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.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Wolly Hutton

  5. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

      Not sure.

      I think he played 90 mins in Europa though...

  6. Richd
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    People laugh at Blackburn v Reading cup final. Both have been top 8 Prem teams in recent memory.

  7. red beard
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Owning & starting pva & Defoe makes it twisted starting foster over Panti, I just don't want all those eggs in one basket! I didn't realise having rotating keepers would give me this headache, if I did I wouldn't have signed up! P or F

  8. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Jedinak or Wanyama? For my 5th mid spot

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

      Jedinak easily

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

        Will he be nailed under Pardew?

    2. DynamoTomato
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jedinak - on penalties!

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jedinak

    4. Gooner97
      • 10 Years

      Jedi

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

        Cheers. Is he still nailed under Pardew?

  9. r4ndomduh
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Defoe out or will he play today?

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No-one knows.

  10. Reckoner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Did Hazard look totally out on his arse in the week? Why would legendary non-rotator Mourinho rest someone who hasn't got a game for a week?

    1. coran2123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yep Hazard was on his arse the whole 90, PSG kept scything him down

  11. DynamoTomato
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Would you start Foster or Pantillimon?

    Back three is Terry Jones Fonte (Van Aanholt Wisdom)

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

      Panti for me

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

        If in doubt go for home team with keeps

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I chose Foster....but really hard decision indeed...

  12. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Stick or twist?

    Panti
    PVA, Terry, Hutton, (Wasilewski, Berty)
    Silva, ADM, Hazard, Sanchez (Boyd)
    Kane, Kun, Defoe

    Wasi to Bellerin?

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

      Save transfer.

  13. sneaky16
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Why are people keeping Defoe? Surely not going to want him next week and there seem like some much better form players around?

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

      Apart from manure, got good fix's, and manure is hardly a fortress atm

      1. sneaky16
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        True but they don't concede a lot of goals. He's gonna get shipped for Austin for the dgwk anyway so long term fixtures probably not gonna come into it. I'm getting rid

    Hey Lads,

    I have 2FT, 2M in the bank and no pressing issues beside Defoe maybe... So I was thinking to transfer him out but again, no standout option out there I think. Already got Kun and Kane
    Any advice appreciated!
    Another thing... Should I start Clyne or Bellerin?
    Think you! 🙂

  24. blind faith
    • 12 Years

    Has anyone brought Costa or Yaya in?
    If so... For who?!

  25. Louis
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which one to bench?
    Wollscheid avl
    Bellerin cry
    Van Aanholt WBA
    Clyne LIV

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

      I've benched woll. I would recommend the same for you

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

    RMT pls (before I go crazy)

    DDG
    Clichy - Terry - pva
    Haz-sanchez-silva-downing
    Kun (vc) - gir - Kane (c)

    Bench: Panti - Dawson - wolschield

    Should I take off downing and put in Dawson? This is West Brom's Dawson btw. Assuming I keep downing is PVA better than Dawson?

  27. Bakeyournoodle23

      B..wasi to stones maybe if you need the .4m

  29. Johnny98
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Why are people saying start Fonte over Bellerin? Bellerin trained and if he features would most likely be from the start. Do people here really doubt Liverpool that much or do they have their Soton Shades on?

  30. Sponge-worthy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which cleanie is more likely to happen? Villa or Southampton?
    So should I play hutton or fonte?
