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.

    Hi! How are ManU likely to lineup today? Will Rooney start upfront?

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

      RvP will I think

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

      Carrick injured so no

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Shaw is injured, so Blind will have to play left back, which probably means Herrera in Carrick's role, meaning Rooney might have to drop in midfield, unless ADM comes in instead.

    Myhill has burnt me the last two GW's.

    Stick with Krul or gamble on Myhill ...?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Myhill was jammy. Why not?

    2. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I did exactly the same over the past 2 weeks. I'm going with Krul this week.

    3. Jax
      • 16 Years

      Myhill away to man u. Play Krul

    Rvp won bpl 2yrs ago...Nasri won 1yr ago...Fabresgas will win ds yr...and Arsenal dun hv 1 in last 11 yrs ...

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      and yet some arsenal fans still boo fab for joining barca and chelsea...

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        For forcing his way out of the club when we really needed him, for then manoeuvring the move away from Barca and joining a rival of Arsenal, managed by the most hated manager of both Barca and Arsenal, kissing the Chelsea badge after being there for 1 week, and then diving for a penalty on his first game back at Arsenal.

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          really cannot blame him for joining chelsea..and him showing loyalty to his new fans especially he is previously from arsenal.

          not so sure about diving though no matter who u play against.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      That's what happens when you're stripped of your best players every year.

  5. Cristi@no R7

    Play Silva or Vardy or Hendo???

    1. OptimusBlack

  6. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I've had a pathetic last 10gws or so. My solid lead of almost 100pts in my minileague has changed to 30pts of chasing back. It starts here, Hendo to ozil.

    1. Gooner Kebab

    2. Jazz!

    If you're looking to catch a rival who's obviously going to captain Hazard, which differential captain would you pick?

    a) Fabregas
    b) Sterling
    c) Coutinho
    d) Silva
    e) Vardy
    f) Kane

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      I am going to say Kun. In the same boat myself. How come he isn't option? Transfer him in and captain him!

      1. jfxm

  13. El Muñeco

    Keep Moreno on the basis that "he should be ok" or transfer to alderwiereld?

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

      Keep

    2. Pointsonthebench

  14. mugharbil
    • 11 Years

    Have 0FT after getting schmeichel and 0.8 ITB

    Davis/schmeichel
    Terry/Bertrand/Skrtel/Bellerin/Bruce
    Henderson/Fabregas/Hazard/Sterling/Albrighton
    Kane/Aguero/Berahino

    What 3 DF to play? Worth taking a hit to get Vardy for Berahino? Also have not confirmed the GK switch but I am confident.

    1. Cristi@no R7
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Terry/ Bertrand/ Skrtel

    2. adammc

    C) Vardy (NEW)

    1. adammc

      Silva but has to be someone else

      1. glufs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Aguero, Sterling, Hazard, Fabregas, Ramsey are the others

        Who to Play ?

        A- Clyne v.s SUN (A)

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I played both. Anyway you can play both? I would go for Clyne though as he will definitely start and has a potential assist chance or maybe even a goal

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

          Ooft, tricky.

          Wasil but very close.

      3. Snapes on a Plane
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Who is a better pick for captain's choice?
        A) RAMSEY
        B) AUGERO
        C) HAZARD

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

          B) Augero

      4. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 10 months ago

        So having taken Remy out for a hit hes bound to seal the deal as a super troll and score isnt he...... might stick some money on it to soften the blow

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

          Haha. Sounds like a decent compromise

          Think you could do better with Keepers and get Grealish over Cambiasso (for the extra cash for keeper) if they're going to left on the bench?!

          1. Yam-es
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

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

          I'd say Ivan has a slightly higher chance.

        2. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Play both.

          50-50

          I'd start Ivanovic, if that's what you're asking.

        Desperate to take a punt this week. Is it a sound idea to do Fabregas --> Mata ?
        I already have Hazard and Terry for Chelsea cover. Thanks

          Tough to bring Mata in after that Evertonp performance. Hows your Arsenal cover?

            I am thinking the same thing. Giroud and Bellerin

          having fab is a differential itself

            I think a lot of ppl have kept him after the DGW. He is owned by 34%

              active players relevant to u might have less than 50% owning fab..i would still call him a differential as u can gain an edge over half of the players.

              sterling aguero hazard kane are highly owned
