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 am living on the edge. Could end up with 2 playing defenders this gameweek. Shaw, Cameron and Baird not nailed. Nervous times ahead.

    1. Crabwalk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      At least 1 out of those will play and probably do well. Don't worry.

      1. Mahesh_Kumar

        Thanks. Seems Carrick is injured. That should guarantee Shaw a start. Fingers crossed.

    1. Santi sensei

      With this site? Every time I posted earlier this morning I got an error page seems better now

      It's our host. They had some major difficulties across their network. They've got us back up but I guess there will be a few errors now and again while things settle.

  12. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Foster / Myhill
    Azpilicueta, Clyne, van Aanholt / Wisdom, Hutton
    Sanchez, Hazard, Cazorla, Di Maria / Boyd
    Agüero, Giroud, Kane

    I'm 0.1 short of this team...

    Who would you downgrade ?

    1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      wisdom to baird?

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'm not sure if he's nailed

        1. Corkyote FFS CWC Champion 2…
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          5th defender though, worth the risk?

          1. Lyonnais
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Could be worth it as I've also Foster.

    2. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Boyd-> 4.5m

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, could do this. But I need a good 5th mid if Sanchez is out.

        1. A La Pelle
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Should get Sanchez. Then Sanchez would auto sub in for Sanchez too...

    3. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      And is Azpi a good pick ?
      Or should I go with Terry instead ?

    Okay, how’s the WC team looking? Gone for something different…had Falcao but swapped him with RVP after rumours that he might be replaced in the starting 11.

    Foster (Hamer)
    Terry Wollschied Bellerin (PVA, Wisdom)
    Hazard Coutinho Cazorla Puncheon (Ameobi)
    Giroud(VC) Aguero RVP(C)

  15. Hi guys 2. Questions please

    1 will Chadli play today
    And
    2. If not who do you think is the best switch ADM, Walcott or Cazorla
    Thanks

  16. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is Foster + Pantilimon a good GK combo?

  17. Zep
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Wrong post... 😀

    WC looking any good?

    Panti (Krul)
    Kosc Bertrand Jones (PVA Wisdom)
    Hazard Sanchez DiMaria Puncheon (Boyd)
    Aguero Giroud Defoe

    PVA will probably come on for Sanchez this week... but I thought about going with Cazorla or Walcott... only problem is I couldn't afford to buy Sanchez back, so not really sure about that, bit risky...

    Took out Terry last minute, so no Chelsea defense is a worry, but I need to play catch up so it's a calculated risk...

    Any other glaring errors?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I like it....I think if that were my team I'd ditch Sanchez temporarily, but I take way too many risks.

      Good luck mate, good team. 🙂

      Captain?

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't waste money on Sanchez and Aguero now.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        But I understand the logic on having one of them on bench for this week.

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty similar to mine , so like. Also holding Sanchez , got him "cheap"

  18. Overlordleo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I have settled on a WC team, captaincy choice, but I still have one more problem.

    Start Terry or PvA this week? Both got home games, but Chelsea is up against Man C (2,05 goals/match) while Sunderland is facing Burnley (0,95 goals/match). I could also start both and bench Puncheon or Aguero, but that seems stupid. Thanks! 🙂

    1. peanut101
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      terry

    2. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      probably bench PvA, even though its tough.

    3. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      start Terry

    4. Overlordleo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Guess I will start Terry then, thanks! 🙂

  19. Ron Swansea City

    Want to invest in Stoke Defense, but having trouble predicting who's locked-on going forward,

    Plus I'm in a draft league, and one of my buds already has Wollscheid, so he's off limits...

    Any thoughts? Muniesa?

    1. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      ShawX

    2. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wolschied

    3. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Long term, Pieters will take Muniesa's place alongside Wollscheid once fit I believe...

  20. Tomlette Greggs

    seen a lot of people have dumped Sanchez from their Wildcard teams, sacrificing ther price advantage on him.
    Any further news on him?

  23. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    hi guys, few last wildcard questions please!

    Panti and Baird or Foster and PvA?

    Also 3 Arsenal attackers or swap Cazorla for someone and get Bellerin?

    Cheeeeeeeeeeers!

    1. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going 3 Arsenal Attackers (Caz,Walcott and Gru)
      Foster and Pva

    2. Super Silva
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pants and Wisdom
      pva first sub for Sanchez

      1. FISSH

        cheers, i think im going Kane first sub for Sanchez

  24. Camp No No
    • 12 Years

    Any news on ManU's probable lineup, Sanchez's availability, or snow causing matches to be cancelled?

  25. snowman
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    PVA or JWP or Silva to start?

  26. mikess
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Bellerin or Wisdom

    Already own Baird

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin

    2. timmyp
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      An alternative approach to wc:
      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

      Any opinions greatly appreciated

    Do I take hit -4 and swap him for Santi C ? Keep in mind already got Giroud and sanchez

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years

      I've the same dilemma, playing Gerrard. Might bring in Kos or Per for -4 though.

    Manchester United's fixtures look tempting but I don't trust the game time of some options or the positioning or form of those that do play. Frustrating.

    Is there a chance the Arsenal game will get Postponed? I have Sanchez (C) Giroud (VC)
