The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek 6
Filed under: Betting - Posted by: Money Mike
For a second week in a row, our Flutter ambitions were denied at the finishing line. Keving Nolan made his anytime goal, but The Hammers failed to keep Steven Fletcher at bay, whilst an on-fire Eden Hazard was seemingly doused by visitors Stoke City, even though The Blues back-line held firm for the cleanie. We’ve still a couple of tenners profit to play with, but as Paddy starts chipping away at our initial success, we need another decent ride or two to keep our noses in front…
Usually last out of the stalls, our new “Goal-Assist-Cleanie treble” is this weeks front-runner. Robin Van Persie’s hunger for goals has not been dampened by his summer transfer and makes up the first leg of our treble. Our second leg, the assist, comes from the rejuvenated Steven Pienaar. A bit-part player for Spurs, Moyes has made him pivotal to his Everton unit and he’s replied with a goal and three assists so far this term; we fancy him against the visiting Saints. A Sunderland clean-sheet makes up our final leg, and with four low scoring, hard-fought draws so far this season, we feel there’s a good chance of Martin O’Neill’s side keeping out visiting Wigan. Paddy are offering 20/1 for the treble on a Van Persie goal, Pienaar assist and Sunderland clean sheet, and we’re going with a “no guts, no glory” approach with this, throwing £5 on it to try and win £100.
While Pienaar has been on fire this term, it’s been Maouane Fellaini who has been simply irresistible. He’s dominated all but one of the five league games the Toffees have played so far, strong-arming players off the ball and terrorising opponents with his height and technique. If that wasn’t enough, he’s made his mark on the scoresheet, netting three in five. We’re hoping he’ll add to that this week by taking £2 on him to score and Everton to keep a cleanie against Southampton at 4/1.
As we’ve mentioned, Steven Fletcher spoiled our double last week by putting one passed Jussi Jasskelainen at the Boleyn. We’re hopefully turning villain into hero this time around as Fletcher is priced up to score and Sunderland to get a cleanie against Wigan at 9/2. He’s scored ALL of Sunderland’s goals this season so far, so this is a bet we really fancy. As we’ve gone for big risk big reward early on in the Flutter, we’ve only £2 to offer, but considering his scoring record we’re favouring this as our banker.
Last up is the tricky playmaker Santi Carzorla. Arsenal were initially a bit slow to get going but they’ve certainly built up momentum in recent weeks. A 6-1 win in the Capital One cup midweek and a similar scoreline against Southampton two gameweeks past has dispelled fears that without Van Persie, the goals would dry up. Carzorla’s managed three assists and a goal in the league and looks poised to maintain that rate. Paddy are dangling 11/1 for a Cazorla goal and a cleanie against league leaders Chelsea and we’ll have our final quid on that.

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Nitin Nagaraja says:
Tevez
Suarez done (-4). Gulp!
September 29 at 11:14 am
Ryan says:
Indeed, good luck to you. I need Sterling to do well
September 29 at 11:16 am
Balotellitubbies says:
I really want Sterling his price will rocket as soon as he gets a goal. So hard to bring him in though as there always seems to be more pressing matters.
September 29 at 11:20 am
Ryan says:
I’m kinda glad I have him, a perfectly able sub for the injured Berbatov over the next few weeks. Liverpool have nice fixtures as well and are definitely due.
September 29 at 11:19 am
Balotellitubbies says:
agreed he’s a perfect first sub
September 29 at 11:20 am
tw says:
and the armband?
September 29 at 11:26 am
Ryan says:
Now don’t push it
September 29 at 11:14 am
Balotellitubbies says:
I’m gonna stick it out with Tevez. I don’t think Mancini will want to annoy him again after last year. It’s a coin toss really.
September 29 at 11:31 am
Ryan says:
It is. There will be winners and loosers in this one. Who knows what will happen
September 29 at 11:16 am
Van The Man(Formerly Yash) says:
Cuellar Davies Baines( McAuley Demel)
Is this defence order right?? Real dilemma this.
September 29 at 11:20 am
tw says:
i’d bench davies for one of the two on the bench tbh
September 29 at 11:18 am

Posted this earleir, any final thoughts…
Right captain discussion?
Everyone’s options seem to be from the following Shortlist…
RVP, Baines, Felliani, Fletcher or Ba.
Rvp, is Rvp but not an easy game despite being home. I think Rooney will play behind him and if his midweek performance was anything to go by could be great for Robin. At least an assist, probably a goal., 7/10.
Ba seems to be scoring in doing very little. Decent fixture away to reading. . . But Is Cabaye fit? If not that will hinder his return, but the return of Tiote will no doubt make Newcaslte a much better team. Im not sure though he is as strong a option as robin despite easier fixture. 6/10.
Fletcher, a Gretna option this week. Banging in the goals, with very few chances. Despite an easier game, if chances still limited it. Could be a worry but if AJ returns worth a shot in my opinion 7/10
Felliani. Been on fire, Great home fixture but… Always chance of a red plus could his position be effected (in the hole / Cahill role ) if Neville goes to right back? 6/10
Now for Baines. Great fixture, but I think Southampton will score. So we could assume he starts on 2pts after losing his cleanie. Southampton are fragile at the back, and Baines is so far forward and couple that with his great crossing bailey, fk, pens and corners he still seems like a great option. 7.5/10.
I have NEVER captained a defender in my 4 fpl seasons to date but today I think I’m going to break that and go for….
Baines (c)
Here’s hoping…..
September 29 at 11:20 am
GreenWindmill says:
I’m going for the boring RVP(c) route but I considered Baines (he’s my vice captain). It’s a good option and could pay off handsomely. It’s almost a coin flip for me but I captained Ivanovic last week so I think I need to play it safe this week!
September 29 at 11:21 am
Ryan says:
No way is Baines (with no cleanie) a better bet than RVP. RVP leads the attack!
September 29 at 11:25 am
tw says:
never captained a defender?? well ther’es always time for a first!
. i’m 80% with you. have to make up my mind though…
September 29 at 11:18 am
Nitin Nagaraja says:
Right, gotta go now. Can’t believe I’m banking on Suarez.
Good luck, everybody(except Sean). Ciao!
September 29 at 11:20 am
Evs says:
Whose your cap Nitin?
September 29 at 11:20 am
Nitin Nagaraja says:
RVP.
September 29 at 11:20 am
Evs says:
Over baines?
September 29 at 11:26 am
Optimus says:
southhampton will score..your relying on baines attacking points..not out of the question but not for me
rvp(c) baines (vc)
September 29 at 11:30 am
Evs says:
Ahhh… I’m getting more and more torn !
September 29 at 11:30 am
Optimus says:
but go with your gut dont blame me
September 29 at 11:29 am
Evs says:
Just switched to RVP at 11:29am
September 29 at 11:19 am
Ryan says:
Final call
Davies (sto) (Chico is back so the Swans defence may be all good)
or
Demel (qpr)
September 29 at 11:22 am
Van The Man(Formerly Yash) says:
Davies Ryan!
September 29 at 11:23 am
Ryan says:
Yeah it’s looking like that will be the choice. Its against my original decision but with Chico back and perhaps the desire to fix the leaky defence it could be the right option. Also I don’t rate Stoke attack, even at home
September 29 at 11:27 am
Van The Man(Formerly Yash) says:
I guess we are the only ones who think so. Hope SWA do the job!
September 29 at 11:32 am
Ryan says:
Hopefully it goes well. I’m fairly sure QPR will score against an increasingly leaky Hammers defence
September 29 at 11:23 am
Evs says:
… Plus Britton. Massive difference.
Davies, but hard one.
September 29 at 11:22 am
tw says:
should i start rafa or gibbs ahead of saylor or cueller?
captain baines ba or fletch?
September 29 at 11:27 am
Van The Man(Formerly Yash) says:
With such a good defence, you should be playing 4 at the back. Especially after that GW in which defenders did so well. But i would go with Gibbs for Saylor as Reading are playing at home.
September 29 at 11:30 am
tw says:
what would you change then?
bego
baines, cueller, saylor
cazorla, hba, bale, pienaar
ba, fletcher, lambert
bench: foster gibbs, rafa, michu
September 29 at 11:31 am
Van The Man(Formerly Yash) says:
Told you. Play Gibbs instead of Saylor! Don’t blame me if NEW keep a CS then!
Rest looks good. I would go with Fletcher captain!
September 29 at 11:33 am
tw says:
thanks for the advice. i took your 4 at the back advice. went all in and put rafa in for lambert and captained baines
September 29 at 11:28 am
GreenWindmill says:
Posted my thoughts last page re: defence.
I’d captain Baines out of those choices.
September 29 at 11:31 am
tw says:
saw it, thanks! i went all or nothing and put rafa in for lambert and captained baines
September 29 at 11:26 am
Optimus says:
well so this is where the cool kids are hanging out
September 29 at 11:26 am
Ryan says:
Yeah at the gambling table
September 29 at 11:28 am
