Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 36

In our quest to outsmart Paddy this Gameweek, we’ve looked to Aston Villa’s red-hot frontman, Manchester City’s twinkle-toed playmaker and the Potters’ long-range specialist.

Our first bet of the weekend has us backing Christian Benteke to perpetuate his astonishing scoring streak. The Belgian hitman recorded ten goals in his last eight starts, bagging a brace last time out against Everton. Ally this with the fact that Villa’s opponents this week, West Ham United, have netted just four goals in the last eight Gameweeks, and Paddy’s 11/1 offer on Benteke to score two or more goals and Villa to keep a clean sheet looks worthy of a £3 investment.

Having drawn blanks in his previous five outings, David Silva is in the midst of a quiet patch on the goal front, yet a home tie against strugglers Queens Park Rangers serves as the perfect catalyst. The R’s have tallied one shut out in their last 10 and failed to score in two of their last three, encouraging us to take up Paddy’s 13/5 odds on Silva to score and City to keep a clean sheet. Indeed, we make this our bet of the week and part with a further £4.

Our final wager in this round of fixtures centres around Stoke City’s Charlie Adam as he gears up for Tottenham Hotspur’s visit on Saturday. The Scottish midfielder has been in prolific form of late, notching three goals in five starts. Meanwhile, the Lilyhwhites have not troubled the scoresheet in four of the past seven Gameweeks, giving us ample reason to capitalise on Paddy’s 12/1 offer for Adam to score and Stoke to keep a clean sheet, handing over our final £3.

    Who would you start out of Duff, Van Aanholt, Moreno?

    1. Wishdom Teeth
      • 10 Years

      pva

    2. SAINTS

      8 years, 12 months ago

      I have more or less the same issue. Currently on Skrtl.

        8 years, 12 months ago

        It's impossible isn't it?

        Pool are defending ok ATM, and Chelsea have nothing to play for...

        1. SAINTS
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          Exactly. Although PVA is very attacking. Skrtl does ok in that way too I guess.

    3. Deyanski
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Tough.. Between PvA and Moreno
      Probably PvA

    4. The Glory Hunters
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I am starting Moreno..... But not confident!!

    5. skodaole2
      • 11 Years

      PvA

      Thanks All!

      I have another dilemna for you all now. Will start a new thread.

  2. Hog Roast Junkie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Ospina
    Skrtel, Terry, Clyne
    Haz, Fab, Silva, Sterling
    Kun, Kane, Giroud

    A. Sterling to Ozil/Caz
    B. Haz to Caz and Kane to Benteke for -4
    C. Sterling to Sanchez, Kane to Benteke and Fab to Albrighton for -8

    Should I play safe with A or is it worth a gamble?

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      a --sensible

      b,c -- risk to reward too much

  3. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Kane out for bent-eke for a hit???

    1. Takamba
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Just did this, if that helps you?

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Ok how abouts Kane and cazorla for -8

    2. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Yes

    3. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years

      Yes! :mrgreen:

  4. SAINTS
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Play PVA, Duff or Skrtl?

  5. Jubilanus / BSC Small Boys …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Playing big H2H game this week. Opponent has be nteke and will cost -4 to get him in. Whereas i could do grealish for free. WOR stick with this mid/f

    Silva, cout, haz, ster.
    Kun Kane giroud

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      get rid of pool players

    2. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Sterling out tellers n for hit

    3. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I dont think Grealish will get you much but it would start a Sanchez fund for next week

  6. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Which two to start out of Vlaar, Terry & Ivan?

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I would say all of them, but if you have to bench one, maybe Terry

      1. QPR expects... glory!
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Terry has NEVER yet played a full season. Wants to do it this year. Better off dropping Ivan

  7. Razz1983
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Lads defending a small lead in mini league ....all rivals will have sanchez this week

    Only way I can get him is to take ramsey, hazard or Terry out on a -4

    Would you sacrifice one of these or risk not owning him??

    1. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Need sanchez

    2. The Glory Hunters
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I'd go, Hazard to Sachez in your situation.

  8. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    I don't see why Hazard would be benched. Oscar is out of the season considering he's not in Copa America, so there isn't much depth on the wings. Willian might be rested, he's got a Copa America coming up. That leaves just Ramires and Cuadrado (or perhaps Remy on the flanks).

    Hazard will be rested once the season ends. I think Hazard also would like to get to 20 goals this season, he's on 19.

    1. Wishdom Teeth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Ramires is injured also

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I doubt whether getting 20 goals instead of 19 will make much difference to the PFA and title winner.

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        He'll probably play the remaining home games

      2. Kroos Kontrol
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Personal milestone.

  9. Made of Stone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Play Smalling or Skrtel?

  10. Wishdom Teeth
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    I have a funny feelings that Costa will start tomorrow

  11. skodaole2
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Need some help...

    A) Play Pantilimon or Krul?? (Currently Pant)

    B) Bench Morgan, Ivanovic or Coutinho?? (Currently Cout)

  12. Samji24
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Shall I captain Sanchez or tekkers??

    1. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Tekkers

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Tekker will score one goal..don't know what about sanchez 😀

  13. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Bottomed last page. Good to go lads?

    Myhill
    Terry - Kolarov - Morgan
    Hazard - Sanchez(c) - Silva - Coutinho
    Aguero - Giroud - Vardy

    Krul - Bolasie - PVA - Skrtel

    1. Doctor X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Solid.

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years

      very nice gtg

  14. Hy liverpool

    ............panti
    ....schlupp dawson koscilny
    Hazard coutinho bolasie sanchez
    .....benteke vardy aguero

    Gtg!!..captain??

    1. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Yes. Very. Sergio

  15. Sergeant Garcia
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Do I play Ramsey or Jordi Gomez?
    Ramsey with the risk of getting 1 point in return..

    1. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Ramsey

  16. No Pirlo No Party
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Schmeichel or Pantillimon?

    PVA or Morgan?

    1. Doctor X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Schmorgan.

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        This is was I am currently starting. Has served me very well in recent weeks

    2. Rabbinton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Spread the risk

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        This is pretty much the reason I ask. PVA has great attacking potential (Everton have only key 2 clean sheets away from home this year, am I right?). On the otherside, Morgan is a threat at corners/free kicks.

  17. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Albrighton or Jordi Gomez or any other MF under 7.0? (Bottomed last page)

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Gomez for DGW

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Probably Albrighton even with Gomez' extra game

  18. Coffee
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Put me out of my misery!

    A) Hazard to Sanchez
    B) Coutinho to Ozil
    C) Coutinho to Cazorla

    1. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      A, if its your only shot at getting Sanchez for next week

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Save. If have to then B.

    3. Samji24
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      A

  19. Flynniesta
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Stuck my footballs on the line last night & swopped Haz & Fab to Sanchez & Ozil for a -4 as I'm chasing & just had the right money...nervous times. Anybody else fretting on done deals?

    1. No Pirlo No Party
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Hopefully our Arsenal pair serve us proud over the next couple of weeks. I did Sterling and Fabregas to Sanchez and Ozil for free.

      1. Flynniesta
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Fingers crossed..they join Gru who I brought in last week so I'm maxed out on Arse ready for next week

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      worth a gamble.

      1. Flynniesta
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Just worried about the lack of Haz 🙁

  20. Rabbinton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    G2G?

    Schmeichel
    Terry Skrtel McShane
    Sanchez Haz Hendo Ozil/Caz
    Kun (c) Giroud Vardy

    Panti Duff PvA Cambi

    Any changes?

  21. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Start Vardy or Grealish?

    I don't have Benteke.

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      errr Vardy?

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Grealish I reckon

    3. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Grealish

    4. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Vardy

    5. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Ok, I am on Vardy ATM.

      Think I'll keep it that way, Grealish first sub.

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        It's comfortably Vardy mate. You are doing the right thing

  22. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    My team this week, GTG?;

    Schmeichel (Myhill)

    Ivan -- Schlupp -- C.Dawson -- (Skrtel) -- (PVA)

    Henderson -- Hazard -- Ramsey -- Sanchez -- (Boyd)

    Giroud -- Benteke -- Aguero

    Is it mad to bench Skrtel over Dawson?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      The same here .. I want to play him (attack threat)

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        I would drop Dawson but his clean sheet potential against Newcastle is a huge plus for me

  23. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    This week: Vardy and Hazard, or Giroud & Silva - 4

    Getting set up for next week...

    1. Jönny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      My only worry is not having hazard in 38 could screw me in the final of my h2h league

      1. Flynniesta
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        You could always bring him back.. I was worried about the Sunderland match but I went for it

    2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Giroud and Silva imo Jonny.

      1. Jönny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers Jafa. No guts no glory, eh?

    3. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      It could backfire, but fancy Giroud Silva and the hit.

  24. thunder_mike
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Fab > Silva for a free, covers my closest ML rival, who has Kun, Silva + Kolarov and I only have Kun. Feels a bit dull as I want to get Sanchez in but would have to take a hit.

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah, like it.

      1. thunder_mike
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Yeah, think I will do it.

  25. Goons
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Who is a good cheap replacement for Hendo?

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Gomez.

    2. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Gomez

    3. Flynniesta
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I'd Go Gomez

  26. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Currently 22 points ahead in my ML - I'm looking to solidify that lead.

    Is there one player this week that would be worth a -4?

    I was thinking Jagielka, with Everton's current home form of keeping clean sheets and his knack for goals.

    I know, I know, taking a hit for a defender is usually a big no no, and I'm 22 points ahead, so I should probably just calm down a little.

    My current team is:

    Schmeichel Gilks

    Bellerin Yoshida Azpilicueta Skrtel Baird

    Hazard Cambiasso Henderson Sterling Sanchez

    Aguero Benteke Kane

    Was thinking of doing Skrtel > Jags for a -4.

    Thanks for the advice.

    1. noMoreInternationalBreaks
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I'd save the transfer mate

    2. Jar Jar Dinks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      No way.

    3. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Thought as much.

      Thanks boys.

    4. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Solidifying lead? Hazard > Silva.

      Sadly, QPR will get relegated today. First goal goes in the floodgates will open

      1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        QPR > Can't believe I didn't see this, nor did I do it!

        Hazard - 2 points
        Silva - 16 points

        Minus 4 for transfer, could have been 10 points to the good.

        Now, I'm officially only 13 points ahead in my ML.

        I'm starting to sweat.

  27. Takedog1
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    bellerin sanchez cazorla >>>> moreno sterling and hazard -4??

    yay or nayy???

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I would do 2 of 3 to not take a hit and bring the other in next week for the DGW.

      1. Takedog1
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        can only afford it with a hit mate.

        1. Takedog1
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          sorry, thats if I'm wanting sanchez in this week. which i am

          1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 12 months ago

            What about

            Hazard Sanchez Bellerin?

            Can you afford that?

  28. Jar Jar Dinks
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Henderson -> Sunderland mid

    Anyone with me?

    1. JoJoRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Keep gw38 in mind

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Pondering the same but options are really limited with Sunderland midfielders.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      maybe, its either that or wickham

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        who are your other strikers? don't know how to get either wickham or a sun mid in. PVA looks the easiest to accomodate

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Thinking that but Henderson has Palace next week and then GW38 doesn't look great for Sunderland.

      Maybe if they're still scrapping

    5. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Jordi Gomez, because on pens

  29. JoJoRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Hazard. Ever present?
    For every game? (Start)
    Or for every minute?

  30. noMoreInternationalBreaks
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Sub order:
    Grealish fonte Bruce

    Correct??

    1. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I fancy Bruce over Fonte actually.
