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.

      Can see only one real candidate.

      1. Hazard for Ballon D'or
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Who?

        Me too, I haven't given anyone but Costa serious consideration.

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          +1 has to be him

        2. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years

          No Hazard love? Normally does well at the bridge

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Fair enough, I probably would have considered Haz if I owned him.

    3. TheBabyfacedAssassin
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, but so hard to choose. Rooney, Sterling og Costa?

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Costa og?? Dying captain him so 😯

        1. Somalion

                This, I won't support any gang members.

      2. Hazard for Ballon D'or
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I'm currently torn between. Fabregas, Falcao, Di Maria, sterling or adebayor. I don't think costa will play today anyway and with city next week I'd rather have falcao for a couple of weeks. Still might change tho

        I'd go B as well.

  7. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the best pick for this week - Rooney, Falcao or Balotelli?

    I already have Sterling but no Utd midfield or forwards. I'm thinking Falcao in the long run but only if he hits the ground running

  8. Hazard for Ballon D'or
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Falcao or balotelli??

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      falcao

    2. Hazard for Ballon D'or
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Already have a midfield rom both teams.

      1. ashismalla
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        falcao

  9. Alberto Tomba

    Tadic + Ivanovic
    or
    Ramsey + Azpi

    Thanks

    1. Hazard for Ballon D'or

      latter

      1. Alberto Tomba
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Do you think Ivan's goal threat has subsided a bit, or that Rambo will keep picking up points in some tough fixtures?

  10. The butts
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    WC is operation

    Who is better to have in team
    Falcao or DiMaria

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      tough one. falcao scores more goals. di maria more assists. goals give you more bps and falcao better caprain choice so id say Falcao

  11. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Demichelis and Albrighton out for Wilson and Tadic for free?

    1. HST

          Doubt he'll rest his best performer this season thus far.

  12. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Bit early I know, but for NEXT week is this worth 8 points?

    Fab, Rooney and JWP OUT
    Silva, Welbeck and Sterling IN

    ?

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. One Terry Hurlock
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't do fab to silva but would take a -4 for the other two

  13. One Terry Hurlock
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Is ADM worth the money or should I go with

    A, Mirallas
    B, Lamela
    C, Erikson

    Then have the money to upgrade boyd to zaha and .5 for my defence?

    1. Absinthe Minded
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I did Ramsey to DiMaria last night

      1. One Terry Hurlock
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Will di Maria play cm tho, a lot of people saying he is to expensive for possible returns

  14. Mílanista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Let's try again, WC team:

    Forster, McCarthy
    Clyne, Toby Alderw, Ivanovic, Moore, Hutton
    Ramsey, Sterling, Chadli, Siggy, Boyd
    Costa, Balotelli(c), Falcao

    .2 in bank

    1. The Wayfarer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Great team man. Like the Chadli punt, and that's a serious forward line.

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Hazard for Ballon D'or
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice team. Think you might be a bit light in midfield but that comes with an incredible attack. Would you go balotelli or falcao I you had a midfielder from both teams?? Or take the risk on costa with a cheslea midfielder already in.

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, Chadli allows for Ivanovic and 3 big guns up top though I do like 3 heavies in midfield.

        Balo over Falcao as Liverpool have better form and fixtures. Costa would be my first choice.

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good. Interesting triple up with the Saints at the back. Love the Chadli pick.

      Tbh, I'd prefer Janmaat to Alderwield but I suppose you'd want to keep the saints trio as a "differential tactic".

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Damn right I do 🙂

        Have more confidence in Southampton as well

        1. Arvin-ation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Can you be tempted to go Zaha over Chadli? Both great picks though.....actually just stick with him. I really back him this week, hope it works out for you.

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            I did consider Zaha and Kun over Chadli and Falcao but funds fell just short. I really liked the look of Chadli last GW and the stats back it up.

    4. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Triple Soton is a bit much for me, although I'm doubling myself.. Particularly when you're going to have to play them all most weeks.

      The front line looks terrifying, which makes up for a slightly underwhelming midfield. I like it, only worry is if one of the big hitting midfielders establishes themselves, but you have plenty of scope to shuffle funds I guess.

      8/10

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. A big hitting striker to Welbeck and Chadders to a 9-10m mid is always an option though for now I like the setup I have.

    5. Tiote on Peyote
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure triple Southampton defense is wise, why not get a Stoke guy instead of one of them?

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        For the thrill 😉

        They have excellent fixtures up to GW13, I think it will go well. Not entirely sure on Stoke at the moment.

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Thanks all for replies

  15. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all! Wildcard team is done, and it seems like my team value has gone up by 0.9m in the process, which is a nice side effect!

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Ivan Moreno Clyne (Moore Taylor)
    Ramsey Sterling Fabregas Siggy (Boyd)
    Costa Balotelli (c) Welbeck

    0.2 in the bank. Any obvious changes? Do I need to crowbar in some Manchester cover, be it red or sky blue?

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Nice team, think you can manage without either Manchester side for now. Always good to have a route to financing Aguero in mind.

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I guess that's where your (more imbalanced, if I may) team has the edge: you can see where the money for an upgrade will come from. When money is a bit more dispersed it gets tricky to bring in an Aguero if needed.

        Cheers man, food for thought for the next 2 hours!

        1. Mílanista
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I think yours is fine as it is. It wouldn't be to difficult to turn Balotelli into him with 2 free transfers.

    2. HST
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Great balanced team!

      I do fancy Utd to tonk QPR so would want in on that personally.

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, that's my worry... Maybe I'll put a bet on to offset it!

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Villa are a real bogey team for Liverpool and haven't been beaten at Anfield since 2010, I'd be astounded if sterling is rested especially with Sturridge also out.

    1. Crouch Potato!
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I would doubt it if Rodgers gives a toss about records, they are meaningless on the day.

    2. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      OTOH Villa's bogeyness not encouraging for Sterling captainers. Great this forum. Always gives you a reason not to do the perfectly sensible thing you'd planned!

    3. Tiote on Peyote
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      He'll be rested mid week I expect.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I doubt Brendan has checked history books.
      Still I expect he'll play Sterling.

      I've seen nothing to suggest RVP is a good buy but Falcao may be benched. I'd avoid both for now

      RVP - Will start and on Penalties

      Falcao - Doubt to start and no penalties but 1.5 cheaper.
