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.

    How many points clear at this stage would you say would be safe? I'm 54 clear in cash league but behind in an other non-cash league. Would like to take some chances and climb that league or best just to keep going the way I've been going to ensure win the cash?

    Was thinking - 12 for differentials such as Ramsey and Benteke?

    Cheers

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      I wouldn't.

    2. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      -12 not worth it for this non double gameweek, too many things needed to fall your way for it to work out...

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Nah, play safe to win the cash

    4. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't. -4 maximum in your position I'd say...cash over pride

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Massively Mata.

  4. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Did Sterling to Ramsey late last night because I'm chasing a rival with Sterling? Likely to pay off?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yes.

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe not today?

      Good move, I reckon.

    Ok I think I'm good but I'm honestly torn between:

    A)Pants
    B)Fabianski

    Who would you play?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Christina: are you and Ryan choking? 😕

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 14 Years

      The monkey?

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

        Played last week but the effects of it could last for weeks 😉

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

      Choking? What you mean? It took me 4 months to get back in top 10k after my 2k nosebleed. The only way is up from here. Still enough in my old legs to beat you.

      Ryan, well I can't vouch for pretty boy, but he is probably not able to handle the pressure of being a scout cast star..

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

        Hehe...I noticed as soon as you got near that fabled top 4k, the old nerves kicked in. Good luck! 😉

  7. HVT

    Are Leicester really gonna get another cs today?

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

      Yes. Vardy to score, Cambo too.

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

        I'd worry a little about that foot injury and all those injections, 'flogging a dead horse and all that'

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I only want one if Huth starts

    3. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Doubt it

    4. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Very likely, they played very well against Chelsea. And it IS Newcastle...

    5. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      no, newcastle have scored 3 in 2, will score again, but will draw. 2-2

  8. Andy1
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Stuck at the bottom of the last page!

    I need some help. I am 30 points behind in my mini league, and we both wildcarded last week and ended up with similar teams

    My team is

    Ospina schmeichel
    Terry Moreno Toby pva mcshane
    Hazard Fabregas sterling Henderson cambiasso
    Aguero giroud Kane

    His only differences are
    Ospina, Moreno, Toby, mcshane, Kane to Davis, skrtel, schlupp, wollscheild and n'doye

    How do I beat him?!
    Any suggestions welcome

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Why would you change anything? It's these differences that you need to our score his to make the jump. It will come down to captaincy

      1. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Aguero or hazard?

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

      Maybe shift Chelsea out of your team. He's got three so if you gamble on a team like Spurs or Southampton who have something to fight for it might be the gamble that'll make up the difference in the end

  9. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Just a quick one guys, pick one to play.

    A. Schmeichel
    B. Davis

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

      A-gotta be the home team for me and soton ain't the same without Schneider/Forster

    2. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Def Schmeichel

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else still got Sterling and Henderson. Hoping QPR concede loads today!

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

      me, they owe us BIG time.

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

      Still got then both, and playing both... Although I'm hampered by draft process...

      Would prolly spread my team a little wider if I could

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Went sterling to Ramsey

    4. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'm with Bannana man. I'm owed big time by Coutinho, Sterling and in particular Moreno

    5. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I do and can't decide which one to bench! Sterling poor form but playing up front, Hendo good form, but hampered by possible Gerard return.....

  11. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    G2G?

    Guzan
    Koscielny, Skrtel, Terry
    Hazard (c), Henderson, Sanchez, Cazorla
    Kane (v), Vardy, Aguero

    Bench: Myhill, Bertrand, Williams, Phillips

    Today's hot topic.

    Do you think that single men have a big advantage of married men when it comes to fantasy football? More time to analyse the stats and watch footy whilst us married men are out in the garden or keeping the wife happy.

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

      As long as I score Im happy.

      😉

        With his wife in the garden?

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

          His and Epic fail's...

      3. Jafalad
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Hmmm....it's been noticed. 😉

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

      Im not single, still doing pretty well.

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

        I've got this theory that 99% of the top 100 overall are all single men. 😕

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          And the other 1% doesn't like his wife.

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

          Well, guess im the one in the top 100 who isnt single then 🙂 Good for me 🙂

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

            You have my vote for ff Player of the Year. 😉

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

              Hehe, thanks! 😛 Still a long way to go and going to be hard to stay in the top 100 🙂

      2. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Me too. Being married for a few years and have won my mini league 2 of the last 3 years, and finished second in the other year. Over analysis is what causes failure

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

          This. Alot of people over analyse and come make boarderline/bad decisions.

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

          Sex the night before also plays its part too, I'd imagine.

    3. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Nonsense - if anything the opposite is true.
      Singles = hectic social life/last min transfers
      Married = All week hiding from missus on scout in jax!

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

        Single men that play ff tend not to have a social life. Most of them are nerds that spend all day pouring over the members' stats.

        1. Andy1
          • 16 Years

          Bit of An over generalisation there

          1. Jafalad
            • 16 Years

            You know the type. 😉

            I think the whole question is an over generalisation Andy.

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

              We'll only know that when some stats are done.

                Well no point in discussing it so,
                Anywhere on the members table I can filter singles V Wedded?

                1. Jafalad
                  • 16 Years

                  No idea. Go back to discussing it.

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

          I'm as good as married but still doing poorly even though the weekend means fantasy football and more of it for me with the kids hogging the tv

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

            See...this is what I mean. Single men have none of these dilemnas.

      I only started getting into fantasy football after moving in with my missus. As a single man, I was too busy doing other stuff and playing football. I've been lucky that I could access the site at work (until recently).

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        This is actually my point, thanks Fuml.

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

      I've been married the whole of my fantasy life so I've nothing to gauge the question on but I'd say the partnership would need counselling if I wasn't afforded sufficient time to get my team in order..having said that,my rank suggests the divorce court is looming

      1. Jafalad

    I've got Aguero Kane Vardy Haz and Sanchez but my choice of captain is veering dangerously towards Sanchez. Any thoughts?

      Seems like there are better options in your squad. Hazard or Aguero.

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

      Bit risky

  17. AllyS
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play Clyne or Bellerin?

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin

    2. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Vellerin

    3. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin

  18. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Kolarov back to being benched again?

    Clichy is sh1te anyway, don't know why he plays

  19. Gilberto.
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play Schlupp or Clyne? Currently on Schlupp but not sure if he'll start

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

      Clyne.

    2. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Start Schlupp and you will have Clyne as sub if Schlupp gets no mins

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

        Might be the option! Don't fancy a 1 pointer if he comes off the bench though!

  20. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Well, well, well it's that time of the week again!

    I'm currently playing this midfield:

    Hazard Sterling Coutinho Young (Chadli)

    Is the right guy benched or should someone else be? 😉

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Bench one of the pool boys maybe?

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

    Fabregas | Sterling | Hazard | Silva | Henderson
    Aguero | Vardy | Kane

    bench one among them..

    Thanks!

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

      Henri, Gerrard back on pens... Less upside

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      henderson

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Silva, do I having doubts with Yaya out

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

      Bench Vardy or Henderson or Kane 😛 Hard one that 😛

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

      Silva/Hendo/Vardy
      Don't ask which one tho!

  22. dA4s
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play Silva or Fabregas? Who is most likely to score more?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Silva

  23. Always (C)ane
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play Ospina or Kasper?

    Which 1 to bench? Schlupp, Moreno, PvA

    Thank you

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

      Ospina & Moreno (hopefully he start, if not you should have PvA as first sub)

  24. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 11 Years

    Everytime I want to transfer Kolorov in; Clichy coming back from dead!

  25. Darth_Newdar

    Should I get in an Arsenal MF for this GW? If so, who for, out of Coutinho, Sterling and Silva?

    Something that I'd like to add about the Kun vs Hazard captaincy. I am personally going with Kun. I think those who think Chelsea will win the title in style and are captaining hazard mainly for that should consider the following:

    1) Changing style of play doesn't come with a flip of a switch. Chelsea have been playing defensively for more than 2 months now. You can't just go back to scoring 4 goals and ripping teams apart.

    2) Mourinho won't change tactics in the most important game of the season now especially against Palace. Palace are deadly away from home. Much better than at home. They have skillfull and pacy wingers in Zaha and Bolasie. Mourinho knows that and will instruct Azpi and Ivan to sit back. Don't expect a goal fest.

    3) This will be Chelsea's 3rd game in 7 days. They will be a bit tired.

    4) Palace will play with no pressure. They won't roll over. This is their biggest game of teh seasons against champions elect and they will want to crash the party. Expect a difficult game.

    On the other hand, Kun and City hav a terrific record against Spurs, Kun will probably play as a lone striker in a difficult away game, City still fighting for 2nd place and Spurs defense is generally crap.

      Nice thoughts.
      You're still captaining Hazard though aren't you?

    2. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I would probably agree but City are just so volatile! Plus no yaya

    3. Darth_Newdar

      10 years, 10 months ago

      All good arguments, but Hazard only needs to score the one goal to get 3 bonus, and score as much as Ageuro with two goals.

      No yaya tho

  27. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years

    Start Toby or Moreno (already starting skrtel)?

    1. SpinyNorman [*_*]
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Double on liverpool

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

      liv good chance of cs today so could be good move,dont always like double def, horrible when they concede ! qpr fighting for pts,may fancy getting something today as liv not been in best form

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Chances of a Southampton cleanie but?

  28. ktk_interista

    Play Myhill or Davis? Davis is the logical pick but I am worried about Soton's away form and the fight Sunderland will put up.

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

      Davis.

  30. Gaz_b
    • 16 Years

    Play Henderson or Cambiasso?

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

      both

    2. RED PILL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Same as, I can't decide neither done anything in double gameweek. Henderson has pens if Gerrard don't play. Cambiasso is playing a woeful Newcastle.
