The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 22

We place our faith in Tottenham’s man-of-the-moment and a couple of fit-again, Manchester-based South Americans in this week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy.

We turn to Tottenham’s home encounter with Sunderland, as Harry Kane looks to continue the form that has racked up six goals in as many league appearances. Rested for the midweek cup win over Burnley, he’s set to lead the line against a side that have blanked in seven of their ten road trips – with Paddy offering 9/1 on Kane to score two or more goals and Spurs to keep a clean sheet, we’re more than willing to make this our bet of the week and throw £4 their way.

City’s home clash against Arsenal brings Sergio Aguero onto our radar. Given that the corresponding fixture finished 6-3 to the champions last season, there could be plenty of goals in this one yet again. Paddy are willing to offer 11/1 on Aguero to score two or more goals and Man City to keep a clean sheet and with Vincent Kompany back for the hosts, we’re sticking our necks out and handing over another £3.

Our final bet is kept for Loftus Road, as United face a QPR side unbeaten in seven in front of their own fans. Louis van Gaal will be demanding a response after last week’s dire display against Southampton and with Paddy offering 5/1 on Angel di Maria to score and the Red Devils to keep a clean sheet, we’re prepared to part with our final £3.

    I am on wildcard now. Does that mean my FT gets saved for next week?

    1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, you lose it.

    2. Blue Lion
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nope.

  2. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What is everyone thoughts on Adam Johnson? I might be doing Downing ---> Johnson as my FT after this GW

    1. Pomp and Circumstance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      also considering bringing in for the next GW; mostly favorable fixtures for a while, and tends to do well in latter part of the season

  4. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    captain: Rooney, Kane, or Costa?

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

      Probably Costa out of that lot.

      1. Pomp and Circumstance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        realized that Costa had a a hat trick against Swansea in the reverse fixture

        still not sure who to choose for this GW tho

    2. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Rooney against QPR.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Will Hamer lose his spot? I think Schwarzer might start lol

      1. NULL-X-VOID
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        i dont think so.I think so Hamer is nailed on

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Then why would he agree to join Leicester? Are their benches more comfier?

            • 12 Years

    C) Eriksen

  7. Outatime
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Repost.

    Best 4.5 defender for the next couple gw's?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wisdom

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wollscheid

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

        Each time I read this it sounds like holly s*it

  8. GK
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who do you rate as a better prospect for Soton now - Bertrand or Fonte? The way I see it -

    Bertrand - IF played as a LB has greater assist potential, equal CS potential (obviously) and has been one of the best defenders for value and total score this season. If Koeman continued with 3-5-2 he could continue at CB greatly reducing appeal

    Fonte - 0.2m cheaper, greater goal threat and BAPS magnet scoring almost as many as Bertrand and Clyne combined. Probably less likely to have as many big hauls as Bertrand but score consistently well

    Thoughts chaps? Who are you going for?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Fonte.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I couldn't decide between the two so I tossed a coin and got Bertrand. 😛

    3. Skipdipper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Both

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

        I'm currently on WC with Clyne (had since he was cheap) and juggling between Fonte and Bertrand. Would the fact that it was teaming up one of the two with Clyne have any influence on who you picked?

        1. Skipdipper
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Fonte. Baps magnet and due a goal

    4. Baby Bubu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What about Clyne v. Fonte?

  9. Grumpy Camel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Play zaba or wisdom?

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      neither

  10. neopaint2005
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Krul or Green for GK this week?

    1. Snapes on a Plane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      green

  11. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Question for all WC'ers having a front line of Austin Kane Kun and spending elsewhere....

    Aren't you creating a massive headache getting any other mid/high end striker in...?

    Spreading that wealth could just create many point hits if Kane/Austin gets injured, suspended, or goes off the boil.

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

      It's only going to take a 4 point hit to correct matters by swapping a mid for a fwd. Hardly worth worrying about.

      Fact is, right now, Kane, Kun, Kaustin is the forward line to have.

      1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not saying don't get them, but do you keep some money aside to allow flexibility...?

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

          Nope - just get the best team out there right now. I never keep money back. I feel that's a wasted tactic.

    2. The Shoonchy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      For me, I have to do 2 Transfers for that
      Downgrade Fabregas or Di Maria to Boyd
      Austin upgrade to Diego Costa
      Don't think that's a huge tinkering to do, 2 moves
      Could be even done for a 4 point hit, or just FT's

    3. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's why I've gone Augero - Costa - Kane, more flexible and still a very decent attack.

    4. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm not wildcarding, but I have that front line. I also have £9m invested in keepers, a £24.5m sale-price defence, the top four midfielders and enough in the bank to switch Kane to any forward except RVP.

    5. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Still think that's the best lineup for now, but will keep it flexible in case other expensive options come up.

      The plan is to save a transfer next week so I have 2FT each week. Can then get in Costa/Sturridge by downgrading a mid.

  12. saurabh.06
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What r odds for mata staring this week

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

      I'll give you 13/8.

  13. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    quick captain poll..Kun here but tempted by Kane/Haz/Downing

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kun 100% for me.

  14. DameCorp
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Bennch one:

    A) Zab
    B) Siggy
    C) Austin

  15. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How to start....?

    A. Bertrand or Duff

    B. Siggy or Boyd

    1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How/Who.... 🙄

      1. Snapes on a Plane
        • 9 Years

        bertand and boyd

  16. asif316uk
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    P.Jones + Austin
    or
    Ings + Clyne/Cresswell/Shaw

  17. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like I am set with the WC team..

    Heaton
    Clyne Terry Cameron
    Hazard Fabs Sanchez ADM
    Aguero Austin Kane

    Panti Boyd Wisdom PVA

    Aguero, Kane or Hazard for captain? On Aguero atm..

  18. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    When is DGW due to League cup final likely? Or which teams might not play in which GW due to League cup? Does that make sense?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So Liverpool or Chelsea and possibly Spurs might have a blank GW coming up, right? When would that be?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Final on 1st March? Which GW is that?

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

        Leicester and QPR could also be affected

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Ah right yes, the possible opponents. There should be a third team?

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

      GW27 i thought

  19. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which WC team is better?
    A)
    Pants / Hamer
    Berty* / Terry / Wasi / Wisdom / Fonte or Clyne or Kosc*
    ADM / Sanchez / Haz / Silva* / Marney
    Aguero / Kane / Austin*

    B)
    Pants / Hamer
    PVA* / Terry / Wisdom / Wasil / Gardos or Toby*
    ADM / Sanchez / Haz / Chadli* / Marney
    Aguero / Kane / Costa*

  20. saurabh.06

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who to start mata or puncheon?

    1. WayneKumar
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      MATA BRO!

  21. peanut101
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    can somebody please explain to me why people have Foster/Hamer? Why wouldn't you have Myhill instead of Hamer? Hamer will be dropped very soon. I just don't understand this..

    1. Skipdipper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Someone told me Myhill was dropping in price so I switched to avoid losing value
      Then I decided I would rather start hamer this week but have forgotten about schwarzer so now unsure what to do

      1. peanut101
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        well i do have foster/hamer right now (on wc) but don't see why i should keep. the only advantage would be to start him over foster this week...after that he is just a liability and my hill as backup would be much better i think

        1. Skipdipper
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          This is true and I have already had a Krul McCarthy nightmare this season
          Keeper transfers outside of wc seem such a waste

          1. peanut101
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            exactly, switching to myhill now...who knows foster may even get a cleanie vs everton

            1. Skipdipper
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              The pulis factor 🙂

              Baines penalty save 🙂

              1. Old Man
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                now that would be nice.

            2. Skipdipper
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              So if I do that. Play foster
              Should I stick with terry berty fonte back three or play wasi ahead of fonte or berty?

              1. peanut101
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                no way leicester are crap, bert/fonte all day

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

    Pick 2 out of:

    A. Bertrand
    B. Clyne
    C. Fonte

    ?

    1. Skipdipper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Berty
      Fonte

      1. peanut101
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        ^ this 100%. attacking + bps magnet is a solid combo

  23. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team from next week?

    Panti / Krul
    Terry / Clyne / PVA / Wisdom / Hutton
    ADM / Haz / Sanchez / Marney / Silva or other heavy hitting mid depending on fixtures
    Kun / Kane / Defoe (if he starts today)

    Still have 0.6 left

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

      Defoe-too punty
      Nice d.
      Gks - would rather have Fos than Krul.
      ADM -> Fabs
      Marney->Boyd

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Defoe worth the punt for the next 4 imo
        Agree on Foster
        ADM more upside and more of a differential than Cesc
        Will have to send 0.3 more to get Boyd who will be benched almost all the time

  24. sahil__shah
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Better option

    Courtois and Fonte for 11.5m or Forster & Terry for 12.2m ???

    1. Skipdipper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Paper talk says Cech will start again due to courtois finger issue so the second?

    2. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      for this week forster and terry for me.....

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      second long term as well terry offers way too much on set pieces

  25. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Clichy nailed ? Is he good wc option ?

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

      I never know with Clichy/Kolorov. I'd stay well clear of Citeh d after my experience with Zabba. Too expensive for the poor returns imo.

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

      will be rotated with Kolarov, Kompany is the best option from City imo

  26. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Keep azpi or zaba?

    Would probably play zaba next 2 (ARS, che)

    Would need to play Hutton (LIV) this week, azpi next week (MCY)

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      WC after next 2

  27. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Haven't tinkered with my WC squad in a couple of days now 😯

    Thoughts?

    Foster
    Terry, Bertrand, Wasil
    Sanchez, Hazard, ADM, Downing
    Kane, Costa, Aguero (C)

    Panti, Albrighton, Wisdom, PvA

    Cheers 😀

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years

        Adam Johnson next week. Unless a better option comes up.

  28. Slaps

    Who to bench, Coutinho Downing or Boyd?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Boyd maybe.

      1. Slaps
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeh I think so, but I think I've had him on the bench every time he's scored so far

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Boyd

    3. mookie
      • 10 Years

      Boyd

    4. Skipdipper

      Cheers all

    6. Diva
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Boyd this week I reckon.

  29. Sid07
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    1)Play boyd or siggy
    2)play wasil or pva or wisdom

    1. Skipdipper
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Boyd
      Wasi

  30. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Costa on 103 points and costing 11.2m

    Ivanovic/Terry collectively on 204 points and cost 13.9 for the pair.

    Can only see things getting tighter as the season goes on...

    WC CHE 3 = Ivanovic/Terry/Hazard

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's the 3 I'm going for

      1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        More bonus potential at the back too... Costa is consistent but not explosive... Kane or Austin for example could easily equal his points outlay til the end of the season.

    2. Mr Smith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I sit in the camp which thinks Costa will really push on in the 2nd half of the season. He is clearly getting changes and could have had more than a couple of goals last game. I think we'll see a resurgence in the 2nd half of the season.

      I also predict Terry won't score another 3 goals in the latter part of the season, not even 2.

      1. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but Terry/Ivan a bonus whore when CHE don't concede. Costa has to score more than one for any baps to happen. I want more for that sort of money.

        Also predicting more for Costa but less for the defence is pure guesswork, the stats tell a differnet story.

        1. Mr Smith

          Not true, take away Terrys goals and he's only got bonus on 2 occasions when Chelsea have kept a cleanie. Azpi is the Chelsea bap whore when they keep a cleanie.

          If my prediction about Costa is true then he will be in line for more of the bonus than he has achieved so far.

          Actually, same with Ivan...only 2 games has he got bonus when he hasn't assisted or scored. Hardly a bap whore.

            Ivan is a bap repellent. Check out my community article.
