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.

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

        I plan to bench 1 of Puncheon/Kane/Moses each week? Just had enough of Boyd as my 5th mid

    4. TheBabyfacedAssassin
      • 14 Years

      4th or 5th midfielder? 4th Mané (not this week) / 5th Moses

    Morning,

    I send out a heartfelt plea to you all. In November I was top of my mini-league. Loving each gameweek as it came. Then, after some appalling decisions, I have slumped to 4th, and over 80pts from top. I've used my wildcard with no effect, made both Giroud cpt the day he was sent off, then Mirallas last time out when he missed the pen, and was subbed at half time. I put Cazorla in, then took him out, against City. It's been a bad few months.

    My question is this. Will falcao start. And if so, will he score. Help me Obi wan Kenobi's you are my only hope.

    Cheers

    Stu

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He may start. He won't score.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You're team is probably fine, we obsess about strikers yet cheapie defenders with good fixtures score as well. If you can get out 11 players this week and pick a conservative captain (nailed starter) eg Carzola/ADM you should be good to go.

    3. Ron Swansea City
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have a very similar story, which has led me to sell Falcao for Dwight Gayle & change this week. Haven't fallen out of first yet, but Mirallas hurt me pretty bad too.

      I'm saying no to Falcao, and not looking back even if he scores this week, but that's just me. Best of luck to you.

  3. Bojaninho
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kane or Defoe for the next 4 weeks..?

    1. omibrahimom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      defoe for sure.

      check me out below

    Repost Sorry.
    Can anyone give me feedback on the following:
    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

    1. Sunden
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Don't like lucas at 5th mid. Other than that I like it

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

        Not much else available for 4.3!!

    2. cowstria
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      too strong at the back I think.

      Lucas is not worth it, go with clyne or JWP.

      and give feedback too maybe?

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

        Constrained by price with Lucas unfortunately.
        Maybe Cork now he's off to Swansea??
        Feedback Comment Valid, thanks

  5. Delhidynamo

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

        Start sanchez ahead of him?

        I fear he might come on as a sub if the lead is narrow

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

          Surely if he's fit he'll start?

      I wouldn't trust the game time of Bellerin and Baird. Perhaps sell one of them for another option which is more reliable?

  26. Ryan

    For a one week punt which is the best option (WC next GW)

    A) Chadlii -> Caz/Ramsey (c)

    B) Kane -> Giroud (c)

    I bought Kane for 5m but I feel as if Giroud is the better captain. Tough choice, so I'd appreciate any help
