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.

      First one. But I'd be tempted to get Davis instead.

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        forget my reply on the other page 🙂

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          All season imo. Shame you can't get mignolet.

            10 years, 11 months ago

            Kelvin D it is.

            great shout - hadn't even considered him I've been away from it that long.

            Just swatting up now 🙂

            1. A.T
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 11 months ago

              No worries. You need more dgw'ers really mate.

  8. Gr3g
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anybody getting Walcott? I think it's his time and he is due...

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

      Hopefully not and Sterling goes for 50m+ somewhere and Walcott goes to Anfield for 10m 🙂

    2. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Sold him last week. Had him for quite a while thinking the same thing but have come to the conclusion Wenger is leaving him out until he shows he is more of a team player. So many pacy midfield options, (not to mention Bellerin) why go for the one-dimensional guy who only attacks.

  9. andres
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    are people getting in Smeichel or LEI defenders?

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

      Yes.

    2. Pat Bonner

      1. andres

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

          Yes I think so, for save points

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      I won't be.

    4. Green Arrow

    5. Fabreghastly

      There isn't anything obvious. Maybe krul to schmeicel ahead of dgw?

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        You'd keep both Mata and Siggy? Could also ditch bruce ahead of the blank

    Anyone else keeping Austin for this week?

    1. SweeSwee

      Yes

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

      Wanted to keep him for the rest of the season but couldn't resist Remy

  24. PKB
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone reckons Kosc will play? or I will have to ship him out for a hit, as have Naughton and Baird as subs!

  25. enrico.palazzo
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Okay.

    Aguero, Kane or Hazard (c)

    Leaning towards Kane and hazard for the simple reason that villa and QPR have both played twice in a week and likely to be tired. I feel Aguero is ready to explode though...

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

      Aguero has been ready to explode for months. If he doesn't explode soon, I am going to explode

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        He will explode this week as I ditched him in a desperate to to catch my rivals.

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      depends on the level of risk you want to take I'd say.

      Incredible to think that Aguero is the high risk/high reward option and Kane the safest in terms of your OR now.

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

      After watching last week, haz should be the only option.

      It's just whether Kane has anything left in his locker.

    4. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks all for your input. It's a really difficult one. 31 points behind a rival with an average team and no Wildcard. May go Kane as I've just traded him in lol

  26. 3 years & counting
    • 11 Years

    In addition to Andy's post - Here are some statistics from the opposing defence.

    Aston Villa (Kane)
    Goals Conceded - 1.60
    Goal Attempts Conceded - 11.00
    Goal Attempts Conceded In The Box - 7.00
    Big Chances Conceded - 1.80

    QPR (Hazard)
    Goals Conceded - 2.20
    Goal Attempts Conceded - 17.00
    Goal Attempts Conceded In The Box - 11.80
    Big Chances Conceded - 1.80

    Despite the statistics clearly favouring Hazard I will instead go for Kane as I believe he will score the most points. It's a risk of not going for Kane especially he he scores 15+.

      Loftus Road also has a narrow pitch so wingers can sometimes struggle to make an impact. Of course, Hazard is no ordinary winger.

      Kane scores 39% of Spurs goals - Hazard scores 20%
      12% and 13% on assists

      The stats continue to back Kane
