Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 27

In an attempt to outfox Paddy this week, we’ve backed Manchester City’s elusive playmaker, Burnley’s talismanic striker and Newcastle’s top scorer to find their range this weekend.

Newcastle’s home clash against Aston Villa has us eyeing up Senegalese forward Papiss Cisse in our first wager of the week. The rangy frontman has recorded six goals in his last ten outings, scoring on average every 84 minutes. Moreover, Cisse has notched three braces so far this term, of which two were achieved in second-half cameos. As such, we think Paddy’s 10/1 odds on Cisse to score two or more goals against Tim Sherwood’s side are worthy of our first £3 investment.

We’re putting faith in Danny Ings to spark a Burnley win on Saturday as they host Swansea City at Turf Moor. Ings has been a revelation for the Clarets and approaches this fixture in great shape, having tallied five goals in their previous seven matches. The fact he’s scored in each of Burnley’s last three home clashes gives us further reason to part with another £3 and snap up Paddy’s 9/1 offer on Ings to score two or more goals against Swansea.

Our last, and favourite, bet this week has us backing David Silva to build upon last weekend’s brace and deliver a dominant performance at Anfield. The Spanish midfielder has netted three times in his previous four outings and proved his capacity to influence big matches with his goal at Stamford Bridge last month. With the 29-year-old in such fine form, we’re happy to take up Paddy’s 11/4 offer on Silva to score against Liverpool and hand over our remaining £4.

      I'd say that's good to go - solid team! Even the lack of those 3 players still leaves you better placed than many others.

    My team is set up nicely. Krul in goal, jones, fonte and wolly as centre backs with baird and PVA pushing down the flanks. In midfield I got silva, ADM and sanchez constantly shifting positions and up top aguero just behind defoe creating havoc :-).

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

      I've basically got 3 wing backs, 3 wingers and 3 strikers 😛

      Did you know that the chemical symbol for Silva is Ag. That's an omen if ever I saw one.

      You might be leaky at the back when your fullbacks don't show up.

    Sorry for the repost…

    As will be made abundantly clear….i am a bit confused right now.

    DDG
    Yoshida PVA Clichy Wisdom
    Boyd Henderson(Yellow Flag) Sanchez© Cazorla
    Defoe Aguero

    Krul Fab Kane Terry

    1.4 ITB
    2FT

    a) Terry > Naughton/ Reveillere/ Dawson/ Wollscheid
    and then,
    upgrade another defender to Terry/Ivanovic next GW (Will pay extra 0.1M on Terry if i take him back)

    b) Terry and PVA/Wisdom > 2 of Naughton/ Reveillere/ Dawson/ Wollscheid

    c) Keep Terry. PVA/Wisdom > Naughton/ Reveillere/ Dawson/ Wollscheid

    HELP!

    1. nosejob
      • 9 Years

      I'd be dealing with Wisdom only if I were you.

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

      I'd use 1 FT to get rid of Wisdom.

      It sounds okay but you'll want Ivanovic back

      1. wedgec
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I just figured Berty will score more than 4 points greater over the next two, so worth it even if it costs a hit to get Ivan back!

  9. nosejob

    Sanchez.
    Aguero.
    Sanchez.
    Aguero.

      1. nosejob
        • 9 Years

        Away from home at Liverpool though?!

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

        You havent captained Aguero i'm guessing….

    2. wedgec

      d

    3. Fantasy Football Engineer
      • 9 Years

      Aguero

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

        Thanks - would you change your mind if your rival didn't have Aguero and is likely to captain Sanchez?

    4. Piksau
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez!

  10. banskt
    • 10 Years

  11. SwindonSteve

    Best Stoke defender to get in?

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

      Wollscheid. I don't know why though! Capable of a goal maybe.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Wollsceid for now probably

    Came home late last night to find my entire midfield (minus Downing) is in the Scout Picks, I'm screwed aren't I?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      Not this week. Some good selections in there

  13. marcus2704
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If you are chasing in a ML, is it worth captaining Aguero considering almost everyone else will and most teams are template? I think this is a week for a differential captain, as awful as United are - gut says go for ADM (C)

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Depends how far behind you are.

      Go with your gut

      1. marcus2704
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Im 126 points off the top guy, dont think I will be winning my ML this year, he has current OR of 126, Chasing second really which is about 50 points.

  14. DF
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero Rooney or Sanchez for captain if my aim is damage limitation in the top 1k?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero or Sanchez

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Think it'll be split between the pair.

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

          I think you're right. It's on Rooney at the moment and I don't feel comfortable.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero

  15. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Two questions:

    1) best defender to bring in for 4.9
    2) would you take a hit to bring in Rose next week?

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Best Midfielder for 4.9! Sorry

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

      i'd save and get Rose free

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Will Rose play both games though

    3. andy85wsm

  16. Chinese_person
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Defoe out for Sakho
    B) Wisdom out for Tomkins
    C) Grow a pair and make my own damn decisions?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      C
