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.

    Think I'm good this week:

    Krul

    Dummet Azpi Aanholt

    Eriksen Fab Siggy Ramsey

    Jovetic Rooney Aguero

    Should I feel as confident as I do?

      Bold. Your midfield must be stacked.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Kind of...Have 1.5m in the bank..so haven't fully utilized my resources yet..

    3. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I hope they do.

  6. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Rooney or Sanchez for the armband.

    Head says Rooney, gut say Sanchez....

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Use your head.

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

        Or just ask others to make his mind up for him.

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

          waheeey

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

      Gooner ?

      Has to be Sanchez

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

        Yup, world class playing OOP (probs on pens and direct free kicks) against a promoted side that will be on the attack.

        Oh, and he plays for the Arse

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

      If I had Sanches, I'd probably (c) him

    4. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Gut.

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

      Alexis

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

      I'd probably go for Sanchez in this situation, but I do have a soft spot for Burnley so it could be influencing.

  7. amol
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Jovetic(C)? Didn't go with Aguero because I dont know how many minutes he'll be on the pitch

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

      You could make the same argument about jovetic

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

      30 seconds is plenty

  8. Thomass
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Bony captain??
    Ramsey captain??
    Costa captain??
    Jovetic captain??

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

      Ramsey

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

      Bony

    3. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsey out of them

    4. Notorious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Jovetic!

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

    Ferdinand or PVA?

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

      PVA

    2. fatherted
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Stick with pva

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

      pva

  10. Tin of Directors
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Guys - is spending the extra on Haz really worth it over Fab??

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

      IMO yes

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

      You are asking this now???

      All down to preference, and whether you think the extra money is worht spending elsewhere.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Only if penalties are on offer.

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

      Yes, he'll show all the people wrong who knee jerked him out for Fab

    5. tw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      yes imo

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

      I think Haz is more of a captaincy option.

      Not worth it for me though, Fabs will tick over like a monster all season - i'm happy to leave him in for all 38.

      1. Tin of Directors
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks all.

  14. seanie3
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    anyone think that chambers will play in midfield with arteta out?

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

      No, Flamini probably will

      1. seanie3
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Do you think chambers will play at all today..

    2. Arse Craic
      • 14 Years

      next season…

  15. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    *changes captaincy from Ramsey to Rooney*

    1. gravless
      • 12 Years

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

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

        I hope they will equally haul this week 😀

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

      Hey mate!
      What transfer did you finally do?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Plain old DDG to Krul

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

          same here..

          still tempted to swap Costa to Ade though, so I hope I'll survive the next 30mins ;p

    4. Chris_White
      • 12 Years

    1. Kew Pee Arr

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 12 Years

        He will get booked mind.

    2. Rambo to the rescue
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Would clear out young if you can he is a drain.
      I am also in a punting mood so would bring in Ballotelli, but I am captaining Sanchez so whom knows

    Curry last night. Gut says Costa (c)

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Should be explosive 😉

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

        Hopefully clean up.....

    2. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years

      Puncheon (c)?

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

        Now there's a thought.....

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

    let's try that again cuz I fecked up the link 😆

    http://www.strawpoll.me/2453864/

  23. Sheep Flavour
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So did anyone see the Chelsea presser? Is Costa fit?

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

      Yes

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers 🙂

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

      Possibly

  24. Ninja Škrtel
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Should I captain Bony??? hurryyy... :))

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

      I like this option. So yes.

  25. bigdip
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Begovic (Myhill)

    LUIS Debuchy Hutton (Wisdom, Pieters)

    Mata Eriksen Ramsey Sigurdsson (Coutinho)

    Rooney COSTA Naismith

    A) LUIS & Costa -> 4.6 def & Aguero
    B) LUIS & Costa -> Ivan & Jovetic
    C) LUIS & Coutinho -> Ivan & Di Maria/Lamela

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

    So the general consensus is.

    If you have a FT use it to take out Costa.

    But if you don't have a FT don't take a hit to swap him for Jovetic because Jovetic won't outscore him by 4 😉

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

      My consensus is Costa is injury prone so I don't want him anymore. He's not over all those niggles from last year, soon to be a flop.

      1. Sheep Flavour
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Lol.

  27. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play Azpi or PVA?

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

      Az might not even play

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

        You think?

  28. mohit thekop
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    is captaining silva sensible??

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

      No. But could be genius

    2. Planet Jo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Interesting. Currently have it on Aguero, but also have Jovetic, Silva.

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

      I've done it a few times and got burnt most of the time

  29. Khal Drogba
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Too much uncertainty. Sticking with my team (including Costa). Logging off. Hoping for the best.

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

      Yeah i'm going to do the same.

      International break to throw the WC if it all looks messy after tomorrow 🙂

      At least we'll know all the new signings etc.

  30. Justbored
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Zaha to start? Or too risky and i should look somewhere else.. 7m budget

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Take a punt on De Jong...if he starts..

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

        This

      2. Justbored
