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.

    The DGW34 is slowly approaching us, many have a wildcard active whilst some do not. Learning from the last DGW most people will not be taking a risk by going without. We can all agree that most people will be going with 3 Liverpool players and 3 Chelsea players but what about Leicester? Vardy? Morgan? Schlupp? All good players but I think one player who is being overlooked, Esteban Cambiasso.

    His points a creeping up quickly because in the last 3 GW's he has picked up a whooping 22 points. That's impressive for someone who is only valued at 4.7, agreed?

    So now let's get into some statistics over the last 4 GW's.
    Assists - 1
    Key Passes - 8
    Number of goals involved in - 2
    Goal Attempts - 3
    Shots on target - 2
    Total Goals - 1

    These might not be so impressive for some but for a fifth mid for the rest of the season surely he is worth it? Burnley, Chelsea, Newcastle, Southampton, Sunderland and QPR are the fixtures he has left..

    Goodluck 🙂

                    If not then I'd say go without Kane. You're 72k, why not? Kane has bad fixtures too really. If it wasn't for ownership you'd pull the trigger.

                    We have the same defence. I have Davis/Myhill though. 0.4 cheaper. If we dropped Morgan there is still no one with good fixtures to pick up. At least he has a goal threat.

    Can see my rival's only made 1 tranny which will be Silva -> Sterling.

    Him: Migs, Ivan, Bellerin, Clyne, Mata, Puncheon, Austin, Kane
    Me: Heaton, Terry, Skrtel, Bert, Fab, Sterling, Silva, Murray

    Fingers crossed.

      Id say your in trouble there mate, Ivanovic likely to rip it up this DGW, Kane could easy do the same and sterling could be rested!

      How have neither of you got Hazard?? brave!

    Silva -> Hendo for a hit? Currently sitting with 6DGWers with -4 hit.

      DGW madness. Why on earth are people starting Albrighton.

        It's not madness - he has two matches. He's likely to get at least 4 points, with double the chance of attacking returns.

        I would play him over Giroud.

          But he's only played 90 mins twice all season and only has 2+ points from 4 games... There is no chance in hell I'd start him over Giroud.

      The fixtures are good and any of the DGWers could make a decent captain option (except Hull of course).

    So i'm doing Fonte to Huth/Schlupp.. the 0.2 price difference makes no difference to me so who would you go for?
    Schlupp could be OOP and looks the preferred option on here but Huth has twice the pen box touches and shots in the last six games.

      Huth. I only downgraded because the price difference does make a difference to me.

    I'm on my WC. Does it make sense to lose Kane for Austin/Vardy since I'm chasing around 30 points?

    Having a last minute panic (as always) my wildcard is active, so would you go for Fabregas & Vardy or Cambiasso & Costa? I'm thinking the first would be better this GW but the second would take less restructuring to the end of the season as I'm not sure about Vardy longer term. Any help appreciated 🙂
