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.

    Pretty sure I'm going to do Haz -> Silva, but have another free transfer so maybe:

    Kane -> Benteke or Hendo -> Mata

    Current team:

    Myhill
    Kosc, Stones, Terry
    Haz, Hendo, Sanchez, Caz
    Kane, Vardy, Aguero
    (Guzan, Phillips, Skrtel, Williams)

    Any ideas? Cheers

    1. Dabooka
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Benteke.

      But I've be wrong on subs all season so ignore me!

  4. Gooner97

    Should I play Sterling ahead of Grealish, Skrtel or Schlupp?

      I think it's very, very unlikely that he will start.

      Rumours that he wont be in the squad at all today.

          Sorry but I think it will be 0-0. But if you think he can score, go for it 🙂

        Unfortunately my opponent has had 3 players in recent weeks that I haven't...

        Silva
        Grealish

    If I go, I will go out swinging.

    Kun, Hazard and Kane sold for Lukaku (c), Benteke and Yaya.

    Good luck fellas.

  11. The Count of Monte Cristo

    Hi guys! Trying to defend a 21 point lead and 27 point lead over 2nd and 3rd place respectively and tempted to do, provided Hazard is out, Hazard + Sterling --> Silva + Mata and set up shop?
    The " --- " indicates that we have the same player...

    My team:
    Schmeichel
    Terry | Bellerin | Morgan (Alderweireld Duff)
    Hazard | Sanchez | Sterling | Albrighton (Henderson)
    Aguero | Kane | Giroud
    + 2FT and 0.0m

    2nd: (-21 pts)
    Given
    --- | --- | Clyne | Azpilicueta ( --- )
    --- | Silva | Cazorla (Gomez Boyd)
    --- | Benteke | ---

    3rd place: (-27 pts)
    Krul
    --- | --- | Clichy ( --- | Boyd)
    --- | Silva | Coutinho | Cambiasso (Boyd)
    --- | --- | ---

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

      Yes, those transfers are ideal

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks - who would you captain?

  12. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    It has come down to this.
    Which of these groups will score the most and is it clear?

    1. Kolarov/Silva/Hendo
    2. Azpil/Milner/Hazard

    1. Torres76
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1 all day long

    2. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Skrtel and Cambiasso 1st 2 subs if Hazard doesnt make it..

  13. Torres76
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If I have

    Sanchez, Ramsey, Cazorla

    And my rival (4 points ahead but made 4 transfers this week) has

    Sanchez, Ramsey, Walcott

    Would you do Caz to Walcott?. Worried about him scoring high today.

    Thanks 🙂

  14. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    so what's the consensus here.

    Is Haz starting or not.

    am still seeing RMY's with Haz in the team...

    1. Barry Woj
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody knows!

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        yes but, this board is smart enough to 'Hazard' a guess..

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As I mentioned yesterday, every little press snippet seemed to make it more likely. But the press snippets have stopped - so my educated guess is that he'll miss out.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I see. thanks for pasqualinho.

        may just take the hit then for yes,

        Bolasie..

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          anyone else??

  15. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Hazard to Mata
    B) Ameobi to Young (play Hazard and let young come in if Haz doesn't play)
    C) Hazard to Yaya (have Aguero and Silva)

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've just gone with A.

    3. HellasLEAF
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like Haz to Yaya here. Call it a hunch, and seams like a more certain, seamless move, rather than hoping for stats and subs.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But not too much with 3 attacking city?

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers! Mata on pens and likely to play?

    5. gazragit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haz to Yaya...City at home Yaya on form good city cover...

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        this.

        Think city are safer bet to get some goals. Don't be fooled.

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, just that 3 city attackers a bit risky?

          1. HellasLEAF
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            it is. but the other are risky as well

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Cheers!

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

    Ok so I'm 27 points behind my ML leader...I've made two transfers already (-4) do I get rid off sterling to Mata for another 4 point hit. Don't think he will play, for fear of being booed.

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      if he doesn't play yes. If he plays no.

      who is your sub?

      1. gazragit
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Sub is Mcarthy!

  17. Baa
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Final question, thanks for all the help this season everyone! 😀

    A) Yaya + Benteke
    B) Silva + Lukaku
    C) Silva + Benteke

    Thank you!

    1. StellaMan
      • 10 Years

      C for me

    B. Pva
    C. Mcshane

    1. Gooner97

  20. Dabooka
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Quick help

    Ospina (Krul)

    Ivan, Shawcross, Jags (Young, Yun)
    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. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard -> Bolasie or some other cheapo

      Giroud or Kane -> (C)osta

  21. danielson
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Last decision, Hazard to Mata or Hazard to Ramsey to cover 2nd and 3d in ML?

    1. Dabooka
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mata as I NEED them to crush Hull!

    2. MMN
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you know they'll keep Ramsey, then it's got to be him.

  22. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    bench Fer or Albrighton?

  23. MMN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Defending a 14 point lead, rival has Benteke.

    A) Milner & Benteke

    B) Silva & Kane + 4 points

  24. Wishdom Teeth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle conceded at least 2 goals bar one occasion in last six games. so who is the probable west ham goalscorer?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Enner Valencia. 😎

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cresswell

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They can't defend corners or free kicks so anyone who can head the ball.

    4. iron2010
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      We are highly unlikely to score pal but Kayoute has strangely been our most likely recently.

  25. whitters_2014
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys can anyone help me?

    My team is

    Krul
    Huth kos TERRY
    SANCHEZ SILVA ozil Hendo
    Lukaku vardy Defoe

    Larsson rose Bruce

    I'm 18 behind my rival, I'm looking at, mata Walcott, benteke all as differs

    1 ft 2.5 itb. (Caps = same as rival)

    If anyone could please lend some advice I would be very thankful 🙂

  26. ElliotJHP
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to replace Hazard for?

    Rest of midfield is Ramsey, Silva, Cambiasso and Cleverley

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mata or Yaya

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I just brought in Mata.

  27. thecule
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Giroud > Aguero worth the punt? Trailing the league leader by 14 points.

    1. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yerra why not

  28. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can we check to see what transfers our rivals have made?
    Pretty sure we can't right?
    Seems like some here know which transfers others have made- Is that just through word of mouth?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Word of mouth and analysis in fluctuations of team value. 😆

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No we can't but money itb is good indicator what rival might have done.

    3. Jönny
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All you can do is, if you know what they had in the bank before their transfers, make an educated guess. I'm reasonably sure, for example, that my rival has got Yaya in for Hazard, as he's got 0.2 more itb which matches up to what he'd have got with that trade.

  29. PGR
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gru to Rooney worth a hit?
    How about Albrighton to Mata?

  30. Farcelona
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need a mid, 10.5m or less. I have Sanchez, Henderson, Silva and Cazorla. Who to get?

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

      Mata. Having another penalty taker can't hurt
