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.

    Is it Better to get Aguero on now as i am on WC or do a RVP punt and use my FT next GW for RVP-->Kun??
    Please help

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years

      In the same boat

      I've gone Aguero

      Even if he plays ten mins he'll probably score

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      RvP, Costa or Rooney

      Aguero might get minutes today but the above will get more... To me it's all about the odds, average and mini ioi g your risk

      1. Concrete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

      I've punted on Ings and will transfer Aguero in today if he comes on and doesn't get injured.

      There'll be a massive fire-sale after this gw

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

        Why is that? Manu at home is a solid fixture for Austin

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

          How is that in any way a solid fixture? Especially with all of United's defenders being back this week. Rojo and Blind will make us far more secure

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

            Manu suck at the back, simples

              • 10 Years

              For now, yes.

    Will be interesting to see the ownership stats of the top 10k evolve this month as wildcards are played. Costa dropping maybe?

    1. Davros
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Would have thought so. Straight swap for Aguero I would have thought for many?

  13. WorldCupDanB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So what is the consensus on whether sterling will play today, does anybody have any useful information

    1. Just A Wooden Spoon
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      consensus is he's still lying on a beach in Jamaica so no he won't be playing.

    2. Davros
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Daily mirror reported he's in Jamaica on holiday. There's a link somewhere hold on I'll find it

  14. Just A Wooden Spoon
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Too templatey?

    Pantilimon, Hamer
    Bertrand, Alderweireld, Wisdom, Dummett, Hutton
    Hazard, Fàbregas, Sánchez, Di María, Boyd
    Agüero, Kane, Costa

    ?

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard-Fabregas-Costa is never "too templatey".

      Panti-Hamer is different, one cheap playing keeper and a rotating/non-playing keeper (now that they got Schwarzer)

      Then you double up on Saints.

      So no.

  15. shady4revr
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Wild card active, please tell me if any changes.

    Foster, Panti

    Trippier, Ivanovic, Wisdom, Hutton, Bertrand

    Di Maria Sanchez Hazard Silva Boyd

    Berahino Ings Costa

    Tell me if need to replace anyone and the playing 11 and the bench subs line wise. 🙂

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

      Pant rotates with Krul a bit better. And get Kane in. Solid otherwise. IMO GL

      1. shady4revr
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Kane for?

  16. simosalminen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Play one out of

    A) Clichy (eve)
    B) Baines (MCY)
    C) Vergini (LIV)

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Baines NBNC

      1. simosalminen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        🙂 Yeah, I know.... It's against City, Everton has been terrible and Clichy is almost as big of an assist threat as Baines...

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Clichy

      1. simosalminen

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I think Both woudn'y get CS so Who to play ?

    A- Baines

    B- Trippier

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

      Baines is on pens, but that's a toss up.

      Lot of coin to have on the bench.

    2. Adams6
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I just sold Baines for Trippier. If I had Baines I would play him. And as I have just sold him Everton are GUARANTEED a penalty today

    3. Davros
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier without hesitation

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

    Who would you bench out of:

    A) Downing
    B) Siggy

  24. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years

    Baird at 3.9 will be interesting if he nails down a starting role.

  25. Greasy
    • 10 Years

    Bench Eriksen or Austin?

  26. Surezh06

    1. Greasy

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yup looks good on paper, but both did get more points in away games than the home ones

  27. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Good to go? Already used my FT. This week is more about consolidating my 6k rank, so I want to stay in touch with the wildcarders.

    Guzan
    Terry Naylor Hutton
    Silva Hazard(C) Sanchez Boyd
    Costa Austin Kane

    Alnwick Milner Bruce Vergini

  28. Blue Lion

    If cash was not an issue, would you rather have Debuchy or Koscielny?

    1. Adams6
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Debuchy

    2. Greasy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kosc and I've no idea why... They'll probably score the same

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

      Debuchy attacks+ coin

  29. Hot Sauce
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which team is better?

    A. Would give me.

    Foster
    Terry Cahill Bertrand
    Dimaria Hazard Siggy Sanchez
    Giroud RVP Kane

    B.
    Foster
    Terry Bertrand PVA/Trippier rotation
    Hazard Sanchez Tadic Fabregas
    Giroud RVP Kane

    1. Birds of Prey

      B

  30. OLEgend
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Did Downing to Dimaria for a -4. Hope it works out. One goal and an assist from Angel will do 🙂

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

      at worst you have him on great fixtures for next 5.

    2. Davros
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Long term might work out if not this gameweek
