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.

    Can't believe I'm asking this, Adam or Walters??

    Adam more goals recently, but Walters more shots in box, on pens... bad at them I know!

    1. MARVELLUS

      Should that have said first 🙂 ?

      Do you not have other options?!

      Go albrighton

    3. Hairy Potter

      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've already got Walters and playing him this week instead of Henderson.

      If I had a straight choice between the two though, I'd go for Adam as he's playing really well at the minute.

    4. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Adam is the man in form, would go for him on that basis.

    Right to play Myhill (new) over Schmeichel (SOU) this week?

      Toughie. That's a coin toss decision but go with a gut decision if you have one.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. I've been thinking Myhill all week after Newcastle's performance last week. News that Cisse may play some part is causing a bit of doubt and the fact that Leicester at home to Southampton. Will probably swap a few times before the deadline!

    Kane to Benteke for a -4

    What do people think??

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me. Don't see it working this week.

    2. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not for free IMO, but that's probably just me.

    3. Takamba
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Intesresting... Last time I asked, I got 2 yes votes.

      Very torn...anyone else?

      Could see Benteke outscoring Kane by 4 this week alone, tbh...

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years

      Yes

    5. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did just that, but realizing it's a bit knee-jerky. Chances are it's not worth it.

    Lost on last post

    How's this bunch looking?

    Davis

    Stones Terry Bellerin

    Ozil Sanchez Coutinho Haz

    Aguero(C) Benteke Vardy

    Krul Shlupp Skrtel Boyd

    All in order? Correct captain choice and subs bench?

    1. enrico.palazzo

      Solid G2G

    2. Ludo
      • 10 Years

      Looks solid. Would put Boyd as first sub.

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years

      I'd play Schlupp over Coutinho

        Na, form over fixture. He's been unreal recently and showed it last week. He was unlucky not to be scoring those points week in week out.

    Is silva going to run riot this week?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      I think Joey Barton is more likely to run riot this week

      1. enrico.palazzo

        Haha always a risk

    1.1m, 1ft

    So... I was all set to bring in Ramsey for Sterling this week.
    But what do I do now?

    a. Get Ozil
    b. Get Carzorla
    c. Keep Sterling, and bring in Vlaar this week. Get an Arsenal player next week
    d. Save the transfer

    ?

    1. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You'd be fine saving FT. If you're desperate get Ozil

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I could get Ozil today.

        But I'm tempted to save it wait and see on either Giroud or Ramsey next week.

        1. Cojiro
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yep, saving it is fine

    2. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did Ozil this week. Think he's the best option regardless.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd change Sterling. If you keep him then you'll be tempted to play him next week! He's a shadow of his former self.

  13. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I am desperate to get Benteke but will have to take an 8 pointer to do it. Selling Kane/Terry or Vardy/Ivanovic in the process. Mathematically it makes no sense to me since the Belgian would have to score at least a brace for me to break even.

    But the red mist has descended and I am blinded. Please someone talk me out of it.

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pointless.

      Literally.

      No

    4. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't. He's just one player, even if he scores well you'll make those points up elsewhere. When Kane scores a hattrick against Hull next week though, you'll kick yourself. 😉

    5. - 8, huh? That would be about 10 k? 😉

      1. In addition, you will have done nothing for the DGW.

        No way to get him in, Brian?

        Wow..2 Silvas. Didn't expect that

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          2 Silvas would really be scary

    4. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Now that I have Sanchez back in my team, I'm pretty happy. Benteke maybe?

      1. Zombie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So that means you're expecting him to get double digit haul. A hit maybe 😉 ?

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          To get Benteke in? Nah, I'm happy with my players.

          1. Zombie
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Aguero, Kane, Giroud

            Yeah, I won't lose any of them

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          The herd has been piling into Benteke like he's a dead cert. 125k transfers in this week while Giroud has 35k transfers out the week before a DGW.

          That is enough reason to fear a Benteke haul. I don't think taking hits to bring Benteke in for Kane, Austin, Giroud is in any way sensible. But those that have will gain if his form and luck continues over the last 3 games of the season.

      2. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Its a big relief to have him back isn't it?

    5. Ludo

      Benteke

    Hazard out!?

    One of Ivan-Terry-Hazard needs to go to afford Sanchez!

    Ivan : wants to play every game, more attacking now the league is won, good chance of CS.

    Terry : wants to play every game, will want that record-breaking goal, good chance of CS.

    Haz: likely to be rotated for WBA and probably won't play 90 in the other two games, is he still motivated with the league and Player of the Year-award in the pocket?

    1. Syd.

      Nooooo

        Can't help it, this is my conclusion

      Good team.
      City light though. I'd look to move some Chelsea to city and it could pay this week with the QPR fixture. Maybe Ivan to Kolorov if you fancy the flutter or hazard to silva.
      Good luck.

  19. Hybrid.power

    Play:

    Clyne or Skrtel

    Mignolet or Pantilimon

    1. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Clyne and Panti.

      Chelsea always score at the Bridge.

      Clyne should get attacking joy running at Schlupp, Panti averages over 5 saves per away game.

    2. Cojiro

    Repost from previous thread...

    Want to bring in Sanchez but am in the strange position of having too many Arsenal players in Kosc, Giroud and Ramsey already.

    A) Giroud and Sterling > Vardy and Sanchez (-4)
    B) Ramsey and Sterling > Adam and Sanchez (-4)
    C) Stop being greedy and use FT to bring in an extra Sunderland player?

      I don't mind, as long as there are loads of goals on both sides, from defenders!

    2. Probably!

      I reckon Saints will smash Leicester!!

      I've doubled up on Leicester defence. Benched Toby.
      Good luck.

    A defender for 4.8 or less? Have (Schm) PvA, Terry, Bellerin, Chester. So he'll probably be on the bench in all three GWs.

      Go cheap then.Duff?

    2. Ludo

      9 years, 1 month ago

      Vlaar - nice GW38 option, and decent backup for the next two.

      Terry and Bellerin play all three, Chester this week, PVA next for the double.

    Hutton fully fit again?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's not first choice anymore

    Hi Guys,

    WC team (don't ask)

    Schmeichel (Pantilimon)

    Terry, PVA, Morgan, Duff, XX

    Hazard, Sanchez, Cazorla, Albrighton, Boyd

    Giroud, Benteke, Aguero

    Missing a defender for up to 5.6, any ideas?

    1. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alderweireld?!

        Thanks, will check

      sell boyd for a bencher...u are 0.1m from kolarov 😀

        Thanks, might do so, although while Burnley still have something to fight for Boyd could be a good option.

          haha the problem is whether u will play him or not. it seems that u would play albrighton for the last 3

            that's true, on form as well.
            The problem with Kolarov, will he play all three?

            What do you think about Cresswell?

            1. money face bandwagon
              • 10 Years

              not sure about westham..in fact at 5m+ there are not that many tempting options.

              kolarov might not be nailed..but u have duff and morgan as a sub so should be ok. An ars defender would be decent but guess many would triple up attack.

              a utd/pool defender might not appeal too much too.

                Thanks a lot for the dound advise! I'll revisit the Kolarov idea 🙂
                probably Cork for Boyd should be enough to make it happen

    Panti

    Where can I see underlying stats for players?

      If you mean on this page, then you need to be a member first and in the members area.

        Ok thanks, but not necessarily on this page, is there an alternative?

          I would imagine, although I use only this one. Not sure if OPTA or others even release their data publicly.

          Google is your friend out there.
