The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 9

This week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy sees us call upon the services of West Brom’s young goal hero, while we also turn to the Tottenham and Everton midfields ahead of clashes with Newcastle and Burnley respectively.

West Brom’s home encounter with Crystal Palace brings Saido Berahino into our thoughts this week. The youngster’s goal against Man United last Monday took his tally to five strikes in four appearances at The Hawthorns this season, and with the Eagles set to be without both their first-choice centre-halves this weekend, he looks poised to get amongst the goals once again. Paddy are offering a hefty 18/1 on Berahino to score twice and the Baggies to keep out their opponents and we’re willing to shell out £3 for this one.

Next up, we head to the Lane, where Tottenham prepare to take on Newcastle. We’re backing the in-form Christian Eriksen as Spurs look to recover from their Etihad mauling – the Dane has scored three times in the last five, and with Paddy prepared to offer 8/1 on Eriksen to score and the hosts to chalk up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the week and hand over £4.

Finally, we place our faith in fit-again Ross Barkley as Everton roll up to Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon. As the treatment room empties, the Toffees are starting to find their domestic form and face a Clarets side that have leaked nine goals in their last three. Paddy are offering 8/1 on Barkley to score and an Everton clean sheet and we’re convinced enough to part company with our final £3.

    Krul (Mannone)

    Tadic - Di Maria - Sigurdsson - Sterling (JWP)

    Costa - Aguero - Naismith

  9. Wouter

    Baines, Hazard or Aguero captain?

    Feel like Hazard may be the choice this week for some reason.

    Should I take a hit for a goalie?

    Begovic + Krul rotation is officially broken. The best possible rotation with them untill the Jan WC is protty much the worst possible:
    tot, WHM, wba, QPR, whm, bur, ARS, cpa, SUN, eve, WBA

    Should I take a -4 hit to change Begovic (whose schedule is the real problem) to:

    A) Guzan, who has the better long term rotation with Krul, frees up 0.4 mil
    qpr, TOT, wba, BUR, bur, LEI, wba, SUN, swa, SUN, CPA

    B) Foster, who has the better short term rotation with Krul, frees up 0.5 mil
    CPA, lei, NEW, QPR, whm, WHM, BUR, AVL, SUN, mun, sto

    C) Sczecesny, who has an awesome rotation with Krul, but ties up 0.4 mil.
    sun, BUR, wba, QPR, wba, bur, sto, NEW, SUN, QPR, whm

    Additionally, Arsenal has so far conceded quite a few goals, BUT that's a bit deceiving as they have conceded the least goal attempts so far, fewer than Chelsea and Southampton and their schedule has been quite tough so far.

    I know that you probably should not take hits for goalies, but I believe that the expected point output of any of the combinations will quite easily cover those four points. I'd probably go to Szcezny, but the 0.9 mil tied up really worries me, especially as I need to manouver to bring in Costa later on.

    Fun fact which Mourinho will like. Manchester United have used 30 different players this season so far. That is a Premier League record for the opening 8 games
