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.

    Literally all my rivals have taken 8 point hits. I've taken a 4 so far. I have a comfortable lead. Any additional hits worth taking? I want to, because it's fun, but a lack of feasible striker options is holding me back.

    Boyd to Henderson, and bench Kane?? Or Dawson to Terry/Skrtl/Moreno??

    Myhill
    Ivan Schlupp Clyne (Trippier Dawson)
    Hazard (c) Coutinho Sterling Sanchez (Boyd)
    Aguero Kane Vardy
    3.6 in the bank

      you have enough, no need for more

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

        ...is the sensible answer!

    2. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Looking good. Maybe Dawson---> Skrtel?

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

        Yeah I was thinking along those lines, anything up top just gives me a benching problem.

        OR Foster to Mignolet

        1. Jimbo123
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah that's another good option

      McGregor should start, but you shouldn't care!

  4. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    so many decisions....
    1) my def and gk..ivan and skrtl and def in
    A: schmichel + hull def (if so, which one?)
    B: harper + schlupp
    C: sch + schlupp..i.e. double up on lei def

    2) on my fwds (kun def in)
    D: kane + Vardy
    E: kane + Ndyoye
    F: drop kane and go for vardy + ndyoye

    Problem is lack of decent mid options in lei and hull..only if diame was fit

  5. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Would you take a -8 for Srtel & Vardy?

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

      So many taking hits this GW it'll probably cancel out anyway.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I would sell Remy anyway...

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

      -4 for Skrtel

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Already did this.
        I have Remy that's why I'm thinking to get a -8

  6. BIG TONES

    Who would have a go on Vardy's wife? +1

          Isn't Nugent?

          1. BIG TONES
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Couldn't see from behind

  7. PKB
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    What's this about Vardy not starting? only a rumour or something concrete in it?

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

      Nah, was Twitter nonsense to do with his wife who has since said he's fine.

        1. PKB
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Ahh, thanks for that, mate!

    2. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years

      Just consulted my crystal ball, he's starting and blanking both games

      Plot twist I own him

    Good morning jolly FFSers

    Kos > Skrtel -4pts

    What say ye?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sell another def

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

        Selling Kosc may not be a bad option because I think most are opting for 3 Arsenal attack in the DGW.

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

          Umm, hadn't considered that. Button almost pressed 🙂

          Cheers both, GL

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

        Have Sanchez & Giroud so easy switch back for gw37, it's the hit I'm asking about, chels game could be goalless?

  10. Bolasie
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play Giroud(CHE) or bench him and play Coutinho(wba, hul) for a hit?

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

      play cout for a hit

  11. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I have Wasilewski in my TEAM and really don't know what to do play Him or play Clyne ????

  12. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Good to go? Anything worth a hit?

    Krul
    Terry Ivanovic Skrtel
    Hazard Henderson Sanchez Silva
    Kane Vary Aguero

    Subs: Guzan // Boyd Alderewield Dawson

    A hit taken. 1.0m ITB.

    1. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Good to go.

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years

        Thanks.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez -> Hendo imo.

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

        He has Hendo?

      2. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I own Hendo. Worried about not owning Sterling or Coutinho, but don't think it's worth a hit with Sanchez having a DGW in 37.

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

          sorry still bit sleepy. Get Sterling.

        2. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Giroud, Özil and Ramsey/Cazorla is way to go imo.

          1. JasonG123
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            That'd be another -8 compared to just keeping Sanchez. Don't think it's worth it.

    Anyone fancy lovren for both games

    1. BIG TONES

    2. datamunkey

      10 years, 10 months ago

      Pug! For the love of Lovren, just put him in! You clearly so want to do it fella, Alders out, lovely Lorvs in. Do it, do it man 🙂

      Skrtel still then better choice tho, imho 🙂

  14. Sithlord007

    Morning,

    What percentage for Remy to get any game time?

    Cheers

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Slime

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

      Very little.

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      He will get 1 minute in the 2nd game

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

        This... Just enough time to prevent those bench points activating...

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

    Is it worth a hit to get Courtois in this week then swap to Ospina for the Arsenal DGW?

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

      No, it's not worth -4 and a FT

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

    Don't agree with the injury thing re. Sterling but I do however see the bib theory and I personally don't think he will start.

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I was told bibs from Thursday means nothing, couldn't find any Friday pictures..

      1. TokyoRed 東京赤
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Has anyone written a thesis on bib theory yet?

    2. Sithlord007
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      What's the injury theory?

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

        Some idiots saying he got injured, trying to scare people I reckon.

  17. Shane Ferguson 4.0
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Cout or Hendo if you want to protect the lead?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Coutinho because Gerrard is back now

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

        There was a post that showed that Gerrard gametime doesn't affect much for Hendo's attacking returns.

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

          poor english but hope you understood.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Hendo

    3. datamunkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  18. Surfreak
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone keeping Remy?
    If so playing or benching?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'm starting him. Don't know if I should get a -8

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I dont know whom to bring :/

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

        Vardy seems the trendy choice.

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

          But not a good one.
          I might be forced to bring him though...

      2. Surfreak
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Tempted to stick and play or twist and bring in Tekkers for -4

  19. KKluigi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Mignolet and Huth, or Schmeichel and Skrtel?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Kasper and Skrtel

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

      Mignolet and Huth. I'd rather have the ability to bench Huth than Skrtel

    3. Surfreak
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Schm & Skrt

  20. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Coutinho or Hendo if money is no object?

    1. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Coutinho!

    2. FPLEL

    Who'd have thought that Leicester away at Burnley would be the biggest game of the season?

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      It isnt

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

        It is a fairly important one if you support either of those teams

        1. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Well his comment said the not their

          And who "would have thought" implies it is shocking, which wouldnt be the case if you supported either of the two

  24. fijuhmon
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Krul
    Clyne - Azpi - Rose
    Hendo - Eriksen - Fab - Hazard
    Murray - Kane - Aguero

    Pants, Boyd, Dawson, Naughton

    1FT, 5,0 itb.

    Eriksen -> Sterling/Coutinho the obvious transfer, but should I still take a hit to do Naughton -> Skrtel? "Never take hit for a defender" some wise men said...

  25. Goons
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I am 30 points ahead in my league and already on a 4 point hit. However, I am lacking DGWs, while my rival is on a WC squad.

    I am worried about not having Sterling, should I bring him in for Sanchez only for this week for another 4 point hit? Only Liv player is Hendo.

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

      Not for Sanchez imo.

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

        You rate Sanchez against Chelsea?

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

          You'll want him back next week and he's the kind of player that can score in this fixture.

          Sell him if you want though.

  26. ianR
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Who should i play, Kane, Silva or Kane ??

    1. Im Not Marshal Foch
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Kane's so good you've got him twice

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Silva

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

      I meant Benteke LOL

  27. Im Not Marshal Foch
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I've got the luxury of not knowing who to bench out of;

    Bolasie,
    Sanchez,
    Kane, or
    Murray

    Fancy Palace to nail Hull so hovering over Sanchez.

    Anyone any thoughts?

    1. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Kane

  28. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Let's face it Vardy ain't going get anything against Chelsea and away to Burnley is a red card waiting to happen

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
