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.

If you’re new to Paddy Power, you can take up any of these odds and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up on this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

    Morning Gents,

    Between a rock and a hard place at the moment. 2 FT and 1 ITB so don't want to lose any:

    Krul

    PVA Debuchy Caulker

    Mata Silva Siggy Ramsey (C)

    Rooney Costa Dzeko

    Thinking of a 'mini WC -4'

    Mata Costa Dzeko > Auero Ade De Jong , or just Dzeko to Ade and save???

    Thoughts or any other ideas welcome

    Thanks for the help!

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years

      Caulker out to clyne for me

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

      Wouldn't say a lot needs changing right now, is your bench up to scratch?

      1. Spatburgunder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Bench is elliot Marney Moore kelly

    3. Arse Craic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      de Jong in for me

      1. Spatburgunder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'm thinking that. You reckon the -4 is worth a shout ?

    4. vice
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Only Dzeko > Ade

    5. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers for the replies guys. I think it's the -4 , aguero and de Jong tempt me too much !

  2. Francescoli

    will RVP score a hatrick and screw us all?

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

      Not if you own him 😎

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      no

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

      been tempted to captain him this week - massive differential

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

        Me too, I captained De Jong in the end.

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      rooney as dzeko a risk and sanchez could steal ramsey lime light

  4. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Does anyone has the link the the Thomass's IPL spreadsheet?

  5. TorresMagic™

    Such a tough week for captaincy.

        You interested?

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years

      Remember the name its Wayne Rooney .

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      With Torres gone..you must be in a real confusion on whom to captain 😉

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

      great week for a punt

    6. Demí
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Think i'm going with the 4th highest scorer in Prem history against the worst team in the league

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

        Yeah Rooney all the way

      2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        no-one at Burnley has scored that many, surely?

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

          😆

        2. Demí

        3. Billy Gilmore

          😀

  6. Judas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So I dropped Costa yesterday after the press conference and now people are saying he is fit? Am I screwed

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Don..relax

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

        thankyou hhaha

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Nobody really knows but it looks like he might be fit

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

      I think he will not play at all or some first half appearance max, Jose has his reasons for not being honest about Costa (me thinking) 🙂

  7. Syd.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So United signing an average player is a big deal now

    Tut Tut

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He's nothing special, as time will show.

      1. Heydudes13
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Here he is. 🙂

        1. Breadbin
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Hey dude.

    2. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      he's not average

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Below average???

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

          whatever.

    3. Heydudes13
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Sensible buy, will fit in seamlessly. : - )

      1. Jax

        Better than the tosh they have at the moment

    4. Make United Great Again

      Ohhhh because Mangala is a world beater

    5. Judas

      9 years, 9 months ago

      disagree, think he is a talent

  8. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    help!! start with
    A) van Aanholt (qpr)
    B) Wisdom (swa)

    *bottom of page repost

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years

      PVA

    2. Park the bus

      Yeh PVA for me

  9. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I've got Costa, Dzeko and no FTs. Can't make a decision. 🙁

    I don't think doing a -4 to take out Costa for Jovetic who would need a goal just to pay for the transfer is worth while. I can't see him bagging more than one, or Adebayor for that matter.

    So, I'm staying put. 😐

  10. Benteke10
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Which three should I start with this gameweek?

    Ivanovic - Clyne - Bertrand - PVA - Dummet

  16. Gooner Kebab

  17. Pav A Nice Day

    Dzeko for Jovetic? Is it worth it? Or should I take out Costa instead?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not for a hit.

      1. Pav A Nice Day

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  19. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Sorry for re post. Head is wrecked today and cant decide what to do.

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

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

    I've got 1 FT BUT 0 in bank,

    Any ideas/suggestions

    Thinking Sissoko to Young at the moment

    Also, would it be mad to put the armband on Silva

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Save FT. Silva (c) is punty.

    2. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I really want to captain silva aswell

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ive got it on Ramsey at the moment, but my head is saying do it, risk it for the differential. But I've had a solid start to this season so not sure if im willing to risk that.

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

    I keep backing United players based upon the logic that surely they must have a good result sometime soon...

    1. chuckberry04
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yes me too. Only 2 gameweeks in and they're playing the relegation candidates now. Besides Mata and Rooney already scored so.

  21. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Costa will play 60-65 minutes with Drogba coming on or Costa won't play at all and we'll see fabregas/schurrle operate a false number nine role

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

    Sterling is gonna tear it up this GW. Maybe even a hatty.

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

      Amen

  23. Thomass
    • 12 Years

    Who shall I captain? Jovetic, Costa or Bony, Ramsey?

    1. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

    5. zarate

    1. Jafooli

    2. Evans

      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsey

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

      Rooney is the obvious choice.

      I can see United putting 3-4 past Burnley.

    4. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      1 obviously.

  25. JMH
    • 10 Years

    Duff/Wisdom for the long term.

  26. Whazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Where do I spend this FT? ( otherwhise goes to waste ) 0.0 ITB

    Krul Foster

    Cahill Debuchy Chester Naylor Moore

    Mata Ramsey Lamela Siggy Marney

    Dzeko Rooney Costa

    1. JMH
      • 10 Years

    For all of the new signings, i'm most looking forward to getting Walcott.

    Who are you looking forward to getting in that has't yet been available due to injury?

      • 13 Years

      I'm in the same boat. I do love having Walcott when he's fit - he always makes Arsenal look a touch more menacing when he plays.
