The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 23

With tenner in hand, we go up against Paddy once again this morning. This time round, we turn to Sunderland’s new frontman, Liverpool’s young midfielder and Arsenal’s lone forward to boost our prospects of ending the weekend in profit.

We kick off at the Stadium of Light, where Jermain Defoe is set for his Premier League home debut for Sunderland against Burnley. With Gus Poyet determined to go on the attack and take advantage of some kind fixtures in front of the Wearside faithful, Defoe’s output looks key to the Black Cats’ survival. Paddy are offering 25/1 on Defoe to score two or more and Sunderland to serve up a clean sheet later today – we’ve a feeling he’ll make the difference against the Clarets and hand over our first £3.

Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their midweek Capital One Cup exit as West Ham make their way to Anfield later today. With the Hammers nursing a number of injury worries, we’re backing the home side to do the business here – Paddy are offering 11/2 on Raheem Sterling to score and the Reds to keep a clean sheet and we’re confident enough to shell out another £3 for the Merseyside match.

Our final stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal entertain out-of-sorts Villa. The Gunners have their tails up after defeating City on their travels last time around and with their visitors scoring once in the last seven Gameweeks, a win for Arsene Wenger’s side is highly anticipated. With Paddy offering 13/2 on Olivier Giroud to score two or more goals and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re making this one our bet of the week and part company with our final £4.

    There are other people going with ADM (c) right?

    Cant see better options really

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yup, would do Rooney if I had him or Giroud

        1. KeepCalm
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard is another one worth looking

      • Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

    3. snowman
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      bellerin likely to start?

      Muniesa or Wolls?

    4. Johnny98
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsey or Cazorla?

      1. Belli2007
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        caz. on pens, corners etc

    5. Belli2007
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Morning all.

      A couple of questions.

      a) Anyone doubling up on Sunderland def? I have PVA and Pants but could play Krul away at Hull to split them?
      b) I have Cork as 5th mid as cover for Sanchez? Surely can only be on the bench today and other bench is Wasi away at Utd and Jenkinson who is also a doubt? Could get a 7.2m mid in for a -4 hit?

      Thoughts appreciated

        but I don't like the team tbh.

        Pants for de Gea
        Kun form rvp .. even for the Chelsea game
        Elia out for downing
        then upgrade Gayle to Kane or Austin

      Aaah! Snowing here in north London! Any Michael fish wannabes on here who can say which matches could be at most risk across the country!!?

        Snow is fine for prem games (unless loads), it's the ice that gets games called off. Will be fine

    8. pax888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Anyone considering Hazard (c)?

      Currently on Giroud.

      1. Mikeharbrw
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        ballsy to put it on eden this week, it's gonna be a tight game

      2. Gr3g
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'm most likely going with Haz or Johnson who I will transfer in as one week punt. Was set on Sanchez but he is injured now 🙁 other choice could be Roonpig but who know where he is going to play...

    9. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wildcard team:
      Panty
      Jones, PVA, Wollscheid
      Hazard, Cazorla, Walcott, Di Maria (c)
      Aguero, Giroud, Defoe

      Subs: Krul, Boyd, Wisdom, Baird

      Good to go?

      1. Mikeharbrw
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'd fancy one of your arsenal options for the armband

        1. Big_Bear
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I think Di Maria is due and that Leicester are dodgy defensively so I'm punting on him.

    10. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone here think Chelsea will keep a cleanie ?

      1. Mikeharbrw

        There's a good chance

        Hi guys, can anyone tell me whether Defoe is a guaranteed starter? Would have to take a -4 hit to get him in but i'd also captain him, thanks

        1. Santi sensei
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'd never buy Defoe for -4 or Captain him honestly

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Haha thanks! I'm well ahead in ML, falling behind in OR so that's why I'm going for the punt

          Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic

          Who are you captaining this Gameweek and why?

          1. peanut101
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            ADM because he is "due"

            1. Camp No No
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Gambler's fallacy. Or then bad biology: only women can be due. 😉

              I'm pretty sure ADM is Catholic...

          2. Mikeharbrw
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Sanchez, with my vice on pelle fully expecting it to come into play

          3. Santi sensei
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Walcott
            It's gut feeling

            1. Bangarang
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              same, might as well go all in!

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Cazorla. Because I haven't a clue, and he is at the top of all the relevant charts! 🙂

          6. Over Midwicket
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            Caz or Donkey. Haven't decided.

          7. @persecuted_by_mods
              9 years, 3 months ago

              ADM or Defoe, ADM because surely he'll be played in his favoured position, Defoe because he can explode and would be a great differential

            • HP.
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Cazorla.

            • La Roja
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Santi

              Because I can

              1. Rhinos
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Santi coz it's on tv 🙂

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              It's on ADM right now but probably going to do Silva>Walcott (c) for the explosive potential and not let myself get too down if he's carried off after 12 minutes.

            • Rasping Drive
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Cazorla probably. Playing well for a team in form and on penalties.

              Definitely not Giroud!

            • Debauchy
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Giroud , should benefit from no Sanchez

            • Crystal
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Is no one concerned about Santi's home form? I have him but wouldn't captaun him

            • Overlordleo
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Giroud C ADM VC

            • Lawrø
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Pelle

              He seems to be off the radar and I think he's just as likely to score as anyone else this gameweek.

              Even though I have Di Maria, but might change, so suggestions are still appreciated from you guys !

              Also have kept Aguero on the bench, counting on Chelsea for a clean-sheet tonight and hence I've fielded Ivanovic. Rest assured if Chelsea does yield a CS, it'll be nothing short of a differential for this GW.

                  Sorry..

                  Went with Cazorla, and Kane on bench..

            • Demí
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Jon Walters. Feel he's due, and QPR's away record is abysmal. Will probably be upfront again.

            I'm worried Chaldi won't start this GW.
            And I need to get rid of Albrighton as he is not playing...
            With Sanchez on the team, I feel I need a good fifth midfielder.

            Albrighton->Moses
            Chadli-> Cazorla

            Yes or No ?

              Big fan of Moses, but would have faith in chadli and not ditch for a hit. He was out for a bereavement, should play.

            Was going to do Falcao to Sturridge next week, but as Falcao isn't predicted to start and I'm on wildcard, should I do it this week??
