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.

    1. whitters_2014
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      both a and b look solid options but I would argue not this week, so c?

    2. Pat Bonner

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

      Cheers guys, looks like save might be the way to go

    5. ebb2sparky
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I have exactly the same starting XI but 5.0 ITB. I was going to save but think i'll probably sell hendo for sanchez

  3. whitters_2014
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    how to play this lads?
    I am 20 behind my leader, who has made 3 transfers. (-8)

    pants
    huth kos terry (rose bruce)
    fab haz (c) cout hendo sterling
    vardy kane (ndoye)

    I know its poor.... any suggestions? Am I "free" to take a hit or two now? or?

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

      how much ITB? can you do N'Doye -> Giroud?

      1. whitters_2014
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I can, that's a good shout thank you!

  4. John Obi Wan Mikel
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard captain for me, home game to win the season to hard to pass up on, plus if you factor in agueros last goal was literally handed to him on a platter and city really aren't on the good of form, just seems obvious to go for hazard imo

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

      ok.

      not all the goals scored by aguero are on the platter though

      1. John Obi Wan Mikel
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        True,

      2. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        City are not on form but Aguero is having scored in 4 goals in 3 consecutive games.

        Oh, Hazard does and can blank for 3 games in a row, check his history, he's blanked 4 in a row before.

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Also, it was obvious to go Hazard last week.

        2. John Obi Wan Mikel
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I personally can't count the villa goal towards his form, hazard hasn't blanked 4 games? Unless you're referring to games outside the pl?

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Why not? They all count and it's counts just as much as a Hazard pen.

            1. John Obi Wan Mikel
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Take a chill pill bro

          2. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            He blanked in GW 3, 4, 5 and 6 and then had 3 GW'S of blanks a few months ago.

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Actually, that's wrong. He got assists.

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

      Giroud to wipe the smile of that storm trooper face 😀

      1. John Obi Wan Mikel
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Thats fine with me I'm an arsenal fan 😛

  5. ۩۞۩Tommo727™۩۞۩

  7. messithedon
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Slim lead in a cash game. Rival has giroud this week also Sanchez as differentials.. I have Kane kun vardy would u take a -4 hit to bring in Sanchez for silva he hasn't got and aguero for giroud to block off and also prepare for the dgw?!
    Extremely stuck at the moment

  8. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    For this GW only.

    Sanchez or Fabregas?

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

      Fab

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years

      Coin. Toss

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

      Fab

    4. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez.

      Can see Fabregas playing deeper and Oscar coming in.

    5. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 10 months ago

        To me this is obvious. Any Arsenal MID for Fabs. Playing deep, not in form etc I could go on. I just ditched for Rambo due to his rise and will get getting Sanchez in next week.

    6. adammc
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Play two please.

    7. mugharbil

    9. phantasm

          Soccer AM just announced it, the female presenter wasnt visibly upset. She said to go donate to a cancer chairty so I presume that was it but dont quote me on that

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

        Aguero. Scores more goals.

      2. Home Run Baker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Aguero, can't get the 3rd game in a week out of my head, fear fatigue and some subs when the game is won.

        what do you think of this

        1) Berahino to Vardy for a hit???
        2) 4 men Defence of Terry, Bertrand, Skrtel, Bellerin

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

          1. Wouldn't mind to do that
          2. Depends on who you're benching

    14. the grinder
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Bench one.

      Fabregas, Henderson or Vardy?

      (Have Hazard and Sterling)

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

        Henderson

      2. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years

        Hendo

    15. boyler
      • 12 Years

      Start cambiasso or grealish ?

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

        I have both on the bench, Grealish first to come on

    16. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Alder (Sun) or Albrighton (NEW) first on bench? Currently have Alder.

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

          Alder

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

        trailing by 24 pts

        leader will probably captain hazard

        1) captain haz and hope giroud covers some ground (leader doesnt have giroud)
        2) captain giroud
        3) captain kun

        Nigel Pearson is a dick.
        Reminds me of a policeman or a weak school teacher. No genuine authority, so resorts to chest beating, bullying and calm aggression.
        Dick.

        1. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          So the police don't have genuine authority?

          That's how it works in Hazzard County.

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

            Haha!

            It's the way he talks down to people with an undertone of a threat of violence. Patronising and annoying. Just like every conversation I've ever had with the police.

      • Hypnos
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        might sell Hazard for Alexis for the DGW, I reckon he won't need to be as explosive and could get less minutes after they've secured the title.
        Thoughts?

        1. Home Run Baker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Why not. Only 2 GWs to go by then, and CHE will have it wrapped up. Hazard could be rested or subbed early.

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

          I'm not a believer in one season's form following the same pattern as the last one. For those that do, Haz was quiet at the end of last season

        Why are City worse off without Yaya even though he has been shite all season? How does that affect them tactically? He offers nothing in attack or defense this year. Just a physical presence.

      • Pariße
        • 10 Years

        Özil or Sanchez?

          Does anyone have the stats for Kun vs Hazard captaincy in top 50k? I understand its pretty close in top 10k.
