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.

    If you had Sanchez would you captain him?

    Or is it safer on Pelle?

    1. 5678
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Safer on Pelle.

      Don't trust Wenger at all

      Good week to captain Sanchez if you don't have Aguero with a lot of Hull players out injured

      1. 5678
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hard to tell how Sunderland will react after that sort of defeat, plus us is dropping some of the dead weight from the Southampton game.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          I don't know how Sunderland will react to injuries of Hull players but possibly good bet

        Aren't Arsenal playing Sunderland, not Hull?

        ehm

    4. il Brutto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      My problem is if I get Alexis will I captain him over Kun?

    5. v12w12
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I would, reckon he could get more points.

  3. il Brutto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you get short term out of these four?

    a) Alexis
    b) Eriksen
    c) ADM
    d) Hazard (already have Costa)

    1. 5678
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Alexis, personally.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A or D

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

      D

  4. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A) Silva -> Sanchez
    B) ADM -> Sanchez

    Either worth taking a -4 hit or just wait it out?

    Cheers

    1. v12w12
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd wait.

    Any last minute changes necessary or rather save FT?

    1 FT

    Heaton (Gilks)
    Clyne/Baines/Naylor (Wilson/Moore)
    ADM/Siggy/Hendo/Fab (Boyd)
    Costa/Kun/Pelle

    Don't really want to waste a FT on Heaton...

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

      For what you could gain with 0.1m I'd save the transfer

    is it worth doing Krul to Guzan for a free?

    1. Los Pollos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No

      1. simosalminen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        who's your other goalie?

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

          Krulelliot

          1. simosalminen
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Hmm... difficult to say. I guess it depends on how long you plan to hold Guzan. He has the better fixtures next two games, but his schedule for the next 4-6 games is not that much better than Krul's. However, when Krul starts their bloodbath in GW 15 (CHE, ars, mun, EVE, che in 7 games), you'll be really glad for having Guzan.

            I would also consider Foster, but their schedule is a mic of juicy and terrible games.

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Just done DDG to Guzan in my Sportal team.

  11. chilli con kone
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Play Mannone or Krul?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Krul (tot)
      Mannone (ARS)

      1. Gurra
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Krul

      2. simosalminen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hmmm... I'd probably go with Mannone. Arsenal is struggling a bit with offence, Mannone is legendary for save points and Sunderland is sure to try everything to avoid last week's bloodbath.

        1. Andrew
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I agree with this. I have them both and I'm going Mannone.

    2. Sticky Mockwell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good question, I'm wondering the same. Tempted by Mannone - surely some sort of reaction by Sunderland today. Probably looking at 2/3pts from both though

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

      Before deciding remember Krul's great performance away at Spurs last season.

      1. chilli con kone
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Good point

    4. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I am leaning on Mannone as they owe the fans a performance but that might not make a difference

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

    Who has everyone replaced Costa with this week?

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      kept. Super Boyd to save me if he doesn't play.

    2. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kept him bit shipped cisse for aguero

    3. Los Pollos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kept him

    4. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nobody - Have Hutton coming off the bench if Costa misses out

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

      Costa 😉

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

      Kept

  13. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go? Subs in the right order?

    Forster
    Baines - Chambers - Clyne
    Sterling - Di Maria - Tadic - Siggy
    Costa - Aguero (c) - Welbeck

    Subs: Boyd, Wisdom, Hutton

    1. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I've got Wisdom first sub.

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dont like the subs. My order would be:

      1) Wisdom
      2) Hutton
      3) Boyd

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        that's two saying Wisdom first sub...must be something in it 🙂

    3. 5678
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Wisdom before Boyd imo.

  14. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So last night after staring at my team and with no idea what to do I swapped Ivanovic, Di Maria and Welbeck for Chambers, Tadic and Ageuro for a minus 4.

    You think I will live to regret it?

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

      Well yes long term short time you be fine

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly. Not sure about Chambers and Tadic long term after fixtures dry up.

    3. Los Pollos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I would have taken a -4 to do the 3 trades the other way around with maybe baines instead of ivan

    4. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I was considering something similar. I decided to go without kun, but either of us could regret it

  15. Khazana
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Whom to Bench from this lot:

    Tadic, Fab, Sterling, ADM, Siggy
    Welbeck, Pelle, Costa

    I'm playing costa, so it has to be one of the others. Currently on Welbeck (i think sundurland will tighten up after last weeks thrashing)

  16. Romford Pele - Don't w…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who should I bench out of this lot?

    A) Fabregas (mun)
    B) Sigurdsson (LEI)
    C) Tadic (STO)
    D) Di Maria (CHE)
    E) Sterling (HUL)
    F) Pelle (STO)
    G) Diego Costa (mun)
    H) Welbeck (sun)

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

      Siggy.

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Why put yourself in such situations. Bench Tadic imo

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Sell somebody

    4. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Great team, but tough benching choice........maybe Di Maria this week.

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

      Thats a copy of my team!
      I'm punting on playing costa and benching welbeck, or maybe siggy.

  17. AncelottiGapYear

    Guys does anyone know if morneo will play? I don't whether to leave him for one more week

    1. The Machine

      I'd leave him for another week

    3. Takedog1

    4. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Moreno should play.

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

      Liverpool just don''t kept clean sheets, why wait another week?

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

        It's tricky he could provide a week similar to spurs.. Or as always they will let I'm a goal. Or do it next week for ft x2 I was originally going to sell welbeck and him for baines and a new fwd

    6. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Might as well play him against Hull, if you have a bench to cover him in case.

    Costa is selling like hot cakes. Already over one-third of the way to his next drop.

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights

      FPL Towers really want him to drop.

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

        I think they have changed the formula this year.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          They change the formula halfway through every major drinking session.

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

            This has happened before this year - maybe they need to get down the pub more! 🙂

      1. Diva
        • 9 Years

        True. But it doesn't need many to sell to drop his price.

    Coleman in for Terry? I can't afford Baines by 0.1 and actually feel like Coleman is the better choice anyway 😉
