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 admit it's a crying call between them - but Moses makes the most key passes in the team and is only second to Bojan in shots per game. I reason my choice of Moses (and more) here: http://chubbyalonso.com/2015/01/31/sweat-my-squad-easy-peasy-or-lemon-squeezy-gameweek-23/ if you're keen - check it!

    Here is a fun fact.. Fonte has had more penalty box touches and 3 times as many shots in the box as bertrand over the season 😯 .. how has he not gotten any attacking points?

        Never mind, read that as Alderweireld. Although Fonte did have a goal changed to an OG iirc

      Fonte's are headers, Bertrand's are generally better chances.

      Because he only comes up for corners when there are more players in the box?

        He does have a history of attacking returns.. 0 goals and assists really is a poor showing for him this season. especially with around 10 shots in the box

      Because most if his touches are off set pieces compared to bertrands on play touches, where you have a bigger chance if doing something
