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.

        was more worried about having no Arsenal coverage than having triple 'pool coverage.

          • 16 Years

      Silva has QPR at home next week...

      1. Viper

        Wait a week and do Cesc -> Ramsey next week?

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Just do Fabs to Rams now. No point waiting a week IMO. Rambo in form and playing forward, Fabs not in form and playing deep. Well thats how I see it so dod the transfer before Rambo went up 🙂

      Aguero hasn't scored that often away from home but when he does.......he scores 2.

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Thinking about changing to Kun

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

        It has the potential to be a 0-0 damp squid or a 4-4 goal bonanza

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

        He's scored 12 away from home this season

      10 years, 10 months ago

      I just realised that my ml leader is a bit of a "insert rude word here" as he took a 12pt hit last week to effectively copy my team and now our teams differ by just the 4 benched players. Is it worth me taking a -4 to get a differential pick and try to gain ground?

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

        Hehhe, thats funny 😀 How far behind are you? I wouldnt take a hit for the sake of having different players. Just make sure you dont have the same cpt as him =)

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years

          47pts behind ðŸ™

            10 years, 10 months ago

            Make sure u have different cpt, and make especially in the Arsenal dgw. You might have to take a risky apporach, either way its going to be very hard to gain 50 points.

            The way you have to do it is by gambling on your cpt choice.

          Hey Doos!! Thanks for the feedback! Was on Hazard the entire week but suddenly find myself going towards Aguero.

          Anyways it's awesome to see you around, may you have a smooth recovery process and I hope to see more of your posts over the next few months ahead!

          COYI! (learnt a few chants from the west ham supporters during my first ever match there recently. Was a crazy game and gutters they didn't win Stoke.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3. Viper
        • 16 Years

        Vardy. Never underestimate the element of determination/desperation in a team

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

        Serious answer, Kun by far.

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

        Vardy should be low on the list of potential captains. He played midweek and had to have foot injections before the match against Burnley so he could very easily get a sub appearance. Also he isn't exactly a prolific goalscorer.

        1. Colonel Shoe è‚æ± 
          • 14 Years

      Anyone got any views on whether Zooms will start or pick up a 1 point cameo? Trying to select 3 from him, Bellerin, Schlupp, Alderweireld & skrtel. £200 quid off a bloke I hate at work pretty much rides rides on this...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

          Vardy is in form and arguably has the best fixture possible this week!

          I wouldn't. He will either play or won't I reckon. Newcastle have conceded an average of 2goals per game in the last 6. Leicester pushing hard.

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        I'd bench Henderson. The two Pool games I watched in the DGW was torture. They were just awful going forward. This city game always has goals. No YYT is a worry for city and they are usually shite without him but I see city winning.

            Well I thought hull and wbm were good fixtures also. They are poor atm and qpr fighting.

          I would play Silva over Fabs/Hendo but more so Fabs

        A) sterling to sanchez

        B) vardy to giroud

        C) save

        1. Ramboo

          B or C, not A.

          I went for B, but it would suck if Kane or Aguero gets injuried.

          Looking at the same options myself

        Most likely clean sheet this week, Arsenal or Southampton?

        Would you rather start Moreno or Bellerin?

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

          Bellerin.

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

          I'd go with Moreno ( nothing to do with owning him). If he plays I'd say more chance of a cleanie

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

          No, Bellerin more likely to play 90 minutes. If youre unlicky Moreno gets a cameo.

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

            No, as in play Bellerin.

        Any changes required? Something I've not done too often this season is go with my gut feeling, which is why I'm sticking with Benteke as my captain choice, reckon he'll grab a brace today.

        Heaton
        Terry Skrtel Bertrand
        Hazard Silva Hendo Cambiasso
        Aguero Giroud Benteke(c)

        Myhill Stones Kouyate Wisdom
