The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 7

Our quest to get the better of Paddy sees us turn to a couple of in-form budget Fantasy forwards, whilst Chelsea’s former Gunners skipper also comes into consideration as the two go head-to-head at the Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

Leicester’s home encounter with Burnley brings Leonardo Ulloa onto our radar. The Argentine has netted in every match in front of his own supporters in the league, and with Paddy willing to offer 16/1 on Ulloa to score two or more and the Foxes to keep out their opponents, we’re willing to fork out £3, bearing in mind that Burnley have failed to score in the last five Gameweeks.

Next up is Upton Park, where the Hammers’ Diafra Sakho is looking to score for the fifth successive match in all competitions. Paddy are offering 25/1 for the Senegal star to score two or more and West Ham to register a clean sheet – with the R’s scoring just once in three road trips, we shell out £3 for the Sunday afternoon encounter.

Our bet of the week is kept for Stamford Bridge, where league leaders Chelsea play host to Arsenal. Paddy are offering 7/1 on Cesc Fabregas to score and the Blues to register a clean sheet – we reckon the Spaniard could follow the recent exploits of Frank Lampard and come back to haunt his former club ,so hand over our remaining £4.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Have to play atleast 1 sot def bcoz i have wisdom who is unavailable.

        What are the odds on Sot keeping a cleanie?

    Is Alexis likely to start on the sidelines against Chelsea given that he could still be recovering from the assault he was victim of on Wednesday?

    any ufpl wizards out there? is it worth forking out much earned points if i have a full bench? im thinking of getting silva in for ramsey for -4. it would mean i wouldnt need to field cattermole. not sure its worth it given i have 7 good options on the bench. suggestions?

  13. Nabs Kebabs

    lads am i good to go?

    Forster

    2. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years

      Like the captain but would play Clyne over Wilson

    3. Warning Hazard ahead
      • 9 Years

      Nice, can you fund Wilson ---> Baines or Ivan? That's about all I'd do.

    1. Start Welbeck
    2. Do Marney to Silva (-4) and bench Datguy

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years

      1

    2. A guy
      • 9 Years

      lol there's no question, we all know Silva is not a consistent points collecter, not worth the hit.

    Balotelli - Aguero for (-4)?
    Have been banking on Balo coming good but he just gets worse and worse. Seems criminal to get rid of him at home to WBA though

    1. Waldaz

    2. Stoic Creme
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If you get rid of him he will score a hat trick, so sell him now so Liverpool win a game...

  18. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Start

    A) Chester

    B) Clyne

    Ps: have Forster in goal

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      a just incase he gets a run.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        What if he comes on from bench though?

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          probably worth the risk. could still play 60 mins and cs

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      a

  19. Stoic Creme
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    yes get rid of him, that way he is guaranteed to score a hat trick

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      agreed.

  20. A guy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I have serious doubts about captaining Costa...Probably won't play the whole 90 minutes, he might not even start and I'm thinking it's about time for Falcao to bang in some. Anyone else in the same boat?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      nope, just you. Aguero instead of Falcao though....

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd captain Falcao.

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You just made up the doubts in your head

      1. A guy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks for clearing it up...Now I'm captaining Costa and infroming you that my captain choice hasn't been right yet this season 🙂

    4. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That's not a boat. It's a rubber tube

    5. Hiphopopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on that voyage myself Gregor - have currently got Costa as my (C). I would captain Sterling instead but he might be a bit leggy, and could even be rested / not play the whole 90 (stranger things have happened). I have Falcao, and I agree, he's due. Maybe we flip a coin...

  21. Qubit
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard or Welbeck?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Haz not close

      1. Qubit

        Cheers - even if I have Costa and Fabs as well?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Ooh, then i'd probably play Welbz - and drop one of Haz / Fabs. TOUGH call tho.

        2. A guy
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          bench some defenders, play them all

  22. teddy.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Play Duff, Clyne or Chambers?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      clyne

    2. crushro
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Clyne - I have the three and he is my only starter

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years

      Clyne

    How much of a risk is captaining Ulloa❓

      im very tempted to do it over Costa.. havent fully decided yet.

      Tough call this week I think. Ulloa is quite a good, logical choice.

      Risky but could reap rewards. How did you get that question mark?!

      A bit of a risk for sure, saw their game against us and Ulloa was so ineffective, just sat in Delaneys pocket all game 🙂

    Ulloa captainers. I know Burnley fell apart last week but are you unconcerned about Burnleys history of 0-0's?

      Marney and Jones are still out though so think it'll be another killing

      Lack of players who organise and shore up the mf. I'm concerned it will be a goalless, obviously I don't own Ulloa

      Wasn't that when they had a fully fit squad to choose from though?

      Last week they had key players missing, like this week. And they got battered. That's the benchmark you need to consider, not the three prior to that.

    Bego
    Ivanovic-Clyne-PvA
    Sterling-Fabregas-Tadic-Siggy
    Costa(V)-Aguero(C)-Ulloa

    Subs: McGregor, Wisdom, Janmaat, King

    Am i good to go? Got one free transfer and 1,4 mil in the bank. Both Ivanovic and Clyne got pretty tought fixtures and PvA and Bego are facing eachother :/

    Totally f***ed up my season last night.

    Went to do 2 xfrs and by some means that I still don't know how it activated my wildcard. Wasn't planning on using it yet. Anyway, whats done is done now so here goes:

    Schmeichel, Foster
    Baines, PvA, Moore, Wilson, Clyne
    Tadic, Fabs, Dyer, Boyd, Gerrard
    Ulloa, Aguero, Costa

    Enough in bank to do Ulloa to Welbz for next GW.

    What a flippin mess my season has been!

      Like it all, except for Gerrard - stick with Sterling IMO

      Gerrard doesn't make much sense. How about Alexis instead?

        Alternatively Sturridge over Aguero.
