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.

    My new WC team, opinions please lads?

    Krul

    Wilson Clyne Terry

    Sterling Puncheon Ramsey Mirallas

    Costa Falcao Diouf

    Mannone/Lovren/Siggy/Wisdom

    Opinions appreciated.

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

      NOT Terry - Ivanovic.
      Naismith for Diouf, perhaps.
      Don't bench Sigurdsson, bench Puncheon.

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

        bench puncheon for a home game? nah

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

          Yes. Sigurdsson more likely to score points, imo.

          1. WestHam14
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            I am going to play Puncheon ahead of siggy I have a good feeling about him, Ivanovic I'm tempted by but for 0.7M extra it makes my team costly at the back, and I feel Diouf is a decent differential shout who has relatively decent fixtures?

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

            v chelsea away no chance mate.

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

      Don't like Punch, Mirallas, Diouf, Krul...sorry. But that's just my taste.

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

      falcao won't start.

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

        I personally rate Wilson as a long term risk, Huth is a strong, tough and dominating defender, even if he does have wandering elbows.

  2. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…

    Just switched Captain Costa to Sterling....

    Wise or stupid?

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

      could be either

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

      Wise. If Costa doesn't start...

      I considered the same - but have ADM (C) instead.

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

      good play.

    4. Boz

      Nobody knows...

    I had a dream a while ago that QPR beat Man Utd 1-0. Now the fixture is upon us a feel obliged to place a bet on this outcome.

    Or would that just be throwing money away? Should I stick to an accumulator?

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

      As a United fan...I say there are riskier bets. Why not.

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

      man u 2-0.

    3. Adro3

        • 10 Years

        Put a small amount on at a site where you can lay off if they actually do go 1-0 up.

    1. Lawrø

      Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    2. BeachBadger

    3. mdm

    4. Jax

        I don't think Arsenal will get any joy this afternoon and I don't rate Arsenal's fix as much as other teams.

  8. mbrucie

    Best defender 5.5 and under? (Apart from Lovren and Clyne)

    Ok, I think this is what it all comes down to:

    W) Sanchez and Costa

    Or

    Z) Hazard and Falcao

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

      W

  13. MJ6987

    Best captain?

    Rooney or Costa?

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

      Costa

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

      Costa out of the two

    3. Lawrø
      • 12 Years

      De Gea.

      i am sticking with rooney... utd can't continue to be this shite, can they???

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        They can, but they probably won't with all those new signings...

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

      I'm going Rooney, he's due a return and playing a poor team at home. Costa is an injury doubt and playing a team in form. I could be wrong though 🙂

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

      Rooney will play deeper imo.

    Doos - why bench chelsea mids?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

        what record is that?

        also who are you captaining this week?

        1. Declan-
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Record of 43 or so points on the bench

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

          Most points on the bench, in the 40s

          Rooney

      TW? Look at this:

      http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/1373/

      Moreover, Fabregas and Hazard will cannibalise each others points, imo.

  15. colin1201

      Actually think Eriksen is going to pop out the woodwork

      1. Jax
        • 14 Years

        eriksen all the way

  17. Demelbrush
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    play one: Duff, PVA, Colo

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

      PVA

  18. joinho
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Begovic or Mignolet?

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

      Begovic

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

      Both good shouts. Leicester have looked pretty dangerous though, so I'd say Mignolet.

  19. GreennRed

    Any chance that The Welsh Jesus gets gametime v City?

    1. teddy.

      Every chance, I'd say

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I believe so...

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

    So, my wildcard team has 10 players different from the team before! Seems reasonable!

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

      Me too planned not to make too many changes but just got carried away

    2. Jax

    A- Terry / PVA / Caulker - Mareny - Rooney / Dzeko

    Right think I'm set

    DDG

    JT, Moore, Clyne

    Siggy, Hazard, Sterling, Ramsey

    Costa, Naismith, Rooney (c)

    Gilks, Caulker, Marney, Naylor

    1. Lawrø

  25. gers23

    Benching Erikson over Siggy correct? Also thoughts on Rooney captain?

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

      I'm not gonna bench Siggy, unless injured. Rooney might be a good captain pick, but I cannot choose him...last game was such a mess...but I might be wrong in this.

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Yes. No.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Current front 3 of

    Rooney Jovetic Fletcher

    Jovetic > balotelli or Costa or another?

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

      Balotelli IMO

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

        As long as you captain him and make room for Costa in the coming weeks.

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

          Can you take -4 and turn Fletcher into Naismith? I think that would improve the long term health of your team if you have gone for an expensive midfield.
