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.

    Check out this WC team!

    Begovic
    Clyne - Moreno - Evans
    Mirallas - Fabregas(C) - Sterling(VC) - Zaha
    Welbeck - Costa - Falcao

    Bench: 4M keeper - Siggy - Shackell - N.Taylor
    In bank: 0.3M

    Only concerns for me now is:
    1. Who do I captain? Fabregas a good option yeah?
    2. Do I play Siggy over Welbeck?
    3. Do you think Sterling will play the full 90?
    4. Who do I choose between Moreno and Lovren?
    Thanks for any advice! 😀

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

      Yep
      Yep
      I sure hope so! Maybe not the full 90 though
      Moreno

      Best of luck!

    2. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      1 - it's anyone's guess. I'm on Sterling (C) but it's a lottery.
      2 - I'd say play Siggy, though it's tough.
      3 - I think he will play at least 70, with the 90 dependent upon the score
      4 - I think Lovren - despite moreno's goal, I'd say lovren has more to offer offensively (headers at corners). Uncertain though.

  2. Gooner97

    Bench Caulker or Wisdom first?

      Yes

    2. Messi & fabregas

      i did the same transfer

        its a boring transfer but seems to make sense

  4. Well you know, Triffic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Mata owners anonymous meeting:

    Could get rid of him for Fabregas but would cost -4

    OR

    Hope that he comes off the bench and grabs an assist or goal etc and sell him next week.

      Get McCarthy sub keeper.

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Actually I have it on Elliot...McCarthy better?

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

          Paid £6m for him, so might be a playing £4m keeper. Rest of it looks great, not sure who you'd captain this week though given the Costa and Sterling doubts.

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

    Any word on Ramsey or Costa yet? Was going to captain Costa, too much of a risk?

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

      Don't think he will play. José has spoken about giving other players a chance. Remy could make his debut. If costa does start he won't play he whole game. 70 mins max for me. Ramsey will play. Biggest game of the season they can't afford to lose him.

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

        both will start

      2. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers man. Might put the armband on Rooney or Fabregas.

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      what makes you think there'll be news so early?

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

        I don't really but haven't kept up with anything since about Thursday so I thought I'd ask.

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

      Captain Costa and put some thought into who vice captain incase he don't play

  7. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Baines, Welbeck & Lovren or Rooney, Moore & Pieters?

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

      A. By a mile.

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Funny thing is, if I posted the squad with both I'd be told the former's front line was too weak. Interesting.

  8. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    How is my team looking?

    I have one FT but I'm thinking I should stick, despite the numerous risks in my team. What do you guys think? Any recommendations?

    Krul
    Cahill, Bertrand, Wisdom
    Mata, Sterling, Ramsey, Siggy
    Costa (C), Rooney, Dzeko

    Bench: Foster, Marney, Naylor, Chambers

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      :/

    2. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I'd stick if I were you. It's a tough one - but I expect both of your key injury doubts (Ramsey and Costa) to play a part today. Best of luck!

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

    Awful lot of Pellè love going on here right now... I've not been particularly impressed finishing wise, not yet at least.

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

      Agree, he's fit the 'joke donkey player' tag well so far.

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

        Aye agreed with you on that, he has the physical side but the finishing is dodgy.

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Has scored twice in the last 2

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

        He has only scored 1 league goal and has no assists.

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

          Exactly.

        2. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Scored in the cup as well, has some great fixtures coming up... What is there not to love?

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

            The point I'm making is that he has not done enough to convince me that he merits a place in my team but I do agree that he has nice fixtures.

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

            We never take into account cup games. Nice fixtures but he really has not been great finishing wise, at all.

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

        that cup game was hilarious 😆 .. i watched it live and the number of chances he missed!! oh dear. the lad did end up scoring so good for him but i would not trust him at all yet.

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I'm captaining him 😆

          I don't mind him missing chances as long as he scores 🙂

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

      Same here.

  10. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Final checks before I leave it and celebrate the return of epl after a typically horrid international interlude.

    Krul
    Terry Chester Wisdom
    Fabregas Sterling (C) Ramsey Siggy
    Rooney (VC) Adebayor Balotelli

    Elliot - Marney - NTaylor - Jones**

    0FT, 0.3 itb.

    Spent my transfers rectifying injury issues. I could do Jones -> Lovren (-4), but I'm obviously hesitant to take a hit for a defender. The argument though is that Wisdom is highly unlikely to get more than 2 pts, whilst Liverpool look odds on for a CS, but more importantly, making the transfer now would free up my FT next week from having to be spent doing the same thing, at which time there will undoubtedly be more pressing matters.

    A) Jones -> Lovren (-4)
    B) Go with my better judgement and do nothing

    Cheers!

    1. Big Col
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I had same situation and chose to bite the bullet this week.

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      B, I would save this week... Liverpool usually struggle against Villa who are very good against them on the counter - Hold fort!

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

      You've thought it through, B.

    4. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all - just the validation I required. Much appreciated.

  11. Gooner97

    Captain Costa or Hazard?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      costa

    2. The Wayfarer

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

      Haz if u own him

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

      Hazard.

      You are taking an unnecessary risk captaining a player who may not play and I would never cap and VC players from the same team, as weird things can happen and you end up with no captain.

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

    1) Mirallas and Falcao

    Or

    2) Sterling and Lukaku

  13. The Joker
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Is this team G2G?

    DDG
    Moreno Clyne Terry
    Ramsey Sterling Fabregas Henderson
    Rooney Costa Naismith

    (Gilks ---- Siggy, PVA, Hutton)

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

    Morning guys. Should I get rid of Jovetic for a -4? Thinking Adebayor, other options include Welbeck, Dzeko, etc. Anyone under 9.2 really? All and any help appreciated!

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Similar issues. Lukaku also a possibility?

    2. connell83
      • 11 Years

      Have you thought about Naismith instead?

  15. Brinky07

    1. Hog Roast Junkie

    Jovetic to Welbeck for -4. Probably a bit daft eh?

    1. tw
      • 14 Years

      yes

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years

      I was forced because of injuries. Otherwise I wouldn't do this.

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      depends on who is playing for you instead

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

      Nope, I did it last night and still have three doubtful players

      1. Petes Sake
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I have 3 doubtful sand jov. Likely replacement is albrighton or Debuchy 🙁

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

      i did Jovetic to Welbeck for free and Hutton to Clyne for -4.. depends on how you type it out 😆

      1. Petes Sake
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I like your thinking haha!

  18. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Naismith still expected to start with Lukaku and Eto coming in?

    1. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      With his recent form can't see him being benched

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Naismith will start, Eto'o an injury doubt

  19. Richard Norris
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Zaha or Puncheon?

    1. Sebbo29

      Zaha for me

    2. Arvin-ation

    1. Revival

  22. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    i havent seen anyone suggest rojo united still have some tasty fixtures or would people go for evans instead

    and if you had to choose between di maria or the falc who would you have?

    1. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Rojo overpriced for me, equally good options in other teams for less

      I've gone Dim but plan on getting Falcao once he improves fitness, looks like he's carrying a bit of timber atm

    How's it looking for GW4? Sorry for the repost but keep asking myself the same questions:

    Who to captain?
    Moore or PVA?

    Courtois
    Clyne Colo Moore
    Hazard Ramsey Mata Sterling Siggy
    Aguero Adebayor

    Subs: Gilks, Vaz Te, PVA, Wisdom.

    Thanks in advance.

  28. Birds of Prey

    I'd like a differential Capt. (non-che).

    Tadic
    Mata
    Adebayor

    Thx for any thoughts.

  29. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Here's to Falcao owners and hoping he explodes of the bench after Rooney and co struggle to score again.

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      here's hoping he explodes from the start. 😉

  30. jimnastics
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Let's assume Ramsey does start, would you rather have Ramsey or Siggy this weekend?

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

      I'm on Ramsey.
