We’re backing City’s veteran midfielder to deliver in this week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy. With a tenner in hand, we also place our faith in the Hammers’ top scorer at home to Leicester, whilst a move up front bring Liverpool’s young starlet back on the radar.

Our first stop is at the Etihad, then, as the champions prepare for the visit of Palace. Frank Lampard took his tally to four strikes in just 298 minutes with the winner in last week’s victory at Leicester and his eye for goal could be key as Manuel Pellegrini looks to roll out a striker-less system to deal with the injury crisis. With Paddy offering 10/3 on Lampard to score and City to keep a clean sheet against Palace, we’re more than willing to take a punt and part with £3 for this one.

Up next, we move to Upton Park as West Ham prepare for the visit of Leicester. Diafra Sakho has scored in four of his five home appearances in the league and, with five wins and a draw in the last six in front of their own fans, Big Sam’s side look likely victors here. Paddy are prepared to offer 12/1 on Sakho to score two or more and the Hammers to register a clean sheet and we’re making this our bet of the week, with a further £4 shelled out.

Finally, we switch to Anfield as Liverpool and Arsenal go head-to-head. Shifted into a central role up front in each of the last two matches, Raheem Sterling posed United plenty of problems in the final third before bagging a brace at Bournemouth on Wednesday evening. The youngster’s confidence will be on the up for this one and with odds of 11/1 on a Sterling goal and Liverpool clean sheet, our final £3 goes Paddy’s way.

    Good to Go ?

    -------------------------- Guzan
    --------------- Baines - Clyne - Yun
    Sanchez - Hazard - Y.Toure (c) - Eriksen - Downing
    ---------------------- Costa - Bony

    Sub: Kane, Naylor, Moore

    1. tomfiend
      11 years, 10 months ago

      kane could hurt you on the bench.

      1. NATSTER
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Who should I bench instead ?

  2. keotes
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Which is a better transfer:
    A) Duff -> Zab
    B) Boyd -> Erikssen
    C) Boyd -> Nasri/Silva

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team

    2. Phaze 1
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C-silva

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C looks good in the absence of other info

  3. keotes
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Who to captain?

    A) Erikssen
    B) Costa
    C) Austin
    D) Bony

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I like d as an option

    2. NATSTER
      11 years, 10 months ago

      C A B D

      By this order for me.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Bony

    4. Jafalad
      11 years, 10 months ago

      A with the form he's in although Yaya's the ticket this week.

    5. Jazzmattazz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure about Bony today mate. 4 shots on target in away games all season.

  4. Phaze 1
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Which move would you guys prefer please?

    1) Siggy --> Eriksen

    2) Siggy --> Downing

    3) Boyd --> Downing and bench Siggy

    1. Jafalad
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I've done 1 this week if it helps.

  5. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I just want to be in top 2 mil for this gameweek.
    Austin c a good idea over sanchez?

    1. Phaze 1
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yes

    2. Jafalad
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Top 2 mill? Jeez. Aim a lot higher, man. 🙁

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 10 months ago

        It's for cup qualification 😉

        1. Jafalad
          11 years, 10 months ago

          More cheek 😡 😉

  6. Amateur Pundit Zan
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Will ask this again to a different crowd

    Silva or nasri?

    1. Delhidynamo
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nasri. He goes insane when he hits a purple patch

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      11 years, 10 months ago

      nasri imo

    3. Jafalad
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Both the same. If Nasri plays upfront, no brainer. Otherwise, Silva.

  7. Delhidynamo
    11 years, 10 months ago

    All those captaining RVP or getting Evans

    Guzan and Benteke

    Remember those names

    1. Acquafresca
      11 years, 10 months ago

      ?

      1. Delhidynamo
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Feeling good about them

        brace and pen saveish

  8. Lallana_
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Going to be boring and do Costa (C) with Sanchez (v)
    Costa likely to start?

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Costa 99% to start, away at Stoke has a yellow card written all over it though

      1. Lallana_
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah can see him getting a yellow card. Hmm...such a hard choice picking a captain

    2. Jafalad
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Nothing boring with cap'n'n'n'n'n'g a player at STK. :rolls:

  9. Beautiful Game
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Would you do:

    Benteke + Siggy -> Sakho + Eriksen? for -4?

    How many gamewks will Sakho start among the next 6?

  10. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Panti
    Cresswell / Clyne / Trippier
    Sanchez / Yaya / Hazard / Eriksen
    Costa / Austin / Sakho

    Elliot / Siggy / Wilson / Hutton
    1 FT / 0.6M in bank

    Thinking of switching Trippier to Debuchy or Naylor for free? Anything else you would rather do with this lot? 🙂

    1. Les Bleus
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Trippier to a City defender if you can.

      1. milanista10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Can't afford that. Leaning towards one of Debuchy or Naylor or Bavies right now

  11. That Fantasy Guy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Does this look like top 2 mil for this week material?

    Hart
    Azpilicueta Baines clyne
    Sanchez hazard Downing sigurdson
    Rooney kane Austin (c)

    1. emperikal
      11 years, 10 months ago

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 10 months ago

        1. emperikal

      1. Delhidynamo
        11 years, 10 months ago

    5. Jafalad

  13. Who Ate All Depays?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Guys, would you make any changes to this team or am I gtg?

    Guzan
    Baines / Azpi / Yun
    Sanchez / Haz / Yaya / Siggy / Downing
    Bony / Austin (c)
    (Mccarthy / Lukaku / Wisdom / Saylor)

    1 FT & 0.9m itb

    1. emperikal
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I predict some points left on your bench this week but hard to fault your decisions

      1. emperikal
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I'd personally play Lukaku over Siggy I think

        1. Who Ate All Depays?
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 10 months ago

          but he was terrible last game

    2. Transient Anus
      11 years, 10 months ago

      gtg

  14. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Points prediction for Austin tomorrow?

    I say 2, 90 minutes played.

    1. emperikal
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I would like this very much + Foster CS + Penalty Save from Austin 😉

      1. Acquafresca
        11 years, 10 months ago

        😀

    2. Acquafresca
      11 years, 10 months ago

      If you think Lukaku will outscore him, start him. Simple.

      1. money face bandwagon
        11 years, 10 months ago

      A

    4. tw
      11 years, 10 months ago

      between Austin Sanchez and RVP imo

    5. Vamos Los Celeste
      11 years, 10 months ago

      i hate giving the armband for united players lol but okay RVP is my C this gw
      thx guys

    6. Jafalad
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Question of the week.

      Austin out of that lot.

      1. Vamos Los Celeste
        11 years, 10 months ago

        i see that it will be a low score game Jafalad , max the 9 points for charlie , what do u think ?

        1. Jafalad
          11 years, 10 months ago

          He'll score as he's a flat track bully. Yaya for me though.

  17. samaael
    11 years, 10 months ago

    G2g?

    Adrian
    Dummett- wisdom- azpilicueta
    Hazard- Sanchez - erikson c- downing
    Rooney- benteke- bony

    Xx- sigurdsson- chambers- duff

    No ft no hits taken yet

    1. Sooda
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Good team, good midf... Benteke is an intriguing one

      1. samaael
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks mate

    2. tw
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I might start chambers over dummett

      but good to go

      1. samaael
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah chambers might be a good option. Should play cb. I personally think toon will keep clean sheet with tiote and saylor back

        1. tw
          11 years, 10 months ago

          just remember who they've got in goal
          and it's a derby game

  18. Skipdipper
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Guzan
    Baines Naylor azpi
    Siggy downing Sanchez hazard
    Rooney (c) Austin Costa

    xx dummett chambers wanyama

    Good to go?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      11 years, 10 months ago

      yes sir

      1. Skipdipper
        11 years, 10 months ago

        No idea who to captain. Rooney was drawn out the hat 🙂

    2. tw
      11 years, 10 months ago

      maybe chambers first sub
      rest looks good

      1. Skipdipper
        11 years, 10 months ago

        True. Derby games always goals... Sterling might not have his shooting boots on

    3. samaael
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I personally think toon will keep clean sheet

      1. Skipdipper
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Would you start dummett over Naylor?

        1. samaael
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Hmmm probably not actually 🙂

      2. tw
        11 years, 10 months ago

        who do they even have playing gk?

  19. Sooda
    11 years, 10 months ago

    My FT this week was Dzeko > Bony

    I am thinking I should have done Siggy to Silva or Nasri instead, with one of them likely to be that false no 9

    Have only got Yaya as ManC cover

    Team:

    Foster - Bertrand, Yun, Bartley - Sterling, Downing, Fabregas, Yaya T (c) - Bony, Costa, Austin

    Bench: Krul, Siggy, Wisdom, Hutton

    1. samaael
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I got no city cover and I'm not worried

      1. Sooda
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yes, I guess your midfield is pretty sick with some in form midfielders, shouldnt miss Yaya

      2. Sooda
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I knew I should have got Silva in. Now Bony not starting too. ARGH

    2. tw
      11 years, 10 months ago

      wouldn't worry too much about city cover

      1. Skipdipper
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Makes me feel better

      2. Sooda
        11 years, 10 months ago

        cheers... just worried about their attacking midfielders chipping in with some goals, I guess I do have Yaya

      3. Sooda
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I knew I should have got Silva in. Now Bony not starting too. ARGH

    3. emperikal
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Only YYT? I have no City cover at all 😆 Going to wait and see how they lineup before making a decision

      1. Skipdipper
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Same. Tempted nasri if were punting this week

      2. Sooda
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I knew I should have got Silva in. Now Bony not starting too. ARGH

    4. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      in fact i think 2 city mid is a slight risk right now...would wait for a gw or 2

      1. Sooda
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Hmm... thanks, makes me feel better!

    5. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      You made a good transfer. Injured player out, form player in

      1. Sooda
        11 years, 10 months ago

    11 years, 10 months ago

    Heaton
    Ivan Coleman Kolarov
    Cazorla Siggy Fabregas Hazard Yaya (c)
    Kane Giroud
    Gilks Wisdom Lambert Hutton

    Really want to punt on Kol cap but too scared of 1pt cameo

    Heaton to Pants worh -4 or will save points keep Heaton ticking along?

    1. Skipdipper
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Save

    2. Sooda
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Stick with the GKs... but I would consider upgrading your front line... (thought that heavy weight midf compensates for it now) Lambert to Austin or Sakho and bench Cazorla would make it better IMO... even downgrade Cazorla so you can do Lambert> Bony or something next week

      1. Rhinos
        11 years, 10 months ago

        agree Lambert need sorting but aint dropping cazorla any time soon

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      11 years, 10 months ago

      looks good as it is 🙂

    4. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      put aside save points which is hard to predict btw panti n heaton, u need a cs or more from panti as GK seldom gets bonus points..3 away game coming so i do not think panti is not worth -4..

      i might consider doing it for Mcgregor or green which has 3 home games in the next 4. i have heaton too.

      1. Rhinos

      1. Izross
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Have little faith in Everton against Southampton...who would you rather bench for the two?

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard or Downing for captain?

    Don't trust Yaya enough to cap him just yet.

    1. Acquafresca
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Haz of those 2.

      1. Acquafresca
        11 years, 10 months ago

        stick to your guns.

    2. Jafalad
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Downing but ignore Yoyo at your peril. 😕

    3. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 10 months ago

      haha then y would u pay 10.8m for someone u do not really trust?

      good luck for haz/downing but i still think yaya is the better option there.
