The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 26

With bragging rights over Paddy at stake, we’ve backed the Tigers’ latest recruit, Villa’s struggling striker and Arsenal’s form playmaker to bring home the bacon.

Hull City’s home tie against Queens Park Rangers has us eyeing up the Tigers’ new striker Dame N’Doye. The Senegalese international notched a goal and an assist on his debut last week and will fancy his chances against an R’s rearquard that’s only mustered two shut-outs in their previous 10 outings. Meanwhile, Steve Bruce’s men have recorded two clean sheets in their last three home clashes, so we’ll happily take up Paddy’s 9/2 offer on N’Ddoye to score and Hull to keep a clean sheet against QPR to the tune of £3.

For our second bet, we’re putting faith in Tim Sherwood to kick start Christian Benteke’s season as Aston Villa play host to an injury-ridden Stoke City side that’s fallen to consecutive 4-1 defeats. Despite not scoring in the Villans’ 2-1 FA Cup win over Leicester City, the imposing Belgian striker was a thorn in their side, fashioning as many shots at goal (ten) as the entire Foxes outfit. As such, we see Paddy Power’s 5/1 offer on Benteke to score and Aston Villa to keep a clean sheet as worthy of a £4 investment and make this our bet of the week.

We’ve reserved our final wager for the weekend’s first London derby, as Crystal Palace welcome Arsenal to Selhurst Park. Gunners playmaker Mesut Ozil is at the forefront of our minds for this encounter, having tallied two goals and three assists since his return from injury. Considering Arsenal have registered shut-outs in three of their last five, and Paddy are offering 13/2 on Mesut Ozil to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against Palace, we’re more than willing to part with our remaining £3.

    1. Business Dog
      • 9 Years

      Yaya

  2. Niemi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Fabregas and Bellerin to Ozil and Dawson/Lescott? Sorts out no WBA and no need to use a FT on Fabregas out next week..

    Yay or nay?..

    1. jaredwilliams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bellerin not playing?

      1. Niemi
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I don't know, probably he will play. But he is taking an Arsenal spot, I don't think he will play every week and I don't think the Arsenal defense is that great..

        1. JariL
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Are you sure you wanna tripple up on their attack though?

          1. Niemi
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Hmm.. Don't know where to spend a transfer then, don't like wasting a transfer (can't save it)

        2. jaredwilliams
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          They have Palace though.. I don't think it's paramount that you have a WBA defender..

    Pick 2 to play this week:

    Cahill
    Bellerin
    PVA (double up with Panti)

    1. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cahill, Bellerin

    2. jaredwilliams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cahill/Bellerin

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      Spread the risk
      Bench PVA, I am

    4. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably only two will play anyway. PVA and one of the others

  4. Hamstergod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone with Defoe? Keeping or selling? If selling for who?

    1. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Prob keep and save ft , was considering benteke or one of the west brom boys

      1. Hamstergod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        thanks, wanted to sell him earlier this week but I guess I'll give him another chance

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years

      Keeping

      1. Hamstergod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Wave of Mutilation
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sold for Lukaku. Don't trust his bad wheel to last 60 minutes, and don't like the WBA matchup. Also considered Giroud.

  7. Jay10

    Who to play?
    Gil or Mane?

    1. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mane

      1. Jay10
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        The opponents defence is affecting my defence,Liverpool are way better than Stoke atm.

  8. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Will Yaya play today?

    1. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably

    2. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      he's their best way to reignite their title bid, so I'd say yes

  9. Scab
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Bruce or wolly

    First to 3!

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

      Bruce
      Stoke are falling apart with injuries

    2. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bruce, Stoke have conceded 8 in their last 2 and have most of their defenders injured

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Though I notice that's not what Team News is saying

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

      Neither will get to 3pts, imo

      1. Scab
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Any recommendations on a sub 4.5 defender?

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Not really Scab, having shocking season so best not take advice from me 😛

        2. Bojaninho
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Naughton, Bruce ,pva depending on who you have

    4. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      it's not like any of them will give you points.
      flip a coin 🙂

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Villa haven't been scoring goals. They might change that, not too much of a gamble that they won't.

  10. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Tadic and Cazorla > Mane and Ozil for free worth it?

    1. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

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

      You'll probably regret it
      Seems ok, but I'd save a transfer

      Just Tadic to Mane?

    3. che

  15. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone think can might be benched this week or, more worryingly, GW27? Is it time for Him to leave? He is a placeholder for Eriksen for the time being but might just bring in Silva this week then ADM to Eriksen GW28.

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds good, he is reverse oop

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you. My only concern is using an FT ahead of a week when squads will be stretched.

  19. 2 goals 1 cup
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    How much of an impact wil Dummet being out have on Newcastles defensive resolve? Their chances conceded is pretty low in the last 6, so I'm currently with Hazard for the armband. Unless anyone thinks Newcastle will be leaky without Dummet?

    1. Andy1

      No more than they have been

      Apart from 5 mins last game he hasn't played for weeks. Haidara and Janmat been full backs

    3. Isco Disco
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kun played the full 90 minutes the game before the City-Bayern one.
      10 days rest for him.
      Yaya back from the African Cup.

      When Chelsea score big, Hazard isn't usually on the scoresheet.
      Didn't train before the CL game, got fouled many times, so Mourinho might rest him now so he can play the cup final midweek.

  28. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Stuck at the bottom of the last page so repost -

    Bench two from these:

    Terry (Burnley)
    Clyne (Liverpool)
    Dawson (Sunderland)
    PVA (West Brom) (I also have Pantilimon who will be playing)
    Bellerin (Palace)

    I'm think I should bench Bellerin and PVA.

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

      Probably right
      Though Bellerin and Dawson is a coin flip

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeahhh. I can see palace scoring but Bellerin's attacking threat also needs to be taken into consideration.

      Ye, but I keep changing to Yaya and back. I think with the rotation last Thursday he will do well though. I just hope Poch doesn't play him with Soldado again, he will be deeper and less effective.

    Okay last question, very important.

    If I DON'T captain Costa, is it still worth bringing him in this week? I don't mind playing with 10 GW27..

      What's really the point if you don't captain him?
