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.

          Liv are cack. No different to playing Swansea at home, probably preferential actually.

    Phil Jones £5.2m anyone? Strong fixtures and they seem to be at full strength now. They looked very solid at Spurs recently. And he seems to play whenever he is fit.

    1. Splatter\\\'s Omerta
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Like it. Great fixtures. Deciding Evans or Jones myself.

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

        jones over evans. shaw also is a good option

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

          Just have warm memories of Evans' goals a couple of seasons ago.

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

        Evans is effing shite and should dropped (united fan)

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'm playing Jones - great fixtures.

    3. iNFL8r
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I would worry that the preferred centre back partnership is Rojo + 1 and it looks to me as though Smalling is winning that battle.

  3. The Count of Monte Cristo

    Good to luck everyone today! Got a nice 6 hour drive soon to ponder all manners of WC permutations!

      Giroud

      1. Birds of Prey

  7. Gilbo88

    Best defender this week only? Wild carding next week and have 2 free transfers I want to use before then

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years

      Skrtel, maybe Trippier.

  8. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years

    What multiples / accas have you guys got on today?

  9. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I saw some people here calling sterling world class... Seriously?
    Just in the premier league there are at least ten midfielders clearly better than him, and if anyone thinks the likes of nasri or willian or cazorla are not also as good then he needs to stop drinking the cool aid.

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

      it's called Kool Aid in the states. And I think playing for a World Cup team makes you world class.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        World Cup team makes you world class?
        Seriously?
        Can you even name two players from Algiers? 3 players from South Korea? Do you know Dempsey, who was the start of a team that made it to the final 16, is still world class??

  10. Spoox777
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Which 2 please?

    Pantilimon or Guzan

    Is Pieters a good shout? Or what?

    1. mouldy_uk
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Stoke defenders are super trolls, would stay clear

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

        😆

        Thanks for the heads up....hate them trolls....

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      In my wc draft

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

        I thought he might be decent also.....tends to be quite attacking?

        1. Kuqi Monster
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Fairly yes, too much rotation risk for the other Stoke defensive positions.

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

            He nailed on Kuqi?

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

      Good shout imo

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

        Super troll?

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

          Not for me. Those who tag someone as troll must have picked them at wrong time 😛

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

            Baines & Zabaleta, now there's a couple of super trolls....

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

              Baines: Everton's poor form
              Zaba: No Kompany
              Not that I'm genius but we just pick few players at wrong time and they turn into trolls 😀

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

  13. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Best 4.6m def or under.....have PVA, Wisdom & Hutton....

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 2 months ago

      Pietres?

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

        He's a super troll by all accounts.....gone off him as quickly as I considered him.... 😀

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          We'll then slim pickings at this range - unless you are willing to go to a soon to be relegated team

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

            True and good points....my WC def looks kinda rubbish 😛

    He was such a good differential just 6 weeks ago.

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Incredible value.

  18. Pompey5

  20. Kuqi Monster
    • 15 Years

    Gonna shift sterling, best mid up to 8.8m for next two GW only?

    Other mids Haz, Sanchez, downing, Boyd

    Cazorla?

    1. wah1berg
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Mata or Gerrard?

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe Chadli, Eriksen or Gerrard. Erik had brill away scores.

    3. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Chadlli or Eriksen

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How's my WC team shaping up? [To be activated later on after deadline!]

    Foster [4.0 🙁 ]
    Ivan, Debuchy, Clyne [McAuley, Hutton]
    ADM, Haz, Fab, Theo, Siggy
    Kun, Kane [Berahino]

    Is it worth downgrading Berahino & upgrading the sub-GK??
    I feel like gambling that Foster won't get injured again this year... could be foolish
    Also definitely going 3-5-2, mids are scoring big this year, Kun is the only must-have forward & there are LOADS of cut price fwds doing good.

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I like mcaully but wallcot is too early and berahino with too many question marks

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe caz or rambo while theo eases back in? Can't afford alexis

    2. Rats Ass
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I would downgrade someone for a better 2nd keeper. Expensive defence.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        It is an expensive defence... But i got clyne nd hutton at 5.0 &4.0 so that saves over 1.0m vs. mkt value... Debuchy & mcauley should both be more expensive than they currently are so think it's good value!

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

      im not keen on siggy to be honest, would prob bench walcott this week aswell

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

        actually downgrade siggy to boyd get back up keeper to heaton or pants and see what money is left to upgrade berahino

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Siggy is nearly my favourite FPL player tho 🙂 i think he'll get 200 points this year & got him for 6.0 on day 1 so loathe to sell... Chadli & downing both tempting though... As is robbie brady believe it or not

    4. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Why not just get Myhill in for the 4.0? Then you're covered either way. Means not getting one of Berahino or McAuley. Maybe Fab, Theo, Bera to Sanchez, Boyd, Giroud

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

        Oh yeah, and Chadli over Siggy for me.

  22. Slumdog Mignolet.
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Can I please get a quick RMWT on this team that probably looks like all the other WC teams this week lol...

    I'm just not sure on third striker, I've only got 5.7. Berahino?

    Pantilimon - Mannone
    Terry - Bertrand - Hutton - van Aanholt - Wisdom
    Sanchez - Chadli - Silva - Fabregas - Hazard
    Aguero - Kane - 5.7

    Played my WC to sort defense and GKs out pretty much.

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nice

    2. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It looks good
      Personally I wouldn't double up on Sunderland and I'd have rotating keepers I think but it's all to do with cash

      1. Slumdog Mignolet.
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I always get rotating keepers wrong lol so figured I couldn't go wrong with 2 same team?

        Going to attempt to rotate van Aanholt, Hutton, wisdom.

        What u think about a third striker?

    3. Evans
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Why not go with gerrard instead of silva and upgrade 5.7 foward

      1. Slumdog Mignolet.
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        That would give me 6.3 or enough to hold on to Austin as my third?

  23. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hart
    Baines Terry Naylor
    Sanchez hazard silva Eriksen
    Austin Costa kane

    Boyd Hutton Dummett

    G2G?p for this GW? Cheers

  24. jaco
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Need to start 2 of the below, any thoughts?

    Baines
    Zabs
    Bertrand
    Cresswell

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Cresswell, Zabaleta imo

      (tough call between Zabaleta and Bertrand, but I'd prefer the former)

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Cressleta

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Actually all a bit of a muchness. Think they will all concede so it comes down to attacking potential.

        I'm benching Cresswell for Zabs if that helps

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

          Cheers man, yeah it's a tough one

    2ft, 2.7 itb. Any bigger adjustments needed or should I just swap McCarthy to someone who plays (max 4.5m)?

    Do PVA and ADM sound like STDs to anyone else?

    "I met a girl last night and think I have a bad case of pva this morning."
    "At least it's not ADM else you'd be in hospital."

      PvA more so. AdM just sounds like you can't focus. There I played.

        Think you could be right.

        For the first time this season I've got my lineup sorted early (helped by sterling not playing) and won't be panicking up til 11.30.
        Think I'll just go and help people now...
