Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 34

Our hopes of besting Paddy this weekend rest in the able hands – and feet – of Liverpool’s mercurial playmaker, Leicester’s imposing centre-back and Tottenham’s talismanic marksman.

Although Philippe Coutinho hasn’t netted in his last five league ties, the Brazilian starlet (17) has attempted seven more shots than Raheem Sterling (10) in the last six Gameweeks and has scored two in three starts in all competitions. Ally this with the fact that the Reds have recorded eight shut-outs in their previous 12 fixtures and we’re willing to take up Paddy’s 15/2 offer on Coutinho to score and Liverpool to keep a clean sheet away to West Brom, parting with £4 in our favourite wager of the week.

Our second bet has us backing Robert Huth to net his second goal in three outings for Leicester City. No Premier League defender has notched as many goal attempts (nine) or penalty box touches (24) as the Stoke City loanee in the last six Gameweeks. With the Foxes facing a Clarets outfit that’s drawn blanks in six of their last seven matches, Paddy’s massive 40/1  odds on Huth to score and Leicester to keep a clean sheet against Burnley is worthy of a £3 investment.

Harry Kane is the target of our final flutter this weekend, as Tottenham Hotspur prepare to lock horns with Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium. The Spurs frontman banished a two-match dry spell last time out against Newcastle United and ranks second among all forwards in terms of goal attempts (eight) in the last two Gameweeks. Kane has tallied a brace or more on five occasions this term and we’re backing him to repeat the feat, placing the remaining £3 on Paddy’s 55/1 offer on Kane to score two or more goals and Tottenham to keep a clean sheet against Southampton.

      Keep swapping between sterling and Haz ? It's back on Sterling for now. No sturridge and favourable fixtures make him the favourite somewhere near up top. Couple that with Chelsea parking the bus potentially with the odd break out attack. The dilemma comes with Haz being the out and out best player all season.

      Hi guys and gals,

      Clyne to Ivanovic for a hit?

      Would be getting rid of Clyne/Ivan in next week or two anyway to free up funds for Sanchez. Have Davis in Goal, just don't fancy either doubling up on Sou this week (have Kane as well, so what I gain in CS I lose from Kane and vice versa) which would mean playing PVA or Dawson this week, and don't really fancy them either.

      Already have Terry, so would be double Chelsea defence for this game week. Haven't seen Chelsea recently not sure on Ivanovic form, any advice?
