The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 23

2,534 Comments
Share

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.

      Posted this earlier.. in the 10 home games Pelle played at St.Mary's after his debut he scored 7 goals and 3 assists.. blanking just 3 times at home vs MCY, CHE, ARS... expect a haul.
      Villa have conceded under a goal a game over the last 5 away games.. Dont expect a trashing

      I'm very confused with this Sanchez harmstring problems :/ Is it really so serious for Wenger to bench him for tommorow? If so, is there a risk for cameo in latter phases of the game for just 1 point? I'm benching JWP as a possible replacement but really tempted to start him because the lad is in good shape and Swansea are poor on away games .. Any Arsenal fans to help?

      My squad is like:
      Panti/Adrian
      Clyne,Berty,Moreno/Wisdom,FLuis
      Chadli,Silva,Haz,Sanchez/JWP
      Kane,Kun(c),Austin(vc)

            I think Sanchez will be rested now Wenger has options. Are have paid a tonne of cash to keep Theo and he is due to start after a long time on the bench. He is better placed to start than Fabs anyway and is good at scoring goals... I didn't have the cash so got Caz instead

          Don´t get your feelings hurt if Wenger avoids the two weak links (Mesut Özil & Theo) and opts to go with much better form of Rosicky out wide, or even through Santi wide to cater to Özil.

      I know it must have been asked 1.000 times already but I just managed to find time for my team and access the site after days!

      When is the last that I can use my Jan wildcard? Can I do it after the gameweek has started and at least up until the EPL transfer deadline?

      Thank you so much in advance for your reply and time. Apologies if this is the 1000 time you answer this

        I would advise you to bench Terry and Baird. But won't have balls to bench Terry myself:-)
