The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 4

We target a trio of players with plum home matches on their agendas this weekend in our attempt to get the better of Paddy.

Our first stop is at Selhurst Park as Neil Warnock prepares for the first home match of his second stint at the helm. Having grabbed a late equaliser off the bench in the last Gameweek, Wilfried Zaha looks poised for a start as Palace entertain promoted Burnley, and with Paddy offering 8/1 on Zaha to score and the hosts to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to throw £3 their way.

Next up we head to St Mary’s, where Ronald Koeman’s side go in search of their first home win of the season. The Saints’ 3-1 victory at West Ham in the previous Gameweek certainly suggests they are finding their form, and with a goal in each of his last two in all competitions, Graziano Pelle has caught the eye. Paddy are offering 16/1 on Pelle to score two or more against Newcastle and the Saints to chalk up a second clean sheet in succession in front of their own supporters – we fancy a punt on this one and shell out another £3.

We leave our final £4 for Liverpool’s Anfield clash with Villa. The absence of Daniel Sturridge will be sorely felt by the Merseysiders and instantly hands Mario Balotelli the chance to shine in front of his own supporters – with Paddy willing to offer 6/1 on Balotelli to score two or more goals and Brendan Rodgers’ side to bag a clean sheet, we place our faith in the Italian and make this our bet of the week.

    2. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good.

    3. il Brutto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Never bench Siggy is the only advice needed.

    4. Manamongst
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes I have a similar team, that is a tough decison between zaha and siggy.

      Looks strong overall.

      1. GoldenDonkey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Team looks good to go! Good luck.

  2. Chris_White

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you buy

    Costa or Balotelli?

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa

    2. nedfoo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa

    3. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      costa

    4. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Both but Costa if one

    5. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa

    6. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa, long term thinking.

    7. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tough call as chelsea fixtures don't look great and costa is rumored to be injured every weekend. Still edges it though until balotelli starts banging them in.

    8. Ash_195
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa

    9. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers fellas, Balotelli obviously the gamble here so maybe just better to play it safe this week

  3. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So hazard captain ahead of costa is this weekends last minute temptation....

    1. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      crikey I don't envy that choice! If I had to I'd go costa

  4. Sean.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Ramsey > Tadic, mad ?
    those fixtures 4 home in the next 6
    NEW swa QPR tot SUN STO
    The saving allows me Eriksen >Hazard in 2 weeks with a defensive tweak

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not mad. I'm on my wc but I've gone ramsey to Gerrard

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would not do that. On any terms.

      1. Sean.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking Walcott GW8

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I will have both. And Welbeck.

  5. il Brutto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fab (C) anyone?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sensible. Appearance, CS, assist, possible bonus points.

    2. Ash_195
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      maybe Fabregas

      idk weather over costa???

  6. nedfoo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Costa or Rooney captain?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney

  7. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone reckon Bojan will play?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Possible rather than probable but probably not taht well. I sold him for Ulloa.

    2. Adro3
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nah. I got rid of him this week. Sick missing out on the points

    3. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Possible, last chance for me before I swap for welbeck

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Same. They have good fixtures so he might get a run

  8. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What odds on Swans cleansheet at The Bridge doth you quoteth me ?

    😉

    1. BLACKSHEEP
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      15%?

      1. BLACKSHEEP
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        20%?

    2. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      7/1

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Decent. Not a betting man but they're defence is decent. Flappyhandski is doing well. They haven't played quality yet though.

  9. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Hazard start? Or rested?

    1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Expect him to start but never know what Jose is going to do

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Start, I think.

    3. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Start

    4. vova
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      should start, don't see why he would be rested

  10. raheemsterling

      Hazard

    2. EmreCan Hustle

      Sterling.

    3. Ash_195

      sterling

    4. Heytch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard,

      But that name

    5. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling

  11. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lost on last page...

    Took a 4-pointer to get this team... riddled with injuries.

    Krul
    Lovren / Terry / C.Davies
    Ramsey / Sigurdsson / Sterling(C) / Fabregas
    Costa / Rooney / Naismith

    Subs: Foster / Hutton / Moore / Albrighton

    Got 2m in the bank. Good to go? Captaincy is between Sterling and Rooney for me... Have I made the right choice

    OK, back to Sterling (c). Tough call this week I think. He's bang in form.

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Nice. My only concern is that Villa will make it tough for them.

  16. NATSTER

    A or B or C ?

    A: Di Maria + Pelle + Naismith

    The currency might be a bit shaky next week.

    1. BLACKSHEEP
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's already dropped a lot!

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Very little, a penny in the pound. Will bounce back cos yer tied to Merkel and her band of merry men.

    @Arvin.. i found the demo on the store . sony entertainment store. the main page. cant miss it really. lemme know your opinion bout the demo. Considerin the apparently brilliant next gen versions i think i'm just gonna skip it on the ps3. dont wanna pay 3000bucks for a watered down version.

  21. Backonthecoupon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Chances of Agero being rested today with Bayern in midweek? Its a big risk given the opposition.

    He was rested before City's first 2/3 CL fixtures last year but played in the matches before all the rest.

  22. Calamity Cole
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Puncheon

    1. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I decided on Zaha instead, which means Puncheon will score today 🙁

  23. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 14 Years

    Best combo

    A fabs and falcao
    B di aria and costa

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Fabs and Costa until we see at least in one game that United is not a mess...

  24. There's Always One!
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Play Mannone or kurl?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd go Krul

      1. Ash_195

        kurl

    Thoughts...

    Unless something weird happens, I will end up doing the Mata > Sterling transfer once GW5 starts, but is it worth a 4 point hit this morning?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No

      1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…

        do u think he will play?

    2. Calamity Cole

      Will mata even play?

      1. blacky7475
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I guess that's my question, if he plays I have no problem sticking, if he doesn't it may be worth twisting.

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          i think he will be dropped with rooney playing in behind rvp / falcao... your call obviously....

    3. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i did it

    4. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I've taken a hit this week, with Sterling being the guy to hopefully claw back the deficit.

      Mata's place in the current Utd line-up looks well under threat.

  28. fantasyfanatic2016
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Best defender for £6m???

    1. Heytch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Still Vertonghen IMO. Will come good

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking of choosing Vert when I use wildcard, Spurs will be tighter than in the last game.

    2. Hiphopopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure. I can't seem to look past the £5m and below lot (Bertrand, Pieters, Janmaart, Trippier & PVA). Except for Baines.

  29. Hiphopopotamus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I have the Wonga to upgrade Janmaat to Baines - is he worth the extra £1.9m?

    Rest of team is strong, no other Newcastle or Everton.

    I like having money in the bank, so don't mind saving it for a rainy day.

  30. pressdpm
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Isn't a costa captain too risky? What if he comes on for 15 mins

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Agree

    2. mookie

      9 years, 8 months ago

      i thin it is

      1. mookie
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        *think

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yes, too risky at least for my taste

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        But think he's gonna play 70 min after all...
