The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 23

With tenner in hand, we go up against Paddy once again this morning. This time round, we turn to Sunderland’s new frontman, Liverpool’s young midfielder and Arsenal’s lone forward to boost our prospects of ending the weekend in profit.

We kick off at the Stadium of Light, where Jermain Defoe is set for his Premier League home debut for Sunderland against Burnley. With Gus Poyet determined to go on the attack and take advantage of some kind fixtures in front of the Wearside faithful, Defoe’s output looks key to the Black Cats’ survival. Paddy are offering 25/1 on Defoe to score two or more and Sunderland to serve up a clean sheet later today – we’ve a feeling he’ll make the difference against the Clarets and hand over our first £3.

Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their midweek Capital One Cup exit as West Ham make their way to Anfield later today. With the Hammers nursing a number of injury worries, we’re backing the home side to do the business here – Paddy are offering 11/2 on Raheem Sterling to score and the Reds to keep a clean sheet and we’re confident enough to shell out another £3 for the Merseyside match.

Our final stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal entertain out-of-sorts Villa. The Gunners have their tails up after defeating City on their travels last time around and with their visitors scoring once in the last seven Gameweeks, a win for Arsene Wenger’s side is highly anticipated. With Paddy offering 13/2 on Olivier Giroud to score two or more goals and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re making this one our bet of the week and part company with our final £4.

          Hazard Sanchez AdM Fabregas* JWP*
          Kun Kane Costa*

          A) Costa > Giroud and JWP > Mane next week
          B) 3-5-2 with Costa > Gayle and JWP > Theo next week
          C) Costa + Fab > Theo + Giroud for a hit (don't really watching my bench come in if Fab isn't playing and if they're missing gw27 anyway..)

    How's my WC team looking? It was an impulse decision to play it but here we are 🙂

    http://gyazo.com/1bfe2ffe76d2263c2194bb4f93730b4d

    Could anyone suggest a few improvements?

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

      B&Q are good if your looking for some improvements

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Don't know where you got B&Q from haha.

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

      Looks decent.
      Lose Hutton?

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Could replace him with a Newcastle defender maybe

    3. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Benching Kane?!

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Should I bench Puncheon instead do you think? I think West Brom will do well today, at least I hope. Could change it though.

      2. Count of Monte Hristo

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

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Starting, let autosubs deal with if he doesn't play

  4. Boss Hogg

    Please help!

    Last decision for Wildcard team:

    A. Ospina, Clichy and Moses

    B. Myhill, Baird and Sterling

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like it.
      Maybe a touch heavy in defence? Could you downgrade Kosc maybe and then beef up Boyd?

      This week K'd start Sanchez (just in case) and PVA instead of Terry and Kane.

    Morning all!

    Good to go?

    Panti
    Terry Kos Fonte
    Hazard Oscar Silva Cazorla(c) Eriksen
    Aguero Giroud(vc)

    Gayle PvA Baird

    Maybe Silva to AdM? Though really not sold on Utd atm.

    Panti better than Foster as a standalone keeper?

  11. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Have I missed some news on Baird? Seems to be a change in opinion as to his likelihood of playing - what's the origin of this?

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

      He will play

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What?

    3. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      FA Cup saw Lescott left back and Dawson in the middle. Plus Olsson coming back soon. Pulis loves a back four of centre backs.

    4. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure. I reckon he'll play

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lescott LB with Olsson being fit is the worry

    6. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers guys, sounds like no new information, just pre-deadline jitters. At that price I'll take the risk 🙂

  12. Ace Ventura
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Worth upgrading Fab ---> Hazard ?

    Would be selling Fab for 9.4m and buying Haz for 10.7m.

    Is he 1.3m better i suppose?

  13. mentoz
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How does this Wildcard-team look?

    Panti, Krul
    Ivan, Fonte, Wisdom, Wollscheid, Baird
    Alexis, Hazard, ADM, Puncheon, Elia
    Kun, Giroud, Kane

    1,1 ITB

    Any suggestion for improvements, or is it good to go?

    Cheers.

  14. Valar(Keith)

    Did a bit of research to help myself and my fellow WCers
    Checked the FA cup schedule and the only missing GW will be in GW 33..
    Teams in the FA cup include
    Manutd, Sunderland, liverpool, wba, whm, crystal palace, villa, leicester, arsenal
    Checked the games that each team are playing and checked the bookies odds for this round(though the odds will change closer to kickoff).. Based on the number of games a team has to play i rated the odds as tougher for the team to go through since future opposition is unknow(for eg Manu and liverpool have to win 3 games)
    Also Teams may be paired vs each other later on so even more fixtures should free up.
    As of now however,

    So basically... Games which are on in GW 33
    BUR vs eve
    Newcastle vs Tottenham
    Soton vs Stoke

    Games which have a low chance of missing
    West Ham vs city
    Villa vs QPR

    Games which have a medium chance of missing
    Mun vs Chelsea
    liverpool vs hull

    Games which have a high chance of missing
    SUN vs ars
    West brom vs Palace

    Thought this could help ppl choosing long term defenses and goal keeper combos 🙂

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      the height of future planning 🙂

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

      Good post but it's to far ahead to think about things like this

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Basically a reason for ppl going with Foster OR Panti to get a backup keeper with a 100% game.. ie Krul.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ther'll be be two new pages by the time anyone reads this 🙂

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        it just confirmed i need to pair Foster up with Krul.. so i'm happy 🙂

    4. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I guess one gotta green that

  15. Andy1
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Just realised I have 6 players not playing in gw27

    Terry
    Fabregas
    Hazard
    Austin
    Kane
    Wasilewski

    Which 3 should i get rid of?

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

      Wasi and Austin, and one of the Chelsea-mids.

  16. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Panti - Krul
    Terry - Kosc - Bertrand - PvA - Wilkinson
    Sanchez - Hazard - ADM - Moses - ???
    Aguero - Giroud - Kane

    8.4m to spend

    A: Oscar
    B: Eriksen
    C: Sterling

    On WC now.

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

      C - because of GW27

  17. Jimbo123
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Urgh dirty hangover.

    Anyone particularly offended by this beunch for my WC ???

    Foster
    Azpi, Clyne, PVA, Koscielny, Baird
    Hazard, Sanchez, Mane, Cork, Silva (Raheem this week)
    Aguero, Kane, Giroud

  18. Bolasie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Start Alexis or Puncheon?

    1. jaco
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably punch can't see alexis playing

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

      Sanchez with punch first sub

  19. Prateik7m
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bellerin or chambers, who would play?

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

      Bellerin

    2. jaco
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Bellerin

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think either will play. I think Wenger will start Gabriel at rb

  20. Forzancfc
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have Chadli, fab or Walcott?

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

      A fully fit Walcott

  21. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I wouldn't take any notice of this 4-4-2 lark that LVG is spouting about. Some definite "Emperors new clothing" going on with that fella. United have been a bit of a rabble at times this season with players popping up anywhere and everywhere...not that it's a bad thing sometimes...He's off his head...

  22. Congressman
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez to Walcott for a 4 point hit. Yay or nay?

    1. jaco
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't

    2. Kloppinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

  23. Clump
    • 9 Years

    Walcott © .... Madness? 5 main cameo?

    1. Clump

      Min*

    2. Wild Rover

      It's a great shout

    3. Kloppinho
      • 11 Years

      I need to see more of him before i am convinced

  24. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    GTG guys?

    Panti(krul)
    Terry, clyne, PVA (wollscheid, Baird)
    Hazard(VC), puncheon, moses, wally(c), Sanchez
    Rooney, defoe (agüero)

  25. Bapilot747
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Puncheon or Di Maria

  26. samcro
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Been forced into a late wildcard due to injuries. The plan was next week. Any major issues with this team:

    Foster Panti
    Baird Bellerin Terry Bertrand Jones
    Eriksen JWP Sanchez Hazard Puncheon
    Rooney Giroud Defoe

    £2.3m in the bank for Aguero etc if required.

    1. Kloppinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Bit concerned over Baird and Bellerin but i guess you wont be playing them often

  27. Bakeyournoodle23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Keep Downing or Chadli?

  28. Kloppinho
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is triple arsenal attack too much?

    Caz / Sanchez / Giroud

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      at home to Villa looks a great tactic

      1. Kloppinho
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers ... just worried that Arsenal wont trash them as everyone expects, although trip to Spurs next week could end as goals fest!

    2. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah it's all good

  29. Goonther
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A) Erikson/Oscar + Rooney + Terry

    Or

    B) ADM + Aguero + Moreno

    1. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Erik, Aguero, Terry ???

  30. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Any late changes to this WC team?

    Foster
    Kosc Betrand PVA
    Hazard Walcott ADM Sterling
    Aguero Kane Giroud(C)

    Subs: Myhill, Boyd Terry Baird

    1. Kloppinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looks very good, good luck
