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 choice is ace this week.

    I've gorgeous Rooney, Costa and Fab but I'm going to go with Hazard.

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

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Costa, Hazard and Fabregas in your team 😯

    6. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard here

    7. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. He delivers at the bridge!

  2. mipola
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Costa could be the differential captain for this week

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Capt poll says otherwise

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

        It's not accurate

      2. chrisjdgrady
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Lol this

    2. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Costa differential captain 😀 😀

  3. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Just bought Mata back in (wc) Worth a punt?

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Chances are you'll probably be looking to offload him soon so no

    3. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I have him. Don't want him. Playing him just in case thoug

    4. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Would rather go with AdM tbh

    5. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No... I'd go Di Marie in a WC if you're wanting a ManU mid

    6. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      might do ok this week..headache after though.

    7. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No.

    8. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No, no, no. You literally just dumped him and nothing has changed in the interim. He's a doubt to start and is struggling for form. ADM perhaps but Mata, no!

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Well that told me 😐

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, yeah it did 😉

    9. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No.

  4. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Rmt please...
    Begovic
    Lovren--PVA-- Cahill
    Di Maria -- Fabregas -- Sterling -- Tadic
    rooney(c) welbeck Naismith

    (Krul Marney wisdom caulker)

    Cost me -16 B-)

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Weak doorways line

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Forward even

        1. That Fantasy Guy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Fair comment. I haven't played wild card.
          Got 2.3 in bank to upgrade in 2 weeks time hopefully barring injuries

    2. wood is good
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      -16 is mental. wildcard bro

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I have been going back and forth about that but this season is still young and when I do eventually play my wild card, hopefully it will be made up with ease when others are struggling....

        1. That Fantasy Guy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          And thanks for all comments

    3. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      If I took a -16 I would at least risk to captain someone with low selection e.g. Tadic or get the WC. As a team its ok I dont like Naismith

    4. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No Siggy 😯

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

    Don't get this love for Moreno. He scored wondeful goal but besides that hes stats are quite average and I still don't trust their defence.

    Still undecided between him or Evans.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      He's effectively played 1 game. Of course his stats will be crap

    2. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I'm kinda thinking the same, but can't see that many other good options - probably between him and Lovren

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

      Evans stats are good are they.

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

        Only Soton has better defencive stats than ManU.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Context is everything.

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

      He's had 1 game plus City versus 3 games for others. Stats are hardly helpful.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        This.

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Stats stats stats zzzz.

  6. skodaole2
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Good morning everyone! Good to go?

    Krul (Mannone)
    Moreno, Bardsley, Rangel (Caulker, Moore)
    Mata, Lamela, Sigurdsson, Ramsey (Albrighton)
    Rooney (C), Balotelli, Adebayor

    0 FT, 0.9 in Bank

  7. Schnellders24
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard and Ramsey
    Or
    Fabregas and Di Maria

    Had Fab/ADM in my wildcard all week however potentially leaning towards Haz/Ram due to being goalscorers more than providers like the other two.

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Fab and dim

      1. Schnellders24
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        On a consistency basis as surely the other two have more "explosiveness?"

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

    Why in the f#*k would my phone autocorrect "got Rooney" to "gorgeous Rooney"?!

    Worrying...

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

      😆

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Easy mistake. He's a good-looking lad.

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      rofl

  9. Telloth
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Krul (Bego)
    Colo Cahill Clyne (Debuchy) (PVA)
    Sterling Fabregas Siggy Ramsey (Barton)
    Rooney Costa Naismith

    I've done my free transfer, but I'm not happy with my team (3 potential injuries - Costa, Ramsey Barton). I think I'd like to keep Ramsey and Costa but I was thinking of doing Barton > Zaha, I'm thinking it's likely he'll do well at Palace and they have Burnley this week. Good transfer?

    1. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Dont take a hit for a player who you ll probably wont even use. If one of them is injured, Debuchy will enter (although I would start Debuchy)

    2. wood is good
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      yep

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

    If you had to......would you captain:

    A.) Falcao

    Or

    B.) Cahill

    ???

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

      It's a head to head draft league where scores are quite low.....hence being tempted by Cahill

      1. skodaole2
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Then Cahill

    2. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      None of them

    Manuel Pellegrini has told goalkeeper Joe Hart he can expect to miss games this season through rotation

    http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11679/9467205/joe-hart-told-to-expect-to-miss-games-as-manuel-pellegrini-rotates-city-squad

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      He'll be missing more than the odd game if he keeps making howlers like last week.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        he is actually so scrap now.

        1. QPR expects... glory!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I think he lost his form when he cleared up his dandruff 😆

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Dusting down your cats & pigeons Bemba 😀

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Must be baby steps if he's starting with Joe Hart 😀

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          True dat 😛

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

      Rotation and because he's occasionally a bit shit.

  12. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Costa or falcao on my wc?

    Already have fabregas.

    1. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Costa for now, can always switch when Falcao gets up to speed.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Costa! Ideally both in the long term

  13. Franfe98
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Any news on costa or ramsey?

    Thanks

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. The-Best
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Both likely not to play any minutes

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Lies. Ramsey been passed fit.

        Costa we aren't sure.

      2. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Source? I doubt they'll both miss the whole 90 min

        1. The-Best
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I'd say 80% both won't play champions league is around the corner and both these players aren't 100% so we all no that = no minutes

  14. AncelottiGapYear
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    sorry guys gotta
    ask

    rojo or evans?

    De Gea
    Lovren, Dier, Davies
    Siggy, Sterling, Fabregas, Ramsey
    Bojan , Costa, Rooney

    Is Bojan out or is he likely to play?

    1. AncelottiGapYear
      • 14 Years

    With Utd not playing till tomorrow this puts me off captaining Rooney given there 8 matches on today.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      it actually makes me want to captain Rooney even more

      1. BayerNevaLusen

        Really?

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Sunday night is gonna be a borefest with just one game and a hangover from tonight. Rooney(c) will make it more interesting for me

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        A long wait till tomorrow if Cost, Sterling etc deliver today

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years

          Entertainment value.. makes sunday football as interesting as saturday with a captain to play 😉

  21. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    No champions league to worry about, will probably play the full 90 minutes and still I can't get myself to captain Rooney with their current form, can't see Utd changing over night from a struggling team to a goal scoring machine, it will take some time imo.

    Costa (c).

  22. cilz88
    • 14 Years

    Phil jones out- who do I go for? Lovren or Moreno.
    Siggy or agbonlahor to start?

    1. BayerNevaLusen
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Moreno. Siggy

  23. BayerNevaLusen
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone want to try and talk me out of doing Fletcher ---> Pelle for a hit? Southampton have scored 9 goals in the past 4 games against Newcastle and I would be surprised if any of my bench players get more then 2 points. Surely its a no brainer?

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds like you've made your mind up.

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Your team. Go for it!

  24. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Can see goals today, every game over 2.5 goals is 162/1 quite tasty i think

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

      You will hate mourinho even more after today then

      1. Your Mum's Athletic

    2. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      every game 1.5 goals is rare enough. 2.5 is borderline impossible.

      just bet on each game as being 2.5 goals in a single bet. you'll make a profit

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years

        i'll do the maths, cheers sting

    So with the late news that the bacon is a bit iffy do I:

    a) risk it's ok
    b) transfer for sausage
    c) pair it with egg to provide cover

    on a ciabatta by the way.

    1. Woy of the Wovers

      How iffy?
