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.

    If games are drawing at 90mins today, do they go to extra time & penos?

          In the 2002 season UEFA introduced a new rule, the silver goal, to decide a competitive match. In extra time the team leading after the first fifteen-minute half would win, but the game would no longer stop the instant a team scored. Competitions that operated extra time would be able to decide whether to use the golden goal, the silver goal, or neither procedure during extra time.

        Wormhole final GW, like it....

  2. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Hmmm, which one to lose; Hazard or Cazorla?

    And who to get in; Mata or Walcott?

    I'm so confused!!!

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Hazard> Mata

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I agree

  3. samcro
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Can anyone shed some light on the Chelsea keeper situation? JM says Cech will plays some part, but won't confirm he will start? Is he still carrying an injury?

    I have no keeper this week and most rivals have Chelsea defenders. I have to try to cover them but need to get the keeper right.

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Cech will probably start if fit and get a cameo if not 100%. Look elsewhere, but not De Gea as he probably doesn't start either. Schmeichel maybe.

  4. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Okay, let's have your punty captain choices. Wallcott here 🙂

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Rom-rom, does it count?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Sure, it's not Aguero

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Cisse baby

    3. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Tekkers count? Though I'm probably still going Aguero...

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Silva.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Better choice than Aguero I think.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Why? Please elaborate

    5. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Does it Mata?

  5. Snapes on a Plane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Who has more chances of keeping a clean sheet?
    A) Schlupp
    B) Jagielka

  6. Kurtinho
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    If you knew Cazorla were to be benched, would you start him or play Henderson (stk) in his place?

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I'd take a hit and bring yaya in

      1. Kurtinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Don't have the cash for that.

  7. Pepin - RIP Absinthe

    So many times over the years I've looked at my team before the GW started and thought, 'Man, this team looks stacked. Could easily get 100 points.' Of course, it never happens. If I ever needed a statistical anomaly, now is the time.

    My team looks stacked, multiple players capable of big hauls, playing at home. Let's go!

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I hope you do. The lols at JK will be good 😀

        I accepted my benching decision with dignity

    2. Jonny Bananas

  8. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Lose Haz or ozil for silva/Walcott

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Haz to Silva imo

  9. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Anyone keeping Hazard or is he confirmed out?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Not confirmed out.

      1. sminkypinky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        'kay

    2. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 10 Years

    Rooney or Giroud?

    1. Hurricane

      Rooney

    Spent all week ruminating about my Kane replacement, then finally settled on Ulloa after seeing the scout picks. Went to hit confirm, and only then remembered I had bloody Hamer and thus a full Leicester allocation. Have ended up with Cisse instead - watch him go off injured after 15 minutes and Ulloa hit a hattie with no Vardy/Schlupp involvement.

  15. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Final decision to be made, just getting the feeling Gru may get one today

    A) Giroud to Ulloa

    B) Skrtel to Ivan

    Happy last game of the season FFS chums! I'll miss this over the summer, my girlfriend certainly won't 🙂

    BIG THANKS for all your advice and help this year, winning my cash mini league by 35 points and trying to make up a 34 point deficit in one for pride.

    SO.......shall i captain Yaya to try and make up the difference in league 2????

  17. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    If Ozil is rested. Is Cazorla playing as a 10 then?

    1. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      More likely Rosicky would

  18. Lord Mayor's Croupier
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    I've already used my FT, but still umming and aahing about whether to take a hit given the number of rotation risks here.

    Davis (Pants)
    PVA Terry Williamson (Clyne Fonte)
    Sanchez Ozil Albrighton Mata (Hazard)
    Aguero(VC) Giroud Ulloa(C)

    Assuming Hazard is dead, I need all 3 of Sanchez/Ozil/Giroud to start or I'm getting Saints 1-pointers off the bench.

    Take the hit? I'm trailing by 12 points in my ML btw.

    1. Knucks999
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      My opponent is 15 pts behind do I go -4 and put 2 of his players in most likely to make up points on me?

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Were I you, yes, I'd take the hit on Hazard.

    3. Sydney Saints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      If you are trailing by 12, you may as well take risk.

      1. Lord Mayor's Croupier
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Okay, cheers 🙂

  19. Game of Stones
    • 9 Years

    A: Play Hendo/Albrighton
    OR
    B: Hendo -> Walcott/Bolasie (-4)

    1. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Play Albrighton

  20. Scotty B
    • 12 Years

    Is Kane worth changing for a - 4?

    He's worth 5.5 in my team and I have 0.6 itb

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Depends if you're chasing but who else would you replace him with?

      1. Scotty B
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        I'm not chasing I have a 37 point lead. Maybe Jelavic or ndoye?

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Vardy or ulluo but not for -4

  21. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Defending a 21 point lead - match-ups are:

    Schmeichel | Hazard | Sanchez | Sterling | Henderson | Kane [+21 pts]
    vs.
    Given | Hazard | Silva | Cazorla | Boyd | Benteke

    Hazard + Sterling --> Silva + Mata and play it safe with Aguero ©?
