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.

                9 years, 2 months ago

                Not Hazard? As Aguero has Barca next week! I have been on Aguero all week but man city's performances at home have been poor!

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

  6. Red Devil Swede

    Play Clyne Kos PVA ahead of Jones, right?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years

      its Jones birthday though

      1. Red Devil Swede

        1. The Gambler.
          • 14 Years

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Thx, he's stuck on my bench as I think Swans will score anyway

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

              its more likely baggies and pool will score than swansea, start jones all day!

    Cheers.

    1. Rabbinton

    2. The Suspended One

    3. The Hound

      I'd spread the risk in this case.

    I always have my (c) locked in days before the deadline. Today I feel unusually insecure. Did mourinho say anything that would indicate a hazard rest?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years

      no, stick!

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

        Yeah I 90% will, not changing last minute has been working out well for me. I've had it on haz all week for good reason!

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      He will play the whole game

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        gotta love comments like this.

        Just add #FACT to make it a complete set of tosserishness

  9. 50 Shades Oshea

    does anyone reckon aguero will have reduced mins with the barc game in mind? i could see him starting bony...

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

      Defo, subbed off around 70 mins if more then 2 up. I'd expect him to be involved in something though.

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

        ye true..

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

      or just take Aguero off early.

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

        ye probably will play 60, but he could have hattrick by then...

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

      Doubt he'll start with Kun on the bench. But definitely might be taken off early.

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kun 60, bony 30

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

        ye i think you are probably right, going to captain chels player as burnley are so pooor away from home..

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

      Yup, concerned about that also... Which is why, amongst other reasons, kane is wearing my captain armband. But then another voice is telling me, how long can kane really keep his form? Will still go with kane though

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

        think i am going to go with costa...

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

          If I had him would go with him also. I have haz but feel that he'll do all the donkey work with fab and Costa on the points

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

      Best nailed on 90 from Kun, Haz and Kane?
      Kane IMO.
      Kun off early for Barca
      Haz rested or off early after mid week away and Cup Final next week and home to Burnley

      1. 50 Shades Oshea

        thanks all going with a costa punt

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

      Depends on team. Near DGWs otherwise.

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

        Would you use it for Spurs DGW? and also to bring in players like Yaya, Ozil in place of Silva, Caz etc?

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

          No way. Use your FTs.

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

          I should be ok for the DGW. Depends how much balancing of the team is needed.

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

      Until the DGW is announced, I have no idea.

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

        which DGW? they've already been announced

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years

          I meant for the ones still in the FA Cup.

        1. Les Bleus

          Yep. Absolutely no chance Hazard doesn't start 😉

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

    Why are people thinking of getting Rose or any Spurs defender in?
    6 clean sheets in 25 games, and that would be a waste of 2 FT to get then get rid, all that for one extra game against QPR away...

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

      Do you need to get rid?

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

        I don't trust Spurs, so wouldn't like to have a player other than Kane and Eriksen long term.

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

      They look a better team now than earlier in the season?

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

      Rose has all the makings of en epic DGW triumph. Echoes of BAE a few seasons back.

      He could of course only play one game too and get a 2pter.

    4. madame shelly
      • 9 Years

      lloris doing ok though. thinking of him for dgw and their fixtures pretty good thereafter

    Wisdom to Dawson(wba) and play him over Fonte, gtg?

    Panti (4.0)
    Clyne / Kos / Fonte* (Wisdom*/Baird)

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

      Yes and yes

  14. HarryS
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which 3 to play?

    A) Clyne
    B) Zouma
    C) van Aanholt
    D) Bellerin
    E) Wollscheid

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Clyne
      PVA
      Bellerin

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

    Who to captain? Aguero or kane?
    Kane is the one in for, but I can't fully grasp how good/bad West ham's defence is, they've had very mixed results of late. And i think Big Sam is starting to lose interest with no contract extension looming.
    Case can be made for Aguero so centre he's coming into force and Newcastle are playing their last 4 senior defenders. However, city have had mixed results of late which gives cause for concern.

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

      Yaya back = great news for Kun.

      1. Ready Manager One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        That is very true, the scale is starting to tip to Aguero now...

      Gil for me

      1. Les Bleus

          • 12 Years

          Under Sherwood it is likely to be different.

  17. Demel

    Team for today..

    Ospina
    Terry - Jones - Clyne -- PVA
    Hazard - Sanchez - Di Maria
    Aguero c - Kane - Giroud

    Foster - Puncheon - Haidara - Boyd

    I have 2 FT and £0.3m bank

    Plan is Baird > Haidara

    Good transfer?
    Right team layout?

    Tony Pulis has thanked fill-in full-backs Craig Dawson and Chris Brunt for coming to West Bromwich Albion’s rescue down the flanks.

    Dawson and Brunt have played at right-back and left-back respectively in recent weeks and it has coincided with an upturn in fortunes for the Baggies.

    This makes we worry about getting Dawson, is he just "filling in"?????????

      That's the article, read pulis comments

    Naismith getting 90 against Leicester?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Can't imagine so

  22. Art Vandelay

    If Clichy starts this week does it reduce the chances of him playing vs. Liverpool next week or will he play Liverpool either way due to it bring a tough fixture.

    Cheers for your speculation.

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

      I think Clichy is a better defender than Kolarov. So if he starts today he starts against Liverpool IMO.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He will definitely start against Liverpool.

      Who plays today is 50/50.

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

        Cheers will hang on then. My main concern is getting 11 out next week. Quite happy to see Lescott come off the bench this week, if necessary

  23. Louis

    Want to finally lose Cahill this week. Got about 6,5 to spend. Any ideas?

    1. The Suspended One

      Against burnley?

    My plan to play WC for GW 28 has been blown out the water with no Chelsea DGW!

    Foster
    Terry | Jones | Bellerin
    Silva | ADM | Hazard | Walcott
    Aguero | Giroud | Kane

    Myhill | Wisdom | Wasi | Boyd

    0.3ITB 1FT

    Aguero, Jones, Bellerin - All Doubts

    Hold out on them and ship Wisdom?

    will bellerin start arsenal fans?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He trained yesterday, so he should start.

  26. mipola

    Hope Dawson gets a red card this week.

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

      Na, this guy is likely to get a clean sheet, an assist as he is bombing forward at full back and a goal as he is a big set piece threat!

  27. FantasyFantast

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bench?

    PvA - Fonte - Hutton

    Leaning towards Fonte: Liverpool in good attacking shape and I think they will score, as well as a little differential with "everyone" else in top 10k most likely will play a Soton defender.

    just moved the armband off kun afte realised they are playing barca mid week, he might not even start at at least get 60min.

    now hazard or hurri(k)ane?

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard or augero for captain's choice?
      Can't really make up my mind!
      Worried Costa will once again steal all of hazard's points and on the other hands it s augero's playing minutes

  29. Tornado
    • 14 Years

    Anyone else captaining hazard over aguero as concerned about aguero minutes?

    1. micsway
      • 10 Years

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
