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.

    A) ADM and Welbeck
    B) Zaha and Falcao

    Got to be A right....?

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Tough one actually but yeah, A by a slim margin

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

      I'm considering this and leaning to B.

      Just because I'm more confident with Falcao for armband.

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

        I think there is way too much variance in B for that to be the correct pick. Therefore A is better overall, at this stage of the season.

  2. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is Wisdom no longer a good pick for the bench?

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

      I still think he's a good pick

  3. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Captain Hazard or Costa? Why?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hazard, safer.

      1. Sebbo29
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        this

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

      I'd go Haz if I still own him. Feeling we might win our first pen today 🙂

    3. GoldenDonkey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I think Hazard is likely to play more minutes on average, however if they both start, I rate Costa over Hazard as he is slightly more explosive. With a known goalscorer in the team, a lot of pressure has been lifted from Hazard in the hunt for goals scored. I wonder how this will affect his overall stats.

      Out of interest, I would have rated Costa over Hazard on penalties. Striker momentum theory and all that. Is Hazard #1 penalty taker now?

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

    Straight up choice:

    A) Baines
    B) Coleman

    ?

    (help)

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Coleman if any of those is a must but I like neither

    2. GoldenDonkey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Baines - He has more chances on average to score points as he is on deadball situations, which he is a known expert at.

  5. Sebbo29
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    bench Siggy or Mata?
    Current MID is
    Sterling Ramsey Siggy Mata Zaha

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Siggy.

      1. Sebbo29
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        cheers

  6. Jimbo123
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Best option here:

    A.) Dzeko out for Pelle/Naismith

    B.) mata out for tadic

    C.) both mata and Dzeko out for hazard/Cesc and Naismith/Pelle -4

    D.) keep both Mata and Dzeko this eweek at save FT

    ???

    Ta!

    1. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years

    2. Spatburgunder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  7. Albert Cole
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    ADM and Balotelli
    or
    Ramsey and Falcao?

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      ADM and Balo I'd say

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

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

      Good to go, its a coin toss between soggy and hendo bench really though. Good luck!

  9. gtf
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Im going for this, hows it look?

    Krul
    Terry - Clyne - Robertson - Moore
    Ramsey - Sterling(c) - Siggy
    Aguero - Falcao - Costa(c)

    Subs: Eliott, PvA, Marney, Powell

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

      you can only have 1 captain unfortunately mate

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

      I do like the look of it though

  10. GOONER
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Already wildcarded got Falcao but thinking of getting Balo for this GW if he is not going to start then get him back in.

    Any ideas?

    1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd like to see utd turn their form around and falcao show he's not still injured before I get him in

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

      Falcao might not start, so too risky in the short term...although will come good longer term.

  11. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Can't wait for the games to get going this weekend. Still waiting to see how some of the new signings settle before I get them in. Utd line up is going to be interesting...

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

    Morning Guys! One last question before I bid you all good day and good luck!

    Begovic

    Clyne Moreno PVA

    Siggy Mirallas Fabregas Sterling (C)

    Costa Aguero (VC) Pelle

    Guzan Naylor Moore Quinn 0.9 ITB

    Good to go or should I do PVA, Mirallas and Pelle > Ivanovic, Tadic, and Naismith?

    Good luck guys!

    1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd stick unless you're on a wildcard

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      If you're on a WC, I would get Ivan. But the team is strong atm.

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

      on a wc sorry forgot the key point!

  13. RH7 - Steamer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone captaining Aguero? We all know big games in EPL usually go big with scores, so I'm quite surprised nobody reflects on this...

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

    Bardsley, Pieters or Wilson?

    1. Cheggers v2
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wilson

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

      lol nice grav. shows exactly how we feel right now. y you know pick someone 🙂 pieters by the way

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

      Defo Pieters if money no object

    4. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on Bardsley and has served me well so far but if I were on a WC i'd prob go with Wilson for the extra cash

    5. BLACKSHEEP
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Pieters for security of starts.

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

        I had the same choice, with Shawcross included too. I picked Pieters as I believe he represents the best value for money. He picked up BP in a 1-0 loss, I think that is impressive.

  15. Cheggers v2
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Krul or foster?

    1. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      both will prob concede but i'm going with Krul, won't make much of a difference anyway

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

      I have Naismith so going Krul

  16. laGan1n1
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Balo (c) done

  17. HP.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Falcao or RvP for the long term ?

    1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Who knows, one of them is bound to be out with an injury at some point soon

    2. rnrd
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wait for a week or two to decide though I think RVP will be the one who falls

  18. Egyptian Eagle
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Dyer or Chadli ?

  19. Arvin-ation

    Anyone know how to download the FIFA15 demo on ps3? Can't seem to find it in the PS store.

    Cheers

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

      I added it to download queue from website.

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        So you accessed it through the ps3 browser? Care to elaborate? 🙂

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

          First I searched the game on PSN website from a PC. But didn't find the game, probably because I am located in Asia.
          Then I accessed PSN site through a VPS located in USA and found the game on PSN site. Added it to download queue.
          Finally I accessed download queue from the PS3 and the game was there.
          The tricky part is using the VPS I guess, I am a developer so I have access to some. I suggest you use a proxy software like hotspot shield if you cannot find the game on PSN website on your PC.

    Okay so I've haven't looked at any news on football or anything for the past two weeks until now. I have no idea what to do with my team, please help.

    Bego
    Terry, Caulker, Collicini, Moore, Wisdom
    Silva, Ramsey, Mata, Sterling, Siggy
    Rooney, Costa, Vaz Te

    I have 2 FT and 0.0 ITB

    1. inter the wild
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Mata > Zaha

      Vaz Te > Balotelli

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

        I'd drop Ramsey over Mata and reassess Arsenal players in a months time. I too think Vaz Te has to go.

        You could do Vaz Te > Naismith and upgrade a defender/mid.

  21. Adro3
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Used my FT...

    A) Mata to ???

    B) Rooney to ???

    C) Neither. Save 4 points. Thanks again 🙂

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    C: FABREGAS

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Costa

    2. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 11 Years

      Got to be costa, fabregas if you insist

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

        Costa.
        It could be considered risky to gamble now and fall further behind, we have barely left the starting post.

  23. getfunky
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Did anyone else stick by Dzeko, Terry & Rooney over the international break? Only lost 0.1, really happy about that, was expecting much worse.

  24. One Terry Hurlock

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years

  26. mouldy_uk
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Di Maria IN - Mata OUT
    Wilson IN - Jones OUT

    Would need to both to free up dollar

    Worth 4 points ??

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Just replace Jones for now. Mata might start this week.

  27. Quinny___
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Just done Aguero to Balo and keeping the 1.9 ITB.... Worth it?

  28. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is wlbeck better pick than ramsey for the first half season ?

  29. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play one from
    Hutton
    Moore
    Dummett

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

      Sounds awful lot like my defence... 1 too many 4.0s 😆

      Moore

  30. Baby Cuties
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Im gonna captain Haz over Costa

    With Costa a doubt, and regardless of what happened last GW, he could get his minutes slashed, or may not even start

    So this time, isnt it a good opportunity to chance your arm with someone else, say Hazard? He'll get 90 mins, which Costa may not, and could explode.

    So why not go for an educated Hazard punt?

    I welcome your counter arguments
