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.

      Would hold. Good team.

  2. mozza
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A couple more responses appreciated to help nail down WC...
    1) Boyd and Silva
    2) Marney and ADM

    Other forwards are:
    Haz, Sanches, Chadli, xx, xx

    Cheers

      1 for me.

      1

    4. fishnil
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I would prefer 2 for now. If adm doesn't click can always change to Silva after 2 weeks when City fixtures turn good. I think adm will do good for now.

  3. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    We think Bony starts for City in GW24? Just planning an Aguero-less team.

    1. Emp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      wouldnt go near bony , rotatiion nightmares for sure. Youre joking about going agueroless yeah?

    2. Tony Yeboah
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      bony serious option upon return imo....pelle likes to play 2 up top....dzeko and jovetic rather crap competition....a couple of good performances and that spot will be his

  4. Jafalad
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Differential apart, can someone give me a reasonable explanation why ADM is so popular? I know he has the fixtures and possible OOP, but he was hardly racking up the points prior to his injury with an advanced role.

    1. mipola
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Because he is a world class player. Points will come soon.

      1. WayneKumar
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        still time.. he needs to find his feet again

      2. asif316uk
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This

      3. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        WC maybe. Hardly been a prolific goalscorer at any stage in his career. How many goals last year in the weaker La Liga - 4 was it?

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

      Prior to that he was on fire though.
      I guess it's more hope and expectation 🙂

      1. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmm...I hate hunches.

    3. athreya
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Only United player who is nailed on for advanced role. Was consistent prior to injury against weaker teams. Rooney playing in midfield and other forwards are patchy or injury prone.

      1. WayneKumar
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        if anyone in attack, i would only pick falcao atm

        1. athreya
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          But LvG is not picking him

          1. WayneKumar
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            he has to now...

            1. Skipdipper
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Depends if he is stubborn re agents comments but if RVP injured I think he will start. Am going adm though

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Because no one knows the future and he could potentially get points

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The same reason Costa is popular. FEAR because of those early season antics.

      1. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        So the logic in me tells me that it is best to wait to see some form first, correct?

    6. Tony Yeboah
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hope and potential.

      1. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmm...hardly solid ground for selecting a player when I'm position to win FPL.

        1. Tony Yeboah
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          nope not in the slightest.....however im chasing so its more than enough for me

    7. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      maybe some believe in coverage and fixtures over form

    8. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Only real route into Utd's great forthcoming fixtures. Doubts over Rooney's position, and lack of forward spots to accommodate, ADM is the next best thing.

  5. athreya
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling or Puncheon for 4th midfielder?

    Haz/alexis/adm for 3 spots.

    Fwds Kane/ Kun/ Ings.

    1. hagop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

      1. athreya
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. I am leaning that way too.

        1. Emp
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          sterlimng

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chadli before them for me. Sterling of the two you choose

      1. athreya
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Don't fancy chadli with Kane Already in my team.

  6. asif316uk
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    start krul or hamer?

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      hamer imo.....

  7. hagop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys, please help me 🙂

    A. Krul (non playing goalkeeper) & Baines - Fonte - Terry (PvA,Wasyl)

    B. Krul & Panti and Bertrand - Terry - Trippier (Koscielny, Wasyl)

  8. Tony Yeboah
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    My WC team locked and loaded -

    Foster / Myhill
    Bertrand / Fonte / Jones / PVA / Baird
    Sanchez / Hazard / Di Maria / Silva / Boyd
    Aguero / Austin / Kane

    1.9m itb...plan a risky punt on austin>giroud nxt gw....will asses this

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Don't double up on any defence. Just one own goal is enough to spoil the weekend.

      1. Tony Yeboah
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yep i told myself i wouldnt....just out of the mid-price defenders saints defenders are far ahead....pos upgrade one to azpi later....baird 5th def who can rot

    2. Emp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      dont plan transfers its a waste of a ft and its too fixture orientated. If you want giroud long-term just get him now and take the slightly lower expected vlue on the chin this week.

      1. Tony Yeboah
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        yh sound advice....have been thinking this...im still not sure on this transfer tho and with ML leader having Austin and the fact i fancy him to score today...plus i already have 3 attackers in the city/arsenal game....very tempted to wait even tho far from ideal

  9. Rushfort
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Common chaps convince me why I should captain aguero over kane, hazard and costa 🙂

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bcoz he is atleast going to play 50 odd minutes!!..... 😀

      1. Rushfort
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Haha ! *convinced 🙂

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Because he is Aguero

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Look at his record this season. Too prolific to ignore the hard facts.

  10. Snapes on a Plane
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    heaton(pants)
    cameron-fonte-collins (wasil,baird)
    haz-sanchez-silva-chadli(boyd)
    costa-augero-kane

    have a very weak defensive line 🙁
    what are the possible changes to make to go with a well balanced team?

  11. Chinu
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Play one between

    1. Fabianski and Krul
    2. Baird, Pva, and Hutton
    3. Boyd and Silva

    Thanks!

  12. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Current WC team, landed in the keep Costa camp:

    Panti Hamer
    Terry Bertrand Hutton PvA Baird
    Hazard Sanchez Silva Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Kane

    £0.4 itb

    Should I do Silva to AdM? Thinking I could wait and see if he fares better against PR, and then do the swap next week.
    Any thoughts?

    1. Emp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      i wouldnt plan a transfer ahead its a waste.I would decide now who you think will score more long term and then go with them.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That's the common wisdom - but I'm willing to take the risk.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team! Still not sure on Baird though.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Baird far from guaranteed game time, but as 5th mid at £3.9 not a big deal. Was originally on Wasi as you are, maybe I should switch back 🙂

    3. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks, cheers guys!

    4. mozza
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good, same front 8 as me. You starting Hamer?

  13. 50pipsDaily
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play?

    A) Kolarov
    B) Hutton
    C) Wisdom

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hutton

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      C

    3. Emp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B

  14. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Reeepoooooost

    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. DaddyPig
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Looks very good in my opinion!

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Good to go ! I'mm currently on Silva over AdM though due to form. Would you care to comment on my WC team above, Puyol?

    3. King H
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. Can u afford Boyd ?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. Nothing in the bank. I would rather not own Boyd due to benching headaches. Lots of people started him over Downing and look how that turned out.

  15. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who is more essential?
    A) Costa
    B) Che def
    C) both (not an option for me)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. WayneKumar
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. King H
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A would say Costa

    4. Skipdipper
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B

    5. Just A Wooden Spoon
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Costa, ownership could cripple your rank if he scores big.

    6. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B

    7. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Costa plays awesome 2nd halfs of seasons 😉

    8. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If you have haz and fabs you are already 50% points of a defender, so Costa for me for the time being.

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I have only Haz, can't afford all 3..so for me its either Costa or Terry?

  16. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Best 1 week punt to add to this team?

    Green Mannone
    Zabaleta Clyne Wisdom Hutton B.Davies
    Cazorla Sanchez Hazard SIlva Siggy
    Costa Kane Austin

    1.1m left over

    1. lilmessipran

      zaba to baines

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Davies to Jenkinson?

      1. King Kohli
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Does he get forward much?

        If i get him I could play him instead of Hutton

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Has been lately although little to show for it. Average position looked like a winger last week.

    Alright Everyone. 2 quick questions .. Play Pants or Foster and who to captain ?

    Pants
    Bertrand Terry Wisdom
    Sanchez Hazard Angel Siggy
    Giroud Kane Aguero

    Foster Boyd Hutton Pva

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm playing Foster and captaining Aguero (see above) 😉

      1. King H
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That's exactly how myteam is sitting just now.
        It would mean doubling up in west brim defence though

    2. TorresMagic™

  24. asif316uk
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Someone convince me i did the right thing by bringing in ADM for chadli.

    1. Just A Wooden Spoon
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      All irrelevant now, it's done.

      Btw, for what its worth i think Chadli will score big today.

      1. Killitzer
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        big enough to captain? That's who the my armband is on at the moment but then again I might bring in Kane....

    2. Killitzer
      • 16 Years

      wow. bold move!

      1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!

    Adrian
    Clyne Baines Zab
    Sanchez Haz (c) Silva Downing
    Austin Kane Costa

    subs: Heaton Siggy Wisdom Hutton

    0ft

    Am I ready for action? Should I captain Kane instead?

    Austin--> Kane

    Good move or sideways?

      Austin's got tough fixtures but I think he might outscore kane in the long run

    Anyone in the top 80K or above? I want your opinions.

    Would you prefer having a solid 7 attack and a solid 3 defence and a solid keeper

    or

    An absolute all round team. I have this atm and have been able to maintain the upward ranks.

    Because going all in on a bombing 11 with no reserve, leads to a bad game week due to big team clashes. In my previous seasons i've never reached the 100k rank using this tactic.

      The former option. However, given the time of the year, you do need a bench of regular starters.
