We go head-to-head with Paddy once again this Gameweek and place our faith in a trio of in-form players with tasty looking fixtures on their Boxing Day menus. Arsenal’s resurgent frontman, Man City’s little magician and Tottenham’s Danish maestro are all called upon in our bid for a Merry Christmas.

Our first port of call is the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal face a QPR side that have lost every away match this season and scored just three times on their travels. Four goals in six appearances since returning to injury brings Olivier Giroud into contention for this one, and despite the form of Charlie Austin, we’re going to back the hosts to win this one comfortably – with Paddy offering 13/2 on Giroud to score two or more and Arsene Wenger’s side to collect a clean sheet, we’re shelling out £3 on this one.

Next up we head to the Hawthorns as West Brom host champions City. The odds are on Manuel Pellegrini’s side to deliver at both ends of the pitch in the Midlands match – they’re looking for a seventh straight win here and have conceded just a single goal in five. Paddy are willing to offer 11/2 on David Silva to score and City to earn clean sheet and we’re backing the little Spaniard to get amongst the goals once again – we part company with another £3.

Our final cash is splashed on Tottenham’s trip to struggling Leicester. Christian Eriksen’s sparkling form looks too good to ignore here – the Dane has scored in two of his last three away appearances, with only Chelsea keeping him at bay. With Paddy prepared to offer 8/1 on Eriksen to score and the north London outfit to keep out their hosts, we make this our bet of the week and hand over our final £4.

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      only reason i can think of is if you dont like points

    2. 32chickens

    3. Kerrazy

    4. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years

  9. Messien
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bring in Giroud or Bony?

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years

      context please

      1. Messien
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Was thinking lunch.

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          if its a main meal bony looks hungrier
          giroud would be a bit picky,not sure he'd be good at conversation
          bony looks up for a bit of banter-good house guest

          bony it is

      2. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        We are in a fantasy football forum so breakfast seems unlikely.

        But if you did mean breakfast then get bony in because i wouldnt leave giroud in the room with your wife

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          making the decisions based on the wife-thats a new one but i'll give it a whirl
          -think she'd enjoy watching bony play ,generally think he'd be more fun company

          bony again
          next category please

    3. lightspeed
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Giroud for the fixture.

  10. yer old da
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Swap Clyne for Zaba this week, or roll the transfer forward to next week?

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      roll

  11. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Are all those bets so ludicrous they couldn't even be bothererd printing the odds?

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      they usually are ludicrous

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      The clean sheet part of the bet always ruins them

  12. @FPLMason
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    If you had Hazard, Bony, Costa and Sanchez, who'd you give the armband to?

    1. PGR
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I have all 4 too and I've gone with Costa

    2. Rhinos

    Shock result this week

    Weat ham to give Chelsea a battering

    Had two days extra rest, and more than capable,

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They could do, but I see a cagey 2 nil win for the Blues.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Do you see Hazard scoring?

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Err, not sure.

          Costa I saying willingly 😆

      2. Tim Canterbury
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Annoys me how when Chelsea are cagey the media call Mourinho a genius. When it's a lesser team it's seen as negative

    2. Billy Ketsu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That would be the best possible Christmas present....

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fair play to Big Sam. Never saw them doing this well and in an attacking manner too!

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        And sam looks the one most suprised......
        Naw,can't see a win against chelski....

    4. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Cant see it happening at the bridge myself but i guess we will find out how clairvoyant you are in a few hours time

  16. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Morning.

    Help a fella out, with this lot please....

    Guzan
    Taylor, Azpi, Chambers
    Eriksen, Sanchez, Siggy, Fab
    RVP, Costa, Kane.

    Subs: Boyd, Wisdom, McNair, Gilks.
    £1.7m in bank, 1 transfer.

    Any ideas?

    Save the transfer?

    Bring in a City Defender, or maybe Davies for McNair?

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Save

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      City defender or Sunderland defender for McNair? Front 8 looks solid.

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not save and reasses?

        I could get Mangala for McNair this week, but then have a ... Who to bench problem.

        May just wait.

        do you think rvp will be dropped?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Well there are rumours around Chambers and Sanchez being rested, and another random benching or two isn't out of the question. Your bench looks pretty thin especially with Wisdom facing City... But I can see the value in saving, which is probably the best option on second thoughts.

          I'm pretty sure RVP will start, although I haven't really been following him/United lately...

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looks strong for this week, save

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      id save then chambers to kolarov next gw, that ll be fun 🙂

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        😯

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          im capping him v burnley assuming Clichy starts today

        2. Twelve years a slave
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Save. RVP captain?

          He could get you right back ipup there with a hattrick, not impossible

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks Trig,

            I'm on him at the moment, but a little worried of him being benched.

            Obvious choice seems Sanchez though, don't you think ?

            1. Opta out
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              He was taken off after an hour last game, so it's safe to assume he'll start this one.

    5. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      McNair to Hutton? Gives you a bench guy for this week incase of Rotation and looks good for a couple of games after that.

    6. tw
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i'd bring in a city defender

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Now, or hold ?

  17. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard going to play??

  18. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bony (C); Sanchez (vc); Hazard

    Good to go lads?

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm still stuck on Bony vs Sanchez, any reason not to go with Sanchez?

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure if he'll start with Wenger possibly wanting him to rest him before the West Ham game on Sunday?

        1. MMN
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If he doesn't start that's not a problem, but do you see him coming off the bench at the end?

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, sorry, I meant he may make a 20min cameo

  19. Gregor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Trade Costa for RVP/Bony.

    Or

    Keep Costa and save a transfer.

    1. PGR
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keep

  20. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Costa captain. Fingers crossed!

  21. DameCorp
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Adrian
    Baines, Clyne, Chambers
    Haz, Yaya, Downing, Sig
    Costa, Roon, Austin

    4.0, Boyd, Duff, Wisdom

    2FT

    Thinking, Chambers & Roon to Zab and Bony (C)

    Too risky considering AFCON and rotation?

  22. Kurtinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Going Sanchez (c) and Rooney (vc). Need a safe choice as vc in case Sanchez gets rested.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Giroud Bony Hazard Yaya

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney my vc for the same reason. Will most likely captain haz over sanchez though not 100% sure yet

    3. PGR
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm worried Sanchez might come off the bench for a 1 pointer. Thats whats keeping me from handing him the armband

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Surely the same would apply to Hazard?

        1. PGR
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Thats why I'm currently on Costa

      2. Kurtinho
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez should only come on if they need a goal. If that the case, he should get at least 30mins, and I trust him to return if thats the case.

  23. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Guys plz I have 2 FT so what do u think ?

    Costa > Giroud I want to do that
    Sakho> Bony / Bentke or Kane

    I have Austin BTW
    I want Bony but I have Soggy & Naylor so get 3Players from Swansa is right ?

  24. Outatime
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Gtg? Who to captain?

    Pantilimon
    Clyne - Baines - Taylor
    Siggy - Downing - Yaya - Sanchez
    Bony - Rooney - Austin

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Captain Yaya

  25. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ok going dull and captaining costa. Siggy vice.

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Far from dull these days

  26. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one: Chambers, Taylor, Clyne

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who to play: Milner (Away to WBA) or Downing (Away to CHL)???

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Taylor imo

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Tough. I'm benching Clyne, but many think Chambers won't start today.

      im tempted to also for security of minutes, but fellaini's absence and di maria back would mean rooney even further behind. gonna be tough watching rvp/falcao/mata/di maria roll in the points while rooney assists the assist from midfield

    Haven't RMTed in a while so what do you think?

    Guzan (Foster)

    Baines Clichy Dummett (Wisdom, Moore)

    Hazard (c) Sanchez Siggy Yaya (vc) (Downing)

    RVP Kane Austin

    Defence is probably my number one concern. What are the chances of Clichy playing? Or bring in Cazorla for a tired Sanchez?

      Oh forgot to say 1FT and 0.3 in the bank.

    Guzan,
    Cahill, Zaba, Naylor
    Hazard, Siggy, Downing, Sanchez
    Costa, Austin, Giroud (c)

    Subs: Gilks, Clyne, Wisdom, Marney
    4.1m in account, 1 ft.

    Sterling (8.5m or less) in for Marney?
