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.

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on if you already have Arsenal coverage

      1. Efan Ekoku Pops
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Got Giroud.

    5. weaver93

    6. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      1. Efan Ekoku Pops
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Giroud, Kane, Austin

        1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          if thats the case i would go with a 3-4-3 and not take a hit!!.....imo

  8. Connor Wickham
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Retry...

    a) Pelle + Giroud + Sterling

    b) Rooney + Wally + Kane?

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years

    is baird going to hold his place?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      don't think so

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Who will displace him?

  10. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Predicted minutes for Mane ?

    Would you get him over Puncheon ?

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      puncheon for now...

    2. Atters
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I've got him, he's fit to start and even if he doesn't he's an impact of the bench if Southampton aren't winning he'll come on early and if they are comfortably he may well add to the lead, good risk imo

  11. http.naypex
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez and austin > giroud and wally worth a hit (-4)

    1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Benching sanchez for a week is not a bad idea as he will be very hard to purchase again..but thats me as i have him way back..

      1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

  28. Marty McFly

    Baird too big a risk? I have Ivan, Berty, Trippier and PvA...

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

      Maybe. Try Wisdom

  29. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    On Wild card. Which option is better?

    A. Gardos and Sterling (0,0m in bank)

    B. Bertrand and Puncheon (plus 1,6m in bank for flexibility later)

    Thanks.

    1. Gooner97

      B

  30. Sarnab
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Baird at 3.9

    or

    Wisdom at 4.5

    Basically, is Baird nailed on?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Baird a risk imo

    2. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If he starts today it's fair to assume the position is his to lose as he'd have started all the league games under Pulis.
