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.

      Yup. You lose too much when a defender concedes

      Yep

  3. TonyVilliers

    Anyone dumping Aguero for Bony? I see no injury concern about Aguero on the FM site, but rumours persist

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

      No chance!

    2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus

      Bad move imo

      He'll play. Wait and watch for Bony.

      Ok cheers all!

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

    Ok, after thorough research, down to two options, who to bring in, to start the next few (max 4.8)

    a) Wollshied (better fixtures)
    b) Dawson (team in better form, more chance of attacking points)
    c) someone else?? not PVA.

    Thinking A.

  5. madame shelly

    9 years, 2 months ago

    am i nuts to avoid costa this week with all my ml rivals have him ?
    got sturridge kun and kane ?

  6. ۩۞۩Tommo727™۩۞۩

    What's the go with zouma? Why are people getting rid? 8 points last week and likely to start against burnley, he's only young and is gaining more experience and faith from mourinho every game.

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

      He's not nailed on.

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

      Takes up a chelsea spot. Want 3 of thier players but not with doubts over starts

    3. futbolnotsoccer
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not getting rid due to other moves I want to make...but I don't feel comfortable with him on my squad yet. Rotation Risk.

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He will be benched for Cahill at least a few times, IMO.

  7. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Fabregas starting? Would be a straight swap for Oscar (but hes ill apparantly)

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

      I think that he won't start

      Didn't look fit midweek and Jose took a risk

    2. Cousin Greg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He will start.

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

      Keep Oscar for this game at least

  8. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which one to bench? Bellerin, PVA, Zouma or Jones. Thinking Jones.

    1. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking right

    2. Cousin Greg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jones

  9. coran2123
    • 10 Years

    Question for my fellow Wally owners..

    With his uncertain gametime, are you keeping him or switching to Ozil/Yaya etc etc

    1. Cousin Greg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      keeping

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

        Keep for me

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Have more pressing concerns ATM, and there are few midfielders who I'd be more conifdent grabbing a goal or assist in a 20-minute cameo. That said, the rotation concerns and aready having Sanchez means he'll likely be the one to make way for Eriksen in 28.

  10. Vardy Gras PBFC
    • 10 Years

    Play Downing v TOT or Colback v MCI?

    1. Syd.

      Downing

        RMT tells me Aguero, but has Haz on more pts. Wtf.

    Save so I can sort defence next week?

    Foster
    Hutton - Clyne - Azpi
    walcott - Sanchez - Hazard (c) - fab
    Kun - Kane - Giroud

    Myhill - Boyd - Wisdom - Wasilewski.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yep, fine.

  17. Niemi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Don't know where to spend a transfer, have 2FT so I can't save it.

    Pantillimon - Krul
    Ivanovic - Bellerin - Wollscheld - Naughton - Van Aarnholt
    Sanchez - Hazard - Silva - Fabregas - Moses
    Aguero - Giroud - Kane

    0,0ITB. Biggest issue IMO is no WBA and I need to get rid of Fabregas ahead of the double GW (but it's stupid to get rid ahead of Burnley at home IMO)

    1. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds boring but I would do Krul to Foster

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

        Can't afford with 0.0ITB

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

      Yeah nothing to do really. Doesn't make sense to drop Fab this week or downgrade Moses since you need him next week. If you want some WBA cover, maybe a dull Panti --> Foster move since you already have PVA? But you can only afford this if you got Panti for 4.6...

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

      Very nice team, almost too nice... really difficult to make a move.

      Next GW you have 10 playing, so one option could be to lose one Chelsea player. I guess it depends on the purchase price and how much you have ITB. The Burnley home game makes it really difficult.

      I suspect that for GW 28 you want Kane and Eriksen, and possibly one of Rose, Austin, Bentaleb, Vertonghen... or Lloris.

      One option that comes to mind is Pants to Lloris, play Lloris-Krul-Lloris(DGW). Then next week you can do Fabs to ADM/someone, and GW 28 AMD to Eriksen... this way you'd have 11 playing on GW 27 and 3 on the DGW.

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

        Damn, didn't see the 0.0 ITB.
