The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 15

We place our faith in a couple of midweek goalscorers and Tottenham’s Danish maestro in this week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy.

First up, we pay visit to Villa Park, where the hosts entertain fellow strugglers Leicester. Paul Lambert’s side are now on a four-match unbeaten run, with just two goals conceded over that period, whilst talisman Christian Benteke is starting to find his form after firing the winner at Palace on Tuesday. Paddy are prepared to offer 25/1 on the Belgian to notch two or more goals and the hosts to earn a clean sheet, we’ll make this our bet of the week and shell out £4.

Our attentions turn to Anfield next as Liverpool go in search of a third consecutive win. Steven Gerrard was amongst the goals in Tuesday’s triumph at Leicester and with their confidence up, the Reds will fancy their chances of keeping out a Sunderland side with just two goals to their name in the last four. With Paddy preparing to offer 5/1 on a Gerrard goal and a Liverpool clean sheet, we hand over a further £3 for the Merseyside match.

The final bet is kept for an all-London clash at the Lane, as Spurs play host to Palace. After blanking at the Bridge on Wednesday evening, Christian Eriksen will be desperate to return to the form that saw him net in back-to-back matches prior to the midweek Chelsea showdown. Paddy are offering 11/2 on an Eriksen goal and Tottenham clean sheet and we’ll throw our final £3 their way for this one.

      Aragorn. My brother, my captain, my king.

      It is in fact Costa, thus it hath oscillate betwixt him and Sir Kun.

  2. David Brains - OH NO!
    • 12 Years

    I'm considering Oscar to Eriksen this morning, but what about Chadli and using the saved money to upgrade a cheap defender to Azpi?

    Or just step away and keep Oscar for now?

        Oscar will start. 100%.

    3. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Oscar ➡ Eriksen was my drunk transfer last night. Not too convinced now. 😐

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

    Elliot
    Baines, Hutton, Wisdom
    Hazard, Cesc, Siggy, Mirallas
    Aguero, Costa(C), Austin (VC)

    Krul, Boyd, Clyne, Naylor

    1FT, 0.5m ITB

    i'm thinking Krul to Adrian, sound good? anything better I could do iyo?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Save the transfer and captain aguero

    2. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No, Guzan might be an option too.

    3. kennethrhcp

      • 13 Years

      cheers lads, i'll do more reading on here.

      I did look @ guzan but double villa defence looks crazy

  4. Saniul
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If only I had the balls to do Austin (c) ...

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Go for it.

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

        I tried to do the non-conventional by (c)-ing Hazard over Aguero. Could have been much worse than how it was indeed.

    2. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I don't even have him in my team - putting some money on him to score so I can offset the pain

    3. Dogba
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I did Bony -> Austin, that's punty enough for my taste. His fixtures are too good, aren't they? Next 6.

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

        Yeah, fixtures central to QPR's survival.
        And Austin ain't as much a differential as he was two weeks back. For I know, almost 30% in the top 10k already have him.

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

          It's crazy, he's got 5 points less than Costa. Just a very, very unconventional option. I ignored him for a long time because of his price range, hard to replace.

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

            Believe it or not, he was in my GW1 team.
            And in that very week, where he was nailed for 9 points, ended up missing a pen and getting zero. -_-

            1. And we all have legs
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Same here. Got rid almost immediately.

              Took him back for the home game vs Man City as a punt. One of the more enjoyable moments of the season that was for me. Obviously he just scored 1 and could have had more but I really enjoyed watching that match (also had Kun (C).

              Also seeing everyone recommending Austin after that game was good to see.

  5. Dogba

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Morning guys! How's it going?

    Fixing lineup and bench, would love some feedback. In what order would you prefer the following players this GW?

    A) Yun (BUR)
    B) Chambers (stk)
    C) Boyd (qpr)

    1. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Morning pal.

      That's a tough one. Probably Chambers, Boyd, Yun?

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

        Hey. That was my initial lineup after deadline, I think it's usually good to follow that... thanks!

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

      BCA

      nice bench btw

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

        Thanks, but the nice bench comes courtesy of wildcarding 2 GWs ago 😀

  6. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    There is a big chance Sanchez will be on the bench. Wenger said his fitness is in the red. Surely he is fatigued and Wenger won't risk him before the festive period.

    1. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      the whole article gave me the feel that he would play

    2. Dogba
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yup, definitely a chance.

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

        Let me be clear, I think he'll start and get subbed after 60-70, but there's definitely a chance he'll be on the bench.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He can rest him during the week in my opinion.

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

      there’s a chance, wouldn’t call it a big chance though

    5. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He will be rested for the meaningless CL clash. Points are way too crucial right now.

    6. And we all have legs
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He will be rested for CL I reckon.

      Means he has 3 games to play between now and Christmas.

    7. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe he can come off the bench if Arsenal were struggling to score.

    8. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      The CL match is not exactly meaningless. Arsenal can still grab top spot and seeing Dortmund's form, Wenger would have to be an idiot not to try to win the group. He learnt that the hard way in the previous seasons. Dortmund losing to any team no matter how weak is not out of the question.

  7. Kevin Twine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Fabregas -> Eriksen (have Haz and could do with a chelsea defender) or save FT?

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

      Save FT mate.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      i would

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I thought about it. Decided against it. Might do it next week if Cesc is susp.

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Surely it's better to just do it before the inevitable card?

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          No.

          1. I don't trust Spurs
          2. That card potentially not happen, and besides when it happens is important as i would need to know if Silva is fit by then. I prefer an extra City player over Eriksen.

          1. Kevin Twine
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Fair enough. Ta.

    4. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Get Eriksen. Primed for a big haul this week, and there's nothing as boring as having Fabregas in your team. 😉

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        ...not if he is a place holder for silva/Yaya.

    5. Ne0
      • 10 Years

      Save

    6. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Interesting. Cheers, folks. Will probably save and just wait and see.

  8. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hun has blanked after every double figure haul he got so far. Time to break that rule.

    1. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm not gonna be the one to say that he doesn't and put the armband elsewhere

  9. Arsennulment
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Unsure whether I should cap Erik or Austin...I'm chasing....and siggy or jeddy to bench-warm presents another conundrum...

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

      What? Those are your two options?

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

        I could captain Aguero or Costa or Sanchez or Hazard or Yaya but I wouldn't get the same warm feeling when it paid off...perhaps i a being foolish

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

          scrap that I sold sanchy

  10. JoeJitzu +42

    Bench one....please

    Baines (mc)
    Chambers (sto)
    Chadli (CRY)
    Siggy (wh)

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

      Baines.

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

        Baines has a relatively high potential because of set-pieces and attacking threat, sure, but I'd play the numbers. The probability of him grabbing something is slim away to City. Stoke not being able to score versus Arsenal would not shock me at all.

        1. JoeJitzu +42
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks for the reply, hmm just so difficult! Was thinking Chadli because he could be benched again!

        I have MIrallas and Eriksen over Siggy and Cesc...that'll be the main difference.

        Nice.

          Sold Bony. Pity he didn't get 15pts last week. I might keep Tekkers depending on how he goes vs Leic. The last couple of games between villa and wba had goals.

          I might get Dzeko/Jovetic next week.

      Top of the milf list when it comes to goal attempts the last couple of weeks. Only problem is his shots on target % is worse then that of my 6month old labrador.

    Clyne or Wisdom as your 1st def sub ?

      Clyne.

    Have a midfield dilemma... I currently have Sánchez, Fab, Siggy, and Di Maria. Have two free trannys, wanna bring Hazard and Eriksen in...

    But for who?? What sayest thou?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard for Fab, get Kane instead of Eriksen.

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

        Haven't watched Spurs in a while now... Why do you reckon Kane over Eriksen?

    2. 1314
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      ADM > Eriksen , Fab > Haz..or only ADM > Haz

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

        I may just do ADM to Hazard, honestly. Every time I bring Eriksen into the fold he ends up disappointing me...
