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.

    So I've gone with the ballsy pick of vardy (c) but am starting to have real doubt's now. Should I switch to one of hazard or kun?

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

      Sissy :p

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

        I feel like vardy will maybe get a goal and assist but then kun will get like a hat trick.

      Hmm, tired, early kick off and carrying an injury. That is probably a bit too ballsy.

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

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

        Belle for me. I can see a NEW goal today.

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

        Tricky. Maybe Bellerin ...

    14. Barcelinda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez over Ramsey and hendo?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Always

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

        Yes.

      3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Yes, imo.

    15. BantamPhil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      If Wenger is worried about Sanchez missing the start of next season maybe he should rest him for a few games before the FA cup

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

        Hopefully he rests him against Hull so I can bring him in next week nice and fresh

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

        Not the same as a summer break though, is it?

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

          No, but it's better than nothing

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

            It's as good as nothing. If a player needs a month break, giving him a week off is pointless.

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

      Start Bertie or Toby? Toby will be playing further up since Schneiderlin is out, I think. He is also getting more opportunities to score than both full backs are

      After having the captaincy on hazard for most of the week, I now suddenly find myself leaning towards Aguero 😕

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years

        tough decision for you to make! you're going to be kicking yourself if it backfires.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years

          Quite honestly I like Vardy this week, but not the time for me to take unnecessary risks
