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.

    RMT

    Panti (Krul)

    Zouma - Kompany - Wisdom (PVA - Clyne)

    Hazard - Silva - Cazorla - Puncheon (Sanchez)

    Aguero - Kane - Giroud

    Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

      v nice

    2. Norco

      Reckon QPR will be firing with their manager situation?

    I took my 5th -4 hit for the season this week (Sanchez > Silva). I can only hope I break the curse of a bad game week when taking a -4 hit.

    GW4: -4 hit -- GR: 2,171,328 / OR: 386,816 (red arrow)
    GW13: -4 hit -- GR: 1,803,866 / OR: 1,771 (red arrow)
    GW16: -4 hit -- GR: 2,436,998 / OR: 7,536 (red arrow)
    GW19: -4 hit -- GR: 966,365 / OR: 8,125 (red arrow)

    This season so far, 8 red arrows (4 / 4 red arrows when a hit was taken)

    So, GW24: -4 hit... can only hope for a green arrow! This game stresses me out too much.

      Hits are bad mmmkay.

      you must have had an awesome gameweek 5-12 period, 386816 to higher than 1771 !!

    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 tbh)

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

      I like B.

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

      Mmm yeah Burnley's fixtures do such after this week... I'll probably be looking at shipping Boyd sometime if I have a spare transfer. Though at least he is a guaranteed starting which is what you want from a 5th mid.

  4. HarryS

    Best midfielder for £7.1?

    (C) Chadli + Berahino > Puncheon + Giroud
    (D) Berahino > Defoe

    Last Time, Final Wildcard Draft: 2.9m in the bank

    ---------------------- Courtois -----------------------
    ------ Wisdom --- Kompany -- Naughton -----
    ---- Hazard -- Cazorla -- Eriksen -- Silva -----
    ------------ Aguero -- Kane -- Giroud ------------

    (Krul; Ameobi, PVA, Bellerin)

    All set??

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

      Yes. Love the Kompany pick.

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

        Cheers, Im liking d look of him in my team also 🙂 ok quick snooze before kick off

        1. Kevin McCallister
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'm on wildcard and just ditched Wisdom due to uncertainty of starts.

          Apart from that, looks good. Like the Courtois pick to bench 4 I'n GW27.

  10. Zasa
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any input on my final draft before I hit the hay gents? Any thoughts appreciated, cheers mates 😛
    Last minute tinkering here, 1.4m ITB

    Panti/Krul
    Belle - Zouma - Clichy (Wisdom, PvA)

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

      3 risky defenders mate. If they get benched in same week, GW will be over. Get a Saints defender for one of them

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

        Fonte in for Clichy wold give me an extra .1m for the Sanchez fund, could be worth it. Saints defensive ownership puts me off though.

        Jones maybe?

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

          Dont think Fonte has high ownership. Jones is good pick too. It was between him and Fonte, going with Bellerin 😛

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

            The team as a whole does though, 1 or 2 points from BAPs is it IMO.
            Thanks for the input Holmes, and good luck on our WC!

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

              Good Luck! 🙂 #100pointer incoming 😉

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

                Let's hope so Holmes, ese

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I fear you only have one nailed on defender.

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

        Aye, surely worth the risk though no? I'm certain Clichy will get his share of attacking return in these next few and City are up for a turn in form fwiw. I'm certain they'll hold the line in the back, this may be daft fwiw

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Clichy will be rotated, that's almost certain. I expect Kolarov to play tonight. Not sure I'd pick him.

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I'd prefer Naughton or a Saint. And I'd choose Wollscheid over Wisdom.

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

              Fear you may be right on this Inns, I could be in for a reckoning soon. Hopefully Aleks bugs off and stays where he belongs

              Thanks for the insight man, will tell you what I do in the next DZ

              1. President John F. Keninnsie
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Cool. Good luck this week.

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

                  You too man, hopefully we won't need it eh? 😛

                  1. President John F. Keninnsie
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    I need all the luck I can get at the moment 😆

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

                      😆 You'll do good man, don't ya worry

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I thought my defence was risky 😯

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

        Hehe 😯 I know, I know 😛 I hope it works though man, worst case scenario I have to use my other WC if Chelsea have a DGW on Gw28 and do some damage control.

        How's your backline looking Billy?

    Total LOL. Analysed every sub 6m mid because my Walters is doubtful. Guess what... keeping him!

    1. Breadbin

      Lolololol

      1. Kurtinho

        Breadbin - is that you in your grav?

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Ward-Prowse. Moses.

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

        I worry Walters injury I worry more of JWP game time. Moses is good call but since I got Walt for 5.2 I might as well stick. Moses has stats like Navas, just not coming through.

    On WC .0 in the bank !

    Thoughts wanted

    Courtois

    Kompany Lescott Naughton

    Hazard Silva Cazorla Eriksen

    Aguero Giroud Kane

    ----------------------------------------
    Krul Ameobi Wollschied PVA

    Is it worth playing Ameobi over Giroud this gw ? Don't like having 4 attackers in one game or is Giroud more likely to score ?

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

      Don't be crazy, just play Giroud.

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

      Wollscheid + Lescott > Bellerin + Wisdom and you have my wildcard team, see above..

      Im glad I finally saw some1 else with Courtois/Krul/Kompany 🙂

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

        Is Bellerin going to be there for a while ? Seems good value if so

        Tempted by ADM could go Courtois - Pantillmon/Foster for that what do you think ?

  22. mipola
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Do Chadli ➡ Silva for -4 or keep him?

    1. McNulty
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Take the hit

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky. That one is nearly worth it.

    4. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      My thoughts think I'm taking the hit. Gona have to get rid / tough fixture / might not start / Silva better fixture

    5. mipola
      • 13 Years

      Unanimous, Thanks all!

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

          I don't think you'd go wrong with any of them to be honest. More inclined to say Ozil or Cazorla just that Wally's minutes might be fostered.

          1. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years

      Hope so i just got him. No reason why he shouldn't. Depending on where you saw this preview they likely just look at the last lineup and take an uneducated guess

    Best striker for 6.3?

      Kane, Gayle, Ayoze/Cisse

        I've got Kane. Anyone fancy Defoe, Berahino, or Ings?

    Are Stoke full backs Muniesa and Bardsley nailed on?

      No. Competition from pieters and cameron i think

      Bardsley is I think

      Looks like Bardsley is. Wilson played ahead of Muniesa in the last two and i think they're both behind Pieters. Could play at CB while Shawcross is out though.

    Would you start Wisdom or PVA this week?

    Wisdom has marginally the better fixture I think, but I've seen rumors that Wisdom may be dropped and PVA is the more attacking full back. Also, SWA don't look great going forwards without Siggy & Bony.
