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.

    This is my team:

    Panti
    Skrtel Ivan Bertrand
    Sterling Silva Walters Hazard Sanchez
    Kane Murray

    (Berahino Bellerín PvA Howard)

    Is it smart to do Berahino -> Vardy for a second hit? Any other transfer tips?

    So Sterling trained on Thursday and I fully believe the injury rumours were just rumours. However he was wearing an orange bib.

    In green bibs: Skrtel, Balo, Hendo, Coutinho, Markovic, Allen.
    In orange bibs: Sterling, Kolo, Lallana, Gerrard.

    What to make of this (if anything) ? Could Sterling be benched after turning down the big contract??

        Not the same though.

        That Pulis team was playing like they'd already achieved safety.

        Burnley at home are tough and will know this is s game they need to win to have any realistic hope of staying up.

        Leicester are still fragile defensively and I can see Burnley taking advantage of that. 2-1 home win for me.

    On WC and trying to finalise a team. Would love any feedback. Currently have it as this:

    DDG (Myhill)
    Terry Skrtel Clyne (Duff) (Vlaar)
    Hendo Sterling Hazard (C) Fab (Grealish)
    Kane Aguero Ndoye (VC)

    2.0 in the bank so I can fix my team up after this week. I would really like to keep Silva in place of of Skrtel but that means I would have to downgrade to a non DGW defender. I could also work something that I play a midfield 5 of Silva, Hendo, Sterling, Hazard and Fab, meaning I'd drop Ndoye.
