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.

    Best choice for this week gang?

    1. Bolasie
    2. Yaya

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      2, if you don't already own Silva + Aguero.

      1. Torres76
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Got silva and Aguero.

        1. Darth_Newdar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 26 days ago

          Then I would probably say Bolasie, but to be honest it's pretty much pot luck in the final GW of the season.

        2. Torres76
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 26 days ago

          Is it crazy to go with all three of Yaya, Ageuro and Silva.

          Looked at kolorov but I think Southampton will score...

          1. Darth_Newdar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 26 days ago

            No, not crazy, but I prefer not to have three attackers from the same team. I could bring in Yaya, but am going to bring in Mata this week (I think).

      2. Chris_White
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Why not? City are the most likely team to score goals

    2. MiguelAngel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Yaya

  2. Torres76
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    Best combo please gang.

    1. Kolorov + bolasie + Walcott

    2. Vlaar + Yaya + Walcott

    3. Vlaar + Yaya + bolasie

    Cheerss

    Hey, what do you think the chance of these lot playing is?

    Hazard
    Ozil
    Sanchez
    Bellerin
    Benteke

    Thinking of doing Haz to Mata or Silva but considering a double move including Ozil out too?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years

      Ulloa for me.

      Cisse is a semi-fit, bog standard striker in a crap team. 😉

    Help is needed please

    I'm trying to defend a 15pt gap over 3rd place in my main work ML (1st and 2nd gets the money)

    My team:
    Schmeichel - Krul
    Ivanovic- Terry - Cresswell - Alderweireld - Ward
    Cazorla - Sanchez - Ozil - Albrighton - Cambiasso
    Kane - Agúero - Wickham

    3rd Place Team
    Pantilimon - Hamer
    Ivanovic - Hutton - Bellerin - Wilson - Schlupp
    Hendo - Coutinho - Hazard - Sanchez - Gomez
    Defoe - Aguero - Giroud

    Can I afford to take to do Cazorla > Yaya and Ozil > Mata for - 4 or should I just do Cazorla > Silva to consolidate my lead and who should I captain to consolidate the lead as well

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. MiguelAngel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Take the hit.
      Captain Aguero

  8. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    Take a hit to ditch Navas with no cash in bank (Siggy Probably) or play Cambiasso (QPR)?

    Cheers

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Cambiasso

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Play Cambiasso.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      I'd play Cambiasso. 🙂

    4. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Cheers folks. That confirms my thinking. I fancy Leicester to score a few today in a "victory lap" performance against relegate QPR. Hopefully Cambiasso can be part of that.

    5. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Don't bring in Siggy. Wales Online are predicting he's missing from the line-up today.

  9. MiguelAngel
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    Morning All. Good luck today everyone.

    Ospina
    Terry Skrtel PVA
    Mata Sanchez Ramsey Silva
    Aguero Benteke Vardy

    Myhill, Bertrand, Albrighton, Wol

    A) Good to go
    B) Start Berty/Wol over PVA

  10. Jacs911
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    I'm chasing my mini league by 12 points, is it worth doing sanchez>walcott (-4)? He has sanchez

    Currently

    Schmiechel (degea)
    Huth/Ivan/Bellerin (Zaba/PVA)
    Bolasie/Mata/Gerrard/Sanchez(Boyd)
    Aguero/Lukaku(C)/Vardy

  11. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 26 days ago

    Protecting a 30 point lead in my ML. Currently 4.7k but would like to get higher... Do I?

    A. Ozil/Sanchez -> Mata/Walcott (all my rivals have Sanchez) (or both for a -4 hit?)

    B. Giroud -> Lukaku (none of my rivals have Giroud or Lukaku, but will he play..?)

    C. Do A/B for a -4 hit?

    Cheers

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Ozil -> Walcott will do.

      1. Darth_Newdar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        I personally wouldn't spend -4 for that. Bit of a lottery as to who will play for Arsenal.

        1. Chris_White
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 26 days ago

          It's not for a hit?

          1. Darth_Newdar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 26 days ago

            Oh, sorry. I think Ozil --> Mata is a better move.

      2. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        I hear you. Walcott will play and is fighting for a spot in the final too, if he impresses.

        Tempted by Sanchez -> Mata too, but that holds more risk.

    Hendo, Cambiasso, Sanchez, Hazard (Jordi, inj)
    Benteke, Giroud, Kane

    2FT 1.3 itb

    Thinking Haz - Kane > Silva - Austin. No logic as to why, given up all hope! 4th in mini league 1st has gone but can get second with a little luck.

    Any thoughts welcome!

    1. Dabooka
      • 12 Years

      Ospina even. Stupid bloody iPads, why do people use them?!

  14. Torres76

    Anyone thinking Walcott will start?

    I have Ramsey, Sanchez and Cazorla. Thinking of Wally for Caz?

    Cheers

    1. Cojiro

      Wouldn't do that move are as likely to not play imo

      1. Cojiro
        • 9 Years

        Insert 'as Both' after 'move'

    One will probably be rested but...

    A) Cazorla

    5. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      I'd probably bench Ozil.

      Question back at you. Made my earlier moves already but getting itchy finger for one last move. Think the others will have paid off overall.

      Giroud to Benteke for a minus four or leave well enough alone...?

    6. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Thanks all.

      @KB I'd probably hold tight. Giroud is surely 'due' and will get chances for sure. Benteke may be subbed early and Burnley's defence is actually quite solid. The smart play would be sticking with Giroud IMO.

      1. Desertbug
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

        Thanks,
        My chasers gifted me in that they've taken minus four as well.
        I'll just put it in the bank, probably. I've got a 50 point lead and even if Benteke blows up, they won't haul me in...

    ok lads, winning my tipping comp that will pocket me $100, im 6 pts clear and obviously need a massive swing against me, trying to tip safely and this is what ive come up with

    Arsenal to beat brom
    villa to beat burnley
    chelsea to beat sunderland
    palace and swans draw
    everton spurs draw
    man u to beat hull
    leicester to beat qpr
    city to beat southampton
    newcastle to beat west ham
    stoke pool draw

    thoughts?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Not sure abt Arsenal, Villa, Everton, Leicester results

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Wouldn't surprise me if the Newcastle game was a draw and if Stoke win. Agree with the rest.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years

      I'd have West Ham to beat Newcastle, rest looks good to me. 😀

        Well he hasn't been ruled out fully so it's the chance of him playing I'm weighing up. Getting Silva whatever, can swap him or Henderson out...

    1. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      Depends if you're chasing or happy to play safe. Haz out allows pretty much anybody in so you could gamble and get Mata/ADM in if you wanted to go for it.

      1. Cojiro
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 26 days ago

    Done Haz to Silva already...front eight of Sanchez, caz, Silva, Hendo, boyd, Kane, Tekkers and Kun.

    A Boyd to Punch (bench Kane)
    B Kane to Ulloa (bench boyd)

    PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!

    Any suggestions are highly highly appreciated !!!!!!!! Thanks in advance!
    What to do ?
    Lead by 12 points in my ML
    My Team:
    Hart
    Terry, Skrtel, Alderweireld
    Hazard, Alexis(vc), Silva, Cazorla
    Aguero(c), Kane, Giroud
    Sub: Hammer, Albrighton, PVA, Baird

    Rival Team:
    Ospina
    Terry, Morgan, Azpilicueta
    Alexis, Cazorla, Siggurdson, Chadli
    Kane, Pelle, Aguero
    Sub: Myhill, PVA, Ellia, Bruce

    I have 2 FT, rival 1 FT. I was thinking to make transfers: Hazard, Giroud and Baird out for Siggurdson , Ivanovic and Benteke ?
    Is that enough to win my ML ?

    1. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 26 days ago

      No need for a hit with a 12 pt lead or to bring in Siggy to cover him.

      Hazard & Giroud to Mata and Tekkers should do nicely.

  28. Farcelona
