In an attempt to outfox Paddy this week, we’ve backed Manchester City’s elusive playmaker, Burnley’s talismanic striker and Newcastle’s top scorer to find their range this weekend.

Newcastle’s home clash against Aston Villa has us eyeing up Senegalese forward Papiss Cisse in our first wager of the week. The rangy frontman has recorded six goals in his last ten outings, scoring on average every 84 minutes. Moreover, Cisse has notched three braces so far this term, of which two were achieved in second-half cameos. As such, we think Paddy’s 10/1 odds on Cisse to score two or more goals against Tim Sherwood’s side are worthy of our first £3 investment.

We’re putting faith in Danny Ings to spark a Burnley win on Saturday as they host Swansea City at Turf Moor. Ings has been a revelation for the Clarets and approaches this fixture in great shape, having tallied five goals in their previous seven matches. The fact he’s scored in each of Burnley’s last three home clashes gives us further reason to part with another £3 and snap up Paddy’s 9/1 offer on Ings to score two or more goals against Swansea.

Our last, and favourite, bet this week has us backing David Silva to build upon last weekend’s brace and deliver a dominant performance at Anfield. The Spanish midfielder has netted three times in his previous four outings and proved his capacity to influence big matches with his goal at Stamford Bridge last month. With the 29-year-old in such fine form, we’re happy to take up Paddy’s 11/4 offer on Silva to score against Liverpool and hand over our remaining £4.

    Everybody got 11 starters?

    1. Breadbin
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Looks that way.

    2. Norco
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, as long as PvA starts... so actually maybe 10.

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yes, but might have to play Pants up front.

      1. JJO
        11 years, 8 months ago

        This

    4. Clump
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe 9, probably 10, possibly 11.
      Not stressing. Rather that than hits for defence.
      Expect a poor week all around.

      1. JJO
        11 years, 8 months ago

        And this
        Dont see that def for 4,2 or less that will bring me 5+ points
        And dont want to lose Terry,Haz or Kane

    11 years, 8 months ago

    Will this do? Should get at least 10 out.

    Krul
    Naughton Clyne Wolly PVA
    Boyd Sanchez Cazorla Silva
    Aguero Defoe

    Anything worth a hit? I'm guessing not? 🙂

    1. Tommytour
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Nothing worth it

  5. Woy of the Wovers
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Good to see the Fantasy Flutter going with a few more traditional bets.

      Ok.

  8. Federico
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Need Cameron, van Aanholt AND Bellerin to play, to have 11. Time for a hit?

    Not sure what to do between PVA/Cameron -> McShane/Naughton/4.3

    Any help appreciated.

    1. Pitch Invasion
      11 years, 8 months ago

      No hits for defenders.

      1. Federico
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Could be the right time to ship out the deadwood. But it's just a minefield figuring out who to sell, so I guess you're right.

        Thanks, and good luck to you.

    2. Tommytour
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Cameron > Naughton for sure

  9. simosalminen
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Any news on Jones - will he start?

  10. RubeRx

    Any chance Giroud gets dropped after his CL performance?

    1. mipola
      11 years, 8 months ago

      There is a chance.

    2. Tommytour
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I'm more worried about midweek

    3. The Blackadder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I don't think so, at least he was getting in the positions to miss them.

  11. Pitch Invasion
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Best Wisdom replacement for similar value?

    1. mipola
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Dawson,Naughton,Haidara.

  12. Jones Town
    11 years, 8 months ago

    I'm on a plane that takes off in 10 minutes, landing after deadline... Currently have the captain's armband on Rooney!

    Stick or switch to Aguero/Sanchez?!

    1. Pitch Invasion
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Both Aguero and Sanchez better options. I'm going sanchez

    2. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 8 months ago

      stick

  13. Mahesh_Kumar
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Is it true Sanchez has had 0 shots on target in the last 4 gameweeks?

        Nah. Just spent the last 21 days gazing in wonder at my WC team 🙂

  15. Transient Anus
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Dame N'Doye
    90 goals in 143 league games. So eager to play in england he took a 500k a year pay cut. Completely bossed his first two games. 2 goals and an assist and a much needed 6 points. Looks right up for relegation scrap. Great signing for Steve Bruce and me 🙂

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Captain him 😉

      1. Transient Anus
        11 years, 8 months ago

        actually considered it 🙂 he wants to become the first hull player to score in his first three games

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Did he tell you that? 🙂

          1. Transient Anus
            11 years, 8 months ago

            no smartarse all the pundits are talking about it and I doubt he's listening and thinking na I don't like records 😀

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              11 years, 8 months ago

              😉

        2. Billy Gilmore

          He's already played 3 games for Hull

          1. Transient Anus

            sorry starts not games

    2. Tommytour

      Reckon Sterling will start Burnley? Just bought him in

      1. Transient Anus
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Should do yeah. I have him too so hope so 🙂

    3. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Great signing. That record wow. Where did he play before? In what league ?

      1. Transient Anus
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Denmark and Russia. Has done the biz vs top teams in champions league and for senegol too

        1. Billy Gilmore
          11 years, 8 months ago

          He's 2 in 8 CL matches and his record for Senegal is pretty ordinary too.

          I think he'll be the next Ulloa

          1. Transient Anus
            11 years, 8 months ago

            we'll see. You doubted me on Pelle after 2 goals in two games 😉

    4. Holmes
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Tempted 😮

    5. mookie
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Good luck with him(i've just sold him)

      1. Transient Anus
        11 years, 8 months ago

        😯 why?

        1. mookie
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Sold him for Rooney. I feel i've got lucky with his points and don't want to push my luck, he does play for Hull afterall.

  16. GoonerByron
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Punt on Barnes captain over Di Maria today in Ultimate FPL? 😀

    Have the usual suspects like Sanchez and Aguero to give it to tomorrow if it fails..

    1. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 8 months ago

      He will score. my stats tables shows he is due a goal

      1. GoonerByron
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Only thing is Di Maria seems to get points out of absolutely nowhere in that game.

    Krul

  18. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 8 months ago

    This week is a good week to make mini surgery to your team for a lower cost. What about Hazard and Walcott out Silva and Sterling in? I kind of like it atm. It will be 2pt hit practically

    1. Tommytour
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I did Hazard > Sterling 🙂

      Live dangerously

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 8 months ago

        He has Burnley next week and Silva has Lei. Both good bets

        1. Tommytour
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Got them both 😉

        Walcott should? Oh my. And cazorla? Wally headache 🙁

      Aguero. Saves time switching it.

    4. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Di Maria - Even if he has an off game he'll prob get points.

    5. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Kun.

      Liverpools defence has been leading a charmed life. They'll get found out today I think.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        11 years, 8 months ago

        They play tomorrow.

    6. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Walcott.

      Feeling ballsy 😆

    7. Demí
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero. Looks to be approaching top form and i can see a fair few goals in the game. Not much chance of him being taken off early like in the Newcastle game

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Demi you think there will be goals in that game? Really?

        1. Demí
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Yes, that's what it says

          1. FPL Daniel
            11 years, 8 months ago

            It will be tight game. Thinking of punting on Silva and Sterling and wanted to know your opinion if there will be any goals in that. If that is true my punt should be good no?

            1. Demí
              11 years, 8 months ago

              I don't know if it's true, just my opinion. Your opinion on a tight game might be a better one. Go with your gut

          2. Fitzy.
            11 years, 8 months ago

            😆

            Careful, he'll blame you if he captains Kun and it's low scoring.

      Aguero, rivals in mini league don't have him

      Im going Mané. I don't know why! Am I being stupid?

    13. Revival

      11 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez, safest option. Worried over Giroud's minutes this weekend and Aguero and Silva have tough away game

      San(c)hez, obv.

    15. kalmoffit
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero. It's impossible to pick where he'll score. Keep him as captain, he'll be top points scorer anyway.

      Sturridge. City's defence is mince.

    17. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Falcao. RVP is out and hoping he will react to LVGs comments about missing a 20goal striker

    18. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero - feels safer than Sanchez or Øzil

    19. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Alexis bc Kun will be well over 80%

    20. Barry Woj
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Aguero. He's starting look like his old self again. Arsenal are the only team with any other players that I'd captain and with Sanchez out of form, Giroud having a shocker and Cazorla relying on pens I don't fancy risking the C on them.

    21. Ruth_NZ
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney. Back playing upfront against Sunderland at Old Trafford. In any other season he'd be the obvious choice.

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Well played. (So far...)

    22. Dvorak-RTH
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney
      He gonna play upfront
      On pens
      ManU at home

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 8 months ago

        ...turned out those were all the right answers. Good job!

    23. A-VB
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Jon Walters, was the initial choice I made. But then I chose the reasonable security of Aguero.

      Besides, if Walters indeed scores aplenty this week, that will be a major differential anyway, that is even without the armband. However if he does not and Aguero does then my 20K rank will convert itself to 220K in no time!

  24. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Hutton injured. Down to 10 starters then. Worth using my FT?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Not really.

    2. Breadbin
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Not if it ensures a -4 next week that you'd have otherwise avoided.

    3. Hy liverpool
      11 years, 8 months ago

      No he may play

    4. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Touch and go he said, with the other injuries they've got i'm sure they'll try and get him out there.

  25. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
    11 years, 8 months ago

    A. Azpi -> Wolly or Pieters

    B. Azpi -> Dawson or Lescott (already have Foster..)

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      11 years, 8 months ago

      B

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Innsie, do you think your FFS name is adding a lot of credibility to your advice?

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Everyone hits a bad patch..doesn't mean he does not give good advice...

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            11 years, 8 months ago

            I quite agree.

        2. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Ooow Burn. Still got a great rank though...

        3. President John F. Keninnsie
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I was actually wondering that before. Most of the guys on here know me though and can understand I'm just going through a rough patch. The name is mainly for humour purposes.

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            11 years, 8 months ago

            It wasn't meant as a criticism or a dig. Probably could have expressed the question better.

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              11 years, 8 months ago

              No worries.

      2. Moin

        This

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Depends on how they rotate with your other defenders really
      probably B though, more coverage

      1. mookie
        11 years, 8 months ago

        ^this

  26. Marknlard
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Do we reckon Bellerin is going to start? I have one FT left to play. Would prefer to roll it over but I've no subs if Bellerin (or any other b*gger like Cazorla) misses out.

    1. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Just hope like the rest of us, i wouldnt transfer out atm

      1. Marknlard
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, 10 players this week isn't that unusual I guess. Probably better to save the transfer for a definite problem rather than potential.

  27. Just A Wooden Spoon
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Can I get a quick RMT:

    Panti
    Bertrand, Clyne, Dawson, PvA
    Sanchez, Cazorla, Boyd, Silva
    Aguero, Sakho

    Subs: Hamer, Terry, Hazard, Kane

    ?

    1. Sean.

      Better than most 😉

  28. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 8 months ago

    From team news:

    "Oxlade-Chamberlain offers Wenger a further option in one of the central midfield roles, or indeed in the wide position currently occupied by Danny Welbeck. Theo Walcott will also be looking for a recall to the side, though another bench appearance seems likely, with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez ahead in the pecking order. Should Wenger rotate elsewhere, Tomas Rosicky could come into the side in one of the central midfield spots, perhaps pushing Santi Cazorla further forward or even to the bench. "

    Really a nightmare. We as fantasy managers beg for nothing close to this

    1. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      11 years, 8 months ago

      As an Ozil owner I like this news.

    2. kalmoffit
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Oxlade Chamberlain will be in the doghouse, losing the ball then failing to stay with the runner.

      1. Demí
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Nah

    3. Ruth_NZ
      11 years, 8 months ago

      ...and that's why I have zero Arsenal in my squad.

  29. AllyS
    11 years, 8 months ago

    2 ft this week so PVA to Jones for 1 week punt? Still leaves me 2 ft for dgw

    1. FootballGeorge
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yes
