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.

            • 16 Years

  9. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    So, general consensus ..

    Sanchez to:

    A) Start
    B) Be rested

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Start. Don't really see who he could bring in.

    2. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      b

    3. madame shelly
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      start, possibly up front !

    4. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Start.

    5. QPR expects... glory!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B

  10. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Christmas Cracker Joke Alert!

    Q: What has one big hand, one little hand and one big foot?

    A: Sasqwatch.

    1. Godfather Bandit 42
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Love it!!!!

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Q: What do you call an elf who sings?

      A: a wrapper!

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

    Is it normal for Watchlist not to be updated when there is fixture congestion like this?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      It's more to do with it being Christmas and probably just not having the time to update it

  12. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    With Podolski on the way out, Walcott unfit and Wenger having no faith in Campbell, why does everyone seem to think Alexis will be rested?

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

      Beats me

    2. Shaw must go on
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i reckon sanchez will be rested only when wallcott´s back!!

  13. juvelova
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Probable City defenders in next two matches ??

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

      Mangala and Demi should start both.

    2. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Id say Demi & Mangala- Kompany may or may not be fit.

      Zaba & Clichy to be rotated.. Sagna & Kolarov

  14. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Who do you reckon will be the most captained player in the top 10,000 this gameweek?

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

      Giroud

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez

    3. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Haz

    4. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez probably. A lot will go Costa.

    5. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez or Giroud

  15. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Good to save the FT?

    Panti
    Zaba Baines Azpi
    Sanchez Fabregas Hazard Yaya Siggy
    Austin Bony

    Sahko Yun Moore

  16. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Can't decide between Hazard & Sanchez for the armband so probably will go for (C)osta. Sound logic? 😀

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Similar situation but Kane or yaya will get armband

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

      Sanchez if you think he starts.

    3. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No, Costa is an awful choice. Go hazard

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

      Haha done this a few times - I do feel Costa will come back with a high scoring game, just when...

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

    Giroud still on pens????

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

      YEs He is

    2. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Caz

      1. samuelhzb
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Giroud is ahead of Caz. Both times Caz took was because Giroud was already subbed off.

  18. Coffee
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Some advice needed!!

    Fab
    Clyne Chambers Wisdom
    Haz Sanchez Siggy Downing
    Costa RvP Austin

    Myhill STaylor Yun Boateng

    Who would you captain? I've got 2.4 ITB and 1FT, no City cover which bothers me with the upcoming fixtures, I can do Wisdom -> Zaba but concerned with him being rotated with Sagna!

    1. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      RVP for captain..

      City..Ive gone for Demi.

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

    Yaaaay or Naaay

    Costa > Giroud

    Sakho > Bony

    Both for free

    1. Hazardous Liege '76
      • 14 Years

      Second one maybe

    2. Nr.10
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      oh intresting.... thanks for the tip!

      do you think it is better to transfer out Rooney instead of Costa?

  20. Nr.10
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hello!

    Pantilimon (Green)

    Alderweireld - Clichy - Reid (Hutton - Wisdom)

    Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Fabregas (McCarthy)

    Rooney - Costa - Sakho

    Reid --> Steven Taylor
    fabregas or Hazard(?) --> Coutinho
    Sakho --> Giroud

    really want Giroud in my team. but is it worth it?

    1. Big Col

      A

  27. Syd.

    I expect every team to put their strongest line ups out today

  28. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lets say Yaya turns up pregnant today, Lampard probably takes his starting place then right?

  29. UnitednationsXI

    quick question on jones....rodgers has stated that mignolet is out indefinitely.

    but do we expect mignolet to be reinstated soon.....jones worth the gamble? am in need a gk

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

      Fwiw I think Jones will continue in goal until well into January however I would not invest in the Liverpool defence.

  30. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Keep Lukaku or get rid for Bony/Welbz/Kane? Cheers.
