The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 23

With tenner in hand, we go up against Paddy once again this morning. This time round, we turn to Sunderland’s new frontman, Liverpool’s young midfielder and Arsenal’s lone forward to boost our prospects of ending the weekend in profit.

We kick off at the Stadium of Light, where Jermain Defoe is set for his Premier League home debut for Sunderland against Burnley. With Gus Poyet determined to go on the attack and take advantage of some kind fixtures in front of the Wearside faithful, Defoe’s output looks key to the Black Cats’ survival. Paddy are offering 25/1 on Defoe to score two or more and Sunderland to serve up a clean sheet later today – we’ve a feeling he’ll make the difference against the Clarets and hand over our first £3.

Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their midweek Capital One Cup exit as West Ham make their way to Anfield later today. With the Hammers nursing a number of injury worries, we’re backing the home side to do the business here – Paddy are offering 11/2 on Raheem Sterling to score and the Reds to keep a clean sheet and we’re confident enough to shell out another £3 for the Merseyside match.

Our final stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal entertain out-of-sorts Villa. The Gunners have their tails up after defeating City on their travels last time around and with their visitors scoring once in the last seven Gameweeks, a win for Arsene Wenger’s side is highly anticipated. With Paddy offering 13/2 on Olivier Giroud to score two or more goals and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re making this one our bet of the week and part company with our final £4.

    I am living on the edge. Could end up with 2 playing defenders this gameweek. Shaw, Cameron and Baird not nailed. Nervous times ahead.

    1. Crabwalk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      At least 1 out of those will play and probably do well. Don't worry.

        Thanks. Seems Carrick is injured. That should guarantee Shaw a start. Fingers crossed.

      It's our host. They had some major difficulties across their network. They've got us back up but I guess there will be a few errors now and again while things settle.

  12. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Foster / Myhill
    Azpilicueta, Clyne, van Aanholt / Wisdom, Hutton
    Sanchez, Hazard, Cazorla, Di Maria / Boyd
    Agüero, Giroud, Kane

    I'm 0.1 short of this team...

    Who would you downgrade ?

    1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…

      wisdom to baird?

      1. Lyonnais
        • 11 Years

        I'm not sure if he's nailed

        1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          5th defender though, worth the risk?

          1. Lyonnais
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Could be worth it as I've also Foster.

    2. Djerbil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Boyd-> 4.5m

      1. Lyonnais
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, could do this. But I need a good 5th mid if Sanchez is out.

        1. A La Pelle
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Should get Sanchez. Then Sanchez would auto sub in for Sanchez too...

    3. Lyonnais
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      And is Azpi a good pick ?
      Or should I go with Terry instead ?

    Okay, how’s the WC team looking? Gone for something different…had Falcao but swapped him with RVP after rumours that he might be replaced in the starting 11.

    Foster (Hamer)
    Terry Wollschied Bellerin (PVA, Wisdom)
    Hazard Coutinho Cazorla Puncheon (Ameobi)
    Giroud(VC) Aguero RVP(C)

    Hi guys 2. Questions please

    1 will Chadli play today
    And
    2. If not who do you think is the best switch ADM, Walcott or Cazorla
    Thanks

  16. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is Foster + Pantilimon a good GK combo?

  17. Zep
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Wrong post... 😀

    WC looking any good?

    Panti (Krul)
    Kosc Bertrand Jones (PVA Wisdom)
    Hazard Sanchez DiMaria Puncheon (Boyd)
    Aguero Giroud Defoe

    PVA will probably come on for Sanchez this week... but I thought about going with Cazorla or Walcott... only problem is I couldn't afford to buy Sanchez back, so not really sure about that, bit risky...

    Took out Terry last minute, so no Chelsea defense is a worry, but I need to play catch up so it's a calculated risk...

    Any other glaring errors?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I like it....I think if that were my team I'd ditch Sanchez temporarily, but I take way too many risks.

      Good luck mate, good team. 🙂

      Captain?

    2. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't waste money on Sanchez and Aguero now.

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        But I understand the logic on having one of them on bench for this week.

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty similar to mine , so like. Also holding Sanchez , got him "cheap"

  18. Overlordleo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I have settled on a WC team, captaincy choice, but I still have one more problem.

    Start Terry or PvA this week? Both got home games, but Chelsea is up against Man C (2,05 goals/match) while Sunderland is facing Burnley (0,95 goals/match). I could also start both and bench Puncheon or Aguero, but that seems stupid. Thanks! 🙂

    1. peanut101
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      terry

    2. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      probably bench PvA, even though its tough.

    3. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      start Terry

    4. Overlordleo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Guess I will start Terry then, thanks! 🙂

    Want to invest in Stoke Defense, but having trouble predicting who's locked-on going forward,

    Plus I'm in a draft league, and one of my buds already has Wollscheid, so he's off limits...

    Any thoughts? Muniesa?

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wolschied

    3. A La Pelle
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Long term, Pieters will take Muniesa's place alongside Wollscheid once fit I believe...

  20. Tomlette Greggs

    seen a lot of people have dumped Sanchez from their Wildcard teams, sacrificing ther price advantage on him.
    Any further news on him?

    And as my second Arsenal attacker alongside Sanchez ---- Walcott OR Cazorla?

    9 years, 4 months ago

    hi guys, few last wildcard questions please!

    Panti and Baird or Foster and PvA?

    Also 3 Arsenal attackers or swap Cazorla for someone and get Bellerin?

    Cheeeeeeeeeeers!

    1. Santi sensei
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going 3 Arsenal Attackers (Caz,Walcott and Gru)
      Foster and Pva

    2. Super Silva Haze
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Pants and Wisdom
      pva first sub for Sanchez

      1. FISSH

        cheers, i think im going Kane first sub for Sanchez

  24. Camp No No

    Any news on ManU's probable lineup, Sanchez's availability, or snow causing matches to be cancelled?

  25. snowman
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    PVA or JWP or Silva to start?

  26. mikess
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bellerin or Wisdom

    Already own Baird

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bellerin

    2. timmyp
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      An alternative approach to wc:
      Probably top heavy in defence, but finding it really hard to choose 3 of the 4 'big guns'. They all have good fixtures coming up, and can swap out at any stage.

      foster, pants
      ivan, kosc, jones, clyne, baird
      ADM, sanchez, haz, jonhson, lucas
      giroud, aguero, kane

      Any opinions greatly appreciated

    1. Je suis le chat
