The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 5

We target a trio of players who all found the net in the previous Gameweek in our attempt to get the better of Paddy this weekend.

Our first match is at St James’ Park as out-of-sorts Newcastle prepare for the visit of Hull City. The Magpies have now conceded three times in each of their last two league matches and their porous defence looks there for the taking – having scored on his debut, we’re backing Abel Hernandez to heap further misery on Alan Pardew later today. With Paddy offering 11/1 on the Uruguayan to score two or more goals and for the Tigers to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to throw £3 their way.

Next up we head to the King Power Stadium, as Louis van Gaal’s United attempt to maintain the momentum gained from last weekend’s win over QPR. The Red Devils have now served up a shut-out in each of their last two league fixtures, and with Paddy offering 11/2 on Angel di Maria to score and for the visitors to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to stick another £3 on this one.

Our final bet is kept for White Hart Lane, where Spurs are set to welcome struggling West Brom. Nacer Chadli’s strike at Sunderland took his tally to three goals in as many appearances, and with Paddy willing to offer 11/2 on the Belgian to score and Tottenham to pick up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the week and shelling out our final £4.

    1FT and 0.4 itb, what to do with this lot:

    Krul

    Dier / Ivan / Duff

    Sterling / Chadli / Ramsey / Fabregas

    Costa / Aguero(C) / Naismith

    (Siggy, Vlaar, Wisdom, Elliot)

    Thoughts appreciated!

      Nothing. Looks good - keep the free transfer.

    Tempted by Chadli captain. In form, rested mid-week, good fixture, and not many others going for him. Am I mad?!

    1. Think Tank

      Have him as VC (which I guess is sitting on the fence)

      Just worried by lack of 90 mins

        Lack of 90 hasn't stopped him hitting big points in the 60 minutes he's played previously. And he was rested mid-week whereas others weren't.

        As below, yolo, I'm going for it.

    - Wayne Rooney has scored in all (2) of his EPL league appearances against Leicester
    - Leicester have just netted one goal in their last eight EPL matches against Manchester United

    Just seen the guy currently no.1 in the FFS league scored over 100 points last week with Ferdinard and Bojan playing. 😯 No more excuses from me about certain players ruining my team 😆

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 12 Years

      He's only 61 points ahead of me! I can catch up, right? 😉

    Not sure about Costa for captain this week. Can see Mourinho wheeling out the bus. I'm thinking Siggie (very good at home) or Sterling. Would have gone for Rooney but am stuck with Welbeck and Balo. Thoughts?
