The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 12

After another international interruption, there’s just a few hours left until the domestic action resumes once again. Our quest to get the better of Paddy sees us turn our attentions to a couple of in-form midfielders from Chelsea and Tottenham, whilst QPR’s free-scoring frontman also gets the nod for the trip to injury-hit Newcastle.

First up, we make our way to Stamford Bridge as the league leaders prepare for the visit of a West Brom side that have scored three times on the road this season. Paddy are offering 7/2 on Oscar to score and Chelsea to collect a clean sheet, and bearing in mind the Brazilian has scored three times in the last six, we’re happy to make this our bet of the week and throw £4 their way.

Whilst Spurs continue to struggle under Mauricio Pochettino, Nacer Chadli is thriving as a Fantasy force. The Belgian grabbed his sixth goal of the season last time out and pays visit to a Hull side that has failed to score in each of the last three Gameweeks. With Paddy offering 8/1 on Chadli to score and for Spurs to earn a shut-out, we part company with another £3.

Our final bet is saved for St James’ Park. Newcastle have lost Fabricio Coloccini to injury, and with Steven Taylor regarded as “a big doubt” by Alan Pardew, the hosts’ recent run of clean sheets could be coming to an end. Charlie Austin has notched four in the last three now – including strikes against Chelsea and City – and with Paddy are willing to offer 66/1 on Austin to score twice and the R’s to grab a clean sheet, this one looks worth a flutter. We’re going to back Harry Redknapp’s side to the tune of our final £3.

    Which budget keeper is the best option as a starter until GW22? I'm leaning towards Green or Guzan

    1. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would advice get an extra .5 and get fabianski

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I actually think Forster on his own will do the jaaab.

      1. Mull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't overrate Southampton. They'll not be able to keep up their run of clean sheets against the big teams.

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Citeh and CHS apart, I can still them see gaining cs throughout the season. Citeh and CHS won't take them apart either.

          1. JJO
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I think that you and all others will be very dissapointed with South after 6,7gws

            1. Jafalad
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              They've played 10 gwks. No other gk stands out. Just need to put Forster in with the cheapest cheapo.

    3. Gravless wonder
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks for the replies. 0.5 extra is too much...needs to be a 4.5 keeper so options are krul, green, guzan, heaton etc. until GW22 only

      1. Mull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Guzan. This week might be a rubbish but otherwise very good games up to GW22.

  2. Jafalad
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Could be a few players out this gwk. How many active subs have you got?

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Its not the same playing left wing in 442 and in 4231

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        And think he will be better fantasy option when Giroud is back
        Ofcourse if he continou zo play

  5. Rex Lapis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Krul Mannone
    Baines Dummet Yun Wisdom Wilson
    Sanchez Haz ADM Downing Marney
    Costa Pelle Sakho

    Wilson to Hutton for -8?
    or
    Save FT?

    1. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If u have a ft
      Then use it to get 11 players on the pitch

    2. Rex Lapis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      sorry I mean Wilson to Hutton next GW
      or now for -8

      1. Redhulkster
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Dont do it

      Hutton for a -8 is criminal man.

    4. Rex Lapis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      thanks mate

  6. GK
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can you EVER justify taking a hit for a defender?

    My current back line is -
    STARTING: Clyne (AVL) and Wisdom (CHE)
    INJURED: Baines, S.Taylor
    DROPPED: Moore

    Is 2 at the back hit worthy or should I suck up an almost certain blank?

    1. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm sure there are scenarios in which it does make sense, but I'd back at least one of Baines and Saylor to start. Demi has both starting in the team news.

      1. GK
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Oh right, thought both were pretty much ruled out! If that's the case I can pray for 1 out of 2 to start! Still, worthy of a post to see whether people see if the "no hits for a defender" rule as golden or not

    2. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Baines hasn't been ruled out... Stick

    3. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Take the hit

      Moore to yun

      Would help in the long run i feel

    4. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah...like I've taken a hit this week to bring in Hazard and Azpi. I get 2-3 months out of them so well worth it in the long term.

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

    Would you make any changes? (tempted by Baines ➡ Terry)

    Mannone
    Clyne, Baines, Bardsley
    Sánchez, Downing, Tadic, Chadli
    Agüero(C), Costa(VC), Welbeck

    Adrián, Boyd, Hutton, Chambers

    1FT; 0.3m ITB

    1. ABoyNamedLew
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think Terry is worth the 0.3 over Azpi.

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

      I did Baines to Azpi. Will bring him back next month. Team looks good.

      Cahill to Azpilicueta.
      Sell Eriksen

      1. adp1113

        9 years, 4 months ago

        what about Aguero?

        1. Gooner97
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Do Eriksen to Chadli and sell Pellè/Welbz

          1. adp1113
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            not enough money. If I do Pelle to Aguero then I have to get a 4.7m mid instead of Eriksen.

  10. snowman
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Start Siggy or Sakho

    1. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      sakho

  11. ABoyNamedLew
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Begovic
    Baines - Clyne - Chambers
    Tadic - Sanchez - Fabregas - Sigurdsson
    Sakho - Aguero - Costa

    Subs: Gilks, Boyd, Wisdom, S Taylor

    1 FT, nothing in the bank

    Concentrating primarily on getting 11 players that will actually play, Sakho > Austin or is it too risky to go with Sakho > Kane to retain funds to shift out Begovic/Clyne/Tadic next week? (Looking to bring in Fabianski/Taylor/Who knows)

    1. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Austin long term

      Kane if you will wc soon

      Ayoze perez a better bet than kane imo

  12. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton
    Chambers Clyne Yun
    ADM Hazard Siggy Chadli
    Aguero(vc) Costa(c) Welbeck

    (Mannone, Duff, Wisdom, Boyd)
    1 FT and £1.8 ITB

    Good to go?

  13. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who to have have earlier on the bench between Yun (new) and Chambers (MUN)?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm playing both.

      1. Miami Monkey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        doesnt help..

    2. JJO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Would say Yun
      But think both teams will concede

  14. footyjuana
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So whose your captain?? Costa here

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Me too.

    2. JJO
      • 11 Years

      Egg

  15. Geriatric Unathletic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth a -4 to do Erikson to Oscar? Already have Hazard and Ivan.

    Little worried as Downing is my 4th mid otherwise and he is a big doubt especially with Amalf available now.

    When is Erikson ever going to play a full game again? feel he has to go from my team soonest.

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth it imo

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        this

  16. Kuqi Monster
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bego
    Baines / Clyne / chambers
    ADM / Siggy / Downing / Sanchez
    Welbeck / aguero / pelle

    Bench: Fab / Boyd / duff / Moore

    Have baines / Downing / welbeck as doubts, my bench strong enough to save my ft?

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe welbek out for Austin and use the cash to upgrade moore next week?

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      4 Subs ?????

    3. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Add Downing to your doubts too.

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

    Tadic and ADM out

    Sanchez and Chadli in

    -4

    Yay or nay?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No.

      1. La Roja

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          You are going to be fine. 🙂

    2. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nay..
      Won't remove adm

      Highly likely it would be a diamond today

    3. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not for -4 this week. Tadic could score well (thinking that every week 🙁 ).

  18. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    There is some thought/hope that ALL FOUR of our doubts will play.

    Possible Starting XI:

    Adrián
    Jenkinson, Collins, Reid, Cresswell
    Song, Noble, Kouyate
    Downing
    Valencia, Sakho

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hope Baines and Coleman are fit then.... 😉

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Baines seems doubtful, sadly. 🙁

    2. Kloppelganger
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      @premeirinjuries ruled Downing out but I would love for that to be untrue. Have you got a solid source that he has a good chance (no guarantees obviously) of playing?

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Well, the West Ham team news are more worried about Sakho than him, ditto ClaretAndHugh.

        That's all, I am afraid.

        1. Kloppelganger
          • 12 Years

  20. Göönër W&eum…
    • 13 Years

    It's still Man Utd! Surely Wenger won't bench Sanchez cos he came back to blighty on Thursday!?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He won't bench, look at the table they are 1 point behind. We need to win this one

  21. Think
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Please suggest changes to improve these bunch !

    Defence is all set (Bego,Baines,Clyne,Bert,Azpi,)

    MF Ramsey,Sterling,Downing & Chadli

    FW Costa,Rooney,Naismith

    Have 1FT &1.7 in bank

    1 can save ft play 4-4-2 and Naismith as first sub.

    2 Naismith to Austin

    3 Naismith to Austin & Ramsey to Oscar for -4

    4 Ramsey to yaya & Naismith to kane/parez

    5 any other advice ?

    Cheers & thanks in advance!

    1. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's easier for people to give advice if you list your entire squad, particularly when it already looks like you've got a benching nightmare on your hands with the 12 you've listed.

    2. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Best bet is 3 but then i gamble

      U could go safe with 2

  22. Who Ate All Depays?

    Any likelihood of the following players playing ?

    A) Baines

    C) Fab
    D) Downing
    E) Saylor

    1. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years

      Question mark over the rest

    2. The Generalator

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No, you won't be on the bench, Arvin. That's reserved for me even though I've resigned 15 times now.

    Who is more likely to start between Hutton and Liam Moore?

    Hutton was out through injury but did Moore lose his place before his illness?
