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.

        Would require a hit other way.

          And I also have Sanchez too

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

    Either of these worth a hit???

    Giroud to Rooney
    Albrighton to Mata

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      perhaps the latter, def not the first one

  3. Still Unsure
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Help please! I'm 1 point ahead in ML.

      Opponent has Coutinho / Albrighton / Benteke / Giroud
      I have Hazard / Cazorla / Vardy / Kane

      Worried about Hazard not starting, but more concerned about his strikeforce.

      Thinking maybe Hazard - Young, and then Kane - Lukaku/Tekkers/Giroud, but I can afford any striker...

      Thoughts?!

        do you have 2 FT?

        1. Still Unsure

            1...

      2. pemell
        • 11 Years

        Play Kane or Henderson and why?

      3. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes or No ?

        Exact Cash to do

        Giroud Ozil PVA --> Lukaku Bolasie Ivan (-4)

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

          No, wouldn't bother with Ivan. 4 yellows in last 6 and last time he would have repaid that hit was 15 gw's ago.

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

        A. Play Boyd

        Or

        B. Young (-4)

        ?

        Repost as lost...

        Does the order of the Arsenal squad announcement offer any clues to Wenger's starting XI? I know in the past it''s often (although not always) reflected reality. For info, it was as follows:

        Provisional squad: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Wilshere, Walcott, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud, Szczesny, Gabriel, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Rosicky, Flamini.

        This suggests Walcott comes in, Wilshere and Ramsey play central behind Ozil, and Cazorla will make way.

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

          I think that may well be the line-up with FA Cup next week, no chance of getting 2nd, and a chance to give Wilshere and Walcott a full game.

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

            It makes a lot of sense

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

        Defending a 21 point lead against someone with these match ups:
        [Schmeich Sanchez Sterling Henderson Kane] vs. [Given Silva Cazorla Boyd Benteke]

        So I'm thinking: Hazard + Sterling --> Silva + Mata and set up shop?

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

        Bottom of previous page

        Have 36 points lead in ML.

        I'm sure rival will captain Benteke whom I do not have.

        Play safe with Kun(c) or Ulloa as he doesn't have him ?

          • 13 Years

          It's 36 pts! Just play safe

        2. Nobodinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Kun(C) is more safe I think

        3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If I were in your shoes, I'd go Kun and consolidate. Highest % success probability.

          What moves did you make?

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Kane hazard out

            Ulloa Mata in

            He doesn't have either of them

        4. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd feel very confident with a 36 point and Kun (c) vs Benteke (c)

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

          It's possible, although Costa was never a very good penalty taker for Atletico.

        2. Gooner97

        Ulloa (C)

        over Benteke and Aguero 🙂

        Who's with me?!

            well...I'm a hundred points clear in my mini league....

            no risk here, just a roll of the dice to shoot up the rankings 😉

        Want to get Ivanovic in. Will be -4 though for 2 transfers.

        Schmeical
        Rose, alderwwld, bellerin, Dawson PVA

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Just made my final transfers of the season..

        Schmeichel,
        Terry, Schlupp, Kolarov
        Ramsey, Sanchez, Silva, Hendo
        Giroud, Aguero (c), Kane

        Skrtel, Cambiasso, Duff

        Ranking low 1300's..
        Close in a few ML's.
        Any chance of breaking into the Top 1k?

        1. Le Limpar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Tricky without any real diffs I'm afraid.

          Could captain Sanchez.

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think you have the wrong captain, Silva would be better.

          I would also play Cambiasso over Henderson.

      13. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Coutinho -> Young or Giroud -> Benteke/Lukaku?

      14. Old
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kane->Benteke worth -4?

        I have a 6 points lead, but his team are probably better defensively... (And he have Kane)..

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

          dodgy for a hit

        Guys, when asking for advice on the last day, you should specify what your goal is. Are you chasing, are you defending, are consolidating, are you trying to maximize OR rank. All these things matter at this stage. No answer is right in isolation.

        For some people, KUn (c) is a no brainer, for others it may make sense to sell him.

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

          I am chasing, defending and consolidating..
          How's that 🙂

          1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Then play the %'s and just aim for the highest score, nothing else matters 🙂

        2. Park the bus
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          There is no sense to selling him when you consider injury / rotation risks of other popular players!!!

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Currently playing Cambiasso ahead of Chadli. Feels a bit odd.

        Right call?

        Last decision of the season!

        B is my rival, the starred items are where I think he's going to make changes, he can't afford Lukaku unless he significantly downgrades Haz - I think he'll do Haz> Silva and/or Kane>Ulloa/Vardy.
