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.

    GTG? Saving FT to get baines next week for free

    First sub - wisdom I think!

    Current team...
    Foster (gilks)
    Clyne - chester - Chambers (wisdom, N Taylor)
    Siggy - Sanchez - Fab - Di Maria (marney)
    Costa - sakho - aguero (c)

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

      looks good, though you'r cutting it fine with Sakho

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

        Assuming he'll not start. Buy bench is weak so have to punt!

        Marney first sub = disaster

  2. 11bigboy11
    • 10 Years

    What should my order of subs be? Moore, Marney, Naylor I have.

    1. Epic Fail

      Just like that.

      Great team. Save!

    2. Egg noodle

    Noooo.. norwegian TV is sending Chelsea - West Brom..

  5. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 5 months ago

    One question on transfers for me this week...
    keep welbeck or get Austin?
    I have Sanchez for arsenal cover but have 2 yellow flags in Baines and Coleman meaning welbeck makes a worrying third..
    as ever, all help appreciated gents and gentesses

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I really think welbeck will start

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cool, but then do you think him or Charlie boy?

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          That's next week transfer. Welbeck has a tough fixture, but it's his old team so he could score. Austin is playing against a better Newcastle, away.

          1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Fair point. Food for thought.
            Cheers dude

        Aye, freebie. Quite like Austin and fixtures, but United and the leaky defence.....

  8. Miami Monkey

    ADM, Oscar, or Haz?

    Don't really think Haz has been worth it...

    1. 11bigboy11
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Haz

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

      Hazard.

    3. SALVA

      Hazard!

  9. Santi sensei

    Play Downing or Siggy ?

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

      Siggy

  10. Sparrer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Alright gang, going to need some help on this one (pretty please). Got 2 FTS and 0.1 ITB.

    Begovic (McCarthy)
    Duff, Baines*, Clyne (Hutton, Naylor)
    Tadic*, ADM, Sanchez*, Siggy (Boyd)
    Sakho*, Costa (vc), Aguero (c)

    Any ideas? Will want Begovic and Clyne out next week. Possibly Tadic too. So any thoughts? Thanks 🙂

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

      Tadic isn't an injury doubt, see scout tweets.

      Don't get rid of Clyne, you have other priorities

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

        Thanks. So, what would you do in my position?

  11. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Folks, what to do...

    Forster McCarthy
    Chambers Kaboul Bertrand
    Sanchez ADM Fabregas Downing
    Costa Kun Sakho

    Subs: Boyd Duff Alcaraz ITB: 0.5m. 1FT

    Sakho -> Austin is popular, but is Sakho out..?

    Other options:

    A. Fabs -> Oscar (free money to get rid of Bertrand/Kaboul)
    B. Alcaraz -> Yun (next week could do Bertrand -> Azpi)
    C. McCarthy -> Krul (so don't reply on Forster for their horrible fixtures..)
    D. Do Nowt...

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

      yun goes to asian cup in jan, be wary.

      Oscar is a great option, i've had him since GW10 fwiw, and just sold Fab

      1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I agree. Fabs is pricy for the odd assist. He's staying to deep for me, whereas Oscar has the Num 10 role.

        Could then do Bertrand -> Terry/Azpi, even stretch to Baines...

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

        Jan wc though.

        1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Bingo. And at 3.9m he won't be used too much, as I intend to buy Azpi/Terry/etc...

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

          yeah, but you might be forced to playing it earlier than you want if one of your 5 def's is unavailable.

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

            Let's be honest. Nobody is ever going to play their wildcard because of Yun. 😀

            1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Yun be crazy if you did.... 😉

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

              Well yeah, but all it takes is for one other Def to be injured or suspended and your lovely rotation is suddenly in crisis mode instead of having that cheapie covering, making the WC button all the more flirtatious 😉

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

                Personally I'd rather stump up an extra 0.8 for Caulker:

                - goal threat
                - 100% nailed on (i.e. no threat from Traore/352/Isla, etc)
                - doesn't have asian cup so i can rest easy that he'll be available until the very end of January - which is when I intend to play my WC.

    2. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24

    5 yellows among that lot...

    1. rickardinho
      • 9 Years

      You should use that FT to ensure that you can get 11 players on the pitch this GW first and foremost

    2. Redhulkster

      Sakho to austin

      1. The Generalator
        • 9 Years

        Kun

    9. SALVA

      Costa.

  15. EmreCan Hustle

    Look ok?

    Foster
    Azpi Clyne Hutton
    Fab ADM Mane Downing
    Costa Aguero(c) Pelle
    McCarthy Boyd Moore Chambers

    Thanks.

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

      yes

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

      Play Chambers or moore instead of Hutton.

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

        Cheers. Pelle and Mane vs Hutton is making me uncomfortable. Will Moore start?

        Btw...Eden of the East was an anime that I started watching the same time I first started FPL 🙂
        Since you had asked the other day iirc.

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

          Haha, I was making a joke about reading your name like Theeast instead of The East (a poor one i might say) 😛

          not sure moore will start, but i'd fancy Chambers, as he's more attacking and can get an assist or goal if the CS falls through, whereas i wouldn't think hutton would

    3. Santi sensei
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm starting Chambers over Hutton.
      Overall, good to go 🙂

      1. The Generalator
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Doubt Moore will play?

        1. Santi sensei
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thought he lost his place ..

      2. EmreCan Hustle

        Cheers guys.

  16. LEEDSLEEDSLEEDS
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Help please. Fabs to Sanchez or Haz?

    I have Welbs but no Costa.

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

      Sanchez

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

      Hazard, considering Chelsea fixtures.

    3. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez

  17. mouldy_uk
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on:

    Azpil IN - Chadli IN / Lovren OUT - Tadic OUT
    2 FT's

    (would love to just do the Azpil for Lovren but don't have the cash)

  18. Göönër W&eum…
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If you could afford Cahill Azpi or Terry taking no points hit, who'd it be?

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I don't see the same goal threat from Cahill and Terry this season. Azpi for me

      1. Göönër W&eum…
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        ta fella, taken on board

    2. SALVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi is BPS magnet. Terry for goal threat. I would get Azpi.

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

        BP*

  19. Marouane Fellatio
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sakho to Austin worth a hit?

    Sub would be David Jones (Burnley).

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

      Go'wan!

    2. The Generalator
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I reckon he'll play

  20. UnderstandablyDistraught
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I have to bite the bullet and replace Bruce. Can't have Wisdom coming on if Baines is out. Is Yun nailed on at this point or are there any better options under 4.2. Not keen on newcastle defender in addition to Krul

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

      he's nailed on yes, but beware the asian cup

      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        good info thanks would have such players until early Jan though right?

  21. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Adm to Sanchez for free?

    1. Göönër W&eum…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      without a doubt yes

    2. Santi sensei
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yess

    3. The Generalator
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Both could be in points.
      If u gona do it next week anyway may as well do it now

    4. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  22. stilicho
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Boyd or Chambers as first sub (for Sakho)? Normally I would automatically play the outfielder, but Chambers costs more, is at home, and tends to score more points...

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

      Boyd

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He is facing MUN, Rooney is fit, di Maria on form ...

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

      Boyd

    4. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Has to be Boyd. Chambers against ADM screams YC number 7!

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It does rather, now you mention it.

    5. stilicho
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks chaps. Unaninmity is helpful on Saturday mornings!

      1. stilicho
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        So is unanimity

  23. Whattheheck!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hey guys, I'm planning to sort my bench with my 1FT. Should I do Moore -> Yun or Dummett?

    I'm leaning towards Yun as I have Krul. Also the money saved would enable me to do Bertrand -> Terry rather than Azpi next week.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yun

      1. Whattheheck!

      I feel/hope that Downing may play.

      Enner has a groin, apparently.

        It'd be a bit of a worry if he didn't have a groin!
