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.

      Ya looks good

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Quite a narrow band of players in the game right now.

  2. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Captain Kun, Hazard, Sanchez or Sterling?

    1. Doctor X
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero, with his record vs Tottenham. That being said, Hazard is great too. But he looks knackered to me.

    Sad to hear Rio Ferdinand's wife has passed. Life is too short. RIP. Thoughts with Rio.

      Very sad news.

      Terribly sad news, 3 kids as well. Just shows how insignificance football really is

      Are you sure? Rio was still tweeting about JT yesterday. Would he be doing that if his wife was at death's door?

      Jesus. That's terrible.
      They're the same age as me and my wife.
      Tragic.

      1. Davido989

      Horrible news for Rio.

      Sad day for the club.

      Absolutely devastating news. As a parent and husband myself I can't think of much worse things than losing your wife and mother of your children.

    6. Home Run Baker

      How very sad.

  4. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Who to play?

    K Davis or schmeichel

    Then which two:

    Schlupp, Toby, PVA

    ?

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hmmm, very tricky. I'd personally get on a bookies website and go by clean sheet odds.

  5. 3 years & counting

    Should I keep Sterling or transfer him out for Ramsey?

    1. Hypnos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      next week

    2. George Weah
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      keep

    3. Pariße
      • 11 Years

      Keep

  6. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    What's the verdict?

    A - fab/sterling to Sanchez
    B - save the transfer

    1. Messi & fabregas
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      b

    2. waldo666
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A with Fabs. I don't know why people are saying save tbh. I did Fabs to Rambo to beat is price rise and then will do Sterling to Sanchez next week.

      Would rather keep Sterling against QPR this week and drop Fabs for Rams this week. Fabs playing deep, out of form, terrible last half of season and not getting many points. Rams in form, scoring really well and has been Arsenals best mid point wise past 5/6 games!!

  7. Doctor X
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone here actually bought in Benteke instead of Giroud, please raise your hands?

    My gut says to do the move, but logic is opposing it so much 🙁 Not too confident on the decision

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years

      me o/

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years

        tho i cant afford gru without a -4

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes..but then I bought in Giroud too!

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      next week. but will do

  8. El Copo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsey or Ozil? Ramsey seems the obvious choice, but the comparison tool on here strongly favours Ozil.

    1. 3 years & counting
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsey

    2. Don Andres
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I prefer Øzil

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

    I m 30 points behind ML leader he doesn't own augero so he ll possibly captain hazard or giroud!
    So in that case I should captain augero right?

  10. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Better option for this week only - Ramsey (hul) or Sterling (QPR)?

    1. Hypnos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling

    2. Doctor X
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Sterling.

  11. Ostrich Baby
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Right XI, captain and bench? Also have a FT left.

    Ospina

    Moreno, Ivanovic, Alderweireld

    Sterling Ramsey (vc) Hazard (c) Silva

    Vardy Kane Aguero

    Subs: Schmeichel, Henderson, Schlupp, Duff

  12. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Silva + Henderson >> Sanchez + bench player (-4)

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Pointsonthebench
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nay

  13. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ricky Fatbert starts today. Trying our best to avoid europa league is the only valid explanation, I hope..

    1. CHANCING PUNT
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is Moreno?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He's fit to play. I haven't read anywhere whether he starts or not though

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling worth keeping do you think? Can get Sanchez for free?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'd keep for one last week. Surely capable of doing something to QPR

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

    3. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty much impossible to avoid Europa unless villa win the cup

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Up the villa

    4. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      And here I'm hoping we tried to ease off our youngster into next season ..

    5. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      What have you got against Lambert? He hasn't been given a chance IMO

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        A 31 odd year old who's pretty average, should never be leading the line for Liverpool

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          this is his first average season

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            small fish in a big pond

        2. Bob.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He is still your best fit striker. Has a very good goalscoring record also.

      2. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Same can be said about Borini, where is his chances after all this past seasons?

    6. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      not sure if balo when fit is a better option or not though

  14. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Repost
    Play it safe and save transfer or :
    A) Walters to grealish
    B) remy to Benteke
    C) silva to ozil

    1. George Weah
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      save

    2. Melvin Udall
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      B
      It's what I did.

  15. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Double Sunderland defence or spread the risk and play Toby instead of Pva?

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      play the guy that u think will have a higher chance of CS

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Dunno I think they both will concede.

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          if u think both will concede then play PVA

    2. George Weah
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      play toby, could easily be a 0-0

  16. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    pacman v mayweather is going to be a dud aint it 😕

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They're always a dud....Boxing is 90% hype and 10% substance most of the time.

    2. The Abyss
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldn't have thought so.

    3. Big Bad Barry
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Cash Cow draw 16-1!

      1. The Abyss
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I normally have a bit of a flutter on the boxing but I fancy Mayweather on points (as always) but it's way too short at 4/5 to bother.

    4. Melvin Udall
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They'll knock each other out in the last round after 12 rounds of breathtaking punching and knockdown....then have to do it all again later in the year for even more money.

      Nah...Mayweather to win by knockout.

  17. Melvin Udall
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Dear sirs
    What is the current concensus of (C) choice?
    A Haz

    C Aguero
    D Other (who?)

    1. Melvin Udall
      • 12 Years

      Naf all after captaining haz last week makes me want to go elsewhere this week.

  23. Big Bad Barry

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Winning one ML by 6pts (very tight) and 4th in another also very tight. Do i try a differential captain?
    Or go with the majority and captain Haz who looks shattered

    1. Doctor X
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He really does look knackered.

    2. George Weah
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      stick with Haz in my opinion. Use others for differential.

    Im stuck and need help,

    Vardy to Giroud
