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.

    Take a hit to do Defoe > Sakho?

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

      Nah. UTD are crap and Defoe starts a goal up

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you have full 11 stay put. If you don't use your hit to field 11

      1. Tronity

        Yeah good point - it's probably not the week to be making luxury transfers!

      See below: highly tempted.

      Not sure about a hit for that to be honest

    Stoke without ShawX, but against Hull.. do you think they'll keep a cleanie?

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

      Doubt it
      Not a CS machine anymore

    2. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…

      N'Doye and Jelly starting to look good together . . . I think maybe not.

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

      Not sure about it to be honest. Have a Stoke defender but wouldn't be rushing to bring them in

  3. Ostrich Baby
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Considering saving my transfer with 1m in the bank, what do you think?

    Krul

    PvA Bruce Bellerin Naughton

    Sterling Silva ADM Cazorla

    Aguero (c) Gayle

    Courtois, Hazard, Kane, Rose

    Slightly concerned about a few (PvA, Cazorla, Gayle), but not sure any one of them is hugely worth the transfer.

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

      Save. Think your assessment is right

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    David Silva 9 goals 14 SoT - overachieving
    Raheem Sterling 6 goals 25 SoT - explosion imminent

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed !!

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

      Not sure why you keep asking. Clearly made your own mind up already. Just get Sterling.

    3. The class of 92
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Silva... More composed in front of goal than sterling

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

      The Newcastle game was a bit of a freak

  5. Costa in Wengerland
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Can we please skip this GW :S

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

      Sure. Don't make any transfers.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years

      You can dance the fandango this GW for all I care 🙂

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

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

      I'm looking forward to it.

      Probably won't be saying that after!

      1. Costa in Wengerland
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Lets hope

  6. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Highly tempted to do Defoe to Sakho for a hit. Defoe would go straight to Austing next week anyway, so it's purely about this week: will Sakho get four more points than Defoe? I think so ....

    1. sneif4
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Tough call. Man U aren't the best at keeping clean sheets though

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

      He may get 4 points more than Defoe but our defence is terrible. Defoe could score.

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…

      Thanks guys, you're probably right.

  7. supperspout
    • 11 Years

    playing wc and leaving in 3 blank players. genius or madness?

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

      Depends on the whole team.

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

      Really depends on who you've picked.

      I'll go with genius.

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

    Looking for a 1 week midfield punt £8.6m.

    Is theres any chance of Mata starting with RVP out?

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Chance, but certainly not worth a transfer.

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

        Thats what i was thinking. Any suggestions?

        1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Sterling, Siggy, or Walters come to mind.

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

      Always a chance but wouldn't risk it to be honest.

  9. sneif4
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Any reason to get rid of Hutton or PVA for a hit?

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

      If you can't field 10 players

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

      To bring in season keepers. Good excuse to fix your team. Don't do it if it's just a one week fix.

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

        This

        1. sneif4
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I might do Hutton to Dawson then

    3. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Any villa player let alone a defender for a hit is madness

  10. The class of 92
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Krul
    Clyne Dawson PVA Bellerin
    Silva Cork Cazorla ADM.
    Aguero (C) Giroud

    Pants Hazard Kane Zouma, 2 FT, 3.6 in the bank

    A) Cazorla > Sanchez
    B) Zouma > Wollscheid
    C) Zouma > Naughton
    D) other

    Hey lads! Some help please.

    Got 2FTs, how do you reckon I should use them?

    Foster Panti
    Ivanovic Clyne Bellerin Bruce Wisdom
    Hazard Sanchez ADM Silva Lucas
    Aguero Giroud Kane

    Thinking of doing Wisdom > Haidara & Lucas > Cork so that I have playing XI this week.

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

      I don't like those 2 transfers longer term to be honest. Haidara fixtures poor after this week

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

        I just need him to play this week which I reckon he will. Wisdom is falling in price anyway and I got him ages ago for 4.0

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

    Sanchez last 3
    6 shots
    3 SiB
    0 SoT
    Risky to captain him? Opinions welcome.

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

      Risky yeah. Still a top player.

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

      I'm so tempted by Walters

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

    Who is the best player to be captain this GW?

    a) ADM
    b) Sanchez
    c) Giroud
    d) aguero

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

      Aguero

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

    I'm expecting no less than 20 points this week

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

      You'll score lots more!

  15. Vamos Sergios

    1. Vamos Sergios

    would love a big haul this week with the average been low as most managers focus on the double and who to sell Hazard/Ivanovic/Fab for

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

      Depends on the rest of your team.

      Easier to give us options to pick from A,B,C etc etc

  24. ralfb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Waht to do, have only 11 playing players, but that includes pva wally and giroud.
    Should i make any free transfers or save it for next week?

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

      Save. 2/3 of those could start

      1. ralfb
        • 9 Years

        Ta

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

      I only have XI with Baird, Johnson and PvA. This week will be low scoring. Captain choice is key.

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

      I got in Berdtrand

      Ivanovic

      1. Takedog1

    I'd love to swamp him with ADM for coming GWs

  28. Evasivo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Just about have a starting 11 so reluctant to use my FT, prefer to have 2 for next week's DGW. As im also sure my competitors will either field less than 11 or have to take points hits.

    Thoughts?

    Panti
    Naughton Jones Fonte Wolls
    Sanchez(vc) Yaya Walters Boyd

    Ospina
    Bellerin - PVA - Naughton - Bruce - Clyne
    Sanchez - ADM - Sterling
    Aguero - Ings
