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.

    Have most stuck with Baines? I've not been around much this week.

    1. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, he's 50/50, and RM has said that he should be fine for Wolfsburg, so we'd just want him back next GW anyways. Wisdom is going to score at Stamford Bridge though so its all fine!

    2. Punty
      • 10 Years

      Think so, I have at least

    3. Epic Fail

      I have, but some have got rid.

        Ok. I'll stick. I have Boyd n chambers on bench for him and downing.

    4. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Lads, which pair do you prefer, and why? I'm considering a trade in my draft league.

    A) Eriksen + Yun
    B) Lamela + Remy

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years

  3. Costa Nostra
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Dummett or Chambers to start ?

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Probably Dummett

    2. rickardinho

      Dummett

    3. Costa Nostra

      Thanks guys.

  4. TheCurseOfRaheem

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hours from deadline and I still have no idea what to do with my team, any advice is greatly appreciated at this desperate hour 😛

    Krul (Foster)

    Terry, Baines*, Chambers, Colo*, Naylor

    Fab*, Tadic, ADM, Siggy, Marney

    Aguero, Pelle, Welbeck*

    Have 2 FTs, 0 itb. Been considering Welbeck > Austin and then upgrading Colo to someone elsee as I don't want to play Chambers or Naylor but I am extremely worried over my lack of Costa. Can't seem to get him in without a -4 though. Fabregas > Hazard is also another one I've strongly thought about.

    1. Redhulkster
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Welbeck to austin
      Colo to yun

      Bank the money

      Next week do fab to oscar and pelle to costa

  5. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    If Downing is out, would it be worth it to boot him for a hit?

    No is what I'm thinking atm.

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

      No is what I'm thinking.

      1. Arvin-ation

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

          I think downing is suddenly the most important player for West Ham. He can play in any position and the fact that they lack creativity without him. He'll do better than Chafli and Siggy for the next couple of months, imo.

          1. Punty
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Would you start Berahino or Downing this week?

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Depends who plays in his place.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Marney...only reason why I'm considering getting someone in. Otherwise it'll probably be Duff/Wisdom. Although, one of the two might already come in for Baines, so it'll probably be Wisdom(che)....even Duff(stk) doesn't look good.

        Tempted...

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          If you have a decent transfers in it might he worth it. Only problem is Downing has decent fixtures to come so you might regret it.

          1. Epic Fail
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            transfer*

          2. Arvin-ation
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            The plan is to bring in someone...maybe short term, and then get Siggy in for his nice run.

            But like you said, might regret it with his fixtures....thing is, I don't fancy my bench or a Downing 0 so if I want I can always bring him back in again?

            Midfield:
            Downing Sanchez Hazard Di Maria (Marney)

    3. A.T
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers AT, any reason why?

    repost-- who not to start, from Fellaini/Larsson, Downing, Sigurdsson?

    1. Old
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Fellaini

  7. Old
    • 9 Years

    Should I do anything?
    Big letters = Injury/Not playing/concern

    Heaton
    Clyne - Chambers - BAINES
    FABREGAS - Sanchez - Di Maria - DOWNING
    Austin - Pelle - Aguero

    MANNONE Marney Duff Wisdom

    1FT 2.2 ITB.

    Thinking of Mannone-> Krul
    or
    Fabregas -> Oscar
    or
    Save

    Thoughts?

    1. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Save

      1. SALVA
        • 9 Years

        Save and maybe next week Clyne+Pelle out for Costa

  8. drag365

    Am I the only one with Lukaku here ? 😮

      Wait until the last minute

  10. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Keep sakho or bring in Austin for a -4 ? I was planning on bringing Austin in for Welbeck anyway next week .. Bench includes Moore Marney Wisdom

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Might be worth a -4 with that bench

  11. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is Moore gonna start ?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'll just go and check my crystal ball.

  12. Sebbo29
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    In addition to doing Fab --> Alexis, would you do:
    A] Clyne --> Dummett
    B] Pelle --> Austin
    C] B + AdM --> Haz

    Team is linked

    Thanks lads and good luck to all later, finally this horrid break is over !!! 🙂

          1 after Fab to Sanchez.

    2. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years

      C would be for a -4, A and B for free

      1. 11bigboy11

        Just Fab to Alexis and save FT

      None of them

      1. Sebbo29

        Sorry was not clear: cannot afford Alexis without doing A or B

        1. 11bigboy11
          • 10 Years

          B

    4. Old
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Do you have to do A B or C to do Fab-Alexis?
      If so, A imo.
      Pelle might score this week, and rise in price, and you can sell him for profit in the end of next week.
      Adm have two good Home fixtures after ARS 🙂

      1. 11bigboy11
        • 10 Years

        Agree on not doing C

      2. Sebbo29
        • 9 Years

        Yes need A or B to do Fab --> Alexis. thx for the advice mate

        1. Old
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Looking closer at your team, I think I would have done Wilson-Dummet.
          Then you have a playing defender + you gain some cash.
          Then you can sort out possible injurys next week with 2FT.

          1. Old
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Guess the probability for scoring a goal/getting an assist is around equal fabregas/sanchez this round.

            1. Sebbo29
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

    To anyone who is confused between Kun(c) & Costa(c), I will make it slightly easier for you:

    Who has scored against West Brom : Strikers 13%, Mids 67% (total conceded: 15)
    Who has assisted against West Brom : Strikers 0%, Mids 60%

    Who has scored against Swansea : Strikers 64%, Mids 36% (total conceded: 11)
    Who has assisted against Swansea : Strikers 18%, Mids 73%

    Data taken from: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/11/20/who-concedes-from-where/

    1. PaulParker
      • 9 Years

      So who are you choosing 🙂

      1. Zombie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez 😆

      2. 11bigboy11
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Obviously Ivanovic. 20% of goals against West Brom must come from defenders. Good odds there!

        1. Zombie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          and 40% assists

    2. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sample size isn't big enough to read anything from this. I'm still going for Aguero.

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Haven't read. I'm going for Kun.

      1. Zombie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        the data says Kun only *sigh*

    4. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years

      Hazard then

  18. Gooner97

    9 years, 5 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

    Still tempted to do ADM --> Sanchez.

        Just feel over the next 4-5 chelsea defenders will score more. His price is bound to drop too.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years

      I think I'm gaining a trick. I know it might go completely wrong but he returns 1s and 2s over the next 4 gameweeks it will be worth it

  25. mbrucie
