The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 5

We target a trio of players who all found the net in the previous Gameweek in our attempt to get the better of Paddy this weekend.

Our first match is at St James’ Park as out-of-sorts Newcastle prepare for the visit of Hull City. The Magpies have now conceded three times in each of their last two league matches and their porous defence looks there for the taking – having scored on his debut, we’re backing Abel Hernandez to heap further misery on Alan Pardew later today. With Paddy offering 11/1 on the Uruguayan to score two or more goals and for the Tigers to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to throw £3 their way.

Next up we head to the King Power Stadium, as Louis van Gaal’s United attempt to maintain the momentum gained from last weekend’s win over QPR. The Red Devils have now served up a shut-out in each of their last two league fixtures, and with Paddy offering 11/2 on Angel di Maria to score and for the visitors to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to stick another £3 on this one.

Our final bet is kept for White Hart Lane, where Spurs are set to welcome struggling West Brom. Nacer Chadli’s strike at Sunderland took his tally to three goals in as many appearances, and with Paddy willing to offer 11/2 on the Belgian to score and Tottenham to pick up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the week and shelling out our final £4.

        Dummett hasn't played for the past couple of weeks....

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          That's what I was thinking... any word that he is due to get another chance in light of other players having failed?

          Wat does it matter? He either starts or does not play

      Bardsley, Pva, Naylor

    3. lilmessipran

      you just put them in your fpl team starting 11 if they start they might pick up points

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

        ??? uh, yeah, but you still have to pick three. The three that you think will score the most points. Dummett coming on in the 63rd to replace someone doesn't really help me much.

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

          jk mate...i'd go with bards naylor pva dummett might come in at 60+ for a 1 pointer

    I'm still on a WC so feel free to suggest an changes guys

      You're ok!

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers! Any improvements you would make?

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure about the triple Chelsea attack... I think I'd rather have Ramsey/ADM over Hazard...

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I think i'll stick with it, If I had no Arsenal or United coverage maybe id do otherwise but I think with the way I have it and the way chelsea have been so free scoring, just about any goal they score I will recieve points from

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Valid point, good luck.

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years

            you too mate, really hoping for a good week to get back on track

              Same, last week was a disaster.

              1. Nice to Finally Michu
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                Last two weeks really but a great score this GW will eradicate any memory of that

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

      haz to adm and welbeck to pelle

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks but see above, I rather like my triple CFC

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

          yup fair enough but dont think u will get a lot of points with triple chelsea with chelsea facing ars city and a really stern villa side...well u expect them to score goals just not as many esp since the results matter more than the goals scored plus ivan and terry could be in the mix as well

    4. tw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      i might start clyne over moreno or pva perhaps. tough one though

    5. KeepCalm
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      might wana add some city players
      choose who you want between haz and cesc and add silva or yaya

  3. SpicyItalian22
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Decided on Chester+Hazard> Williams+Fabregas for a -4.
    Good to go?

  4. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    City vs Chelsea predictions?

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      2-0 Blues

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      2-2

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

      3-1 City

      Kun 2 Kompany 1
      Costa 1

      1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thisssss (biased and I don't careeee)

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

      1-1

    5. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Could go either way, a huge factor is whether Yaya pitches up or not, either way my feeling is it's going to be a high scoring game! Prediction 2-3

    6. Notorious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      2-1 City.

    7. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      2-3 chelsea

  5. Voice of the Mysterons
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    For a hit would you do Welbeck to Rooney & Stirling to Chadli?
    I'm being silly arnt i?

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      dont do that

    2. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't hit that

      1. Voice of the Mysterons
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Just feel that Rooney is gonna do great

        1. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Na...Falcao gonna steal the glory

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

      Nope.

  6. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Clyne, Coloccini, Naylor ( Cahill, Wisdom)
    1.8m, 1 ft

    Which would you do?
    1. Cahill out for Rose and drop Colo to the bench.
    2. Save and go with what I have now with 2ft's next GW

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

      2

  7. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    stuck on last page: whats with the game time of McShane (hull) and McCarthy QPR. I need a few more beans for my WC team

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      McShane is Hull's 5th choice CB...

      McCarthy is the most likely of the 4m GK to start but is by no means nailed on. A start this week would be a good indication of that though.

  8. VT9
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Who should I captain out of Ramsey, Di Maria, Sterling and Falcao?

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

      Falcao if you feel punty or Sterling to play it a little safer

    2. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Falcao.

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

      Sterling.

  9. Saniul
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    TOTS according to me, so far.

    ----------------------Courtois
    ---Ivanovic---Williams---Senderos----Bertrand
    ----------Fabregas--------Schneiderlin
    ----Sterling------Sigurdsson---------Sanchéz
    ---------------------Costa

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      LOL Senderossssssssssss

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

        Pretty decent performances from him so far, especially as he plays with Hutton, Baker and Cissokho.

    2. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      TOT(10.5% of the season)

    3. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Naismith says hi 😉

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

      Is that for FPL or the real thing..

    5. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Sanch(é)z hehe

  10. Game...Blouses
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Play Dummett (HUL) or Bertrand (SWA)?

    Don't fancy a clean sheet from either but see Bertrand as a better attacking option.

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

      Bertrand.

    2. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Bertrand

    3. tw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      probably bertrand

  11. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Early morning transfer. Balo out Ade in.

    All set up with decent captain option.

    Krul

    Morene-Clyne-Duff

    Mirallas(vc)-Fabregas-Siggy-Sterling

    Costa-Adebayor(c)-Falcao

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      could be genius, could be a disaster.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Hope its the first one. Need a boost or I can forget about improving my last year 5K rank.

  12. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Will be interesting to see how United set up with Falcao starting..

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

      Falcao would anyway start up front, interesting to see whether Rooney or Falcao

  13. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Start Forster or McCarthy?

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

      Definitely Forster

    2. Notorious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Forster.

    3. tw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      forster probably

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

      Start McCarthy imo, if he doesn't play Forster will anyway come on.

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

        Is there any chance he'll start?

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

          Yes there is a chance

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

    Wildcard week. Faced with the last option:

    A) Ivanovic + Pelle
    B) Naylor + Rooney

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

      Like A

    2. tw

      B

    3. Lord Flashheart

      B

    4. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      A- with Baines this week then Ivan next week

  15. Curly619
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    2.7 in the bank and 1 FT

    Is Chester - Duff leaving my defence to weak ?

    I don't like Baines involvement besides his set pieces.
    Ivanovic has City,Arsenal,Man Utd,Liverpool every second game for 8 weeks.
    So not sure if i want a big hitter ?

    Begovic

    Clyne Chester PVA

    Hazard Ramsay Eriksen Siggy

    Costa Rooney Naismith
    --------------------------------------------
    Gilks Henderson Ward Moore

    Any ideas on what i should plan for ? Hendo - Marney/Cork ?

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

      Not doing Chester to duff leaves your defence weak.

      1. Curly619
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        So you think i should do it ?

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

          Yes

    2. Pied Mee Ince Silva
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Duff is a good shout, brought him in myself this week. 🙂

      1. Curly619
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Or is Chambers better ? Duff frees up .4

  16. VT9
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Should I start Naismith over someone like Siggy? Below is my team:

    Krul
    Lovren - Clyne - Naylor
    Siggy - Ramsey - Sterling - Di Maria - Tadic
    Costa - Falcao

    Is Siggy the best choice for the swap, or someone else?

    Cheers!!

    1. Pied Mee Ince Silva
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'd swap Tadic out if I was you.

      Naismith and Siggy both being at home and with more points on the board look like better options.

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

      Bench tadic probably

  17. tw
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    1) bring in welbeck or pelle
    2) rooney or costa (c)?
    3) bench 1 from terry ferdinand naylor

    1. LewanGOALski

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

      1) Pelle
      2) Rooney
      3) Terry

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

      1 none this week
      2 pigman
      3 terry

      1. tw

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

          Ah..
          Pelle then and welbeck in three weeks

    4. Pied Mee Ince Silva
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I agree with Juan Carlos, Terry might be tempting to bench but he could to nab a goal from a corner in a big game.

    5. Arrow Marked Drogba
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      1) Pelle-no reason why he can't score against swans plus qpr next week is delicious
      2) Rooney
      3) pick straws

  18. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Goodnight guys, good luck

  19. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Bench:

    Clyne (swa)
    or
    PvA (bur)
    ??

    1. tw
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      clyne

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

      Clyne

    3. Pied Mee Ince Silva
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Clyne, a toothless Burnley gives PvA more of a chance of a clean sheet.

  20. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Best move pls? thx

    1.keep ft

    1. tw

      3 perhaps

    2. Pied Mee Ince Silva
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      1, Balo and Lamela could find themselves among the points this week.

    3. Total Foot 5 - romario 11

      keeping then.balo makes it thrill

  21. Scab
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I Think Ive sorted out my WC Team

    Although it is a bit back heavy:

    ----------------Forster------------------

    Baines, Ivan, Hutton, Moore, Duff

    Sterling, Siggy, Fab, Chadli, Boyd

    -----Costa, Aguero , Pelle --------

    Thoughts? May be insane to have ivan and Baines but stats say otherwise

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

      Pelle and Ivan could be swapped out for Rooney and Naylor I guess

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

      Looks a very decent team with both Baines and Ivan included. It also gives you the flexibility to lose one of your heavy defenders and upgrade you 4th mid or 3rd striker in future.

      I kinda like it. Go for it I'd say..

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

        Yeah its what I like about it is the exit strategy is pretty straight forward, thanks!
