The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 21

After a hectic festive period, we go head-to-head with Paddy for the first time in the calendar year. With a tenner in hand, we turn to a trio of home sides in this week’s Flutter and place our faith in Burnley and Swansea’s strikers, whilst United’s fit-again Argentine also gets the nod as the Saints roll up to Old Trafford.

Turf Moor is our first port of call as Burnley and QPR go head-to-head later today. The Clarets lost 2-0 at Loftus Road last month and will be desperate for revenge here and, having scored two at City and three at Newcastle, we’re backing their attack to get the better of ‘Arry’s boys. Paddy are offering 25/1 on Danny Ings to score two or more goals and Burnley to keep a clean sheet and with those odds, we’re prepared to make this our bet of the week and shell out £4.

Next up, we head to Old Trafford for United’s home showdown with Southampton. As they’ve shown in recent matches, the Saints will be no pushovers against Louis van Gaal’s side and we’re expecting a tightly-fought encounter on Sunday afternoon. Angel Di Maria returned to action with a goal at Yeovil last weekend and with Paddy willing to offer 8/1 on the Argentine to score and United to keep a clean sheet, we’ll hand over £3.

We cross the border to Wales for our final bet as Swansea welcome West Ham to the Liberty. With Wilfried Bony off to the African Cup of Nations and looking likely to head to City before the transfer window closes, Bafetimbi Gomis has the chance to fire his way onto Fantasy radars against Big Sam’s side. With Paddy prepared to offer 25/1 on the Frenchman to score two or more goals and Swansea to keep a clean sheet, we part company with our final £3.

    Ivan and Alderweild

    Or

    Terry and Bertrand

    Surely Terry will be all shagged out soon!

    1. KingsKnee
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1. AJCash
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Was going to be a one week punt til Wildcarding. Basically comes down to this issue of whether Chelsea will annhilate Newcastle or If Arsenal will do the same to Stoke (And if Cazorla will be impacted by some Ozil pitch time)

    3. mipola
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Oscar doesn't seem to be getting any minutes. Cazorla for me.

  6. KingsKnee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton/pants
    Azpi chambers clyne/ Hutton wisdom

    1. fitzy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1. KingsKnee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers who you reckon? Not sure if got enough for debuchy

  7. NLB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Start Zab (Everton away) or NTaylor (West Ham home)?

    1. KingsKnee
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Zab better chance of attacking return

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Zab= 0pts last 3 GWs

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Naylor.

  8. Birds of Prey
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I'm hoping to get 70 pts. out of this team, am I dreaming with this defense?

    Hamer

    PvA--Naylor--Keane

    Haz--Fab--Sanchez--AdM

    Costa (C)--Kane--RvP

    1. KingsKnee
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Will hamer start with Schwarzer now there?

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        oh crap thx (I think) this is exhausting

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        There is talk that Hamer will be benched - it's a guess!

  9. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Captain
    1)haz 2)costa

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      2 for the differential 46%-15%

    2. KingsKnee
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1 because you could get left behind

  10. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Doosra, you get the final call.

    Silva or Maria?

  11. fitzy
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hi end of deadzone people

    RMWCT please

    Forster Hamer
    Azpi Debuchy Naylor Wisdom Wasilewski
    Sanchez Hazard Chandli Siggy Boyd
    Aguero Costs Kane

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      like the keepers rest is very similar to my team though I have RvP until Aguero starts. IMO GL

    2. KING KOUNDER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No United cover ?

      No probs other than that.
      7.5

  12. HNI
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which of these seem best for next 3 weeks?
    Pick one Please 🙂
    1)Eriksen
    2)Cazorla
    3)Chadli
    4)Mata
    5)Adam Johnson

    1. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      3

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      2 especially if still on pens

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      3
      Eriksen took a wider role with Chadli on the park
      Caz has Giroud back on deck
      Mata will get rotated with ADM or miss out all together.
      AJ a decent punt but less ownership than 3.

  13. Sloopy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I' m considering Fonte over Bertrand and Clyne (on WC). Am I being silly?

    1. KING KOUNDER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Think so

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        for .1 yes

    2. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Fonte seems to get more bonus and will get a goal or two on the way. That saying, Bertrand and Clyne seem to have more attacking intentions.

  14. Big Bad Barry
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton
    Ivan Debuchy Trippier
    Hazard @ Fabergas Sanchez Silva
    Costa Kane Giroud

    Panti Boyd Alderweild Pva

        • 13 Years

      boyd

    2. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Tricky! I tend to bench the away player with worst form so I guess it's sterling

  17. Killitzer
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    quick question:

    Chambers (H)
    vs
    Zabaletta (A)

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Zab. Likely to play 90

    2. Paanmonkey
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    Haz
    Sanchez
    Costa

    1. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      am going Hazard. Seems to be involved in everything atm

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Has if you want to play safe. Costa if you are after a differential.

      1. asif316uk
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        is giroud back ?

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yep.

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      costa for dif as I said above I think it is 46%-15%

    4. thefantasylegend
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard. He's unstoppable

  19. lionhunter
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Austin or Berahino?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Austin

  20. thefantasylegend
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which should I get? Smalling or Evans? Terry or Ivanovic? Cazorla or Johnson?

    Cant really see Carzola maintaining his form given tougher fixtures and ozil's return

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Evans is a coach fav

      JT

      def Cazorla good luck

  21. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    can WC be used as of GW 24, Jan 31st?

    1. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      end Feb 1st 11.30

    2. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep!

  22. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton (Mannone)
    Wisdom Ivanovic Hutton (OShea, Clyne)
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Boyd (Downing)
    Rooney Costa Austin

    2FT, £1.0 ITB.

    Guys I need help.
    I don't know what to do with my transfers, but: In the last GWs i only transferred out defender so I'm changing then when I wildcard. I would transfer Downing maybe but I can play Boyd over him this GW. The dilemma is Austin; I would give him another chance before to sell to Kane...

  23. HNI
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Eriksen vs Chadli
    Is Eriksen really not taking playing well stat wise or jus bad luck FPL Wise??

    1. KING KOUNDER
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He is playing well

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        as is Chadli just cheaper

  24. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Clichy or Hutton to play?

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Clichy

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Great! I'll just multiply that answer x 100 and say it's unanimous 🙂

    2. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Clichy

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

    Chadli for the next two or (Sterling) Boyd?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years

      Chadli

    2. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Chadli

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      sterling out Chadli

  26. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Giroud will start right ?
    I never really rated him but am putting him in my team as I think he is a better chance of points than.Austin.
    Surely with all the class round about him he cant feck this up.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      red card incoming

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      At least not again you mean?! 😯

  27. Skipdipper
    • 12 Years

    Doosra - do you publish those numbers in full or on request or select few?
    Thanks

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I can't. There are too many of them - they are off my own ticker.

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Furthermore, they cause the blasted google spreadsheet to crash.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Doosy Doos. You get the final say.

        Silva or Maria?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Silva today, Maria next week?

          Really, you need to settle down and sort your defence.

      2. Skipdipper
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Damn google 🙂

  28. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Shall I swap:

    Debuchy, Jones

    to

    Cahill, Wisdom

    ??

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, I shouldn't.

      Thanks 🙂

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yes i u dont have any other Chelsea defender

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I don't. 🙂

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          then the latter imo, both arsenal and manu suck at the back

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            this is true.

            Is this backline too fragile though?

            Pants 4.0
            Cahill, Alderweireld, Wisdom, PVA, Wasilewski

      2. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Means I have no backup GK too.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          who is the goalie u playin?>

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            above.

  29. Koflok
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling is either gonna start or not play at all right?

    Should I start Downing instead?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      when you put it like that 1st sub is Downing. Sterling looks to literally be on an island somewhere.

    2. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      First; I would start Sterling and Downing first sub!

  30. thefantasylegend
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bench Boyd or falcao?
