In our penultimate head-to-head with Paddy, we’ve invested faith in Liverpool’s departing hero, Arsenal’s midfield orchestrator and Manchester City’s marauding left-back.

Liverpool play host to Crystal Palace on Saturday in what will be Steven Gerrard‘s final run-out at Anfield before his switch to the MLS. Gerrard netted in his previous two starts and will be desperate to the send the Kop into rapture. Ally this with the fact that the Eagles notched a solitary goal in their last four outings and Paddy’s 6/1 odds on Gerrard to score and Liverpool to keep a clean sheet against Palace has tempted us to part with our first £4.

Santi Cazorla – the target of our second wager of the week – attempted more shots (seven) than any other midfielder last Gameweek. Furthermore, no midfielder in the league has fashioned more shots inside the box (nine) than the deep-lying Spanish playmaker in the last three Gameweeks. Considering that the Gunners’ opponents on Sunday, Manchester United, drew blanks in three of their last four, Paddy’s 16/1 offer on Cazorla to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against United encouraged us to hand over another £3.

Our final bet in this round sees us backing Aleksandar Kolarov to continue his hot streak in front of goal (two in three). No defender can match the number of shots on target (five) the Serbian full-back has mustered in the last three Gameweeks, while Kolarov’s free-kick proficiency adds another string to his bow. The Sky Blues recorded shut-outs in three of their last four fixures, prompting us to take up Paddy’s 16/1 offer on Kolarov to score and Manchester City to keep a clean sheet against Swansea.

      reply fail

  4. Ruud van Basten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bench, Vardy or Haz?

    1. zon
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Haz

  5. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Benteke to a Sunderland Striker and have 6 DGW or to Giroud and have five?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm debating that very thing....

      1. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Which way you leaning?

    2. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Do you really want 3 SUN for Chelsea next week?

  6. Mesh
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Which is best?

    A. Silva to Ramsey/Cazorla
    B, Bertrand to Bellerin?

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

  7. S.Kuqi
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Chasing 36 points lead.

    Not sure if i should risk my 3rd spot (350€) in cash league and cap Gru or Caz and trying to win that 1100€.

    Altough I have pretty good differentials like Terry,Skrtel,Hendo,Silva and Caz.

    1. Skokym
      11 years, 5 months ago

      this is just two GW to go, this will be most probably a game of luck. What makes you think that people behind you wont go for differential on (C) as well? Meaning if you cpt Sanchez and he does not deliver you still can be overtaken by those behind you... I would go for differential - Gru/Caz flip a coin

    2. Debauchy
      11 years, 5 months ago

      How much for 2nd ? and how many points off 2nd ?

      1. Billy Gilmore
        11 years, 5 months ago

        And how far ahead of 4th?

      2. S.Kuqi
        11 years, 5 months ago

        36-37 points behind 1st (1100€) and 2nd (550€) and 4th (won't get paid) is only 10 points behind me.

        Just thinking if my differentials are good enough to cut down their lead for 20-30 points.

        1. Debauchy
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Tough .
          Would be happy with 3rd here , you'll have to be "looking over your shoulder" with only 10 pts over 4th.
          Likely he is aiming for 3rd too and with only 10 behind will be Cpt Sanchez.

          Would block

          1. S.Kuqi
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers mate. Playing conservatively and hope my differentials to the trick.

  8. Danstoke82
    11 years, 5 months ago

    repost:

    I can only get Panti if I downgrade a player. Would give me 5 DGWers.

    What about this?

    Ivan + Myhill > Terry + Panti (-4)

    Worth a go?

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      God no

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No

  9. Skokym
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry bottomed:
    Hello FFS,

    have 18 point lead in mz cash league, gut feeling tells me that rival brought Sanchey (C) with his 2 FT.

    My team:
    Pants
    Jags Skrtl Toby
    Rambo Ozil Haz Silva
    Gru Tekkers Kun

    is Ozil/Rambo + Tekkers -> Sanchez (c) + Vardy (-4) to block him a good move?
    I am tor apart, going to the double without Sanchez could cause me a big headache...

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No keep your gunners. It's a lottery anyway

      1. Skokym
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I hate lottery 😀

    2. S.Kuqi
      11 years, 5 months ago

      If you are sure that he has Sanchez I would make that block move.

  10. Ruud van Basten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Are Coutinho and Hendo likely to start today due to it being Creaseheads last game at home?

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool still have 10 other spots to fill

  11. ymx
    11 years, 5 months ago

    hazards vs sanchez vs silva!?!

    1. Ruud van Basten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez

        11 years, 5 months ago

        Lol

  13. Will - Fantasy Football Hub
    11 years, 5 months ago

    So if we presume Haz will be benched.. Who is benching him in ff?

    I could play Morgan over him.. Seems weird though

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Only you are presuming that

    2. Ruud van Basten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking of benching him for Vardy

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'm benching but have good backup, I'd be playing if I had Morgan as back to be fair. I think he will start anyway.

  14. Optimus.
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Sell Livermore for a hit?

    1. The Machine
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yup getting him turned out to be a fail

      1. Optimus.
        11 years, 5 months ago

        You've had some rotten luck of late,hopefully Walcott gets the start this gw foe you finally 😉

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Nah he will come on and score a couple against tired legs

        2. The Machine
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yup and hopefully i dont miss the deadline by an hour again 😉

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I'd sell him for two

      1. Optimus.
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ah a Sunderland fan..I've chosen Graham over yer 3 strikers,who would you have chosen? 🙂

        1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Nope saints!! Mathew Le Tiss

          1. Optimus.
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Lol nevermind,it's early 😆

  15. Sol
    11 years, 5 months ago

    First sub? A) Wasilewski B) Cork

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 5 months ago

      a

  16. Kuqi Monster
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Who to play instead of gomez, wolly, jwp or c.dawson? Only got 5.4m for replacement and no option really standing out...

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 5 months ago

      jwp - or bench and get someone in for wolly or daw

    2. Bastien
      11 years, 5 months ago

      larsson is the obvious option.
      but out of those... jwp.

  17. jimnastics
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I'm defending a 40pt lead in one league and set to win £300, but chasing a 50pt gap in another money league (guy is in world top 100...) which is another £300 winners pot (I will at least win £150 for 2nd). Would you just consolidate and defend that first league from here and be happy with 2nd in the other, nothing silly?

    1. Bastien
      11 years, 5 months ago

      aim to protect your current position.
      50 pts gap against a top 100 is impossible to cover at this stage. most prob you have very similar squads too

    2. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Grow a pair and go for it

    3. Debauchy
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Consolidate . If was a 30-40 pt gap would be tempted , 50 too much

  18. Bastien
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Pick 1 to start
    A) Wollscheid (bur)
    B) Alder (AVL)
    C) Moreno (CPL)

    Wolly - decent chance of CS, but prob he won't start. Biggest risk is cameo appearance.
    Alder - my current pick. I have Benteke as well so one of them should come good in the end.
    Moreno - the most exciting pick, but again I don't see him starting and not sure it worth risking a cameo.

    Thoughts?

    1. Danstoke82
      11 years, 5 months ago

      B for me

    2. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Haven't you answered your own question?

      1. Bastien
        11 years, 5 months ago

        with the input i have, probably i did. but just wanted to make sure i didn't miss anything.

  19. Essrick
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Mignolet

    Kosc Clyne Rose

      1. Essrick
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Of course!

        Think Schlupp should stay on the bench?

  20. Mr Stubborn
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Fab > Silva

    Logical transfer?

    Cheers

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

    Leading work fantasy - any changes? Help!

    Pantilimon
    Wasilewski terry bellerin

  22. Danstoke82
    11 years, 5 months ago

    need to downgrade to get Panti.

    Ivan + Myhill > Terry + Panti (-4)

    Worth a go?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure Pants will get you your 4points back so no save transfer or get PVA for Sunderland defender

  23. Big Bad Barry
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Drunken -8 has given me this!

    Panti
    Terry Bertrand Bellerin

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Any idea what the ratio of non Giroud owners to Giroud owners inthe top 10,000

    1. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Around 50-50 last week

      1. Gideons Rolling Another One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Ok cheers. As a non owner I am a little concerned he's gone under the radar and is going to do it this DGW

  26. sinik

    .........................Pantilimon
    ..................Terry - PvA - Skrtel
    Henderson - Ramsey - Silva - Sanchez (c)
    .............Giroud - Benteke - Aguero

    Schmeichel; Albrighton, Morgan, Smalling

    alright, let's do this. FT banked for next week, sleep time. good luck everyone!

  27. Jönny
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Think I'll save a transfer for a final game week flourish... Good to go?

    Mignolet
    Ivan Clyne Trippier
    Sanchez (c) Cazorla Coutinho Navas
    Aguero Giroud Kane
    (Myhill, Boyd, Schlupp, Dawson)

    2.2 itb, 1ft.

    1. Rhinos
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Can't help thinking it's worth a gamble on a sun player, I'd ditch tripper or navas

  28. @FPLStrategist
