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.

    Changed my mind now lol...going Sterling captain.

    Also, should I get rid of Mata for a hit?

    1. Danny x-factor
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Keep for 1 week.

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

        Yeah think I will. He;s got one more chance

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

    Adrian
    Moreno, Bardsley, Clyne
    Streling(c), Mirallas, Chadli, Tadic
    Costa(vc), Adebayor, Falcao

    Mannone, Siggy, Janmaat, Hutton

    Good to go? First sub Siggy or Janmaat?

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

      Bench Siggy at your peril.

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

        away to Chelsea is the toughest fixture for every attacker imo(if there is one time this has to be it)

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

    Welbeck or ramsey ?

    1. Danny x-factor
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsey for long term

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Both. I have.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        You sound like Yoda.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Collecting Arsenal, I am! 😉

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

          He is Yoda.

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

      Welbeck if you can use the excess cash properly.

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

      Both. But if I had to choose Rambo.

  4. Danny x-factor
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who would you captain?
    A) Costa
    B) Sterling
    C) Rooney

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

      This is being asked on pretty much every page...

      I've gone Sterling

      1. Danny x-factor
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

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

    Final WC team, feeling really good about it! 🙂 Any obvious errors?

    Krul, (McCarthy)
    Clyne,Ivanovic,Trippier,(Moore,Hutton)
    Sigurdsson,Ramsey,Fábregas,Sterling,(Boyd)
    Welbeck,Diego Costa,Agüero

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

      Trippier pretty expensive for a burnley defender

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

        Thanks, they have good fixtures and he's pretty attacking. I'll probably trade out when their good fixtures come to an end.

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

          Yeah figured you had him in for those reasons. Im not going to persuade you elsewhere if you think he'll do well. Good Luck mate.

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Good effort! GtG.

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

      Tippier>Janmaat/Pieters?

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

        No love for Trippier? As far as I can tell, he attacks quite a lot and Burnley have a good chance at clean sheets?

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

          If you think he'll do the business, get him. I'll wait for the bandwagon 😉

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

      No hope with Manchester United?

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

        I had 3 uniteds and got burnt 3 weeks in a row. enough is enough until I actually see them put 3 past a team.

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

      McCarthy might not be first choice, so might not have a backup keeper if Krul doesn't play for any reason. Rest is great! Altho i'd go Bertie over Clyne.

  6. That's Groß
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Begovic
    Ivanovic Rojo Clyne
    Ramsey Fabregas Sigurdsson Sterling
    Costa Balotelli(c) Naismith

    Subs: McCarthy, NTaylor, PVA, Boyd.

    Is that any good?

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

      good to go

  7. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Evertons next fixtures;

    Sep 13th West Brom
    Thu 18th Wolfsburg (H)
    Sun 21st Crystal Palace (H)
    Tue 23rd Swansea City (A) C1C
    Sat 27th Liverpool (A)

    The question is which fixtures Mirallas will be rested in. Palace? Or just Europa League matches?

  8. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play?
    A. Wisdom
    B. Debuchy
    C. Dumnett

    1. Danny x-factor
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Wisdom

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

    Start with Moore or PvA? and why?

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

      I've gone PvA for attacking threat as i think they'll both concede

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

      Moore maybe. Stoke look a bit toothless

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

      Pva, attacking threat.

  10. Samwise the Brave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is Bertrand nailed on? Want to go Bertrand+Pieter's instead of clyne+wilson

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

      I hope so - I've got the Bertie / Pieters combo as well.

  11. RafaMC
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Schneiderlin at home to Newcastle

    or

    Sigurdsson away to Chelsea

    Help me choose

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

      siggy

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would play both, and bench your Chelski midfielder.

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

        😯

    3. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Siggy

  12. vova
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Got the following, you could argue for all of them to be the captain this week:

    Hazard
    ADM
    Sterling

    Costa
    Rooney

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

    Final decision; Ramsey > Sterling (-4)

    Worth it?

    1. Danny x-factor
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No

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

    who are you all captaining?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling, apparently. Me too.

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

      Raheem

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

      Playing a bit safe, Rooney

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I see boyd is the new albrighton

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

      meaning?

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

      Nah Boyd is cheaper 😉

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

    Captain Costa or Hazard? And why?

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

      costa, more involved

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Costa. Form. Class. Fixture.

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

    Play siggy, Naismith or Ramsey?

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

      all of them? 😕

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

        Ok, well more logical way to choose... Bench one of the above three?
        Currently benching siggy,

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Bench the Chelski mid instead.

  18. Punty
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    With Jovetic out, Dummet not starting and questions regarding sterling I'm starting to wonder if I should do a hit Dummett-> other safe 4.0 defender or do Jovetic->Pelle or Welbeck for -4.. Best to leave it be and get Wisdom in the team if sterling doesn't play?

    Schmeichel
    Clyne Ivanovic Lovren
    Sigurdsson Chadli Sterling Fábregas
    Jovetic Rooney Balotelli

    Subs: Krul Larsson Dummett Wisdom

  19. Fpl Old Guard
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play one of Ferdinand (Manu), Taylor (Chelsea) or Hutton (Liverpool)?

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

      Probably Taylor, Chelsea won't be as attacking the other two teams and Swansea are in the best form out of the three potential candidates' teams.

      1. Fpl Old Guard
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, I was leaning against Ferdinand as it wouldnt be a surprise if he scored against his old employers

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

      Man that is a shit position to be in.

      I'd play Rio i think

  20. Jacketts Potatoes
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Hey folks, hit the wildcard almost 2 weeks ago....

    I'd appreciate opinion and (constructive) criticism haha

    Krul guzan
    Ivan clyne Dier Hutton wisdom
    Rambo fab raheem Siggy dyer
    Costa balo Naismith

    Where would you alter?

    Thinking Guzan out due to fixtures but his price could rise tonight...

    Worried whether Rambo will play - wenger says fit but I see him being rested before the CL match midweek.

    1. Fpl Old Guard
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Looks good, but in two weeks time you may find that Wisdom, Dier, Hutton, Naismith and Balo are not the big favourites like they are presently

      1. Jacketts Potatoes
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        True... Only got wisdom and Hutton due to the low prices. Had them in from the start...

        What would you change?

        1. Fpl Old Guard
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          each to their own my friend

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

      I'd cash in your TV gains on Ivan, Dier and Dyer (Boyd or Arfield?) and maybe make Hutton and Wisdom safe (Moore & Duff?). Save enough for Naismith to Welbeck next week

  21. mbrucie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Should I field Wilson over any of Moreno, Evans, Clyne or Sig?

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

      Evans or Sig. The other two should definitely be in the 11

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

    Damn, this Ramsey injury scare... Think he'll play?

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

      Yes

    2. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Goal.com have an article saying he's been passed fit

    3. Jacketts Potatoes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently fit for the citeh game. Can't see him being risked though

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

      Doesn't matter if he does, its not going to be 6:3 this time. More like 0:0

  23. Daniel Porridge
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is ramsey and costa fit enough?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Costa 90%
      Ramsey 85%

  24. Misunderstood Genius
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    With most people making at least one or two transfers, who is your differential for the weekend? I've gone with Jelavic

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Larsson

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

      Schurrle and Balotelli (C)

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

        Sadly it is Tom Ince, such a victim of negative variance.

  25. Ash_195
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    bench siggy play zaha????

  26. Takedog1
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Will shaw play?

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

    So, am I right in thinking it's either Mata or Falcao to start?

    Surely both can't be fit in to the same side?

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

      Not necessarily, but that is most likely the toss up, yeah.

  28. WipWapJaws
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who would you play Eriksen (away to Sun) or Naismith (away to WBA)?

    Being a little indecisive esp as I have had 4 injuries this week

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

      Eriken is far better than Naismiith for me. I'm not even considering it and I have the same two players.

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

        Eriksen has looked all out of sort and Naismith has been playing well. I agree Eriksen is the more talented but has yet to show it. I am most worried about Eriksen hurting me

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

      On form, I'd go Naismith.

      Eriksen, assist as he does, very rarely scores more than one goal.

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

    @Doosra Re your comment on my post do you recommend the mirallas and naismith double up over tadic and naismith?

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

      I would

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I do so! 🙂

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

        okey dokey here goes! I hope neither of them are rested! At least I'll get 'the mighty Quinn' off the bench if one of them is!

  30. Jonah
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who should I bench, Naismith or Mata?

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

      mata

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

      I wish that was the extent of my dilemmas....Jesus wept.
