Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 38

In our final head-to-head with Paddy, we’ve invested faith in Arsenal’s English speedster, Everton’s robust frontman and Stoke’s man of the moment.

Our first, and favourite, wager of the week has us backing Theo Walcott to net his third goal this campaign. Arsene Wenger looks set to slightly rotate ahead of the Gunners’ FA Cup final, which should afford the fleet-footed winger his first start since Gameweek 29. Considering the North London club has conceded just one goal in their last three home ties, Paddy’s 11/4 odds on Walcott to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against West Brom tempted us to part with our first £4.

It’s been a lucklustre season for Romelu Lukaku, but the imposing Belgian has finally hit some form in recent weeks, notching two goals in three starts. No striker came close to mustering as many attempts on goal (nine) as Lukaku last Gameweek, which – coupled with the fact that Tottenham drew blanks in two of their previous three match-ups – encouraged us to take up Paddy’s 33/1 offer on Lukaku to score two or more goals and Everton to keep a clean sheet.

Charlie Adam – the target of our final bet this Sunday – has been a revelation of late, tallying four goals in seven starts. The Scottish midfielder ranks third over the last six Gameweeks in terms of attempted shots (35), behind Philippe Coutinho (30) and Alexis Sanchez (29). Considering Liverpool chalked up a solitary goal in their last three road matches, we’re liking Paddy’s 18/1 offer on Adam to score and Stoke to keep a clean sheet and handing over our remaining £3.

    Albrighton, Cazorla, Sanchez, Silva
    Kane, Aguaro, Vardy

    Pants, Haz, Fonte, PVA

    A Fonte out for JT and p,at instead of Dawson

    Or
    C Any other ideas I'm in need of advice

    Oh and I currently 10 puts ahead in my ML

      Anyone?

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

        Really it all boils down to Kane and if we think he will score or not!

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B with Bolasie or Siggy

  2. mgrea
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think Ospina will play?

    1. Old
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      yes

    2. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No. Fabianski was the cup keeper last season and was given the last PL game of the season to prep for the final

      1. mgrea

        OK Cheers guys

    3. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Of course

  3. Mr Sarcastic
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    You think 3 of Hazard, Sanchez, Cazorla and Giroud will get at least some minutes today?

    1. hillbillypete
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      im worried Walcott starts ahead of Giroud and Caz gets a rest too

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I'm pretty confident Giroud plays some part, but more concerned that Caz & Haz are out. Tempted to do Haz -> Silva (-4)...

    HI Guys,

    So i'm sitting here with my finger twitching over my final transfer of the season and i'm looking for a little expert guidance from your good selves. With the recent visit Hazard has made to the dentists i'm looking to swap him out for a sure banker. I already have in place Sanchez, Silva, and Young. Rather than tip you off my thoughts i would appreciate your first thoughts on this.

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure on a 'banker' in the final GW...but Walcott seems a good bet

    2. Give us a smile
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Could take a punt on Walcott?

    3. Park the bus
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Has to be a Silva, Sanchez has the risk of being rested and Young is Young...

      1. Give us a smile
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He has Silva, Young and Sanchez - he's asking who he should get in addition to those 3.

    4. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Get Yaya or Bolasie or Siggy

  5. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Haz to Mata.

    1. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Fail.

  6. Rabbinton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Haz & Graham > Silva & Ulloa (-4)

    59 points ahead in ML

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Go for it! 😀

  7. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone got an idea of when we will know about injury doubts playing (Haz)? I see the deadline for teams selections is 11.30...

  8. Made of Stone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Play Smalling or Skrtel?

    Hull got to throw everything at Utd and likely to score?

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Sound logic. Skrtel

      1. Made of Stone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Tis so. My logic has lost me too any points tho.

    http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/05/24/spot-the-differential-gameweek-38-3/

    I've been fiddling all morning and testing out an 8 point hit but it just doesn't feel right. Walcott will play but he's been underwhelming for a while now. How about

    A. Costa and Albrighton in for Wickham and Sterling for -4
    B. I could then do either Haz to Yaya or Skrtel to Kolarov for another -4

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A
      The season you having you know full well Clichy will play 😆

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A. and Kolarov Granville.

    3. hillbillypete
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      like it

    4. A.T
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A is better than B but I'd rather go for Benteke or Lukaku if you don't have those.

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

      A looks good

    6. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Go nuts. B and the haz move

  10. henryleeds
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    please pick two for me to change for hazard + cazorla (-4):

    Yaya, Young, Fellaini, Mata, Puncheon, Bolasie

    Thanks

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bolasie and Yaya

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Mata and Bolasie

  11. Captain Peacock
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Whom do Ibench from Ramsey and Caz? Caz has better stats and on pens but Ramsey has scored well (before the DGW).

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      CAz

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Caz

    3. Lexi2014
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      My reasoning is that Caz has played more throughout the season so will be rested...who knows! I'm playing Ramsey with Philipps as my first sub

      Roll on 3 o'clock! Though I think I'll be hiding behind a pillow for most of it 🙂

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Oh yes, I'm excited too!

    4. Alpine3000
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      caz

    5. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks everyone, Caz it is

  12. Lexi2014
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Good to go?

    Schmeichel
    Terry, Schlupp, Skrtel
    Hendo, Silva, Ramsey, Puncheon (Philipps first sub)
    Benteke, Kane, Aguero (c)

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looking good . Made your ft I presume?

      1. Lexi2014
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah Caz -> Punch

        1. Captain Peacock
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Good move

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good to me. Cap Tekkers

      1. Lexi2014
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Have been changing my mind all week on this! Rival has Aguero And will prob captain him. I'm chasing 6 points.

  13. jernej93
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Just did Hazard -> Siggy ... don't know why but I am now mad on my decision 🙁

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      yolo

  14. Torres76
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Kolorov or Yaya to bring in?

    Got silva and Ageuro.

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      depends on who you're taking out but yaya is more likely to get points

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      They let in two last weekend and Saints scored 6. Yaya.

  15. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who to bench, coutinho, vlaar or skrtel?

    1. Kurtinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Skrtel

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Skrtel

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      the chasing me in my ML has Moreno, so a point for Skrtel is that he could block Moreno points..

  16. mgrea
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Start Ospina or Schmeichel?

    1. Kurtinho
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ospina

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ospina

    3. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Schmeichel

  17. Punty
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Gtg? Not 100% about Ramsey or Cazorla on the bench?

    Mignolet
    Schlupp Ivanovic PvA
    Cazorla Yaya Silva Sánchez
    Kane Vardy Agüero

    Subs: Pantilimon Ramsey Dawson Alderweireld

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years

      Looking good sheik

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Krul (Panti)
    Ivanovic, Skrtl, Hutton
    Sanchez, Cazorla, Hazard, Henderson (James)
    Aguero, Giroud, Kane

    0.6 ITB

    A) Kane and Clyne -> Benteke and Wasilewski (FT)
    B) Giroud, Kane and Clyne -> Lukaku, Benteke and Wasilewski (-4 hit)
    C) Giroud, Kane and Clyne -> Benteke, Ulloa, Terry (-4 hit)
    D) Giroud, Kane and James -> Benteke, Ulloa, Bolasie (-4 hit)
    E) Other

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B

  19. Four Point Hit
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Taking a gamble on Hazard playing. If not, Boyd will come on for his usual 2 points. I guess we will find out at toothhurty.

  20. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I'm top 600 so hoping to stay in top 1k and got mini league wrapped up...but manager of the month I'm 20 points behind so want to try and win that but needs a few punts. Which would you do?

    A Haz ozil giroud to silva Walcott Costa (-4) (wally or Costa captain)
    B ozil giroud to silva benteke/lukaku (aguero captain)

    1. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A with Costa!

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B only because you have 3 absolutely nailed starter who will most likely play 80-90mins each

    3. Desperately Seeking Guzan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Probably do B(enteke). But depends on other forwards.

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B , If only 1 rival ahead of you , but will probably need to Cpt Lukaku or Benteke

  21. JPlicious
    • 9 Years

    Good to go? - Cap choice? (Ive done the transfers)

    Myhill
    Hutton - Kosc - Terry
    Hazard - Mata - Hendo - Silva
    Kane - Lukaku (C) - Aguero (VC)

    Mannone - PvA - Boyd - Bertie

    1. S.Kuqi

      Brave (c) choice. Good to go

  22. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Not taking a hit today will be the key to rank rising......

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years

      Hazard playing will be also 😛

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Thats my fear , Give him a 10 min cameo , to wave to the fans.
          Dont have Silva , so cant risk holding

          1. Norco
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I'm benching Kane for him lol.

            Sanchez Silva Ozil Hazard Bolasie
            Kun Vardy (Kane)

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 10 Years

      That's only if you pick the wrong players to transfer!

  23. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS

    Need some help as this is the first year of FPL.

    Already taken -4. Team is . Chasing a 28pts lead, and trying to keep 16pts lead from guy following me. They have similar teams (common player in *)

    Myhill
    Vlaar - Koscielny - Schlupp
    Caz * - Sanchez * - Coutinho - Young
    Kun * - Costa (C) - Vardy.

    They have Silva and Henderson.

    My subs are : Panti[off] - Skrtel - PvA - Gomez [off]

    GTG? Need anything else?
    A. Caz to Willian for another -4?
    B. No more, if Caz/Alexis don't play let Skrtel come in.

    1. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      -4 is too much anyway in my opinion definitely don't do another.

      1. Captain Peacock

        I'd also consider starting Cresswell over Hutton/Kos. Newcastle are garbage.

  27. Essrick

    What transfer should I make?

    Migs
    Kosc, Rose, Schlupp
    Sanchez, Ozil, Silva, Coutinho
    Aguero (c), Kane, Vardy

    Myhill, Phillips, Clyne, Naughton

    I'm thinking Clyne out play who I transfer in and then bench Rose. Kolarov? Cahill? Christensen?

      kolarov
