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.

    Kane Aguero Giroud

    1) Should I keep Sterling or switch to another 8.5 mid?
    2) Should I play Walters or Kane?

    thanks!

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Replace Fab with Walcott or Cazorla and it looks manageable for this week I reckon.

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

        It's 10pm!

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          So?

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Just got home from the nines. I'm tired and need to sort my FPL team out.

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

      You're copying me again! 😀 I'm struggling to know what to do too. Will probably roll the dice and hope for the best. 😕

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 10 Years

        🙂

    4. Billy Ketsu
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I did Fab > Santi. I had no clue what to do either but that seemed like a good idea.

  7. HappyMonday
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why is no one buying Elia?

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

      because he had one good game and now mane is back

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

      Mane's back

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

      Returning Saints players, Mane, Tadic... risk on minutes.

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

      I have Elia and I will be hiding behind the couch tomorrow. I was hoping Mane will not be available for this gameweek

    It's snowing heavily. I live half an hour west of hull.

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

      So, matches to be cancelled.... Maybe the first one, Hull - Newcastle, at least?

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

        Probably won't be but I'm speculating.

        Hope I can make it to the ground ok!

    2. Billy Ketsu
      • 13 Years

      Half an hour west of Hull? You live in the sea? Blimey.

                Well, then, you ARE British. Hull is on the other side of the Pennines.

                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  There's nothing on the other side of the Pennines except mud, broken shopping trolleys and eels. At least that's what my grandmother said.

                    I've got some bad news for you. There are some who say that it is God's own County.

  17. ILOVEBAPS

    GTG guys? Any changes to bench?

    Panti

    1. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 10 Years

      I'd set up the same if that was my team, so I'm going yes and no.

  18. Skipdipper
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Snowing in Sutton. Near crystal palace's ground. Think any fixtures in danger? Temp is low enough to freeze it over night

  19. Vardy Gras PBFC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    All set for a disappointing gameweek? No WC, FT used, anything worth a hit?

    Krul
    Skrtel Keane Baines
    Sanchez Hazard(c) Downing Chadli
    Aguero Pelle Austin

    Foster Colback PvA Wisdom

    1. Jairzinho

      1. Vardy Gras PBFC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Colback to the rescue, I hope. Going with no Arsenal worries me but a hit after a WC just feels wrong..

  20. scotty_minto
    • 9 Years

    Can we play the january wildcard next week? Or does it have to be before this gameweek?

    1. Tomlette Greggs

    1. A) Silva & RVP or B) Di Maria & Aguero?

    2. I had bought Downing when he was 5.8 M not he is 6.6 M but has tough fixtures coming up. He is my fourth mid. Should I swap him for someone like Puncheon or hang on to him?

    Really need your help! Thanks 🙂
