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.

    Gah! Indecision!

    Zaha played well but who knows if he starts?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He starts 100%

    2. Carl@streetkids.com.au
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Neil Warnock

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

    Falcao or Rooney?

    1. Tatty Bojangles
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney this week, Falcao from next week.

    2. Carl@streetkids.com.au
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Falcao

      Rooney's only going to be hanging in there because of the arm band.

      Goodness knows what LVG is doing. Or Woy for that matter.

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

        That is exactly why I'm thinking of Falcao. But that arm band will keep Rooney place as a nailed on this GW.

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I have a cunning plan.

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

    Best option here:

    A.) mata out for Cesc

    B.) Dzeko (I already have Aguero) out for Pelle/Naismith

    C.) mata out for tadic

    D.) both mata and Dzeko out for hazard and Naismith -4

    ???

  5. CarrollEFC

    Ramsey and Balotelli
    or
    Eriksen and Costa

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      First one.

  6. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Play Foster home to Everton or Krul away to Southampton?

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

      I'm going Krul, I think...

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

      foster. save points

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

        Can see Krul racking up as many saves at So'ton to be honest

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

          nah saints will score more than everton

    3. Gregor

      Foz.

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

    On WC: Is Aguero an essential inclusion, I'm being told that he probably is???

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

      He would be nice to have but would not say he is essential and it is unlikely that he will play full 90 and good chance he gets injured. Saying that, while he is fit and playing he will get points.

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

        Good points, I'm thinking of having Balo in his stead with enough money ITB for an upgrade when fixtures improve...decent idea?

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

          Liverpool do have nice fixtures and we know Balo will play and probably through the middle while Sturridge is out. We also know Balo can be world class when he is in the mood but he has yet to prove it at Liverpool. I think Balo is a risk but probably one worth taking with these fixtures.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not essential.

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

      No, people back against him all the time.

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

      He isn't imo, Falcao, Rooney, Costa, Balotelli are all better options

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

      Pretty unanimous, cheers lads.

  8. RabMac
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Can't decide on captain torn between Liverpool or Chelsea player.

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

      liv

  9. The butts
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Is it worth trying to get Debucy into my team (no arsenal def and wc active). I'm going against because of arsenal fixtures

    Good idea
    Bad idea

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

      baaaaaad

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

      Bad.

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

      I would stay clear until their fixtures improve as have not been that impressed with them so far.

  10. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Evans or Moreno?

    1. Henry Hill
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Moreno, no way I would even consider a member of United's less-than-average defence

  11. Henry Hill
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone know good football podcasts they would recommend? Listened to Guardian one for first time yesterday, wasn't too bad

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

      guardian head and shoulders above rest. The Times is ok. I find the football ramble annoying

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

      The Football Ramble is the greatest football podcast out there.

      1. Henry Hill
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks I will check it out

  12. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Are CBs still more likely to pick up bonus points?

    Trying to pick between Alderweield & Clyne, Lovren & Moreno.

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      easy Lov/mor

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

      Clyne has a lot of attacking threat

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

        Full backs will rarely get attacking points though (unless your name is Kolarov) I'd prefer to rely on bonus points.

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

    People too excited about chelsea and united and seem to forget city's attack.

    Think city will go all guns blazing against arsenal after last weeks loss.

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

    Sell or keep Ramsey?? On a WC

    Can do Ramsey > Sanchez

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

      I've gone with the view of selling him knowing that I can still afford to get him back if needed

  15. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Your pick, Gents?

    A) Evans+Adebayor
    B) Ivanovic+Welbeck

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      b

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

      easy B

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

      B.

      I think Welbeck will do really well with Arsenal. Ivanonic is already proven to be consistent so far.

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

    TV check? mine is £101.7m

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years

    2. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      £101.6m

      Don't think it matters much right now

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

      100.9

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

      101.8. Don't think it matters much as spending power is still only 100.5 or so anyways

  22. Revival

    • 11 Years

    After benching Clyne and Pieters for away games in which they assisted or scored surely my rotation plan of benching Hutton and Ferdinand this week is solid, no?

  29. mdm
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Mata to Sterling or save the FT? Planning to get rid of Mata anyway, but should it be this week when he has QPR at home and there are doubts over Sterling starting?

    Falcao or Rooney?
