Our quest to get the better of Paddy sees us turn to a couple of in-form budget Fantasy forwards, whilst Chelsea’s former Gunners skipper also comes into consideration as the two go head-to-head at the Bridge on Sunday afternoon.

Leicester’s home encounter with Burnley brings Leonardo Ulloa onto our radar. The Argentine has netted in every match in front of his own supporters in the league, and with Paddy willing to offer 16/1 on Ulloa to score two or more and the Foxes to keep out their opponents, we’re willing to fork out £3, bearing in mind that Burnley have failed to score in the last five Gameweeks.

Next up is Upton Park, where the Hammers’ Diafra Sakho is looking to score for the fifth successive match in all competitions. Paddy are offering 25/1 for the Senegal star to score two or more and West Ham to register a clean sheet – with the R’s scoring just once in three road trips, we shell out £3 for the Sunday afternoon encounter.

Our bet of the week is kept for Stamford Bridge, where league leaders Chelsea play host to Arsenal. Paddy are offering 7/1 on Cesc Fabregas to score and the Blues to register a clean sheet – we reckon the Spaniard could follow the recent exploits of Frank Lampard and come back to haunt his former club ,so hand over our remaining £4.

    Captain choice is so important this week, i'm really struggling, ADM right now, Will Arsenal keep Costa quiet? Sterling? Siggy? Ulloa?! Arrgghhhhh!

    1. v12w12
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Siggy!!

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      My armband is right now on Siggy. Think that's my decision. NUFC have been dreadful.

  2. Pap Le Cissier

    Villa are minus Vlaar today right?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Not definite. He a "big doubt"

    2. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      yep

  3. Gatsby
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one

    A) Pelle
    B) Ulloa
    C) Siggy
    D) Sterling
    E) ADM

    1. Limbo

      Rest of your team much be ace!

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

        Fabregas,Costa,Silva

        i shouldn't have given myself this headache but i did!

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

          If I HAD to pick it'd be ulloa. I think Leicester could start to faulter. I fancy Saints to do well in front of Pochettino - they'll be fired up so not on board with those benching Pelle.

    2. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Pelle! That's a strong team you must have!

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

        Cheers, gonna have to go with that, siggy (C) too!

    Please tell me that Welbeck to Aguero and Terry to Naylor is madness, isn't it... Tempted to do it for this week and probably wildcard on international break to get all the right players I want.... Opinions? Thanks!

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

      If you weren't wildcarding straight after, then the Welbeck move seems silly, the Terry to Naylor is OK.

    Ramsey to Tadic?

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

      Yeah, that's what I did.

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      That's one option

  7. bowtimer62
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Decisions decisions!

    Mannone
    moore, bertrand, PvA
    Siggy, Sterling, Fab, ADM
    Costa (c), Pelle, Welb

    Tadic currently on bench. Want to play Tadic but can't decide who to drop.

    Advice please!
    Thanks

    1. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Correct to bench Tadic.

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

      Welbs?

    3. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Drop Welb surely. Chelsea are very tight against top teams.

      1. bowtimer62
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Leaning towards Welb too but my judgement's been a bit off lately!

  8. QWOP
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Begovic 4.0
    Bertrand Wilson Hutton PVA Naylor

    Improvements to this defence with .5m in bank?

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

      Wisdom, not Wilson.

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Fine for now. Wilson / Begovic is only concern. One or other. Maybe look to upgrade Wilson soon.

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

        Oh, Carry on then 🙂

  9. Salfpilgrimlfc
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Currently falcao (c) debating aguero also have costa thoughts ahhhhhhhhhh

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I bet you change it...

  10. Arvin-ation

    Get on the Lampard bus before it's too late!!

    http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/6159/

    Have a look at that. Ignore the title, it's a table for the past 3 GWs. Check out number 6 on the list.

    All the GWs Lampard has been involved in. Lamps has only played a total of 77 minutes in those 3 GWs. So 77/180, compared to the rest on the table who've played the full amount. 1/3rd of the time to do the damage and he compares very very well with the rest. It's pretty amazing. Check em out. Cmmnd/Ctrl Find Lampard then sort by each column. In particular, Chances from open play, Shots in the box, and Big Chances.

    Lampard - 0.047 SiB/minute ---- 14.2 minutes per chance ---- 42.5 mins per goal

    Costa ----- 0.041 SiB/minute-----19.9 minutes per chance ----- 59.8 mins per goal
    Pelle -------0.041 SiB/minute-----20.4 minutes per chance -----95.3 mins per goal

      Thats it mate, the internet police are coming.

        • 12 Years

        🙁

    2. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Do you Arvin, was about to make my transfers then you post this! 😉

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

        🙂 What transfers are you thinking of mate?

        1. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Either Sterling or Silva for Ramsey and Sakho or Aguero for Rooney. Money no object

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

            Prefer Sterling to Silva, and Sakho for this week(or 2), Aguero looks good too though. Is ee your problem!

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

      Another interesting one. Compare Siggy and Lampard in the above table.

    4. FantaCity
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      That's uncanny, I've just come back from checking on him as a poss. punt - the price is so appealing

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

        Indeed! Only 5.4m and already 2 goals in 3 games, with minimal minutes.

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Did you get Lampard then? Put your money where your mouth is! 😉

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

        I would! If I didn't have to take a hit 😕 Would be straight in otherwise.

        Comes straight in next week for Siggy if he doesn't show again.

    6. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Been thinking about this all week for my FT.

  11. Mulder
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    I stepped in puke at the train station

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

      A sign ?

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

    Thoughts on this WC before I settle it for good?

    Forster Schmeical
    Bertrand Baines Naylor Moore Duff
    Di Maria Sterling Siggy Downing Boyd
    Costa Ulloa Aguero

    Enough left in the bank to do Ulloa > Welbeck next week

    1. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Downing won't be as affective now that Nolan is back?

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

        😆

    2. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I'd get Welbeck with your WC, he's looking likely to rise in price and having a FT for the international break could be very helpful

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

        this!

  13. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Who to start, Bertrand or Duff?

    1. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Bert for attacking points.

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

        +1

      Cheers fellas

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

    Aguero on pens, right?

    Anyone know how many pens City got last season?

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

      A lot. Yaya had about eight.

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

        Reason to c Aguero over Costa, hmm

    2. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah. He took it in the champions league

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

      7. Aguero had 1 missed

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Morning guys, just woke up, has there been any news on Balotelli's starting prospects today? Might need to ship him out for -4.

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

      I've checked various predicted lineups and all are saying he will start.

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

        Interesting, cheers.

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

      He's supposedly been dropped for Lambert.

      Demi even posted it, well a link to it. Up to you to ship, but I'd do it.

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Rodgers has just said that he basically bought Balotelli because that was all was available for the price. It doesn't look good!

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

        I only have 10.9 for a replacement. Have Pelle and Costa. Who would you recommend? Falcao?

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

          I might get Dzeko. But i'll be changing to Sturridge GW8.

        2. MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Hmm, Falcao is a good option. Welbeck is the other one I guess but not a great fixture this week.

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

        Haha! I love the idea of his searching 'forwards' and filtering by price 🙂

  16. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Really starting to have doubts about Silva (C), everyone seems to be going with Costa and I'm worried I could lose ground... any thoughts?

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

      Captain the safe pick so as not to lose ground and your diffs will move you up anyway if they perform

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        ^This.

    2. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      If Costa does well you'll lose ground.

      If Silva does well you'll gain

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

        If Silva does well you'll gain whether or not you captain him - so captain Costa

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

      Costa is a fantastic player, and he could score heavily even against Arsenal. More likely is 5-8pts

    4. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Decided to bite the bullet and switch to Costa (C), wanted a safe bet to stay top of my minileagues

  17. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Is Ramsey price protected as he is injured ?

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

      no

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

      No

  18. Magic Box
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys!

    Used my WC this week and really don't want to mess this up, could you RMT please?

    Bego (Mannone)

    Baines Clyne Naylor (PvA Moore)

    Fab Sterling ADM Siggy (Wanyama)

    Costa Pelle Welbeck

    Thanks! Its mostly my GK/Def I'm not too sure about 😀

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

      Very good team.. Maybe Chambers in for PVA, sunderland fixtures get tough after this and Chambers get easy fixtures.

  19. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    costa playing guys?

    1. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I would assume so!

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      If you believe Jose, yes

  20. Pap Le Cissier
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Okay, given the answers on the previous page, plus the fact I have Downing and no Liverpool or City players, it's got to be Sterling and Aguero?

    Sound logic?

    1. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I brought those two in this week.

      1. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers MJ

  21. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 15 Years

    One GW only....

    Falcao or Dzeko - worried about Dzeko gametime?

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

      Falcao

  22. QWOP
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Why are so many people getting Baines? Worst defence in Europe(may have changed since I heard that, but still). I know he gets attacking points but surely not enough for the second most expensive defender in the game?

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

      I got him 3 weeks ago and I can't not see him being a mainstay in my team - as most say, he really is like a (good) midfielder with the hope of clean sheets thrown in.

    2. FPL Notebook (John)
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I'm considering him a 6.9M midfielder. A stream of goals and assists, with the bonus of clean sheet points

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

        *7.0m

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Sentimental reasons

    4. frodos82
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      He´s one of the most consistent players in the game who is hardly ever injured, scored 796 points last 5 seasons averaging 159.2 points a season. With Baines you know what you get. For 7.0 I think his scoring can be labelled good value!

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

    How much do we trust the RMT thingy? If we trust it, I will captain Costa.

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

      I don't, tbh.

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

        Buggerations... Who's your (C) Arvin (and who're your other 'viable' choices)?

  24. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    I need 4 of the following, or 2 of the following 3... which do you suggest?

    Sigurdsson / Fabregas / Sterling / Chadli / Di Maria

    Costa / Aguero / Ulloa

    Am thinking of dropping Sterling, given Liverpool's current form, but Spurs could be in for a Europa hangover..

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Really, I just need to pick 6 of the 7, but dropping one is difficult.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Bench Chadli is what i'd do

      1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework

        I just brought Chadli in for Ramsey, but I can see your point. Blurgh.. should have never given myself this dilemma.

          I made the a mistake to and got Özil in for Ramsey so now i "have" to play him away at Chelsea but hey it is for the best in the long run

    My current squad for GW7, need last minute improvements? Got 0FT and £3.6m spare. On 334 points so far.

    Mannone (De Gea)
    Bertrand - Ivanovic - Clyne - (Wisdom, Cameron)
    Di Maria - Siggurdson - Sterling - Sadio Mane (Moses)
    Costa - Welbeck - Naismith

    Also who should my captain be for GW7? Many thanks in advance.

    Also still got my wildcard if that helps.

        Do you fancy Shaw (vs EVE) over Bertrand (vs tot)?

    Anyone going with Siggy as captain?

      If I had him, I would. No question

        So he's surely worth a transfer or 4pt hit then. Sometimes think these types of replies are trolling but you can't tell sarcasm in text 🙄

      I am. Hope i don't bottle it last minute. Logic says he's a great captain pick, just need a little luck now.

        Looks good, Sarnab. I'm not captaining Siggy, but you always get the captain choice right, so who am I to argue with you? 🙂

        Just playing the odds. You know he's not playing on the wing now, right?
