Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 38

In our final head-to-head with Paddy, we’ve invested faith in Arsenal’s English speedster, Everton’s robust frontman and Stoke’s man of the moment.

Our first, and favourite, wager of the week has us backing Theo Walcott to net his third goal this campaign. Arsene Wenger looks set to slightly rotate ahead of the Gunners’ FA Cup final, which should afford the fleet-footed winger his first start since Gameweek 29. Considering the North London club has conceded just one goal in their last three home ties, Paddy’s 11/4 odds on Walcott to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against West Brom tempted us to part with our first £4.

It’s been a lucklustre season for Romelu Lukaku, but the imposing Belgian has finally hit some form in recent weeks, notching two goals in three starts. No striker came close to mustering as many attempts on goal (nine) as Lukaku last Gameweek, which – coupled with the fact that Tottenham drew blanks in two of their previous three match-ups – encouraged us to take up Paddy’s 33/1 offer on Lukaku to score two or more goals and Everton to keep a clean sheet.

Charlie Adam – the target of our final bet this Sunday – has been a revelation of late, tallying four goals in seven starts. The Scottish midfielder ranks third over the last six Gameweeks in terms of attempted shots (35), behind Philippe Coutinho (30) and Alexis Sanchez (29). Considering Liverpool chalked up a solitary goal in their last three road matches, we’re liking Paddy’s 18/1 offer on Adam to score and Stoke to keep a clean sheet and handing over our remaining £3.

    Play Henderson or Cazorla? Rival in head to head has Cazorla but thinking this be the deciding factor. But I'm guessing it will be long 90 mins if Cazorla starts!!

    My team

    Sch

    Ivan, bellerin, Clyne

    Walters, silva, Sanchez, hen/Cazorla

    Vardy, Kane, Aguero (c)

    Sorry if this has already been mentioned but for those still thinking about Hazard the last line is probably relevant...

        Yep I realise that but with nothing new since it seems likely he won't play

      Interestingly though, they edited that line in the statement after publish...

      It says this now...

      "The surgery means Hazard will almost certainly miss Chelsea’s final game against Sunderland - the first Premier League game he will have missed this season."

      It appears it used to say...

      "The surgery means Hazard will not feature in Chelsea's final game against Sunderland -- the first Premier League game he will have missed this season.''

        Good spot! I thought i'd read it differently on another site yesterday. I really don't know what to do with him!

          I've kept him and start him but then I have a decent bench to cover.

          For me, it depends on that, what do you have off the bench if Hazard doesn't turn up.

          1. DeadStarComing

            • 13 Years

            True. It would be my favourite bench player this season, George Boyd! Up against a Villa side with Wembley in mind you never know. I may just keep.

    2. lions
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one! Can't you sell haz? If it's like me and its a hit it's tricky knowing what other midfielder will prosper. Can you really trust a bolasie or punch if it's a 4pt hit?

      1. lions

    Who would you ditch between Coutinho and Henderson? (I reckon Hendo has delivered points on a more consistent basis) and who would you get between Bolasie, Puncheon and Milner taking a -4?
    Cheers!

    3 points ahead in my ML, my rival has almost certainly done Hazard -> Silva. Should I cover it?

    ME: Mignolet, Kolarov, Kosc, Morgan, Ramsey (Davis, Cambiasso, PVA, Defoe)

    HIM: Schmeichel/Krul, Vlaar, Schlupp, Cazorla, Kane, Grealish (Skrtel, Cresswell)

  13. Federico
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Final decision of the season:

    A) Gomez -> Bolasie/Punch (bench Kane)
    B) Kane -> Lukaku
    C) Kane -> Benteke

    Chasing 18 points, and will captain if i bring in B or C.

      1. Hedgehog
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No already used -4 on haz to mata.
        He has benteke which is only worry. But surely I can't be caught now

        1. 50 Shades Oshea
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          i would say that looks good, maybe giroud and hendo out for boliase or benteke. my team is below, love some views

        2. 50 Shades Oshea

          ah seen you have replied thanks

  15. 50 Shades Oshea

    right lads, need some advice? got 1ft

    ospina

    vlaar, moreno, schlupp

    Sanchez, silva, Hazard, Hendo

    Kun, kane, Giroud

    krul, walters, berty, PvA

    thinking these

    A) walters for bolaise

    B) haz out for mata

    c) haz and kane out for mata and benteke -4

    D) haz and kane out for young and costa -4

    thanks

    1. Hedgehog
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haz -> Mata

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      hmm, i'd say c or d. I see Kane getting another 2 pointer, so getting in Benteke or Costa must be worth the hit.

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ye i think you are right, worried jose may troll us though with haz... was thinking costa, but my main rival has benteke so maybe safer going him?

  16. AIRMILES
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Young, Fer, Elmohammady or Colback?

    I'll be playing Hazard (we all know Jose's a troll), with Henderson coming off the bench if Haz doesn't play.

    Mignolet
    Ivanovic - Bellerin - Huth
    Sanchez - Albrighton - ????? - Hazard (Henderson)
    Costa (C) - Aguero - Lukaku

    THOUGHTS PLEASE

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 10 Years

      can you not stretch to boliase, but young of those lot. like the costa shout, nice front line... my team is above. thanks

    2. sonic72
      • 10 Years

      young seems like a nice fit, was you thinking of bringing in elmo? I have him as a token player, not expecting much from him, even though they need a win.

  17. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which trannie has the best dress?

    A. Ozil -> Mata (have Sanchez and Giroud)

    B. Giroud -> Lukaku (have the other two...)

    Basically, which one unlikely to start today?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      b

  18. NorwichCityLad
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard > Silva -4 a good move I just can't push confirm button without knowing

    1. sonic72
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did that move earlier, I think many have made that choice this week.

  19. BennyDizzle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris or Krul or transfer to any other keeper (no money problem) and -4pt

  20. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play Vlaar or Skrtel?

  21. Ed

    Young to start right?

  22. dberb9
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Myhill // Panti
    Terry Kosci Okore // Wasil PVA
    Sanchez Silva Cazorla Grealish // Hazard
    Aguero Vardy // Wickham

    1 FT

    A) Hazard -> some midf
    B) Wickham -> Ulloa or Cisse
    C) Haz + Wickham -> Lukaku + 8.1 midf for -4

  23. Boyd to Sven
    • 9 Years

    Quick question, sell or keep Hazard? Thanks all!

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      sell

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep. They're really depleted of option atm, so I think he might start. But i've got Henderson to come off the bench in case Haz is off.

  24. sonic72
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    40 point lead, already on -4 hit, (my rival on -4 hit)

    My midfield is not great, should I take another hit?

    A) Sterling > mata -4
    B) Walters > Bolasie/Puncheon -4
    C) Don't take another hit

    Current midfield: Sterling, Elmo, Sanchez, Silva
