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.

    Ospina
    Clyne Bellerin PVA
    Hazard Sanchez ADM Eriksen Sterling
    Aguero Kane

    Ings Wisdom Muniesa

    2 FT and 0 ITB. Really unsure of what to do lads!

    Maybe Muniesa --> Bruce ??

    Thanks heaps!

  2. gunner1994

    Start Clyne or Bruce?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Start the second best defensive team in the league with a top 5 defender or a player not sure to start? I'll have to go with Clyne.

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

        was thinking of doing that actually...

        baines - Van anholt - Terry - Hutton back line

        with di maria sanchez and hazard

        kun kane and n'doye or defoe

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd go bruce tbh! Pool will score today!

  3. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years

    Walcott >> Ozil for FT.. Yay or Nay?

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

      nay

      look at my q below plz 🙂

    2. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yay

  4. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Play:

    A) PvA & Foster
    B) PvA & Panti

    Cheers.

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

    Currently on Aguero (c)

    Why do people favour Hazard (c) ??

    Is it because Aguero won't play the full 90?

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

      Id say aguero is good for a goal

      this week its either aguero or kane

      hazard is still a midfielder..

      help me below plz 🙂

    2. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Partly, yes

      But also Burnley are weaker than Newcastle imo, and Costa is back too.

    3. che
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Think Haz might be rested for Cup Final and Kun for Barca. Just switched to Kane (been rested during the week already)

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

        The cup final is a whole week away

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

          Still a risk though. Can see a cameo against Burnley if not winning and Kun coming off early. Kane on form and rested

  6. Met Eish
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Punch for James Milner. 1 week punt? I have 2ft and my team as follows:

    Panti/Foster

    PVA/Terry/Clyne/Trippier/Bellerin
    Hazard(c)/Sanchez/Punch/Boyd/Silva
    Kane/Kun/Giruuu

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      nice team.

      Presume you haven't got enough for Sig?

      1. Met Eish
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        nope. only .4 itb

        Im in the top 4k and need a nice 1 week punt differential worth 6m.

        Not many around unfortunately

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          What about Ki?

          Scored something 45 points in his last 8 full matches.

        2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Did you listen to me? =]

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

      Milner is injured, mate

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Presume he meant, Milner out, Punch in.

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

      Certainly no since Milner is injured.

  7. omibrahimom
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Baines for kosielny ?

    B) N'doye for defoe?

    C) Benteke for defoe?

    Foster/Begovic

    Kosielny - Van anholt - hutton - terry

    Sanchez - Di Maria - Hazard - Puncheon

    Kane - Aguero - Defoe

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      All no. Save

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

      None save

  8. Jonny Sutt
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I think liverpool and west brom are likely to score today, I know they are both away but I'm keeping pva and clyne out of my team!

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

    Play one -

    Dawson (Sunderland)
    Bellerin (Palace)
    PVA (West Brom) (I have Pantilimon)

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

      Bellerin>Dawwson>PVA

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers

    2. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bellerin

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

        Thanks Bellerin it is.

    3. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      dawson, i'd play bellerin ahead of any saints defender u might have too

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

        I have Clyne... I also have Sanchez and Giroud which is enough Arsenal coverage I have.

  10. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who is planning 2 FTs for GW27?

    1. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lol

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

      it seems I'll end up with 2FTs but probably won't use them

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        You'll find a reason to use 1.

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

          yeah, Defoe and Wolleschied are glaring at me.

          But I guess I'll prefer to carry over one or both and get two Spurs for the double.

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

            If you carry two over, you won't be able to use them on Spurs players next week, which is the issue. (Assuming two Chelsea)

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

              how do you mean?

              I meant that I would have 2FT for next GW, assuming I carry them over I will have 2FT for 28, e.g. for the double, or have I missed something? Even If I do one transfer I would still have 2 FT for 28

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What have you got up your sleeve TM? Are you going to do something a little unorthodox?

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Me. Unless I do ADM --> Yaya

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

      Posted about this earlier. The problem is the players you want to bring in will have a blank (Assuming you can get 11 out)

  11. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I see a few getting Mane in,I feel a little uneasy with him 1st sub

  12. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    would Walcott start?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      unsure, and that in itself makes him not a great pick

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

    Switched (c) from Haz to Kane. Feels much better

    1. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I did Aguero to kane... I feel nervous...

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

        R u not nervous that Kun might come off or be rested with Barca in midweek? Especially with Bony there now. Kane was rested midweek as well

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hmm I just did the opposite! Burnley defence v poor

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

    Are people sticking with Santi at this point? Can't afford the upgrade to YYT so thinking of Silva.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Have Santi & Silva. Wish I could get rid of both in a way.

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

        Cheers TM. who would you bring in for Santi this week? The plan was Santi to Eriksen for GW28 but going off Santi rather quickly. Why so bearish on Silva? The Bony effect?

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

          ive got the cash to upgrade santi to yaya, but it would be a for a hit, worth it?

      2. V-2 Schneiderlin
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        downgrade one to Mane and upgrade the other to YYT?

  15. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Play Puncheon or Monreal???

    1. wycombewanderers
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Punch

  16. MARVELLUS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Cannot see a transfer to do with my wifes team!
    Zouma out I think should wait until next week, got 2 FT'S already. What to do?? Never wasted a transfer before...

    Panty (Foster)
    Zouma Terry Clyne (Bellerin, PVA)
    Silva Hazard(c) Cazorla Sterling (Cork)
    Aguero Giroud Kane

    Thanks. Zilch in bank.

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'd leave Zouma in personally.

  17. RangerMouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pantilimon (Elliot)
    Ivanovic - Clyne - Haidara - (N.Taylor, Wollscheid)
    Sanchez - Mane - Hazard - Shelvey (Boyd)
    Giroud - Gayle - Aguero(C)

    1FT 2.3mill spare, what changes to make?

  18. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    who to captain

    A) costa

    B) aguero

    C) haszard

    1. 50 Shades Oshea

        • Has Moderation Rights

        No problem.

    2. wycombewanderers
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Haz

    3. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Think I'd go Costa if I had him, I'm on Hazard at the moment

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        would normally go aguero, but with barc on tuesday may go with a chels player. thanks.

    4. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      D) Kane, if no kane then aguero

      1. 50 Shades Oshea

        ye kane does tempt me...

  19. The Gambler.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    currently Phil Jones is on my bench but I just found out its his birthday.

    should I start him?

    Pva - Terry - Koscielny

    (Jones, Dawson)

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      would be a lovely present for him.

  20. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    G2G and save the FT? Or make a change or two?

    Panti

    Terry - Clyne - Kosc (Wisdom - Hutton)

    Hazard (C) - Cazorla - Sterling - Di Maria (Boyd)

    Aguero - Giroud - Kane

    Been thinking Di Maria or Sterling out but prob not worth it as they could bring the points. Wsidom out but then seems like a wase of a transfer seeing as I am not starting him.

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

      Save

    2. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Team looks balanced and threatening, only change required is wisdom

  21. wycombewanderers
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Would you start jwp or Dawson please? Thanks

  22. V-2 Schneiderlin
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Just switched to Haz captain from Kane based on Burnleys defensive record - I think it's the way to go

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      ye i think you are right away from home they are poor...

  23. Pecky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I'm starting Clyne (LIV) and have bench order of PVA (WES), Bellerin (cry), Ibe (sou). Correct and good to go?

  24. JCrosbie
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    going forward?
    1. ozil or
    2.yaya

    A. lescott or
    B, wolly

    1. Isco Disco

      Decide after the game for 1/2
      Lescott

  25. jam

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Play Bruce or Moreno..?

  26. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What should I do?

    Panti, Foster
    Terry, Bertrand, Monreal, PvA, Wisdom
    Sanchez, ADM, Mane, Hazard, Albrighton
    Aguero, Kane, Giroud

    1 FT. 1.3 ITB

    A) ADM ---> Yaya

    (Yaya has NEW at home and has a low ownership, could be a decent differential and is in great form, ADM in the other hand...)

    B) Save FT

    (Could be useful to get rid of the likes of Albrighton and Wisdom to help field a Full 11 next GW.)

    Cheers 😀
