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.

      10 years, 10 months ago

      Wickham is more of a gamble, but it is that time of year to roll the dice 🙂

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

    Have 1FT and 1.2 ITB
    Plus a 52pt lead in mini league
    Suggestions? Want to bring in Kasper as my chaser has him as GK... Also maybe Berahino for Vardy...

    Is this complete nonsense?

    Davis/Jakupovic
    Terry/Bertrand/Skrtel/Bellerin/Bruce
    Henderson/Fabregas/Hazard/Sterling/Albrighton
    Kane/Aguero/Berahino

  3. jfxm
    • 11 Years

    I've got Krul and Lloris as my goalkeepers. Who do I play or who do I replace them with?

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

      Lloris to Ospina

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Ospina the one

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

    I need a differential captain other than Hazard or Aguero.

    Sanchez or Giroud best bet?

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

      Vardy

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years

      Undoubtedly A.

  6. Sir_Durs8
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Eriksen to ramsey worth a 4pt hit?

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

      Depends if Ramsey scores

    2. v12w12
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yes for me.

    3. Mr. Perfectionist

    4. Pointsonthebench

    5. Sir_Durs8

      Thanks all. I've done it.

  7. Congressman
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Schmeichel
    Terry Skrtel Moreno
    Hazard (c) Fabregas Silva Sterling
    Kane Vardy Aguero

    Subs: K.Davis Cambiasso PvA Duff

    Any thoughts? No Arsenal cover is worrying me a bit..

    1. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I am playing Canbiasso and benching Sterling, I think that Sterling will not get the points over Cambiasso.

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

      Do you have FT left?

  8. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    Bottom!

    Right to bench Silva? http://imgur.com/8oOqGF8

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

      I believe so

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Feels wrong.

        I think Fabregas is the only other one I'd consider, maybe Henderson

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

      I would bench Vardy instead.

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

        or Fabregas

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

          and play Panti

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            The goalkeeper one is interesting. Most others in same situation playing Pantilimon. I think I'm going to back Southampton

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

        Vardys been on fire recently playing a team who can't defend to save their lives!

      3. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        In-form against Newcastle though?!

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

      Would bench hendo

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        This as I said before

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

      I am in same boat! Why did you choose Silva over Sterling?

  9. Mr. Perfectionist
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    All set?

    Heaton
    Terry Skrtel Alder
    Sterling Hendo Silva Hazard(vc)
    Giroud Vardy Aguero(c)

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

    Is De Jong likely to start for Newcastle?

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

      no. see scout tweets.

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

      No. Not fit enough.

    3. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Very much so. They need him.

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

      And here's some very, very early Newcastle team news.

      Striker Emmanuel Riviere will start, while fellow forward Siem de Jong is likely to come off the bench, having got 90 minutes under his belt for the Under 21s this week.

      So that's Riviere with no goals in 19 league games.

      Thanks everyone.

  13. 41212 Bayol
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    why is everyone so high on fellaini?

    not questioning it, just want to know what's behind it
    his position (CM in 4-3-3) isn't really that encouraging

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Gets forward

      Is there hype about Fellaini?

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

      Doesn't matter what the newspaper prints as being his position...he's forever up and around that penalty box.

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

      I'm only ickle but if I was on Fellaini's affro even I'd be high

  14. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    GW8...

    City 4 - 1 Spurs
    Southampton 8 - 0 Sunderland

    GW35...

    Spurs ? - ? City
    Sunderland ? - ? Southampton

    Fate?

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

      0-0
      0-0

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

        that would hurt a few

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

    Chance of Schlupp starting?

    1. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      high

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

        Cheers. Would you bench Bellerin or Fonte for him?

        1. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Fonte. Bellerin much more chance of points I think.

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

      95% apparently

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

    GTG

    Panti
    Terry Skrtel Schlupp (Vlaar 1st sub)
    Haz (C) Coutinho Sterling Sanchez
    Kun Kane Vardy

    ?

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

      If schlupp starts looks good!

  17. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Still got my DGW 34 squad:

    Krul (Myhill)
    Skrtel Terry Ivanovic
    Hazard (vc) Coutinho Henderson Silva
    Aguero (c) Kane Giroud

    ITB : 0.5m Subs: Schlupp PVA Boyd

    Use my FT on Silva -> Ozil/Ramsey or save and re-evaluate next week?

    1. TuttiFrutti
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      save

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

      Save

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

      Tough one. Silva has QPR (h) next week so I think you'll find it alot tougher to pull the trigger next week.

      I don't know Countinho's price, but I assume you can't do Coutinho > Ramsey next week?

      1. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Can't do a straight swap but if I save my tranny i could do it by also downgrading Ivanovic/Terry for Kosceilny.

        Sounds like saving my tranny is the way to go this week. Cheers.

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

          I agree. I like the sounds of Terry/Coutinho > Ramsey/Kosc next week.

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

    Have you decided on your captain Doosra?

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

      Aye - going safe with 'Azzzarrr

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

        Yeah he's defo the safest one. Had him all along but now thinking Aguero!!

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

    Bench one out of:

    Sterling
    Henderson
    Siggy
    Silva

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

      Henderson

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

        Cheers. It's what I am leaning towards.

        1. 11 Angry Men
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Why Hendo not sterling? Hendo has been playing much better over the last eight weeks, sterling has only one goal and that was against Newcastle...

          Just asking as I am deciding the same thing!

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

      Siggy/silva

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

      Henderson

  20. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    ive been always just playing my game without considering rivals. However, I closed the gap from over 100 to just 30 now with ML leader and Im the second.

    Do I need to play in a different way? What should I do?

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

      Just focus on your own game.

  21. Red Reddington ⚽
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Bench two:

    Bellerin
    Moreno
    Skrtel
    Schlupp
    Bertrand
    Kane
    Sterling

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin, Schlupp.

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

      Moreno and Bertrand

      1. 11 Angry Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        This

      2. Red Reddington ⚽
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

      3. Red Reddington ⚽
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Wouldn't it be a little stupid to bench Moreno but play Skrtel?

        1. Red Reddington ⚽
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Not stupid of course, just unwise! 🙂

      You may as well give us your username and password since you are not doing it your self

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

      Moreno and either schlupp or bertrand

  22. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    captain poll says hazard but is the general consensus here and in top 10K aguero?

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

      I think top 10k will be split fairly evenly between Hazard and Aguero. I think Hazard would have the armband more if he didn't blank in both games the last GW.

  23. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Panti or Heaton?

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

    Play Koscielny or Bertand?

  25. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Silva ---> Sanchez

    Yes or No ?

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I did

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Oh, yes!

    3. Lyonnais

  27. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Play Davis or Schmeichel?

    No other Southampton defenders. Leading MLs, most of rivals will be playing at least 1 Southampton defender.

  28. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    start silva or cambiasso?

    thanks
