Back after a Gameweek’s absence, we’re still licking our wounds having been edged out of some winnings. Robin Van Persie let us down against Man City, so while Papiss Cisse and Wayne Rooney both held up their end of the goalscorer treble, Paddy Power got to keep our money. Not to worry, as the excitement of the Grand National builds, we dust ourselves off and jump back in the ring for another go at Paddy in this week’s Fantasy Flutter.
Wigan put together a resolute performance against league leaders United in the week, but with a trip to the Emirates immediately following, Roberto Martinez must be worried that his side have enough left in the tank. Theo Walcott has been on incisive form of late and will likely be a key figure in Wigan’s downfall. Paddy have Walcott to net and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet at 100/30, which we’ll happily open our wallets for – our first £3 is spent.
Swansea have lost four in row leading up to this weekend’s home fixture with Blackburn. They’ve slipped down the table, and only netted once whilst conceding ten. Not fantastic reading for fans and Fantasy managers alike, as faith in Gylfi Sigurdsson begins to waver. We feel that Swansea could make a Rovers recovery, though, and with the Icelandic attacking midfielder netting five times in March and April, he could be the one to bring Swansea out of their slumber. Paddy are offering 9/1 for a Sigurdsson goal and a Swansea cleansheet – that might seem a little skinny considering the abysmal Swans form, but it is definitely worth a quid of our cash.
Stephane Sessegnon is a frustrating chap. He seems to perform wonders in clusters of two or three matches, then has an off couple of weeks where he’s satisfied to collect his two Fantasy points and go home to bed. After a goalless draw and a four-nil drubbing against Everton, “Sess” will surely be looking to hit another spurt of form with three favourable fixtures on their way. The first of these is against current whipping boys Wolves, and with Paddy offering 9/2 on a Sessegnon goal and Sunderland cleansheet, our final £6 is well spent.
That’s your lot for another Flutter – good luck with your punts this weekend, particularly if you’re backing a horse in the National. Don’t forget, if you’ve yet to pick your runner, make sure you go and see our friends at Paddy Power first.
