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.

    Chelseas odds drifting very slightly on betfair, maybe a few insiders know Costa out?

          Befair normally correct

            That could easily be bookies laying off liability too. For a Premier League game involving a market perceived "huge" favorite, there is not that much money going on until the price hits 1.32. It could well be that bookies are willing to sacrifice a little profit to lock up a win.

    If I had never logged on to FPLscout Sterling would be my Captain right now # bibtheory

      Bib Theory is irrelvant, Balotelli doesn't do bibs

      I logged onto FFS and Sterling is my captain.

        You're a better man than I.

    Is Balotelli a captain risk?

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      hes recovering from Ebola according to Rodgers

      Put that in block capitals, 30 font , and read it back 😉

    3. It's only Carlton Cole…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Everyone is a captain risk, but if I had Bali I would captain him

    Captain:

    Costa
    Hazard

    ?

    1. BantamPhil

      Hazard

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

    I'm happy with my squad but can't decide who to bench. Do I play 3 or 4 at the back this week?

    Kurl

    Lovren------Ivan---------Pieters

    Zaha ---------Ben Arfa-------Sterling-------Rambo

    Falcao-------Costa-------Welbeck

    Current Bench - Siggy----Bertrand-----Colocicini

    not sure if I should play Rambo or Bertrand or perhaps, Bertrand > Welbeck

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

      Never bench Siggy, unless injured...

  6. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Ivanovic captain madness? 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 games. Can see him giving Neil Taylor nightmares down that right hand side

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

      Not madness.

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

        But beware it could easily backfire.

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

      Not madness, but a complete punt. I have him too. Sterling captain.

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

      I like this punt...risky though...

  7. Pickled Avenger

    I've used my WC and found myself going all out stoke. I've a feeling this could be a mistake!!!!

    1. joinho
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Always a mistake

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

      Just Shawcross, unless you also like Begovic. Look at Forster.

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

    Do we think Boyd will definitely start?

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

      he's the template 5th mid, he has to

    2. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yep

  9. gtf
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Captain decision...

    What if Costa only comes on gor 10 mins?
    What if Falcao doesn't start?

    Should I opt for some one who is guarenteed 90 mins?

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

      For short term benefits, yes!

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

    Would you start PvA or Moore over Kelly?

    1. gtf
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      im torn between PvA and Moore.

      Think I'm going to go with Moore. Stoke don't scoe many goals.

  11. BayerNevaLusen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone want to try and talk me out of doing Fletcher ---> Pelle for a hit? Southampton have scored 9 goals in the past 4 games against Newcastle and I would be surprised if any of my bench players get more then 2 points. Surely its a no brainer??

    1. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Fletcher to someone for a hit is fine, but not sure I would go Pelle. Think I'd rather have Welbeck long term

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

        Not worth having Welbeck until Gw 8 onwards. Pelle has the fixtures.

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

      I can only talk you out of it for a selfish reason... I want to do better than everyone else...

  12. Vardy Gras PBFC
    • 10 Years

    Drop one - Chester, Vergini, Debuchy.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Vergini

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

        Ta.

  13. boyler
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Wats all this about sterling not starting ?

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

      Nowt.

  14. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Should I start Mahrez before Ramsey or Siggy? 🙂 I really have good feeling about him

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

      No I wouldn't

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

      No.

  15. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Heaton (Burnley) totally nailed on, or is he under threat from Gilks?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Gilks is the 2nd GK with most chances for start

      1. FPL Emu
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        And how relevant are those chances do you think?

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          25% 😀

    2. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's nailed

      1. FPL Emu
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. You're not a Burnley fan or knower by any chance? Thinking of getting Heaton

  16. Ash_195

    janmaat to lovren???

    i am not convinced with janmaat

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

      Lovren then.

  17. Rossman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    It's a roll of the dice maybe....but who to captain??

    Costa (does he play?!)
    Falcao
    Balotelli

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

      Pick a number between 100 and 300.

  18. united68
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Shaw play 60 mins?

  19. YuvalSpurs
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who should I take instead of Jovetic (-4)?

    1)Pelle
    2)Naismith
    3)Welbeck

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

      Pelle

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

      Pelle for short term, but Wellbeck for longer term. I have a feeling that Wellbeck could come good in the short term as well...

  20. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I want to captain Balotelli but my nerves wouldn't stand it 😀

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

      If I had him I'd captain him... Which probably means you shouldn't!

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

      😆

  21. TINO TINO GIVE US A WAVE
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Moreno or lovren??

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

      Lovren for 5.4 tomorrow...?

  22. Doctor X
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hey guys.

    Who should VC? Hazard or Pelle?

  23. Dvorak-RTH
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bench one
    Siggy henderson naismith...?

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

      Henderson

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

        +42.

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

    Which strikes more fear into the heart of your defence:

    The Belg-Italian combo of Mirallas and Balotelli...

    Or the Anglo-Belgian pairing of Sterling and Lukaku?

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

      I prefer the Anglo-Italian combo personally...

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

        Too pricey.

  25. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    @BenDinnery: Aaron Ramsey WILL be included in the #AFC match-day squad to face #MCFC at the Emirates today

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

      noice

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

      Hope in the Starting XI as well.

      1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        he has been passed fit, so therefore will start

  26. prich
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsey or Welbeck?

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

      They're different positions, impossible to compare without knowing who the other players would be in each scenario.

    2. There's Always One!
      • 14 Years

      I went welbeck because I needed the money

  27. Demelbrush
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    best leicester defender to get?

  28. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rooney v Sterling for the armband, so little to chose IMO

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

      Form

  29. Deano
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Captain:

    A. Balotelli

    B. RVP
