The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 21

After a hectic festive period, we go head-to-head with Paddy for the first time in the calendar year. With a tenner in hand, we turn to a trio of home sides in this week’s Flutter and place our faith in Burnley and Swansea’s strikers, whilst United’s fit-again Argentine also gets the nod as the Saints roll up to Old Trafford.

Turf Moor is our first port of call as Burnley and QPR go head-to-head later today. The Clarets lost 2-0 at Loftus Road last month and will be desperate for revenge here and, having scored two at City and three at Newcastle, we’re backing their attack to get the better of ‘Arry’s boys. Paddy are offering 25/1 on Danny Ings to score two or more goals and Burnley to keep a clean sheet and with those odds, we’re prepared to make this our bet of the week and shell out £4.

Next up, we head to Old Trafford for United’s home showdown with Southampton. As they’ve shown in recent matches, the Saints will be no pushovers against Louis van Gaal’s side and we’re expecting a tightly-fought encounter on Sunday afternoon. Angel Di Maria returned to action with a goal at Yeovil last weekend and with Paddy willing to offer 8/1 on the Argentine to score and United to keep a clean sheet, we’ll hand over £3.

We cross the border to Wales for our final bet as Swansea welcome West Ham to the Liberty. With Wilfried Bony off to the African Cup of Nations and looking likely to head to City before the transfer window closes, Bafetimbi Gomis has the chance to fire his way onto Fantasy radars against Big Sam’s side. With Paddy prepared to offer 25/1 on the Frenchman to score two or more goals and Swansea to keep a clean sheet, we part company with our final £3.

    Courtois / Hamer
    van Aanholt / Alderweireld / Debuchy / Wisdom / Wasilewski
    Chadli / Sanchez / Di Maria / Hazard / Fabregas
    Aguero / Ings / Kane

    B:

    Foster / Krul
    van Aanholt / Clyne / Debuchy / Terry / Morgan
    Chadli / Sanchez / Boyd / Hazard / Fabregas
    Aguero / Giroud / Kane

      B is literally better in every line.

      Thanks guys. I thought so but the thought of leaving Di Maria out is a painful one. Might just flip a coin between him and Fabregas.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        i guess it depends on minutes today.

    3. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wildcard transfers do not count to rises, so unless he goes mental off the bench then he def won't rise

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        he is already at 55%, if he comes on and looks lively, he will defo rise

  9. Clump

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Need to bench one of my front 8. Which one?

    Sig WHU Hazard NEW Silva ev Sanchez STK
    Austin bur Kane cry Costa NEW

    Home games are in caps.
    All help appreciated.

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      there are only 7 listed go with that line-up

      1. Clump
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No sh*t Sherlock. Just need to bench one of the above!

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          relax Austin who is the 8th.

        2. Clump
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Sterling.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm similar and going Austin

    3. Pompey5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I've got similar dilemma and have Austin on bench.

      1. Clump
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I too am leaning toward Austin. Got a feeling it might be 4-3 against Burnley in a relegation dogfight though.

  10. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Heaton (Mannone)
    Wisdom Ivanovic Hutton (OShea, Clyne)
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Boyd (Downing)
    Rooney Costa Austin

    2FT, £1.0 ITB.

    Guys I need help.

    I don't know what to do with my transfers, but: In the last GWs i only transferred out defender so I'm changing then when I wildcard. I would transfer Downing maybe but I can play Boyd over him this GW. The dilemma is Austin; I would give him another chance before to sell to Kane...

    1. Pompey5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If it helps I've got Austin on bench.
      You could do Downing to Chadli.

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      no you don't

      Austin > Kane save the other next week Hutton

  11. Pompey5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Panti
    Terry Wisdom PVA
    Hazard Silva Sanchez Cazorla Chadli
    Austin Costa Kane

    Heaton Kane Naylor Clyne

    On WC with cash ITB to get Aguero for Costa and Fab later.
    Any improvements?

    What should i do with my WC team?

    Heaton Hamer

    Clichy Lescott Bertrand Hutton PvA

    Hazard ADM Sanches Walcott Boyd

    RVP Austin Berahino

    *next week RVP to Aguero

    1. Pompey5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only 1 Chelsea? Walcott risky atm

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        This get Fab

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ings in for Austin and Silva in for Walcott

      Walcott still too early to bring in

    3. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Put Aguero in right now! Saves you a transfer!

    4. tajulariff
      • 13 Years

      Thanks. Very useful advice..

    5. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      maybe Walcott > Cazorla until Wally's nailed.for 90.

    Repost:
    Need some help guys:
    Heaton/Guzan
    Azpi/Zab/Vlaar/Dummet/O'Shea
    Silva/Yaya/Hazard/Sanchez/Downing
    Rvp/Kane/Austin

    Did Vlaar+Yaya+Azpi+Rvp-> Fab+Cresswell+Bertrand+Costa for -8

    Very temped to WC to:
    Heaton/Panti
    Terry/Bertrand /Cresswell/Wisdom/PVA
    Hazard/Sanchez/Silva/Fab (ADM)/Boyd
    Aguero/Kane/Giroud
    PROS: No hit/Get ahead if Aguero, Giroud, etc do well, don't have to worry about price rise
    CONS: risk on Aguero, Giroud, no WC for double gameweeks that might come, might take hits in the future (Wallcot, Ozil, new transfers).

    WC or wait?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      wait a week

    Kun or Sanchez? If Sanchez, can ransfer to Kun later (will need 2FT or -4).

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      At this stage Sanchez but assess kun's form after injury first.

          WC transfers don't have any bearing on price rises, so should be fine.

      Tough one - I'd say Hutton

        agree on both counts.

        I'm starting Naylor atm. Wonder if I should switch to Hutton. Leicester bit toothless right now?
