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.

    This is my WC team, what would you do to it?

    Foster
    Trippier Wisdom Hutton
    Sanchez Hazard Fabregas Di Maria
    Costa Austin Kane

    Subs. Hammer, Walcott, Keane, van Aarnholt

    Money in the bank to change Costa to Aguero next week and .4 to upgrade Trippier in 4 weeks to a 5.2.

    Would you gamble on Walcott today over Kane or Austin? Fancy Palace to be a tough game in Pardew first home game.

      no way you have walcott there as sub lol

        I've done it with GW23 in mind, do you think he will start today? I'm in 2 minds and if you do who would you drop out?

          the only thing, do we expect united to have an easy game against southampton, i don't know

          1. Slash
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Agreed but over the next 10 DDG isn't a bad shout

              1. Jay_
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  After Southampton RVP has arguably the best 2 fixtures of anyone in the game, i hope Kun doesnt rise above by that time though

                    If he plays against Everton i suspect he will

            • 13 Years

            I'd start PVA over Soton defence at least he has attacking potential

        4. Slash
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Is Hazard (c) a must? Is Costa (c) out of the question?

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Yes it is out of question and forbidden

          2. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            No. Costa can score too.

            1. Slash
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Just think that most are giving Haz the armband so a Costa brace could be an interesting differential really

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

            Tight race in my ML, giving the armband to haz to keep chasing

            I would have gone for Costa if I am leading

            1. Slash
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              10 points from top.. Would you gamble on Costa?

            2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              I'm leading my mini league by 22 points and second pace doesn't have Costa but he has Hazard and Fab... Should I go with Costa then?

              1. Slash
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                See in that scenario I reckon that's a good opportunity

        5. Scratch
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Those Paddy power bets look terrible. Gomis to score twice and Swansea to keep a clean sheet? Lol he's scored once up until now and West Ham normally don't have any problem scoring.

          1. tokara
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            WH could only scored once agst struggling everton and they already played few days back...

          2. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            They are terrible. Always are. It's the massive odds to try to get new blood in without much chance of payout. Probably if you do win you can't even take your money

          3. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            I had a look at it a few weeks ago. I think it was 3/45 were winners.

        6. La Roja
          • 14 Years

          Is this good to go lads?

          Forster
          Zaba hutton JT
          Sanchez Eriksen Silva Hazard
          Costa Kane Austin

          4.0 Clyne Chester King

          2m ITB & 1 FT

          A) Austin to Ings
          B) Zaba to Debuchy or wisdom
          C) save Ft

          1. New Ghost
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            save FT. good to go bud.

            captain?

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              But says costa

              Logic says hazard

              😮

              1. La Roja
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                gut*

                • 13 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                I have a gut feeling that costa will do major damage this GW. I'm terrified of not owning him this week.

                go costa

                1. La Roja
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  U just made it more difficult

                  Sigh

              Thought that was coming from someone

              1. Skipdipper
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Couldn't resist. Followed my butt 🙂

                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  Costa (c) then for u ?

                  1. Skipdipper
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 2 months ago

                    Would like as a differential but probably chicken out as nearest ML rival (15 points behind, was 80 points) will go hazard as he is predictable and it's captain choice and benching Kane that have ruined me last few gws so will probably play safe

        7. jbenny1107
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero or Costa?

          1. Scratch
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            For what exactly?

            Who is the better player?
            Who is prettier?
            Who is more likely a serial killer?
            Who earns more money?
            Who is better for GW21?

            1. Skipdipper
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Aguero
              Neither
              Costa
              Costa
              Costa

        9. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I can see Aguero doing some serious damage against Arsenal next week

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Likewise, not sure how to bring him in. Don't wanna Wc early

            1. Nickofoz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              I think I will.

              I was going to WC before GW23 (for the turn in fixtures) but with Aguero back I think it makes sense to WC early before he is too expensive.

              1. La Roja
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                I might risk it and wait one more week. GW 23 Wc looks just perfect

                1. Skipdipper
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  If your wc draft depended on his price not rising as no funds would you early?

          2. Scratch
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Assuming he doesn't hobble off injured before half time

            1. Nickofoz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              True

              1. Scratch
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                That's the trouble with Aguero. He's back ahead of schedule and if previous seasons are anything to go by he could pick up a different injury as often happens players on their return. Personally think leaving the WC until GW23 reduces the risk

        10. The Finnisher
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Alright pick it apart.

          Foster Myhill
          Terry Debuchy Bertrand PvA Cameron
          Sanchez Hazard Sterling Di Maria Boyd
          Costa (> Aguero) Kane Giroud

          Not fussed if Sterling doesn't play this week but still not sure on him or Cameron

          1. Acquafresca
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            WC team?

            Looks good all around tbf

            1. The Finnisher
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Yep. Only 11 changes from my original shite. 12 if you count the Costa > Kun plan

              1. Acquafresca
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                You sure you don't want both Costa and Aguero?

                1. The Finnisher
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  Pretty sure at this stage. I have had him for ages and he isn't producing enough for 11M. Could always downgrade one of the mid later on if I need to

                  1. Acquafresca
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 2 months ago

                    Walcott to start Sunday? I kinda wanna punt on him.

                    1. The Finnisher
                      • 14 Years
                      11 years, 2 months ago

                      Not sure. Might be Ox & Sanchez with a 30 minute sub appearance.

          2. A La Pelle
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Looks like a very typical WC team.

            1. The Finnisher
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Any inspirational suggestions then?

              1. A La Pelle
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Didn't mean it as a bad thing 🙂
                I think it's a good team. Interesting picks and choices will come with the end of the transfer window I hope.

            2. Birds of Prey
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              rotate PvA with NEW or Cameron w/SWA. Not a fan of both WBA keepers take Hamer--he plays.

              1. The Finnisher
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

                Will Hamer play over Schwarzer?

                Only have 8.4 for those defender spots

        11. Nice to Finally Michu
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Costa (C) over Haz?

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

            Costa(C) atm but i'll chicken out most likely

            yeah but you are doubled on AV--20th worst fix's over next 5 maybe give it a week

            rotate Krul w/Pant instead.

          Toughts?

          a) yaya -> fab and bench downing

          b) play Downing and next week maybe yaya, benteke -> Chadli, Aguero for free

            I'd rather have Fabregas or Chadli than Downing this week. So either way you may as well sell Yaya now

          Would you double up on the WBA defence and play Wisdom and Foster, or play Lloris in goals?

          1. Birds of Prey
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Lloris but not by much

            Would double up actually for that price. Just don't trust Spurs defence at the moment.

          I'm top in my mini league by a slim margin. Here's my current WC team. Planning to play it next GW assuming Aguero comes in as expected.

          Pantilimon - Hamer
          Bertrand - Terry - PVA - Hutton - Wisdom
          Boyd - Fab - Sanchez- Hazard - ADM
          Aguero - Kane - Austin

          Leaves me with 0.2 in the bank... which doesn't give me a lot of flexibility going forward and makes me susceptible to price rises before the next GW.

          Any advice? Is Hamer a good choice at 4.0 or should I blow my loose change on Mannone as backup? Should I free up some funds with Austin -> Ings?

          1. Scratch
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah i'd sell Austin (though I expect him to score against his former club tomorrow) QPR have already played all the easy teams at home.

          JOA I think you inspired me to get only one of Costa/ Aguero.

          Owning Aguero I probably will never captain Costa anyway.

          1. Skipdipper
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Still debating whether Costa and Aguero or just Aguero and fitting in fabregas

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              I'm going Aguero and Giroud to fit in Fab as the 4th mid

        22. Nice to Finally Michu
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Last question, I promise.

          Should I play Cresswell or Clichy?

            • 13 Years

          B. Costa + 7.4 (Chadli)

            WC team from next GW:

            Heaton / Pantimilion
            Terry - Jones - Alderweireld (Wisdom - Wasilewski)

            Does it look good?
