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.

    After his price rise earlier today, banking the 0.1 profit, I'm doing the unthinkable...

      2captains blunder, u wanna make that 3? 😆

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

    HELP URGENT
    Hart (Myhill)
    Iva Hutton Chambers (Kompany Coloccini)
    Larsson Chadli Ramsey Sigurdsson (Silva)
    Falcao Naismith DC

    1. Benching Silva madness?
    2. Who to captain?
    3. any thoughts?

    1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      1. Play Silva over Larsson
      2. :/
      3. :\

  20. Rambo Motin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rooney or Costa (C) and why?

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

      Costa.

      7 goals in 4 games.

      City defence conceded 4 already in the league and shipped 2 last week to Arsenal.

  21. Voice of the Mysterons
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Welbeck to Rooney and Stirling tomChadli a good move?

  22. boredjames
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Falcao to Ronney is a knee jerk and a waste of a transfer ...isnt it?

    1. klisis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same thought

      1. boredjames
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Demi has Falcao starting. But i need a captain and I dont trust Falcao to do so.

        1. klisis
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't captain falcao since he has proved nothing in EPL.

  23. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years

    Best Keeper to have for 5.0 or less?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah Forster.

      Cheers all, pretty conclusive then!

  27. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Game theory question:

    My only bench candidates for the week are tadic(swa) and fab (mci)

    Now I think tadic has a bit better odds for points, and bookies agree, but tadic has 2% ownership and fab over 45% - so should I go with fab playing or tadic playing?

    1. klisis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      tadic bench is reasonable. chelsea mid is solid

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

      Fab

    3. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You have a better chance of gaining rank if Tadic gets points. But if Fab gets a haul you're fecked

      But Tadic has better odds for points as you said, so by logic, pick him

      1. Lord Flashheart

  28. Kazza_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    @ inssie mate are you getting aguero on ur wildcard? just think he will be good captain choice in few weeks?

    1.Chjadli + aguero
    2. ADM + welbeck/pelle

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nope, no Aguero for me, but I'll be able to get him in if I want to within the next couple of weeks.

      I'd choose 2 with Pelle from those options.

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

        thanks mate
