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.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      sanchez

  9. MMN
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one

    A) Schlupp

    B) Huth

    C) Morgan

    Just can't decide! Any justification would be immensely appreciated!

    1. lightspeed
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Huth

      Great goal threat also playing against former club

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

      Schlupp

    3. temo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I ended on A

    4. drughi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Schlupp playing wing back and obviously more attacking but morgan and huth more dangerous on set pieces. I'm going schlupp

    5. MMN
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I think they're all good options, it's just a lottery now.

  10. temo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play
    A van Aanholt (sto)
    Or
    B Bellerin (CHE)

  11. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    just 5 DGWer cause of Remy so i'm taking a hit for a leicester player.. which one looks better?
    A) Fonte(TOT) to Huth/Schlupp -4
    B) Phillips(WHM) to Cambiasso -4
    C) Remy to Vardy -4 (bench Phillips)

    1. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      A, i think Phillips could do something today

  12. lightspeed
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Final WC decision...

    A - Keep Kane (would be benched)

    OR

    B- preparing for ars dgw, sell for giroud (also to be benched)

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      B I think

      Kun and Vardy the other 2?

    2. Baa
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      If you are benching you might as well save a transfer and do it now

    3. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      B

  13. Takamba
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Are we as sure as we can be Moreno is nailed for the 2 games?

    Any way a change of formation may see him lose his place?

    Who is he competing with? No one really, is he???

    1. CarelessGenius©
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      that's why you pay a little extra for skrtel....

  14. Baa
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play Ramsey or Kane?

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Kane

    2. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      kane

    3. Baa
      • 13 Years

      Thanks both

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

    worth transferring out heaton for migs? (will be a -8 altogether with over transfers i've done)

  16. Vman
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    DGW team with punty Captain choice i am not in a position to play safe.

    Mignolet

    Ivanovic Bruce Terry

    Henderson Silva Hazard Sterling(v.c)

    Kane Aguero(C) Murray

    Subs. Krul-Clyne-Benteleb-Bellerin 2.9 in bank

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

      I never like captaining a SGW player. It's like someone having 2 games compared to 4.

      1. Vman
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Even if you feel the sgw player could still earn more points than a dgw captain, I can see Haz getting maybe 1 Sterling not to great in front of goal Hendo Maybe 1 and assist Aguero 2 maybe 3 against Villa?

        1. Vman
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I think i just sorted my saturday Bet slip 🙂

  17. Jay_
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Schmeichel
      Ivanovic Moreno Schlupp
      Sanchez Hazard(v)Henderson Sterling(c)Fabregas
      Vardy Aguero
      (Davis Giroud Raylor Duff )

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Yep. Nice team.

    • Coffee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      For this week and next, who would you choose?

      A) Coutinho
      B) Hendo

    • Blue Gaffer
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Coutinho or Henderson which is the better pick?

    • Richd
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Was set on schmeichel Davis and now tempted to do schmeichel pants. What's wrong with me ? Sunderland suck eggs.

    • ragonian
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I don't have Fabregas and I'm scared.
      Someone reassure me....

      1. CarelessGenius©
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        not me. just brought him in.......

    • CarelessGenius©
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Start Ospina or Krul?

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        gone krul

    • Richd
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      If Leicester lose today us wildcarders may have egg on our baps.

    • 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      anyone heard any remy news, not sure if its wiser to start walters over him?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Apparently he's out with a calf problem.

        I have same issue. U should prepare for Walters. I have Clyne and Boyd on my bench, not sure what to do! Stick with my subs or make another change, however would be for a -12

        1. 50 Shades Oshea
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          been checking the internet and it says he looks likely to definitely out. so out of berty or walters to start? would be so annoyed if remy only played 30 so may bench him...

          1. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Walters has Sunderland so I'd imagine he might score well.

            Saints wise with Berty I'm not so sure as Davis is a bit of a weak link in goal. I've benched Clyne for same reason.

            I have the same prob re Remy, looks like he's deffo out so if sub him, biggest waste of an FT I ever did!.

            Should I sub him for one of Clyne/Boyd? Or make another FT?, it would be for a -12 overall though mind!

            1. 50 Shades Oshea
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              ye thats what i think, so i think it maybe wiser starting walters, but like you said has been the biggest waste of an ft... ye true, probably go boyd. was thinking hernadez or vardy. but going to save ft and bring giroud in next week.

            2. 50 Shades Oshea
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              would you start wlaters or risk it with remy, just feels a waste not play him, but then like you said walters could score well.

              1. Danstoke82
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 10 months ago

                I've still got Remy starting so think I'll leave him in hoping he could feature in 2nd match. Will make Boyd 1st sub.

                1. 50 Shades Oshea
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 10 months ago

                  think i may do the same and hope he takes no part rather then cameo for walters to come on.

    • PGR
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Play Albrighton ahead of Kane? Or is that just madness?

    • Hank Moody
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Guys , would you rather , bench remy play king leicester and formation 3 5 2 with kane and austin OR remy to aguero , 3 4 3 , bench King?

    • Ferris Bueller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      FTW, Murray or Giroud?

    • KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      2 options!

      Panti
      Terry, Moreno, Bertrand (alder, Dawson)
      Hazard, sterling, silva, Sanchez, (Boyd)
      Remy, Kun, Kane

      A. Bertrand to skrtel (-4) then another hit required next week to get Giroud for Remy
      B. Berty to Morgan (-4). This leaves enough funds for Giroud for Remy without a hit

      1. Vman
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Why not remove Remy now for Vardy? Remy imo is out
