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
        10 years, 10 months ago

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

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

    Captain Kun, Hazard, Sanchez or Sterling?

    1. Doctor X
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 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

        Sends shivers

      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

    Who to play?

    K Davis or schmeichel

    Then which two:

    Schlupp, Toby, PVA

    ?

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 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
      10 years, 10 months ago

      next week

    2. George Weah
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      keep

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Keep

  6. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    What's the verdict?

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

    1. Messi & fabregas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      b

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 10 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!!

    4. Doctor X
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 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

          tho i cant afford gru without a -4

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yes..but then I bought in Giroud too!

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

        next week. but will do

    5. El Copo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. 3 years & counting
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Ramsey

      2. Don Andres
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I prefer Øzil

    6. Snapes on a Plane
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 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?

    7. Tmel
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

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

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

        Sterling

      2. Doctor X
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Probably Sterling.

    8. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 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

    9. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

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

      Yay or Nay?

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

        Nay

    10. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 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
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Is Moreno?

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 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
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

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

        Pretty much impossible to avoid Europa unless villa win the cup

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years

          Up the villa

      4. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years

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

      5. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 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
            10 years, 10 months ago

            this is his first average season

            1. Davido989
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              small fish in a big pond

          2. Bob.
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

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

        2. Van Klinkert Delarosa
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

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

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

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

    11. waltzingmatildas

      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
        10 years, 10 months ago

        save

      2. Melvin Udall

        B
        It's what I did.

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

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

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

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

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

          Dunno I think they both will concede.

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

            if u think both will concede then play PVA

      2. George Weah
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        play toby, could easily be a 0-0

    13. Colonel Shoe 肝池

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

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. The Abyss
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I wouldn't have thought so.

      3. Big Bad Barry
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Cash Cow draw 16-1!

        1. The Abyss
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 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
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 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.

    14. Melvin Udall

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

      D Other (who?)

      1. Melvin Udall
        • 11 Years

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

      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 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
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        He really does look knackered.

      2. George Weah
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

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

      Im stuck and need help,

      Vardy to Giroud

      3. George Weah
