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.

      Guess so

  2. Chinu

    9 years, 7 days ago

    Vardy + Fabregas --> Gomis/Lukaku + Silva (-4)?
    Thanks!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Just fab to silva

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

      Don't sell Vardy

    3. Give us a smile
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Who are your other 2 strikers? I'd keep Vardy.

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

        Kane and Giorud

        1. Give us a smile
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          Either one of those is a better option to get rid of than Vardy in my opinion - I'd probably ship Giroud out of the 2 of them.

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

            I think its Vardy's price that makes me want to sell him every week. Selling him before a game against QPR could be costly. Thanks for the advice, will just do Fab to Silva move and hope for the best.

            1. Give us a smile
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 7 days ago

              To ease your mind a bit, QPR have conceded the most away goals this season, they're also resting 3~ defensive players this week. And Vardy is likely to be looking to prove a point after being selected for England! 🙂

  3. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Would I bench albrighton (QPR) or play him over one of Ramsey coutinho giroud ?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      *should

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

      Probably play ahead of Giroud, personally.

    3. Pat Bonner

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

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        But who? Had I known one of them to be a risk for resting then ok - but are they?

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

          Ramsey has the injury history, while donkey is simply in woeful form

  4. andres

    Very torn.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Walcott

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Mata safer, wallcot can be hero or zero

      1. Desperately Seeking Guzan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 days ago

        Cheers guys. Yeah might be odd going one risky Arsenal mid to another.

  6. EWH2020

    1. Trading Bear
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I would guess, in order of most likely to miss out:

      Cazorla
      Ozil
      Sanchez

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      bib theory says ozil benched

    3. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    4. The Machine
      • 10 Years

      Hmm thanks all.

  8. Alpine3000
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    A. Hazard to Yaya for a hit(-4)
    B. Hazard to Walcott a hit(-4)
    C. Hazard to mata for a hit
    D. stay with Hazard = no hit

    Also who should be first off the bench

    Grealish Vs BUR (H) OR Wasilewski Vs QPR (H)

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      D gearlish first sub

      1. Captain Peacock

        I agree

  9. Trading Bear
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    What would be your ideal XI for GW38?

    MID: Silva
    MID: Bolasie
    MID: Sanchez
    MID: Willian

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      I lost you at willian

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

      Mata/Mane/Siggy over Willian

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

      Ospina

      Ivanovic
      Janmaat
      Schlupp

      Sanchez
      Silva
      Mata
      Puncheon

      Aguero

      Lukaku

  10. Snapes on a Plane

    Start jagielka or Schlupp?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Schlupp

    2. Give us a smile
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A lot on here will say Jagz I think, but personally I'd start Schlupp.

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

      Cheers guys 🙂

    4. Sydney Saints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      schlupp

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

      Schlupp

  11. Mesh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Mata or Yaya in for Hazard?
    Already have Kun and Silva

    1. Federico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Mata

  12. bluetiger
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Replace Sterling with Mata, Young or Walcott?

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

      Walcott

    2. Federico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      Mata over Young. Not sure about Walcott.

  13. The Iron Tulip
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Just noticed my closet rival in my cash league has take a hit so I'm now 31 points ahead. It is worth taking a hit myself to block another player of his or stick with the extra 4 points? I'd be bringing in bolasie if so for cambiasso, not sure it's worth it?

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

      defo not worth it

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

      not worth it

    3. WorldCupDanB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      If all you are bothered about is winning your league and don't care about overall rank together with you know he hasn't swapped out bolasie and he'll definitely play him then it's worth it. But there is a lot of guess work there.

  14. Federico
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Would you rather

    A) Hazard -> Mata
    B) Kane -> Lukaku

    Can't decide if I should sell Kane, or just bench him.
    Ramsey and Sanchez should play today, right?

    1. Alpine3000
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      A

  15. Uberscout
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Anyone else here not owned Hazard all season in FPL?

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

      Me. Just transferred him in today.

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

        Joking 😛

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

          Just outside top 1000 never owned him!

          1. Ziro Becomes One
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 days ago

            Team link?

  16. Cooking_on_Fabregas
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    25-point lead in my cash mini-league (too close for comfort). My team:

    Myhill (Pants)
    Ivan Terry Kos (Toby, McShane)
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Cazorla (Boyd)
    Kun Kane Vardy (1FT 0.1 ITB.)

    Rival:

    Ospina Myhill
    Terry Coleman Bellerin Clyne Schluup
    Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Grealish Gomez
    Kun Kane Vardy

    He has made 1FT and ITB value has gone up by 1.1M (he only recently purchased Haz and Sanchez so high selling value)

    Can anyone work out his most likely transfer and what I should do with mine. Thinking Toby to Schluup as a blocker?

  17. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    start bertrand(away at city) or mcshane(united, but at home)

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

      which united?

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

        Bertrand because McShane will be playing the best united next year

        1. The Red Devil
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 days ago

          you mean hull will keep a cleano but i keep bertie? you high?

  20. Rambo Motin

    Tekkers over Kun for C ?

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

    Despite him probably being benched, would you get Cisse for Kane? I just don't fancy Kane vs Everton and have Vardy already (wont get Ulluoa now ..spread the risk)

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

    Start Ozil or Mané?

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

      ozil

    2. Uberscout
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      This site predict Ozil won't start FWIW

  23. Old
    • 9 Years

    When do the transfer window close? (in hours min from now?)

  24. Ed
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Anyone going for Costa?

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years

      yep 16pt hit to get him 😆

    2. Cristi@no R7

    3. Uberscout

      I am tempted, wish I got to know the teams before the deadline!

  25. pax888

    Anyone getting Willian in this week?

    1. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      no.

  26. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years

    Benteke or Lukaku?

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

      Luka

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years

      Lukaku

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

      Tekkers

  27. The Red Gurnard
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    Play vlaar, ward or Williamson?

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

      Vlaar

  28. BennyDizzle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    :/ Struggling with a decision and looking for help

    A) Defoe -> Ulloa
    B) Hazard -> Young
    C) Defoe, Hazard -> Ulloa, Young -4pt
    D) Defoe, Hazard -> Young, Costa -4pt
    D) Defoe, Hazard -> Young, Lukaku -4pt

    Can afford Mata instead of Young if that makes a difference.

    Thanks in advance 🙂 🙂

  29. Cristi@no R7
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 days ago

    will Hazard play today or not?

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

      I still hope so

    2. Norco
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      No one knows.

      If you are leading and have a good sub, don't worry about it.

      If you are chasing, get rid of him for someone like Silva, Yaya, Mata, etc.

    3. Give us a smile
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 days ago

      He might make an appearance just to play in every game of the season - I wouldn't expect more than 10-15 mins though.

    4. Cristi@no R7
      • 11 Years

      Thankyou guys...

  30. The Red Devil
