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.

    Hey Guys,

    Sell kosielny and defoe for:
    Sell puncheon and defoe for:

    A) Baines and Ndoye
    B) Benteke and El mohammady

    Foster

    Kosielny - Va anholt - Hutton - Terry

    Sanchez - Hazard - Di Maria - Puncheon

    Kun - Kane - Defoe

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

      I'd be tempted to keep Puncheon and Defoe this week at least. Otherwise probably A.

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

        I had defoe for 2 weeks.. huge bust. and I think baines return would be nice but then again kosielny is home next week..

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi all, some help needed! Should I do:

    A) Wisdom --> xxx
    B) Cazorla --> Sanchez
    C) Both
    D) Neither

    I can get Sanchez in next week as long as he doesn't rise beyond £11.4.

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

    Pantilimon
    Zouma - van Aanholt - Clyne
    Haz (c) - Sterling - Cazorla - Mane
    Aguero (vc) - Giroud - Kane

    Hamer - Bellerin - Wisdom - Colback

    2FT £0.0m in the bank, any suggestions?

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

      Zouma -> Wollscheid
      Play Bellerin ahead of Clyne.

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

        Surely Wisdom -> Wollscheid. Zouma will probably play

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

          No cash...

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

      Very similar team to mine. Are you worried about not having Sanchez? I also have Wisdom, who needs to go at some point.

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

      Wisdom

  6. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    For some reason i overlook Kane for captain every week.. think i'll just try it out on him this week over Hazard/Kun .. need to get over this kane captaining fear

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not this week, it will go wrong. Europa league hangover

      1. Efan Ekoku Pops
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        This is what's putting me off the idea. Otherwise he would be the best pick.

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I look at Hazard and i see rest issues... Aguero could be a great bet but i'm just not feeling it. Did the big boys play in Europa? i thought Eriksen/Kane etc got a rest

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Kane got a rest. The whole team plays badly though. Hazard shouldnt need a rest, chelsea had 3 shots at psg

  7. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone taking a punt on Bony??

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years

      What's rule #?

      He won't start

        *1

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

          Never bench, never captain 😉

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years

            Read rule 3 again

      2. Breadbin
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        You invented those rules.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years

          Do you disagree with them though?

      3. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Can't see why not

        2 up front

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

          He said himself he lacks fitness

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

            I don't get this

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

              Bony said that he isn't fit. There is a quote somewhere. He only just joined City so it's no surprise he thinks he isn't ready

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

      Pellegrini.

  8. Hurricane

    Sanchez to Ozil for free. Madness?
    Cheers!

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years

      why would u do that?

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

        Ozil seems to be in great form. Sanchez is just back from injury.
        Also, this would allow me to do Giroud--> Sturridge in 2 weeks time.

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 10 Years

          i would rather save a FT

  12. The_Colonel

    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best defender for under 4.6 for next few weeks? I'm thinking Wolly

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wolly or pva

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

      Thinking him or Dawson.
      Dawson worse fixtures but team better at cs, more chance of assists.

    Foster

    Sanchez | Hazard (C) | Silva | Cazorla
    Aguero (V) | Giroud | Kane

    3. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      • 10 Years

    Start -

    A) Lloris

      Lloris

    1. AncelottiGapYear

    A very good analysis on choosing a captaining this week from Demi - http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/02/18/team-analysis-assessing-pulis-west-brom/?hc_page=2#hc_comment_9753887

      Still confused

      1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Me too. I get it wrong every week!!!

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

    Lloris

  23. He Kane He Saw He Conquered
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Defoe -> Bentekkers or save? Only have 9 starting next week

  24. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Start a WBA defender over a AVL defender?

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

      Yes

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

      I would, villa likely to be less defensive and more attacking.

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

      Nope

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

    Im having last minute jitters about my hazard (c). Thinking of swapping to Kane. I'm nirmally so decided by this point! Scared he may get a rest.

    1. Bootsy: Snoddy's Reven…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kun or Haz only options

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

        I've talked myself out of it already anyway, spurs have tended to be hopeless after Europa.

  26. Kurtinho
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Any United fans (or other knowledgeable folk) think Jones will start this week? Or do you think Smalling and Rojo will keep their spots?

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

      Search online. If Jones trained with the team yesterday, 99% he will start

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

        He did. So you think Smalling will be dropped for him?

  27. Bumbaclot

    Morning everyone 🙂

    Pants
    Terry/Wolly/Fonte

    Saving my FT this week seems the sensible move as I am fairly content with my team, but next week I am forced to make a transfer I don't really want to do as I am looking ahead to the DGW. Anyone else getting themselves tied up in this sort of nonsense logic?
