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.

    Hi everyone. So I have 2 free transfers but i dont need to make a transfer this week. Would i still get a free transfer next week or ... would it just disappear/?

    1. Toonzie

      • 11 Years

      it will disappear

    2. johnbarnes
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      you'd still have 2FT. You would've wasted a transfer. Use it to sort out 5th mid or rotation GK.

      Why?

  5. cogs
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    All good?

    McCarthy

    Baines, Clyne, Dawson

    Di maria, Sterling, Fabregas, Siggy

    Aguero, Costa, Berahino

    Begovic / N.Taylor, Boyd, Duff

    Baines (C) If Aguero doesnt start, bit of a punt

    1. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      great team g2g

  6. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Transfers to make?

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Clyne PvA Chambers Moreno Moore
    Silva Fabregas Sterling Hazard Sigurdsson
    Welbeck Sakho Costa

    2FT, 0.3 ITB

    1. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      tbh i dont think you need a strong midfield 5 unless u plan to go 352 most of the time

      can u do welbeck or sakho to aguero and silva to boyd?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Do you think its worth doing Sakho and Silva > Obertan and Kun?

        1. johnbarnes
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Imo, the one to go should be Welbeck - not Sakho.

          1. NATSTER
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Welbeck has sun and BUR next week.

            I'd ditch Sakho.

          2. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Oh wait I made a mistake, I would prefer Sakho as well for sure but the thing is that I can not afford the transfer either way

            1. Toonzie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              yea if tt's the case it's a decision for u to make if u want aguero

              1. Nice to Finally Michu
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                I think I might have to go without at least for the week unfortunately.

    2. johnbarnes
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Silva>Boyd
      Welbeck>Aguero

      or Silva>Eriksen
      Welbeck>Pellé

      or just Welbeck>Pellé

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure i'd want Pelle over Welbeck tbh, if i'm getting in a striker at all this week I think it would have to be Kun. Unfortunately i'm a little short of being able to do the first move you suggested

    3. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Welbeck ➡ Aguero, and Silva ➡ Obertan sounds fair.

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Can't afford it unfortunately, just a little short of being able to do so

    4. Nobodinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Fabregas or Hazard to someone else?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm i'm not sure about that, Haz and Fab seem to be picking up form and they've both been pretty consistent. Not sure i'd want to get rid

        1. Nobodinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Hmm, Silva instead? Someone has to be sacrificed if you want to get Kun, but I think you can't get him this week.

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah me neither, do you think I should just do PvA to Dummet this week and then see what happens next week with 2FTs in the bank again?

            1. Nobodinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Ok also. You lost your faith for PvA? I activated my WC this week, not sure if I should get rid of him or not.

    5. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Costa ➡ Kun
      Silva ➡ Chadli/Tadic/Boyd

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'm thinking this i'm just not sure i'd want to get rid of Costa

      2. MG7
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        the more i m holding onto costa...the more difficult it gets to get in aguero.

  7. Saniul
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go?

    Begovic
    Hutton - Clyne - Moreno
    Sterling - Sigurdsson (vc) - ADM - Tadic
    Costa - Aguero (c) - Welbeck

    Hamer - van Aanholt - Davis - Coloccini.

    I'm saving this week anyway.

    1. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yea good to go!

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, G2G.

      Just one thing that I'm preferred Davis as first sub rather than PvA.
      Be prepared In case Costa doesn't make it.

  8. Keno
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Start Taylor or Wisdom?

    1. SOOnami
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Taylor due to Leicster cant score

  9. Inferno
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Begovic (Myhill)
    Baine Clyne Wisdom (Hutton Duff )
    Sterling Haz Siggy ADM (Mane)
    Pelle Costa Welbeck

    A) ADM to Eriksen
    B) Begovic to Foster
    C) Both for -4
    D) Save FT

    ?

    1. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Save your FT.

      1. Inferno
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Tempted by B more than anything else. Bego's fixtures look terrible.

        1. Saniul
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Well, you could do that next week as well, if you don't find anything to do with one of your FTs.

          1. Inferno
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Fair point. Allows for maneuverability. Just hate to captain players against my keeper and will likely do so with Pelle.

    2. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      D .. I'd save it for handling any problem next week.

      B .. isn't urgent and doesn't guarantee better points.
      A .. looks good, but ADM is not bad for this week.

      1. Inferno
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks Nat. You reckon ADM will be in the points in the next 2?

        1. NATSTER
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I think it depends on Chelsea more than United. If Jose choose park the bus and counter, it'd be 2 points for ADM.

  10. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is it right to play both Ivan & ADM and put Moreno to the bench ?

    Forster
    Clyne - Ivan - Naylor
    Fab - Sterling - Siggy - ADM
    Pelle - Kun - Welbeck
    Sub: Boyd, Moreno, Moore

    1. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes sir, it is.

  11. SpicyItalian22
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is it good or bad if I have Clyne and Bertrand in the same team?

    1. johnbarnes
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It has certainly been good.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good if they are getting CS.

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It's worked well for Koeman.

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Its been good so far.

    5. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good ... from the owner of Clyne and Forster.

  12. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Why are some people suggesting Aguero may not start. Pellegrini was pisses after CSKA and will want a strong performance. Chelsea-Utd is a decent time to reduce the gap between them and Chelsea, plus Aguero can have a rest midweek. Surely he'll start?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He will start. Don't listen to those who say he won't, they're non owners trying to convince themselves.

    2. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Oh is that the latest rumor?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, and its really annoying.

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      no worries..city is not in a position to bench aguero..they cannot afford anymore slip up..and westham is a half decent team

    4. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He will start for sure

  13. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Transfer this week was Costa > Pelle.
    Plan was to double up on Haz and Fab next WK but with Costa's double price drop I can now afford to bring him back for Pelle next week if I choose.
    Yes or no?

    The trouble with getting Hazard is Im reluctant to sell Sterling or ADM for him atm..

    1. johnbarnes
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      no, you shouldn't even consider getting rid of Pellé before gw13. I'd sell ADM for Hazard, although they're both class picks.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, I probably will stick to my original plan. See what unfolds this week.

  14. VICTORIOUS SECRET! !
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What can be done here

    De gea

    Wilson / Taylor / Hutton

    Fabregas / di Maria / sigurdsson / sterling

    Aguero / pelle / welbeck

    ( myhill / duff / albrighton / wisdom )

    1 ft 0.8 in the bank
    Suggestions please

    1. johnbarnes
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson>Bertrand.

      1. VICTORIOUS SECRET! !
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        0.1 short

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Alderwirld

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have Wilson and want rid.
      I have to choose between Wilson, Duff and Moore.
      Currently on duff.
      So if I were u I would play Wisdom over Wilson or transfer out Wilson and play your replacement.

  15. mccormibar
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy

    Naylor Bertrand Baines

    Hazard Tadic Siggy Sterling

    Costa Aguero (C) Welbeck

    Krul Boyd Moore Wilson 0.0 in bank

    Saving free transfer this week and doing Naylor + Siggy to Hutton + Barkley next week is this wise?

  16. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Not sure if Agüero is the best captaincy option....

    1. johnbarnes
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      why?

      1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cuz somehow I feel, the week when everyone caps him, he'll blank...just a feeling

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      i think aguero and pelle are similar chance..hope both of them do well

  17. jogabonito191
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Start Schneiderlin or Dyer?!

    1. Nobodinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dyer imo

    2. aWhisperer
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dyer!

  18. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Tempted to captain Berahino but KUN potential haul is scarring the shit out of me.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Its the same with Siggy for me.

  19. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Berahino (C) madness?

    No Kun... Other candidates are Sterling, Costa and Siggy

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If u have no KUN, then Berahino

    2. Dier Straits
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It's not madness. if you don't have Aguero and Costa is out, it looks like a fine decision imo.

    3. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd (c) Sterling if I didn't have Aguero.

    4. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      no kun no pelle? good luck man. go for siggy imo..or sterling if u believe pool will suddenly get on form which i doubt so

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I have Pelle but I have a feeling Stoke will troll and get a 0-0

    5. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Berahino sounds good.

    6. nibby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yup

  20. Dier Straits

    I can't believe all the people who have Aguero who are second guessing C'ing him, especially if you brought him in this week.

      Wham ain't that bad team though.

        True.
        Before last week though City hadn't scored at home if I'm not mistaken and West Ham have given up the same amount road/home.
        Maybe I'm the crazy one, but if I had him I'd for sure C him if I had him. To each their own though.

        But as a group I'm not that impressed - gorge Michael did everything and andrew ridgeli was just looking pretty.
