The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 3

We go up against Paddy with a tenner in hand once again and seek inspiration from the Scout Picks and Differentials in our attempt to bring home the cash.

We start at Loftus Road where QPR welcome Sunderland later this afternoon. Scout Pick Steven Caulker has already registered six attempts inside the box in just two appearances, and with Paddy prepared to offer 20/1 on a Caulker goal and QPR clean sheet, we’re willing to place our faith in his attacking instincts and shell out £3 for the Loftus Road encounter.

Next stop is the Etihad, where champions City take on Stoke. Having scored twice from the bench in recent matches, we’re going to stick our necks out and back Sergio Aguero to deliver yet again. The Argentine is pushing for a start against the Potters, and with Paddy offering 6/1 on Aguero to score two or more and City to chalk up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the Gameweek, throwing £4 their way.

Our final £3 is kept for West Ham’s home match against Southampton. Summer signing Mauro Zarate grabbed a goal on his first start last weekend, and with Kevin Nolan injured, looks to have nailed down the role in “the hole” for Sam Allardyce’s side. Paddy are offering a massive 50/1 for the little Argentine to score two or more and for the hosts to keep a clean sheet – we fancy a punt on this one and part company with our final £3.

    Can't decide whether to change one of my keepers;

    McGregor (Bego)
    Debuchy Jones Terry Clichy (Caulker)
    Siggy Eriksen Silva Ramsey (young)
    Ade Rooney ( Bojan)

    I've got 1 FT BUT 0 in bank,

    Any ideas/suggestions

    Thinking maybe Young to Sissoko?

  2. wedgec

    Right players on the bench/right order?

    Krul
    Clyne Cahill Hutton
    Ramsay Siggy Eriksen Mata
    Costa Rooney(c) Naismith

    Foster PVA Marney Chester

    1. XhakaCan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  3. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A. Sell Costa and bring in Jovetic for a hit.

    B. Play Costa..

    My first Sub is Albrighton.

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. wedgec
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Play Costa, Jovetic might not even play after international break

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Alright guys. Thanks for the help.

        No City attackers 🙁

  4. Teahupo'o

    Prediction: How many minutes will Jovetic play this gw?

    1. Tatty Bojangles
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      73

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      11

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

      90

    4. El Reagano
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      81

    5. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      90. Aguero will also start but will be replaced by Dzeko

      1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        This

      2. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        This would be my assumption. One would assume that the form player would retain his place and Dzeko would replace an 'returning to match fitness' Aguero on the 60 minute mark.

      3. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. Dzeko is also carrying a very slight injury.

    6. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      90

    7. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years

      Thank you all. Armband on Jovetic it is.

    1. Buck The Trent

      For now

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but Stoke fans think he isn't playing too well so at risk. Good activity in the box though too.

    MUTV predicted united lineup

    DDG
    Jones Evans Blackett
    Valencia Fletcher Januzaj Di Maria
    Mata
    RVP Rooney​

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I might get my first CS from Blackett 🙂

    2. wedgec
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Di Maria wing back?

    3. Brutus619
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      What's that supposed to be!? 3-5-2 with Januzaj in CM!?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yes

      2. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        That sounds like a bloody mess.

        1. Brutus619
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Indeed :/

    4. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Unsure on Di Maria as wing back, probably be Janazaj

    5. Margarido
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That could easily be a 4-4-2 diamond.
      Black and Antonio FB.
      Di and Janu interiors.
      Mata in the hole.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        This as well!

    6. LMNO
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      interesting - ADM and Januzaj on left mid - if we don't win this match....

  7. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So whats the Costa situation like? not worth taking a hit for I imagine...

  8. In Moyes We Thrust #freeshi…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Have we all sold Costa?

    If so, who did you get in?

      jove here

      1. Tommytour
        • 13 Years

        Captaining?

    2. Shifty
      • 10 Years

      Adebarndoor

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yep.

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You can tell from the ownership stats.

    5. Evans
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Agueroooooooooooo

  9. The Chosen One...
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play Hutton (HUL) or Clyne (whm)?

    1. SwissWavey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Both are good but I'd say Hutton (and I've got Clyne in my XI)

    2. wedgec
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Tough one. The bookies have Villa as shorter odds for clean sheet but Clyne has a great attacking threat. Think Clyne edges it for me!

  10. duncansarmy
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Any inspiration on what to do with my 1FT lads?

    Szczesny
    Terry • Caulker • PVA • Hutton
    Hazard • Ramsey • Mata • Sigurdsson
    Rooney • Diego Costa

    Gilks//Fletcher//Young//Yoshida

  11. JMH
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Which 4m def long term? Wisdom / Duff / other

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hutton but crap fixtures after today
      Wisdom should be ok

  12. El Reagano
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Repost

    Bench order help anyone? Got Costa in starting XI so

    a) Dier
    b) Bruce
    c) El Ahmadi

    Currently on abc as I'm still concerned about Bruce's game time. Stick or?

  13. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years

    Cue the typical
    11:31: Oh no! I just woke up and still have Costa (c)

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      or Begovic in goal

    2. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      good pick

    3. timski8000
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Might not be saying that at 19:31...

    4. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      • 13 Years

      and "i was drunk last night and logged in....".
      No you weren't, you're just a Helen Hunt looking for attention!

  14. SwissWavey
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Lost it on the last page.
    So, big last minute decision:

    a) Ramsey + Bony
    b) RVP + KiSY
    c) Rooney + Tadic

    1. JMH
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney/Tadic for me but you need Rambo in soon

      1. SwissWavey
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'm SOOOO tempted to go RvP as a massive differential.... I've had Rambo up to now, managed to squeeze Sanchez in too... all 3 have potential but my crystal ball is on the blink

  15. Christina.
    • 14 Years

    this week is first week where I am crapping myself. I predict (C) choices te be all over the show in the mini leagues.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Shite yourself and chose it afterwards

    2. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      who's your pick at the moment?

    3. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Is your real name Chris?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        no. it is Tina.

    Krul
    Cahill bruce hutton

    Good to go?

  17. Tatty Bojangles
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who will QPR play up front with Remy and Austin possibly missing out?

    1. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Caulker

      1. El Reagano
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        😀

  18. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    From what Jose has said, do we think that The Costa situation is a start or not play at all kind of thing?

  19. kennethrhcp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    gambling on Austin & Costa playing, both in my starting 11

    should I bench Austin?

    if yes start 1 of Young(bur) or Clyne(whu)

  20. Wej
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Captaining Jovetic over Rooney... who's with me?

    1. cheeky_ash
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Moi

    2. Kavali
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'll try that. Will Costa start today?

      1. Wej
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I doubt it but I'm starting him anyway. Not worth a captaincy risk I'd say

  21. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Are many (C) Jovetic ?.....what % of is at a rough guess ?

    1. Wej
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I am

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Not seen many posts this morning...are quite a few going for him?

  22. Brutus619
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I've finally settled on my captain.

    ALL HAIL DE JONG.

    The ultimate flair pick 😉

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cabella is my main punt

      1. Brutus619
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I was really struggling on whether to buy Cabella or De Jong this week.

        I think Cabella could do really well too!

    2. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Newcastle are "due"

      1. Brutus619
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Indeed they are!

    3. Woy of the Wovers

      Bit random.

    4. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't quite use the word 'flair'. Consider ballsy, suicidal or weird maybe? 😉

      1. Brutus619
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I was struggling between RVP & De Jong captain.

        Eventually logic took me to De Jong. I have tripled United attack, if they really struggle against Burnley I can hope that my captain mops up with saviour points.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Rooney to be sent off today - 33/1
    Caulker first scorer - 20/1
    Southampton to come from behind and win - 11/1

    these'll do me

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years

      None of those will happen
