but looks like Fagner may have grabbed his spot regardless.
Yep I’d WC there. You can defo use it alongside one of the chips too.

IF YOU’RE SEEING THIS THEN YOU ARE ON THE NEW SITE.
I’d advise to clear any old cache.
***ESSENTIAL SITE MAINTENANCE***
Over the course of the next few days (4th/5th July) we are about to commence some essential site maintenance to ensure that FF247 is up and running properly ahead of the next FPL season.
Due to high demand we experienced some ‘weight issues’ towards the end of last season (this is an IT phrase and nothing to do with the actual weight of the users, we are assured, although not convinced!). As a result we need to switch servers to avoid the same issues again at peak times.
In reality what this will mean is that briefly at some point over the coming days there will (in effect) be 2 sites in operation. The fun part is that you may randomly end up on either one! This will probably last for a few hours before normality is restored and (hopefully!) we all end up on the new one at some point.
You will know which you are on simply by seeing either NEW FF247 or OLD FF247 as follows:
NEW FF247, SUCCESS!
Any comments since 7.54pm didn’t come over btw. Just in case you missed that bit on the old site. Many apologies if that means you lost a RMT or something. We had to pick a point in time to copy over from and that was it.
G’day!
You know the rule on Aussies
I’ll get my coat 😉
No offence to any of our ‘nice’ Aussie friends btw
Just so happens that we’ve only ever banned 4 people and 3 of them were from there! Coincidence I’m sure :whistle:
Any news on that wet wipe from down under who was gonna come over and do us all, the Roonpig idiot ?
Deport #4 would be fine by me!
Someone’s in ‘da money! Kept that one quiet 😉
Spying on the boss is always a good idea; letting the buggers know? Not so sure, mmm
