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.

      What do you think about Defoe? 🙂

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Might as well keep him. Could get Lukaku or Giroud but I want my FT!

        1. jernej93
          • 9 Years

          Is any Liverpool player essential? 🙂

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Not now! Moreno could be a cheeky punt though.

  5. RamaJama

    Bench order ok?

    1) Jones
    2) Baird
    3) Boyd

  6. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I'm benching Kane.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      for Bertrand

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Oh nevermind then. Living on the edge.

    2. Puyol Pants Up

      lol

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I rank the captains this week as:

      Aguero
      Kane
      Hazard

      so good luck.

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years

        Kane
        Aguero=Hazard

  7. dzonika14
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So,I will ask something that nobody asked....who to (C)
    A)Kun
    B)Hazard

    I'm asking because I'm not sure that Kun will play full match. He have CL against Barcelona.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Both good options.

      1. dzonika14
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yes,I know that...but who is better for you?

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Equal.

          1. dzonika14
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Ok,tnx

    2. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard for me this week. Aguero's still not quite in his all conquering premier form and will get taken off I think if City are a couple of goals to the good.

  8. 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 😀

    1. dzonika14
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      B imo

  9. Clump
    • 9 Years

    1. Epic Fail

      A) although think he will end up playing for you

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

    Which duo will score more points in the next 5-6 GWs if you had to guess?

    A) Sánchez + Mané

    B) Özil + Silva

    Ty!

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one! I'm going to say A

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

      A

    3. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I like A

  12. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Good to go with bench order and starting XI, lads?

    Pantilimon
    Azpilicueta | Fonte | PVA | Jones
    Hazard | Sanchez | ADM
    Aguero | Kane | Giroud

    Myhill | Puncheon | Wisdom | Boyd ----- + 1FT and 0.3m ITB

    1. Tree House
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Think I would start punch

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

    Can do Giroud to costa (c) for free but then will have to spend four points next week to field 11.

    I love you all... Is it worth it??

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

      No

      1. Tree House
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks

  14. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If you had Costa, would you captain him ahead of Kun?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Kun your captain?

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Or Hazard

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, if I had him.

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

      Would Captain Hazard ahead of both

    4. Tree House
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Most probably

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

      110% yes

    6. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No. Wouldn't captain him ahead of Haz or Kane either

    7. Rats Ass
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bringing Costa in for one GW is expensive. You're gonna have to sell or bench next week so you may want to maximise his points by captaining this week.

  15. Marty McFly
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one...

    A) Austin (hul)
    B) Mane (LIV)
    C) Johnson (WBA)

  16. Elniñorules
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Wayne Rooney has 1 Premier League goal in January over the last 4 seasons.

    1. SW6
      • 11 Years

      It's because he always fattens up over Xmas.

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

    In order to get 3 Spurs and Austin for GW28, I am planning on doing Terry to Vertonghen next week and benching him giving me two FTs in GW28 to bring in Eriksen and Austin.

    Is it worth the hassle or should I just take the hit to do it in GW28 and leave Tery in my squad.

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

      i wouldnt bother with spurs defender not good long term prospects so even with dgw costs transfers in and out your team... I wouldnt budge terry ...

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

        Sensible advice mate. The other option would be to bring in Lloris and that way I could keep Terry, have 11 in GW27 and 4 DGWers with no hit...

  19. Yome
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Haz C if you are chasing right?

    1. Emp

      ye as good a reason as any...

  20. chamakhmybitchup
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Currently sitting with:

    Foster
    Bertrand, Terry, Clyne, Bellerin, Wisdom
    Haz, Sanchez, ADM, Mane, Chadli
    Aguero, Kane, Defoe

    I want to make the moves over the next few weeks to get:

    Foster
    Betrand, Terry, Clyne, Bellerin, Zouma
    Haz, Sanchez, Eriksen, Mane, Ibe
    Aguero, Kane, Giroud

    Thoughts? Should I do this and if so, what would be the best way. I have 1FT and 0.2

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

      I like your proposed team, but I think that with Terry, Bertrand, Clyne and Bellerin already in your team, you don't need Zouma. Especially since Bellerin is already a slight rotation risk, so I wouldn't add another one. I would just replace Wisdom with some cheap nailed on player like PVA/Haidara.

      Next week you'll be missing Kane, Haz, Chadli and Terry plus Wisdom is likely to be benched. Since you wanna keep Kane, Haz & Terry (makes sense), you save this week and then get rid of Chadli and Wisdom next week.
