The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 4

We target a trio of players with plum home matches on their agendas this weekend in our attempt to get the better of Paddy.

Our first stop is at Selhurst Park as Neil Warnock prepares for the first home match of his second stint at the helm. Having grabbed a late equaliser off the bench in the last Gameweek, Wilfried Zaha looks poised for a start as Palace entertain promoted Burnley, and with Paddy offering 8/1 on Zaha to score and the hosts to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to throw £3 their way.

Next up we head to St Mary’s, where Ronald Koeman’s side go in search of their first home win of the season. The Saints’ 3-1 victory at West Ham in the previous Gameweek certainly suggests they are finding their form, and with a goal in each of his last two in all competitions, Graziano Pelle has caught the eye. Paddy are offering 16/1 on Pelle to score two or more against Newcastle and the Saints to chalk up a second clean sheet in succession in front of their own supporters – we fancy a punt on this one and shell out another £3.

We leave our final £4 for Liverpool’s Anfield clash with Villa. The absence of Daniel Sturridge will be sorely felt by the Merseysiders and instantly hands Mario Balotelli the chance to shine in front of his own supporters – with Paddy willing to offer 6/1 on Balotelli to score two or more goals and Brendan Rodgers’ side to bag a clean sheet, we place our faith in the Italian and make this our bet of the week.

    One mug of tea down second made and I'm ready to face the day.

    -8 for the week and my H2H opponent in my £ ML has Wildcarded against me.
    Time to peruse my teams in other games.

    Is everyone else set to go?

    1. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, I'm on my second cuppa too. -4 for the week (Mirallas/Welbeck for Eriksen/Jovetic) and now need to set up my UFPL squad for the GW 😀

      Morning Flynny.

      Two cuppas done.

      Far from set. Numerous FPL dilemmas. All other games sorted except TFF and UFPL post-lineups substitutions.

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Hi Teddy, I forget the post line up options in some games if I'm not focused.

        I'm doing Sky in stead of UFPL and Sportal for a bit of variation. Good luck for the week.

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

          You too buddy.

          I always make sure I'm covered if I forget to check lineups. I rarely check them anyway, as there's always the chance that someone will come off the bench to score. But I've got a couple of question marks in the early kickoff and a decent alternative to bring in instead.

          Going to be at a wedding though, so last minute changes could be awkward!

    Who's everyones captain?

    1. BigManBakar

        +1

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

      Costa although swaying toward Sterling.

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

      Falcao....

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

            The prudent thing to do is captain Balotelli 😉

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

              😆 of course, how did I not see it??

    6. Valar(Keith)

      Rooney

    7. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Caught between Costa and Rooney. They'll be captain and vice, one way or the other.

  7. WSRevilo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Hey, would you with this team, 2FT and £0.

    De Gea
    Cahill, Coloccini, O’Shea
    Siggy, Ramsey, Henderson, Erikson
    Costa, Balotelli, Rooney
    (Gilks, Chambers, Chester, King)

    Thinking Chambers -> Wilson for Stoke's fixtures, or retain the transfer to see how Falcao etc play.

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

      Ditch Eriksen and Chambers!!

  8. DynamoTomato
    • 12 Years

    Begovic (Krul)
    Wisdom Cahill Van Aanholt (Chambers Hutton)
    Ramsey Sterling (vc) Mata Zaha (Siggurdson)
    Costa (c) Welbeck Rooney

    Everything in order here?

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

      id start siggy over welbeck

  9. 5678
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What the heck should I do with this lot? http://i.imgur.com/ADNPEAN.png

    Do I bring in Sterling for Mata, or are there more pressing concerns?

    1. New Ghost
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      get rid of jovetic

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

      ditch jovetic. Costa may not start.

    !

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Risky if Falcao starts on the bench

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Looking very good. Not too sure about your captain I would rather have Costa(c)

  19. teddy.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    X) Sterling + Costa

    Or

    Y) Balotelli + Hazard

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

      X easily

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      Looks a straight gamble to me Teddy. Toss a coin.

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

        X is cheaper, but Y costs me 4 pts...

        1. Absinthe Minded
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          X then

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

            Er... I mean Y saves me 4 points.

  20. Alberto Tomba
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is Tadic the best Mid for 8.8?
    I already have Sterling, Siggy and Zaha. Dyer is my other consideration but leaves me weak for this week.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Mirallas. I chose him over Tadic.

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

      Him or Mirallas

      1. Alberto Tomba
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks chaps. I prefer Tadic of the two so that's safe then

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          2-1 to Mirallas 😀

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wait. no Fabregas!?

      1. Alberto Tomba
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        No, he's too much and with poor fixtures and possibility of injury I'm willing to make the sacrifice..

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          What injury? Haven't heard.

        Hmm ok. Lots of mirallas support. Is he looking like he will score? - or is it like last season when he ran manically for great stats but you could se he wasn't really that likely to score

  21. mipola

      With Luis around I'd personally go for Cahill or Terry for the extra 0.5.

      he's safe for now. cant see mourinho dropping him unless an injury occured. think felipe luis will be used in cl n cup games

      With Champions league returning I think there will be some rotation but think he will play most weeks, if you have a good bench keep Azpil

      Naismith on the Bench could bite you.

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

        zaha on the bench could do too though.
