We’ve tasked the Sky Blues’ marquee forward, the Red Devils’ reborn midfielder and Liverpool’s fleet-footed playmaker with overhauling Paddy in this week’s iteration of Fantasy Flutter.

Our first wager this week has us eyeing up Sergio Aguero as he pays visit to one of his favourite hunting grounds: White Hart Lane. The Argentinian striker netted seven goals in his previous three starts against Tottenham Hotspur – including a four-goal haul in the reverse fixture – and boasts great form in the league (four goals in three). As such, Paddy’s 12/1 offer on Aguero to score two or more goals and City to keep a clean sheet has tempted us to part with our first £3.

Marouane Fellaini’s resurgence under Louis van Gaal renders the Belgian an enticing target for our second punt. The former Everton stalwart – who’s notched two goals in six starts – has evolved into the focal point of the Red Devils’ attack, chalking up more shots inside the box (six) than any other United midfielder. Considering the Baggies have recorded the fewest away goals (11) in the league this term, Paddy’s 11/2 offer on Fellaini to score and United to keep a clean sheet has us handing over a further £3.

Philippe Coutinho is the subject of our final, and favourite, bet in this round of fixtures. Despite drawing a blank in the last six Gameweeks, no midfielder has fashioned more attempts on target (nine) than the Brazilian starlet over that stretch. Allied with the fact that the Reds recorded shut-outs in nine of their previous 14 outings, Paddy’s 4/1 odds on Coutinho to score and Liverpool to keep a clean sheet  have encouraged us to invest our final £4.

      Solid

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Perhaps Cambiasso over Fellaini

  4. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Feck. Ramsey and Giroud both rising last night prices me out of getting them in this week by 0.1. Time for a rethink!

    1. Point Magnets
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Just go cazolra

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

        Hmm, could do, cheers!

        Also considering Koscielny instead of Ramsey, which means I could afford a Vardy > Wickham punt in GW37.

  5. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Silva has 10 points in his last 4 games 😕

    1. Point Magnets
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      His due his burst

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      why are you mcshamed?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Lost a bet last week that he'd score 4+ points... lol

  6. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    is starting Schlupp over Hendo a bad decision?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    2. Sydney Saints
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Ordinarily I would think do it. But is Schlupp going to start?

  7. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Benching headache..... Please help pick one?
    Current vote;

    Hazard (0%) Fabregas (11%) Sterling (6%) Henderson (41%) Silva (18%)
    Vardy (6%) Aguero (0%) Kane (18%)

    1. Sydney Saints
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Think I'd bench Silva. He's looked a bit disinterested lately………….

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

      Silva.

    3. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Ok, at least it's narrowed down to Henderson or Silva?

      Hendo (37%)
      Silva (32%)

  8. Sydney Saints
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Really want to start Cambiasso, but can't decide who to bench.

    Rest of the attack is
    Coutinho, Sterling, Fabs, Hazard
    Kane, Aguero, Giroud.

    Any advice? Or should I leave Cambiasso on the bench?

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

      i would leave him on bench

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

      Definitely leave on the bench

    3. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      You gotta leave him on the bench with that 7

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

      Obviously bench.

      1. Sydney Saints
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        OK bench it is. Thanks everyone!

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

      Bench Cambiasso

    6. NABIL - FPL otai

      what they said

  9. Zombie
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Trying again on new post for some more responses:

    a) Schmeichel or Panti
    b) PvA or Smalling or Morgan
    c) Fab or Nd'oye

    Really confused

    1. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Schmeichel Smalling N Doye imo

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

        Even my gut is liking Nd'oye over Fab but the logic says Fab

    2. Sydney Saints
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Panti
      Morgan
      Fab

      Unless you really want to double up on sunderland or leicester defence……. If you are chasing, then pick one team for a clean sheet and roll the dice……...

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

        Not chasing but leading by only 5 points (overtook 40 point lead last week)

        At present Schmeichel and Smalling (not doubling on Lei and not playing Sunderland at all). You think Morgan is better than Smalling ?

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Kasper
      Smalling
      Fab

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

        Thanks mate, this is what I am at right now. Mainly worried about Fab vs. Ndoye

  10. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

      benteke ags/under 2.5 lei v new looks a good bet

      1. 5678
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Why under 2.5 in the Leicester game?

          1. Get up ya bum

          Thanks man. WC last week

      2. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah looks great. Who would you bench from Silva, Vardy, Coutinho mate?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Cheers Innsie

          Tough. Maybe Silva, even without Yaya.

        2. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Wait, I'm having second thought. Maybe Vardy, since I don;t like to keep a biggie on the bench 😉

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Sounds like you're as confused as I am! Thanks anyway 🙂

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Indeed I am 😀 Considering it's porous TOT, Silva wins it. Go for it mate.

        3. Jonny Bananas
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Silva, probably. Not sure Silva scored v.well without Yaya around though, 7 points max during 5 weeks

    4. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Would you play Moreno or Silva this week?

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

        silva

    5. jsborgen
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      A) Sterling to Ramsey
      B) Silva, Austin to Ramsey, Giroud -4? Or just Silva to Ramsey...
      C) Do one premium def to Bellerin to get funds
      D) Save FT

      My team is

      Panti (Davis)
      Skrtel Iva Terry Morgan PvA
      Haz Silva Cambiasso Hendo Sterling
      Aguero Kane Austin

    6. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Play Ospina or Schmeichel?

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

        schmeichel

      2. Wiz
        • 12 Years

        Ospina

      3. Ramboo
        • 12 Years

        Ospina, i told you so earlier!

      4. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Ospina

      5. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Ospina

      6. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Schmeichel both teams scoring in that game imo might aswel go for save points

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Both hull and arsenal will score is what I meant

    7. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Is there any oversight of The Fantasy Flutter? A follow up article expressing penitence later in the week. Then a YouTube flogging.

    8. dehat
      • 11 Years

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

        Yeah maybe, you might want to consider Can (c) & Shaw (c)

      2. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Just transferred him in but (C) no 😎

        1. Dvorak-RTH
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          WBa

          1. Mark-O
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Do a A or D. You should sell Naughton for Bellerin first if u want to?

            1. Dvorak-RTH
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Yeah was worried abt bellerin's game time for the double....will go for A probably
              and sought Naughton afterwards....Thanks

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

      Loving all of these Silva sales. With YaYa out, Silva will be 100% playing behind Aguero threading through the most delightful through balls over 90 mins for another thrashing.

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

        Yeah, cause he has been in great form lately?

        1. Guidinho
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I thnk he is alluding to the fact that YYT has been so greedy and atrocious of late that his absence will make Silva see more of the ball.

          There is no questioning Silva's quality so form is less of a concern with me, its not like we are talking about Jamie Vardy

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

            Thank you for confirming my point, sir.

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

        Only that City has struggled without Yaya. Check their results/performances during ANC

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

          doesn't matter as long Silva scores (FPL speaking)

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

            true. but if you play poorly, you are less likely to score

      3. JaydenLFC87
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Could justify Aguero (C) Still think I'm going Haz tho..

      4. Wiz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I think Lampard will play behind Aguero, Silva on the left

    11. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Is Fab > Ramsey too much of a sideways transfer this week?

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        If it is a FT then go ahead!

        1. JaydenLFC87
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          It is:)

      2. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Transfer the word 'madness' for sideways 😀

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

        Save FT

    12. Congressman
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I have no Arsenal cover at the moment. Should I sell Fabregas for Ozil? Or save transfer?

      Can't afford Sanchez right now.

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

        Who are your strikers? Can't get giroud?

        1. Congressman
          • 14 Years

          Kane Aguero and Vardy. Not enough money to get Giroud.

      After considering so many factors switched armband from Hazard to Aguero

      Feeling nervous.since most in top10 k will captain Hazard

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

        I don't trust city without yaya. i moved it the other way around. at least one of us will get it right 🙂

          • 13 Years

          Its not like yaya has been.great this season. Lampard xould easily fill in for him

        Top 10k will be close between the two

      For GW37 what's the plan regarding Arsenal players?

      A) 1 GK or Def + 1 Mid + Gru
      B) 2 Mid + Gru
      C) Other

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

        A for me. Already set with Ospina / Alexis / Giroux

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

        B for me. Got gru and ramsey now

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

        Cheers guys its a tough choice. Didn't have a WC last gw & no Arsenal players atm. Had planned for 2 mids + Gru but with rotation considering Koscielny.

      Thanks

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

        Most people think Hazard

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

        Depends what you are trying to achieve.
        Haz is the safe option

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Okay ML-in lead (20pts)oppo has vardy but cant afford haz

      1FT. Only 0.2m in the bank

      Is my team set up right?
      Any transfers you'd make?

      Remember. One week focus only!

      Team

      Migs

      Terry Ivanovic Coleman

      Hazard Sterling Hendo Ramsey

      Kun(vc) Giroud(c) Kane

      Bench. Davis. Cresswell. Monreal. Philips.

      1. James101

        10 years, 10 months ago

        And is it mad to cap'n Giroud?

        Great firm but he's not the popular choice it appears...

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

      Who else punting on Remy this week? might as well keep him since i have him.. swap to Giroud next week

      1. 5678
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I don't have him, but I'd keep him if I did.

        • fantoom
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Yup, doing exactly the same. Was all set to bring Giroud in last night but I think he stands a better chance at points today and took the price rise on the nose

        Which defence do we think is most likely to concede?

        A) Aston Villa
        B) Crystal Palace

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

          CPL by far

        2. James101
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Yes

        3. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Palace

        4. Mark-O
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          B

          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks, a reason to captain Hazard then. Although there are other cons.

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

            who was you other option? Lukaku?

              Aguero
