Our duel with Paddy this week has us investing faith in Chelsea’s stand-in striker, Arsenal’s Chilean livewire and Manchester United’s Spanish playmaker.

With Diego Costa out of contention for the time being, it falls upon Loic Remy to shoulder the goal scoring responsibility for Chelsea. The French marksman has taken up the mantle in the Blues’ last two fixtures, bagging the winners against Hull City and Stoke City. Couple this with the fact that Jose Mourinho’s men have recorded shut-outs in five of their last nine home clashes and we’re willing to take up Paddy’s 9/1 odds on Remy to score two or more goals and Chelsea to keep a clean sheet and part with our first £3.

Our second, and favourite, wager of the week takes us across the capital to North London. Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez rifled a 20-yard strike past the flailing arms of Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet last Gameweek and looks primed to keep Burnley’s rearguard busy when the Gunners travel to Turf Moor this evening. Considering that the Clarets have netted just one goal in their previous five outings, we’re swayed by Paddy’s 12/1 offer on Sanchez to score two ore more goals and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, parting with another £4.

The Manchester derby is the destination of our final bet, with Red Devils midfielder Juan Mata piquing our interest in light of his brace against Liverpool in Gameweek 30. Manchester City’s defence has been breached in every one of their last seven road matches, while United have recorded three shut-outs in their last five. All things considered, Paddy’s 10/1 offer on Mata to score and Manchester United to keep a clean sheet looks like a fine source of investment for our remaining £3.

    Aguero out for Remy?

      Did it last night after one (a few) too many. Hope Mourinho doesn't troll me today and start Drog.

      1. sweglet
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        This is exactly what I'm worried about hahaha

      2. Kurtinho
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        You do realise Kun plays West Ham, Aston Villa and QPR all at home within the next 5GWs right? I guess form over fixtures, but still...

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          This - i still believe in the little man, not giving up

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          This. Would wait one more week, at least

  2. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero to Rooney for a hit too stupid?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      no. do it 😎

    2. Patty
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Stupid

    3. Sunny 😎

    Ready to go?

    Fabianski
    Ivan, Fonte, Dawson
    Hazard, Silva, Özil, Eriksen
    Aguero, Kane (c), Austin

    Krul; PvA, Duff, Phillips

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yes!

  4. Butters_lfc9
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    What would you guys do with this team with 2FT
    Ospina
    Terry-Zouma-Bertrand
    Sanchez-Hazard-Silva-Eriksen
    Aguero-Austin-Kane
    Wollscheid-Boyd-Naughton+0.7

    Thinking of doing Naughton out not sure who to though also thinking of bringing out austin, also have my WC

  5. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    If you might end up with 7 players without fixtures in GW33, would you still bring in Arsenal attackers for this week?

    1. Sunny 😎
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers mate.

    2. GK
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Not unless you have a WC to use. Otherwisr it would be suicide!

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Played WC while ago. 🙁

    3. sweglet
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Think the question answers itself mate

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Indeed.

        Need someone that don't have blank fixtures now; Puncheon or Remy.

    4. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Getting nervous without Arsenal covers, and also not really convinced to do Austin > Remy.

      Effing hell, can't even make a fantasy decision nowadays. Haha.

  6. GK
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Play Fonte and Clyne or drop one for Bellerin?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'm thinking double up

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Ditched Aguero last week and now have 5.6m ITB. Am seriously considering doing Kane > Sturridge in GW34 as Kane has Southampton and then Man City in GW35 where as Sturridge would face Hull, WBA and QPR in GW 34 and 35.

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      What about the blank?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I mean do it after the blank, thus keeping Kane for his next 2 great looking fixtures

  8. The ghost of a Pug's g…
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Considering:

    Clyne & Austin ----> alder & Remy

    Any takers?

    1. The Governor
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Clyne to Toby is a good way to free up cash, not sure on Remy myself though.

      Fixtures are rubbish, and he may not even play?

      1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I suppose. I've been considering cancelling my opponent. Fancy him to get Remy.

    2. GK
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Depends how well set up you are for the blanks - using 2FT up if you're short there might not be a good idea

      1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I would have exactly 11 players for next week

        1. GK
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Then I'd probably do it. I brought in Remy for Austin as a straight swap - it's a risk with game time but one Im going for personally

          1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            I have to do the other sub to afford this action

  9. The Governor
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Hi guys, I have 2 FT's and £0.9m ITB, but not sure what to do...

    Pantilimon
    Terry -- Clyne -- Dawson
    Hazard -- Alexis -- Eriksen -- Walters
    Aguero -- Giroud -- Kane

    Krul -- Phillips -- Schlupp -- Hutton

    A) Could sell Walters, but would only leave me with £6m to spend. Puncheon, or a West Brom midfielder maybe?
    B) Could finally sell Aguero. For Remy? But I'm really not sold on his security of starts...

    Advice welcome!

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Walters certainly looks like the weak link and Puncheon could well be the answer

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      This is pretty much my team and except I have got rid of Aguero for Remy now

  10. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    If you had a defence of Ivan Clyne Bertrand. Would Dawson play today?

    A. Yes
    B. No

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I do...in addition to them

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      B

    3. The Governor
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'd be spreading the risk and playing Dawson.

      Depends how big your balls are. It would be painful knowing a Hull goal would lose you 8 points (at least!)

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        True. Just can't help but think Saints still have a better chance of a cleanie though

    4. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers guys

    5. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      holding a 3x sot defence (and have done for some time with some success)-leave dawson on bench

  11. David Brains - OH NO!
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Krul
    Alderw - Azpi - Bellerin
    Puncheon - Erkisen - Silva - Hazard
    Remy - Kane (c) - Aguero
    Subs: Dawson, PVA, Moses

    I think I'm gonna be benching clean sheet points this week - would you say the Suns are correct and in the right order? Cheers

  12. si
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    This Mane fella in the scout picks. Same fella who gets benched all the time?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Gets benched occasionally, would be more accurate. He's SOT's main goal threat at the minute though, will start today. Good pick IMO.

      Do I have him? Of course 😀

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      returned from international match last week

  13. iCon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Rose or Bellerín to play?

    1. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Really?

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, concerned of Bellerín not starting and getting the customary 5 minute cameo. Rise could easily get attacking returns...

    2. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Scouts say Bellerin - I think it's a close call though, but clean sheet odds suggest that villa will score

      1. si
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        There is a good chance Bellerin won't start.

        1. David Brains - OH NO!
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Really? I wasn't aware - strange he's in te scout picks then - I've got him ahead of Dawson atm

          1. si
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

            Always a risk away from home, with Chambers and now Debuchy lurking.

        2. stilicho
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Judging by today's papers, yours is a minority view

  14. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone Shipping Aguero this week forgot he's home to West Ham and then Aston Villa next 2 games.

    1. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Same reason I am keeping David S.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Might be worth keeping for West Ham game but I would still prefer a DGW striker such as Remy or Sturridge in GW34 over Kun's single fixture against Aston Villa

  15. si
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Juan Mata in John Terry's PFA team of the year. Righto. Impressed by Coutinho as his player of the year though.

  16. iron2010
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    What one of the following would you bench chaps ?

    PVA
    Terry

      1. fijuhmon

  17. drughi
    • 16 Years

    1. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldnt worry too much.

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Which one is the issue.

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        sterling and sturridge scare me the most

        1. si
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          Very average team now. 0-0

  18. adp1113
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Which one would you start: Austin or Puncheon?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      austin

    2. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Puncheon fo'sho!

    3. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Puncheon - but don't see it being much different tbh

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Austin.

  19. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Any news on Koscielny? Is he likely to play?

  20. Waterboyd
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Panti (Mignolet)
    Fonte Terry Naughton (Bellerin, Dawson)
    Hazard, Mane, Cazorla, Silva, (Ki-Seung Yeung)
    Aguero, Giroud, Kane.

    I have 1FT, 1.9m, and a WC.

    How should I prepare for the coming weeks and who should I start bringing in for GW34?

  21. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone captaining Kane simply because most others in leagues will?

    Defensive

    1. Berbalove
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      IF you think Kane is the best pick, is it defensive to captain him?

  22. Kev07
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    1. Play Bellerin or Dawson?

    2. Hazard or Kane captain?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'd like to know the answer to A

      I'm captaining Kane - as will the majority

    2. fijuhmon
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      1. Hector
      2. Kane

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Tough call but i would say:

      Start Bellerin
      &
      Haz (C)

      See below for (C) poll

  23. fijuhmon
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Pants
    Clyne, Azpi, Dawson, Rose
    Eriksen, Sanchez, Hazard
    Kane (c), Kun, Giroud

    Krul, Naughton, Boyd, Philips

    2FT 2.0 itb. What to do with this lot? Naughton and/or Philips out?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Id only make the one transfer for a start

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I'd do Phillips > Hendo/Punch and start either over Rose

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Naughton to Wollscheid. S4art Phillips over Rose, in great form, Chelsea defence not as secure as few weeks ago and Phillips at home.

  24. SwindonSteve
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Really need some help guys, do I:
    A: Austin to Remy

      A

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    4. GHB
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      I fancy Austin this wkend..what's rest of your midfield/team?

  25. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Haz (C) or Kane (C)???

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard.

    3. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Feel free to choose one.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        i know who i have it on currently just seeing if i can be swayed

    4. fijuhmon
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Haz if chasing, if not Kane. See my post below

  26. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Costa out

    Remy or Murray in?

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Remy

    2. fijuhmon
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Remy

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Went Remy

    4. corderz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Gone Remy. Captain Kane or Remy? Got some catching up to do after last week

  27. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    44% captain Kane in the c poll, only 18% votes for Hazard.

    Even though top 10K probably will contain a lower percentage Kane captainers and more Hazard captainers, it's too risky to c Haz.

    Agree?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No. Kane will be a defensive mid today with the defence they have.

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years

      nope
      qpr and villa both leaky and both scrapping-could expect open games-i still think chelsea are the more reliable attack and haz will be part of that with BPs-i cannot be so sure about kane and i have a sneaky feeling that sherwood knows spurs inside out so will give them a good game even if spurs eventually win

        don't think sherwood knows anything inside out. Not exactly the master tactician to stop the other team playing

      Cheers lads, Haz seems tempting, but afraid to drop far in ranking...

    Need to take a few risks to make up ground in my ML. What would you do with this lot:

    Myhill
    Clyne, Azpi, Bellerin
    Eriksen, Haz, Mane, Silva
    Kane, Augero, Giroud

    Pants, Puncheon, Naughton, Baird
    1.8 itb

    A. Augero to Sturridge (rotate out next week)
    B. Augero to Murray
    C. Augero to Gomis
    D. Naughton to Alderwield
    E. Hold

    Thanks

    Without taking any hits I can field a starting 11 next week and have 6 DGW players for GW34. Feels great.

      Not sure how many DGW players will be the norm. I have taken one hit this week and will have 7 DGW players (3 Chelsea 3 Liverpool and one Leicester).

      Overkill or average?
