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.

      Tough to say, if Krul keeps a cleansheet or gets something lilke 3/4 poinst it probably won't be worth it.

    So Mourinho said this yesterday..

    “Because we are not sure about Costa we decided Solanke would not play with the under-21s,” he said. “So Didier and Solanke will be in the squad or Didier and Diego if we decide on that tomorrow.

    Does that mean Remy is not in the squad for sure? or does that mean he's starting and he has 2 back up strikers in the squad 🙂

    I think we can safely say that the "Sterling injured" was a made up rumour by a troll. Attention seeking Ben Dinnery didn't help by posting about it.

    I am more worried by the bib theory pictures suggesting that he is not in the Starting XI together with the fact that he has, IMO, looked a bit jaded recently suggesting that a rest may not be out of the question.

    This has put enough doubt in my mind not to get him. I realise that I could miss out on a nice score.
