After Raheem Sterling provided us with a winner last week, we go up against Paddy Power in confident mood this morning. A Leicester out-of-position defender with an eye for goal, Manchester City’s midfield magician and Swansea’s goal scoring hero from last week are all backed this time around.

We begin with the bottom side Leicester and the versatile Jeffrey Schlupp, who again looks set to start on the left of a four-man midfield as the Foxes entertain Crystal Palace. The Ghanaian has already found the net three times this season, and with the hosts having kept clean sheets in two of their last three home matches in all competitions, we’re happy to stick £3 on the 12/1 Paddy are offering on Schlupp to score and Leicester to keep a clean sheet.

After scoring his seventh Premier League goal of the season against Chelsea, a home encounter against Hull brings David Silva onto our radar. City managed to find the net four times when they visited the KC earlier this season, and with the Tigers failing to score in 11 of their last 15 league outings, the 3/1 Paddy are offering on Silva to score and City to keep a clean sheet looks worthy of another £3 investment.

Our final bet comes from the Liberty clash between Swansea and Sunderland. The Swans survived a stern examination by Southampton last week and took all three points thanks to a late strike from Jonjo Shelvey, who is benefitting from playing in “the hole” behind Bafetimbi Gomis as a result of Gylfi Sigurdsson’s suspension. With the hosts having kept five clean sheets at the Liberty this season, all against sides in the bottom half, the 8/1 Paddy are offering on Shelvey to score and Swansea to keep a clean sheet is our bet of the week, taking our final £4.

    on a more serious note...
    ---------------------- Courtois -----------------------
    ------ Wisdom --- Kompany -- Naughton -----
    ---- Hazard -- Cazorla -- Eriksen -- Silva -----
    ------------ Aguero -- Kane -- Giroud ------------

    (Krul; Ameobi, PVA, Bellerin)
    On my wildcard.. 2.9m in the bank to do Cazorla > Sanchez if I see he is starting against Leicester.

    Courtois gives me 4DGWers to bench on GW27 with Krul coming in for Villa at home.

    About to hit the hay, bar the expensive keeper combo am I good to go??

      Would be nice to have a Southampton defender but otherwise looks GTG

    Just woke up from a dream where Baird got his place back and clean sheeted this weekend.

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

      I think that'll actually happen.

  4. Hubert
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Start PVA or Wisdom?

    Have it on PVA at the moment

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

    Have it on Wisdom right now.. Swansea's lack of Bony/Siggy is swaying me in PVAs favour

    1. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

    1. TheOneAndOnly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Id be worried about Sanchez return

      1. Curly619
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        But still alright besides that ? Or should i go Elia to Ameobi ,Terry - Bellirin and Gomis - Giroud is 4 attacking players in 1 game to many ?

        How long with Bellerin keep his spot ? is he warming it ?

  8. The Blackadder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Those with Sanchez, starting him? Risking 5 min cameo if in squad or benching?

    1. Four Four Boyz
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He wont come on for 5 mins, but might if we are losing with 20 mins to go!

  9. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Midfield is:

    Sanchez JWP Haz ADM (Boyd)

    Planning on holding Sanchez as TV isn't great so can't spare the 0.5 to get him back. With my 1FT should I do:

    a) ADM > Silva/Caz
    b) Boyd > Mane (bench JWP and he can come in if Sanchez doesn't play and Burnley's fixtures suck)

    So the very first post I saw yesterday morning was how @Ruth_NZ didn't want to argue about their assertion that there would be no price rises last night. I see the name mentioned a lot. Are they a known fool?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think Ruth_NZ said that. She's a very intelligent poster

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        She!?! 😯

          I've never known a bloke to be called Ruth

      2. mookie

        +1...

  11. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Feck it, let's try cheap defence now, Bellerin in.

    Who to start?

    a) Baird

    b) Wasilevski

  12. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Would appreciate insights on Ayoze Perez situation. He has started like last 15 GWs. Is Cisse a threat for him or are they likely to play with 2 strikers?

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think Ayoze can play/played as a winger as well. New manager so who knows.

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

      I won't worry about him. Their best player over last 10 GW, very intelligent. Just need experience.

      He will start. They will accommodate him in midfield if necessary.

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

      1. Zombie
        • 13 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is Ivanovic worth the extra over Terry...any views ? Just can't find the funds for Ivanovic, seems to be so that in top 10k Terry is most owned Chelsea defender, so won't hurt relatively that much if Ivanovic assists...

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

      No funds don't ask. Game is above simplifying not complicating :p

    2. Sid07
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ivan is worth extra over terry, but if u cant find funds terry is good engh
