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.

            Just subtract your 8 points from your total and look and see where that player is ranked

    Skrtel / wasilewski or hendo first sub?

    • 11 Years

    Which team scores the most points this week?

    A
    Davis
    Terry, Skrtel, Morgan
    Sanchez, Cazorla, Silva, Albrighton
    Aguero, Costa, Vardy (C)
    (Panti) (Hendo, Duff, PvA)

    B
    Ospina
    Azpil, Hutton, Trippier
    Mahrez, Sanchez, Cazorla, Haz*
    Benteke, Aguero (C), Kane*
    (Myhill) (Siggy, O'Shea, Clyne)

    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.

    Thanks

    Had to log off last night to stop me Setting up camp in left field. Said I'd sleep on it.
    Woke up this morning an pulled the trigger on left field.

  15. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I have no clue whatsoever to whom to award the armband! My three considerations, among 5/6 options, are as follows:
    A) Lukaku
    B) Sanchez/Cazorla
    C) Aguero
    I have taken NO hit, and I desire to make the top 5 k from about 6.8 k. Anybody got an idea?
    😀

    1. Woeisme
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero won't help you, so cross him off

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm going Benteke.

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A) Lukuka (aguero cap here)

    4. whitters_2014
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Surely aguero? I can't as I'm chasing

    5. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go Aguero...he seems the safest option.

    6. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years

      I've got with Rom-rom, Doos

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Interesting. 🙂

    7. whitters_2014
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Oh just saw your aim for top 5k sorry... Romelu then

    8. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't do B. If you want that sort of jump, go A and pray.

    9. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      In your case, Lukaku

    10. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You think Arsenal will score? I would go for Luka

    11. Sean.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A Lukaku punt to achieve a jump like that i would have thought

    12. QPR expects... glory!
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku or Sanchez only ones likely to jump you up the ranks

    13. Holy See
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Bout 15 pts off is it? Most ahead of you will captain Kun I guess, and many others will have one or both of B. I'm afraid that leaves you with Luka. Any other options? 😛

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Benteke, Hazard , Coutinho and Ivanovic?

    14. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      So. There is a feeling for Lukaku ... And a whisper for Sanchez

    15. Ruth_NZ
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I have been debating this all week except with Hazard as an additional option.

      With Hazard being uncertain I think it comes down to Aguero vs Lukaku and I am now firmly decided on Lukaku.

      The thing that swung it for me was Aguero's scoring record against Southampton. Only one goal in 3 seasons, by far the worst record he has against any PL opponents other than the recent arrivals. In addition I believe Bony may start today and that usually hurts Aguero too.

      City do create more than Everton but Everton are up against a worse defense, Spurs away have been awful in recent weeks. Southampton have regressed but nowhere near that much.

      Aguero is in good form but having done my research I am now quite settled with my call.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

    Already secured 270 € and if everything goes as planned today I'll get 450€ more.

    Wouldn't mind having more cash before flying to copenhagen and barcelona for holiday.

    Ivanovic-Skrtel-Vlaar

    Want to transfer Defoe. Which player for 7.5m? And captain?

    1. Give us a smile
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ulloa/Vardy - I'd probably play safe and captain Aguero in your position.

  21. Fuddled FC
    • 13 Years

    I'm leading my mini league by 9 points. Do I take a hit for Haz to Silva?

    Also have Caz and awful bench

  22. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    30 points behind ML leader - possible to catch with the following differentials?

    Me: Kolarov, Terry, Kosc, Heaton, Sterling, Santi, Young, Hazard
    Him: Clyne, Ivan, Bellerin, Migs, Puncheon, Sanchez, Gerrard, Kane

    1. hillbillypete
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      think u need a captain gamble.

    2. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, it's possible. I don't see Kun in there which means you both pla to captain him. Maybe you should take a captaincy risk there, too.

      P.S. I am 30 points behind as well so I sold Kun 😀

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2. Woeisme
        • 13 Years

        Can't fault that. You are either going for it or you're not

    3. Woeisme
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Any things possible, you need a perfect storm though

    4. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah this is assuming we both captain Aguero, but agreed that's a bit stupid from me.

      It's time. Kolarov (C).

  23. Takamba
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Does the order of the Arsenak 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...

  24. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Start Fonte (mci) or PvA (che)? Both 0 chance of a clean sheet, and I'd say equal chance of attacking returns. Thoughts?

  25. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard, will he play?

    1. Gooner97

  26. RamaJama

          You can trust his advice. The guy knows about United.

  28. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    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 ?

    1. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Punish him with Aguero.

  29. PGR
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Either of these worth a hit??

    Giroud to Rooney
    Albrighton to Mata
