The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 9

This week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy sees us call upon the services of West Brom’s young goal hero, while we also turn to the Tottenham and Everton midfields ahead of clashes with Newcastle and Burnley respectively.

West Brom’s home encounter with Crystal Palace brings Saido Berahino into our thoughts this week. The youngster’s goal against Man United last Monday took his tally to five strikes in four appearances at The Hawthorns this season, and with the Eagles set to be without both their first-choice centre-halves this weekend, he looks poised to get amongst the goals once again. Paddy are offering a hefty 18/1 on Berahino to score twice and the Baggies to keep out their opponents and we’re willing to shell out £3 for this one.

Next up, we head to the Lane, where Tottenham prepare to take on Newcastle. We’re backing the in-form Christian Eriksen as Spurs look to recover from their Etihad mauling – the Dane has scored three times in the last five, and with Paddy prepared to offer 8/1 on Eriksen to score and the hosts to chalk up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the week and hand over £4.

Finally, we place our faith in fit-again Ross Barkley as Everton roll up to Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon. As the treatment room empties, the Toffees are starting to find their domestic form and face a Clarets side that have leaked nine goals in their last three. Paddy are offering 8/1 on Barkley to score and an Everton clean sheet and we’re convinced enough to part company with our final £3.

    worth a hit:
    A. Nais to Welbeck
    B. Cahill to Chambers (for more transfer flexibility next —and following— week)?

        I know he's better but it would free up some cash and I need to do something with my FT

      1. Skipdipper
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Tempted but am kind of thinking "surely just one time Liverpool can keep a clean sheet!"

        1. skodaole2

          No, they cant. And not vs Hull. They always score

    2. kalmoffit

      Hardly a punt with Everton's schedule.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Worth it this week tho for - 4 or play Wilson or duff

  8. emperikal
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ahh! I just prepared myself a nice little area behind the couch where I'll be spending most of my time watching Aguero tomorrow. Oh how I'd love for West Ham to pull a Stoke

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Seems daft to watch a game and hope for no goals

      1. emperikal
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'll take goals from anyone not named Sergio, Kun or Aguero 😉

      2. emperikal
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        And if Costa doesn't show then I have Downing playing. I'll take a hat trick from him gladly

        1. kalmoffit
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Your hopes should be realistic

    3. skodaole2

      None of them.

  10. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Any point wasting a transfer on bego to guzan (other keeper is McCarthy) or not to bother?

    1. ralfb

      9 years, 8 months ago

      Dont bother

      1. Lord Flashheart

        Cheers

    2. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Bego. Both will probably concede, no point losing a transfer if you can save it.

  11. Fantasypete

    berahino or shako??

    Any suggestions for my WC team?

    1. skodaole2

      Change PvA, you wont use him until Jan WC

      1. Nobodinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Any good choices?

    2. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd have Haz over Fab (unless you got Fab very early on so you caught all of his rises), I'd also go for Chambers over PvA for sure but other than that it looks very good from here

      1. skodaole2
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This

      2. Nobodinho

        A

    • bob500
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lads cant decide if I should get Pelle or Lukaku in my lineup? It seems like it should be Pelle but I have this gut feeling that Lukaku might have a good goal scoring run coming up. Any thoughts?

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 8 months ago

          50-50 go with your gut

        • ⁀⋎⁀⋎⁀⚽
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Lukaku very inconsistent imo...

        • kalmoffit
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I haven't seen much of Pelle. But his transformation from carthorse to must have striker has me confused.

      2. joinho
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        8 point hit taken and ready to go, I'm keeping Costa.

        Forster (Myhill)
        Clyne, Baines, Taylor (Coloccini) (Senderos)
        Di María, Sigurdsson, Boyd, Sterling (Zaha)
        Aguero, Pelle, Costa

        1. joinho

            What transfers did u do for -8 ?

            1. joinho
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Moreno (out) – Baines (in)
              Falcao (out) – Pelle (in)
              Ulloa (out) – Aguero (in)
              Fabregas (out) Boyd (in)

              1. Jay_
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  Decent but would have been good if you got rid of Costa instead of Falcao, hope Aguero makes it up for you , good luck

                The unsolvable benching problem:

                Fabregas, sterling, tadic, siggy, chadli

                  I'd bench Fabregas fromt that lot.

                    Can you please tell me this - I don't have chadli - I have Miralas and thinking of bringing chadli - but with this benching problem, should I save transfer or do it and bench fab?

                Everton fans

                should I get Costa> Lukaku, (-4) because while I like the fixture Naismith won't play now that Barkley is in the mix?

                Figure to just switch back to Costa for QPR if he plays, if not could do worse than be stuck w/Lukaku. Thx

                  I wouldn't . too inconsistent. He needs a goal or 2 to get some confidence. The only Everton players I would consider r baines, Coleman, jags.
                  ATM considering -4 for Wilson > Coleman and then I'd have Baines and Coleman.

                  Naismith can play anywhere in evertons front 4 and was rested midweek.
                  If Barkley starts Naismith will be pushed wide with licence to drift in.
                  If Barkley is on the bench Nais will be behind Lukaku. Imo

                ok guys have been agonising over this all week

                1) Chadli this week means I can have Hazard next week

                2) Eriksen this week means I can get Oscar next week

                Waddya reckon?

                    Oscar looks a very good under the radar option though.

                  Oscar will never be as good as Hazard

                    Generally agree Kalmoffit but form wise Oscar looks very promising and Hazard although highly explosive does need a lot of patience.
