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.

    Captain Rooney or ADM

      Di Maria. World class. Rooney is out of form and only scores penalties these days.

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

      Rooney further forward

    4. RabMac

      I wouldn't captain anyone from Man Utd as they have been poor this season. Yes they will probably turn the corner and start putting in good performances but I expect them to be up and down this season.

      Yes this week but not long term due to Keane

  3. Graziano

    1. Tommytour

      Pieters for me.

  6. Tommytour
    • 13 Years

    Colo or Debuchy to start?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years

      Debuchy might get fwd

    Hi guys. Just joined recently as a member on here.

    Have run the RMT model, have a 6 week score of 314. Is that reasonable?

    Cheers

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

      Sounds decent to me - average over 50 a week and you'll have a good season 🙂

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

      Very good I'd say

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

      I would aim for a 60 point a week score but that still score should keep you above the average points each week

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

      never heard of this where is it? thx

      9 years, 9 months ago

      It's OK. In the game itself you need to be averaging 55+ to be on an upward curve. But RamT scores rarely get to 330+ without a DGW in there. Anything close to 310 should make you feel reasonably confident.

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Don't know how that ended up here...answer to the RMT question earlier...

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            not so stupid apparently considering that 2 others here have Caulker but OK got your point that it has to be JT iyo

    4. Henry Hill
      • 14 Years

      Caulker

      1. Sebbo29

  12. Gooner97

    Captain Hazard or Costa?

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

      Hazza

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

      Costa

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

      Hazard seems to be safer because of game time (Costa may not start, Hazard certainly will) and Chelsea have been scoring most of their goals early in the matches. In terms of form Costa seems way better. I have a feeling Chelsea is going to get a penalty 🙂

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

    Come on guys, respond to this, I'm responding to a lot of other post here!
    My burning question is: Hazard or Di Maria for next 4 GW? Already have Costa, Fab and Evans.

    Pro Hazard: Chelsea won the the 4 corresponding fixtures last season, Hazard is great at home, Chelsea scoring for fun and seems fixture proof, penalty taker (?), more projected points
    Pro Di Maria: Seems to be in great form, great run of fixtures, Man U attacking coverage (but how involved in the goals will he be?!), cheaper (not an issue though) and spreading the risk in case Chelsea flops/Man U attack suddenly gels.

    Con Hazard: Doesn't seem to be in great form, way harder fixtures, seems to loose value any time now, more expensive (but not a problem right now)
    Con Di Maria: Man U aren't good going forward at the moment, can play a great match but may not get creditet fantasy wise (assist the assister / playing too deep),

      ADM.

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

      Hi Logipuh!

      I think you lined up the arguments as well as anyone could have done. I'd probably rather have Hazard myself, but there is a lot about Di Maria we don't know right now so it might well turn out to be wrong.

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

      Hazard imo, proven in the league, bedded into the team, on penalties, better team.

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

        But I'm a safety first kind of player.

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

        What stats do you reckon is the most important ones? I believe Hazard will improve over the next games (3 home games in the next 4 and be more involved).

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

      Hazard

    6. SuperMario

      Hazard

    7. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hazard. On penalties and has more goals in him than Di Maria.

    8. Marky Hotspur
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      ADM, you already have strong Chelsea coverage with Cesc and Costa. ADM will be an assists beast.

    Falcao to start ... Old Trafford gonna be rocking tomorrow.
    I am predicting a Falcao start and a brace incoming ...
    My Captain !

    Rooney to Falcao done !

    1. Tommytour
      • 13 Years

      Rooney brace Falcao on bench then 😉

        van persie

      Falcao to start??

      1. King Henrik
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah he will start

  15. The Grey Man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Falcao or Rooney

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

      Rooney, most likely to start from the two.

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

        Rooney's form is abysmal and he will probably be playing a lot deeper now.

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

      Falcao - got to score more over next three than Rooney did over first three

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

      Seems like Rooney is going to start. Di Maria was eased into the team last GW, so expect Falcao to be given the same treatment.

      1. Jimbo123
        • 14 Years

  18. Onwards

    I'm punting on Jovetic to Gayle.

    I also have no Liverpool coverage as I have no clue how they will line up. Villa have appeared to be quite solid and have a decent recent record at Anfield.

    Feel free to mock me now or later.

    1. NATSTER

      Yes there is.

      Although it's nice when you want to bring someone in and you have that extra wad to afford it.

    Seems like Costa will play today. Trained yesterday and has has a full week to recover.

    Can't see Josè benching him in this form.

      As long as he stays fit he's a season keeper.
