We’re entrusting Manchester United’s resurgent midfielder, Swansea City’s Icelandic playmaker and Tottenham’s imperious frontman to deliver the goods when we go head-to-head with Paddy this weekend.

Our attentions turn to Old Trafford as we call upon Marouane Fellaini to translate his goalscoring exploits for Belgium (three goals in two matches) into similar results when the Red Devils play host to Aston Villa later today. The much-maligned former Everton star bagged a goal and an assist in a Gameweek 29 clash against Spurs and will fancy his chances of breaching a Villains rearguard that’s managed a solitary clean sheet in their previous ten outings. Paddy are offering 7/2 odds on Fellaini to score and United to keep a clean sheet, encouraging us to part with our first £3.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the target of our second wager of the week as the Swans welcome Hull City to the Liberty. The ex-Tottenham midfielder flourished against his former team in Gameweek 28 – notching a goal and an assist – and has mustered 10 attempts on goal in the last three Gameweeks. In light of the Tigers’ failure to score in their last two road ties, we’re willing to take up Paddy’s 9/2 odds on Sigurdsson to score and Swansea to keep a clean sheet, handing over another £3.

Our final, and favourite bet, tilts our head towards the irrepressible Harry Kane. The Spurs forward has tallied a staggering five braces in the last 11 Gameweeks – including a hat trick against Leicester City last time out – and will be in jubilant spirits for the visit to Burnley following a dream debut for England. Allied to that, the Clarets have scored only 14 goals at Turf Moor this campaign, offering hope that Tottenham can secure a rare clean sheet. All things considered, we’re happy to take up Paddy’s 16/1 offer on Kane to score two or more goals and Spurs to keep a clean sheet and invest our final £4.

  5. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is Benteke fit and ready to go?

    If so Aguero > Benteke(c) will be my last chance saloon to making up ground.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I did that.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero is my captain 😆

      To be fair, if I had Benteke I would probably captain him. But I'd also keep Kun

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

        Really? I'm super far behind so need a differential.

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Then go for it and disappear on MNF

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

        With you LR . Benteke looking likely . Consoling myself wsith his relatively low ownership though

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Myhill

      Easy

  7. baraka1670
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sooo Costa would be coming off from bench today i guess
    Should i take a hit and get Benteke for Costa and next GW get Costa back??

      Captain Rooney

      Your welcome

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        There is no logic in that.

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Rooney playing up top at home vs Villa

          There isn't any logic in that, well done vampire

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            With one less match than Tekkers, who has QPR at home. Plus Smalling's out for us. You're just in denial over Tekkers.

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Not really, I think he will score a goal vs QPR that's all. I can see rooney brace.

              Seems I'm gonna own you once more you filthy vampire.

              1. Not Irish
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Two goals minimum for Tekkers this GW.

                1. La Roja
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Steady

              Both good choices ( you know that )
              Tekkers Cpt in last game of the week swings it

              1. Not Irish
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                That too. Lovely prospect.

                  • 13 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Indeed , especially if Austin blanks

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

      Nice team muppet boy. Rooney or Benteke over Giroud?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Rooney

                11 years, 1 month ago

                Nice. I will admit if Pardew goes daft mode against City Kun could hurt me. But then I doubt he'll outscore Rooney.

                1. La Roja

                  Good luck anyway. Nice to see people going against the grain a bit.

    2. jbenny1107
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez to Silva.

  13. jbenny1107

    Man U fans. Who should I pick up for tomorrow, Mata or Fellaini?

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

      Both look undroppable, but I say Mata because he barely gets a yellow compared to Fellaini. Also fellaini will play deeper and mata will make couple of runs in the box.

      1. jbenny1107
        • 12 Years

        Thanks.

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years

          Depends on who you have on mid

              If you're playing 3-5-2 then Walters out for Siggy makes sense

    Schlupp or PVA for this week?

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

      Well ? showing doubt with fatigue , what ?
      Had Schlupp starting over Clyne , not sure now.

  17. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Damn you La Roja now I'm second guessing.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Screw this.

      *logs off*

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

        You back ? Dont waver now McM

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I am. I'm wavering.

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

            Lol , yeah I would be too . Would stay with Tekkers though . The pull of that last game of the week, would just do it.

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I just can't trust Villa. I can see him scoring a goal, that's it

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

                Yeah , but home to QPR there is every chance he could get more.
                Even if he only gets 1 goal against a Rooney brace its likely to only cost Muppet 2 points ( having both ) as both likely for the 3 baps.

                1. Not Irish
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Don't forget Tekkers starts out two points ahead and has a chance at BAPs in two matches.

                  1. 32chickens
                    • 15 Years

                    I have drafted in tekky and (c) him

                    This, and lets face it you will be one unhappy McNugget if Tekkers rips and you go Roon.
                    Not so much so the other way.
                    Stick

                2. La Roja
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  I can see your logic but as I said, personally I cannot rely on captain from Villa. It's just not sustainable, could get blank on both and do feck all which wouldn't be surprise

                  1. Not Irish
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    Still 8 points even if that's the case.

                    1. Not Irish
                      • 12 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      After doubling the points obviously.

                      • 13 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      Safe and sound , with added incentive.

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

                    Could well go either way tbf . Easy for me , have neither
                    I would go Benteke , but sure Muppet will do the right thing

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke has 2.5% ownership, having him already differential

      If I had rooney, would me my captain ahead of any player this GW.

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        How much higher will that be in the top 10k though? I hate looking at ownership anyway. Tekkers is the smarter play. Why did even bother bringing him in otherwise?

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          It won't be that high thats for sure.

          I hate changing captains on Saturday though. But Rooney brace written all over imo

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            1. I've had beers.
            2. You're appealling to the MU muppet inside me with Rooney.

            Conclusion: This has disaster written all over it.

            One last point though. If Young is out AdM will likely start which could seriously feck up our football.

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Irrelevant

              Stick with Tekkers so we can turn the table around 😉

              1. Not Irish
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Irrelevant my arse.

                Also one goal and one assist would put Tekkers on at least 11 and possibly up to 17 points.

                1. La Roja
                  • 14 Years

                  ok then, decision made, good luck vampire

                        Honest opinion - Rooney.

                        I could have bought any forward in and I chose Rooney over Benteke and Austin. He'll be my captain.

                        Longer term considerations didn't affect it, I still have my wildcard which I'll take soon.

                        An in-form Rooney playing striker for an in-form team at home to Sherwood's Villa. That's an opportunity that doesn't come around every week.

                        I don't think Benteke will score against United. If that's right it is effectively Benteke +2 v Rooney.

                        GL anyway.

    maureen is crafty.....
    he has 2 players on suspension tightrope-fab and matic-the latter key to the team.
    what's chances of one/both being 'rested' this GW with big matches to come?
    further conspiracy-does he 'rest' costa as he's on 8?

  26. Zombie

    Keep Sterling or get Mata/Fellaini/Siggy ?

    Personally I want to get Mata but is he nailed on?

    1. jbenny1107
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      All the scouts but one picked Mata. The other scout picked Fellaini. I keep leaning towards Fellaini. But, next few weeks for Man U no walk in the park. Siggy has great fixtures. I'm not sure either.
