The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 2

In our second attempt to get the better of Paddy this season, we target a trio of players who are set to entertain one of the promoted sides over the weekend. Tenner in hand, we place our faith in Chelsea, Tottenham and Swansea and hope all three can take advantage of home comforts.

Like many Fantasy managers this weekend, we’re pinning our hopes on Diego Costa for Chelsea’s home encounter with Leicester. The runaway leader of this week’s Captain Poll netted on his debut at Burnley on Monday evening and with Paddy offering 9/2 on Costa to score two or more and the Blues to deliver a clean sheet, we’re prepared to make this our bet of the week and throw £4 of our tenner their way.

We fancy Swansea’s chances of heaping further misery on The Clarets as Sean Dyche’s side roll up to the Liberty. While much of this week’s Fantasy attention has surrounded Gylfi Sigurdsson, we’re opting for Wilfried Bony to do the damage – Paddy are willing to offer 16/1 for Bony to score two or more and the Swans to chalk up a shut-out and we’re more than willing to throw £3 their way and back the Ivorian to open his account for the season.

Our final flutter takes us to White Hart Lane as Spurs prepare for the visit of former manager Harry Redknapp’s QPR. Mauricio Pochettino chose to rest a number of his first-team players for the midweek Europa League win over AEL and amongst those handed the night off was Christian Eriksen. The Dane will be fully refreshed for Sunday’s encounter and with Paddy offering 5/1 on an Eriksen goal and Spurs clean sheet, we part with our remaining £3.

          Having weighed it up myself I've gone with Bony. Whereas Bony only has 1 fixture where he looks unlikely to score, Ade has a couple of tricky fixtures and may easily lose his starting place to an arguably more inform Soldado

      Young is on my bench this week, but counter attacking away at Sunderland could be prosperous for him. I question his game time though with Valencia set to return. Siggy has a good fixture at home to burnley and even with just an assist he has made up the -4. I'd go for it.

      I've got Krul and Hutton in that one. Hoping for a boring 0-0 🙂

        Hutton or Dummet? Hoping for 0-0 too but who do you think's more likely to keep a cleansheet?

          Villa I guess because they are at home.

      I'll be watching Ipswich - Norwich instead I think.

    Who do you guys think will score the highest this week? I'm going to be boring and say Costa. Leicester are going to attack against Chelsea which probably won't turn out too well for them!

    Costa Rooney Sturridge

    a) save transfer to next wk
    b) Blackett to Clyne
    c) Young to JWP
    d) do b&c, 4pt hit

      Young to JWP could be a tidy choice.

    In a way, I'm glad Mata changed last night while I wasn't paying attention. means that I'm not tempted to transfer him out tonight just to save the 0.1

        it was going to happen, but it was looking like it might be tonight and not last night which is a big difference.

    FT was on B.Davies > Clyne which gives me:

    Bego
    Caulker // Clyne // C.Davies
    Cesc // Mata // Sig // Sterling
    Costa (c) // Giroud // Rooney

    Krul // PvA // Chambers // Albrighton

    Everything in order and g2g?

    Cheers
