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.

    • 14 Years

    Have only 7 guaranteed starts. 2 FT's. What to do?

    Foster (Myhill)
    PvA Bellerín Kompany Baird (Ivanovic)
    Ameobi Cazorla Sánchez (Hazard Eriksen)
    Agüero Benteke (Kane)

    Ameobi will prob play so thinking PvA -> Haidara.

    1. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Baird out before PVA I think

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Ouch. Maybe Baird to Haidara instead?

    3. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Haidara not a good long-term move. What about Naughton or Dawson?

    4. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Ivanovic to Clyne/Bert

      Save FT for next week.

      Not for a hit, no.

    2. Wiz

      No

    3. Demelbrush

  4. Demelbrush

    Only have 8 sure starters

    Worth a hit wassi > hairdara?

    1. Roysgotnoboys
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Hey chaps ... Terry vs Bertrand

      Fielding a team of 9/10... Was planning on saving the transfer so next week I can buy in Eriksen and Austin in for Benteke and Carzola.

      Knowing I will slip down the table this week Im looking at making one transfer. Is Terry > Bertrand a short -term mistake or a long term move? I do't want to sell Terry and buy him back for 0.2 more in 2 weeks time?

      Team ATM is

      Foster
      Baird, PVA, Kosc, Yun*
      Sanchez, Silva, Carzola, Downing
      Aguero (C), Benteke

      (Kane, Hazard, Terry)

      1. Demelbrush
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        reply fail?

      Nah.

    4. Delhidynamo

      No

    5. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Don't see that as being worth a hit to be honest.

    6. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      cheers. feels so bad going into a week with 8 doesn't it!

  5. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Quick question, for the rest of the season, team a or b?

    A
    Forster
    Terry clyne bellerin
    Sanchez hazard sterling silva
    Aguero GIROUD Kane

    B
    Forster
    Terry clyne bellerin
    Sanchez hazard sterling silva ERIKSON or ADM
    Aguero Kane

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Think I prefer 3-4-3

  6. coran2123
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    PVA to Dawson (still have 1FT), or wait til next GW?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Decent transfer but depends on the rest of the team. Free transfer next week is handy

      1. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        Already have Lloris and Kane in my team, not interested in Austin. So I only need 1FT for Walcott > Eriksen next week, so that's why I'm looking into this transfer

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Do it! 0-0 today!

      1. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        Southampton is goalshy right now, but surely Mane will do something if he gets played in the hole!

    3. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      I'll only make that transfer if I had 2FTs.

      Depends on how highly you rate WBA chances to get a clean sheet tbh.

      1. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        Not high, but I'd rather 2 points over PVA's potential 0/1. Long term move though, rotates well with my other defenders

        1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 15 days ago

          Well, then go for it. As a PVA owner, I'll be treating a 1pt cameo like him scoring a goal whiles bagging CS points.

  7. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    (C): Aguero or Sanchez ?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Aguero

    2. Wiz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Coin said Sanchez 😎

  8. jaredwilliams
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Ospina
    Bellerin - PVA - Naughton - Bruce - Clyne
    Sanchez - ADM - Sterling
    Aguero - Ings

    So many players playing against the opposition..

    Is this team worse than most or about par...

  9. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Anybody else still considering Walters captain?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Don't own him but don't think I'd choose him if it was my team

    2. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      I got him in but would never captain

  10. Nibbsy
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Play Foster or Krul?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Krul

  11. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    If Hutton plays I should have 11. Hooray. Anyone else mildly pessimistic about this week?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      I'm not pessimistic or optimistic. We really don't know how it's going to go. All in the same boat. Actually looking forward to it.

  12. Sue.
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Has Silva now become an elite midfield option? Or do you think he will revert back to his non-scoring ways?

    1. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      A couple of years back he was very consistent, but more recently he is on and off. I'm hoping he is getting back into a consistent groove.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Form and fixtures make him highly valued atm.

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Have to wait and see. I'll be keeping though. Has scored consistently for a while now

  13. safonso
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Anyone for Walters as captain???

    1. koza
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      i m confused between
      walters / cazorla / downing

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Aguero.

  14. G000ns
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Ings (C) yay or nay?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      You know.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Not for me but go for it

  15. Stannage
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Who to captain.....adm or kun??...

    1. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      kun

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      I have both. Going Aguero.

      1. safonso
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        Aguero??? Not with Liverpools defence form lately....

  16. koza
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Confused .. who to captain this week in between them .. ??
    cazorla
    Walter
    Downing

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Terrible choices but from that Walters would be my pick

      1. koza
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        don't want to go with obvious choices..
        simple as that what is terrible in that..??

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Cazorla.

      1. koza
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        Thanks again .. 🙂

    3. safonso
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Downing - no. He has been in poor form lately.
      OOOOO SANTI CAZZOOORLA! YES
      BUT
      I want to take a calculated risk with Walters cause I dont think many will choose him as captain but he has been playi g well?

      What do you think?

      1. koza
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        well that is a good point
        i think cazorla has been shifted to defensive midfielder role but he is giving point also
        but i also wanted to go for something different well now
        i can go for walters also

        but what to do with this guy cazorla 😛 😀

        now down to 2
        😛

    4. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Downing 😀 Best fixture west ham have had in a while. I've captained him before I think.

      1. koza
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        lol

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    I am not selling Hazard for just one pure reason. He has only 2 goals from penalties this year. That simply has to improve. We had plenty of penalties not given and Chelsea usual get around 10 penalties per year. Short term gain probably not worth it . Good luck all and walcott do your thing EXPLODE !!!

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Hazard only season keeper for me

    2. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Good luck. I sold Hazard.

  18. Takedog1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    whats the predicted arsenal back line?

      1. Takedog1
        • 12 Years

        thanks

  19. davies
    • 11 Years

    Team is ready and raring to go! 😀

    Krul
    Koscielny Clyne Dawson Naughton
    Sanchez ADM Cazorla Boyd
    Aguero (c) Defoe

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights

      11 years, 15 days ago

      Good luck, looking decent!

  20. Kno
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Silly to consider fielding just 10 players to get 2 free transfers for next week?

    I dont see any special point potential in the players I would bring in this week compared to the upside of having more transfers for next week

    1. Wiz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      You just answered your own question

    2. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Depends who the 10 are. I had to go for a full XI because I had Baird, and two Sunderland players.

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Not silly at all. Think you've made your mind up too!

    4. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      I would use a free frankly. I don't think there are than many players to get excited about for next week.

    5. Kno
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      cheers for the feedback, think I will go with my gut and save the transfer.

  21. Marty McFly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Mane (C) too big a risk? Alternatives are Sanchez, Aguero or ADM. I've been in free fall since Xmas because of bad (C) choices!

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Kun is definitely the safe captain choice and that's where I'll be. Fielding 10+ players without a hit is differential enough IMO

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      It is risky but I kinda like it

      I'm going Aguero (don't own Mane but own the others you mentioned)

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Sherlock Holmes: "...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

      That's how I select captains. Discount the most popular picks when there is a good reason against them as a choice. Then pick my best remaining option. Works very well for me.

      For instance, this week there are good reasons to avoid both Sanchez and Aguero. City have a tough away game. Sanchez is not the same since he lost his "main man" status. I have therefore happily captained Rooney but if your best remaining option is ADM then that seems fine.

      Working this way will not work every week. But if your judgement is good it will work more often than not.

      1. Marty McFly
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        I think what Sherlock Holmes would have been getting at is if you work hard enough you will eliminate all discountable possibilities. This would leave you with only 1 solution - the truth.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 15 days ago

          Obviously. I am using the general principle, not the specific. Detection is about what happened in the past. Predicting the future is a less precise science. But the same principle can still be used to assess probabilities and variations of potential risk and reward.

  22. Vardy Gras PBFC
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Reasonable (-4)?

    Foster
    Dawson Keane Skrtel Baines
    Cazorla Sanchez Sterling Downing
    Aguero(c) Defoe
    Krul PvA Hazard Kane

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Very

  23. Capt. Krypton
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    I went for Ings as my only transfer this week.. Tempted to captain him over Sanchez, Adm, Silva and Giroud? This will backfire surely 🙁

    1. G000ns
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      I want to do the same!! Don't have to balls.

      1. Capt. Krypton
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 15 days ago

        Haha.. Could be a beautiful differential. I feel Sanchez could be on form

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Probably will but go for it 🙂

  24. luke
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    30 odd points ahead of ML rival and know he will (C) Kun, who i have as well. Just seems boring, think the dIff is big enough to punt on the likes of Giro, ADM, Sakho or even Walters, what say the clever lads?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      30 points isn't much difference at this stage. I wouldn't not go Aguero just for that reason. Carry on picking who you think will score the most.

  25. fatherted
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 15 days ago

    Likely to field 11 without a transfer. Not the greatest 11. Worth saving ft for dgw??

    Can live without Terry, but can't think of suitable replacements this wk.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 15 days ago

      Save. I have 11 starters (unless Phil Jones doesn't 🙁 ) and am saving even though its not the greatest team
