The Fantasy Flutter: Betting odds on the midweek Premier League action 3

BE DE-SAISS-IVE

Romain Saïss‘ recent goal-scoring form could continue when Wolves host Everton on Tuesday evening.

Over the last four matches, the Toffees rank inside the bottom four for headed goal attempts conceded, which bodes well for the Moroccan centre-back.

During that same period, he ranks top among defenders for shots in the box and producing two goals in the process.

The fact that he is 22/1 to open the scoring at Molineux, or 9/1 to net anytime, is attractive indeed.

Meanwhile, if Richarlison can win his fitness race, his odds of 7/1 to get the first goal appeal too.

The return of Lucas Digne and James Rodríguez to Everton’s line-up, and absence of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin could ensure more high-quality service to Richarlison’s left-flank. Wolves have conceded 23 chances down the right-hand side over the last six matches, compared to just eight through the middle.

RASH DECISIONS

Marcus Rashford could benefit from Burnley’s own problems defending wide areas in Blank Gameweek 18.

The Clarets have conceded the second-highest number of chances down the right-hand side over the last four matches, somewhere Rashford could do damage at Turf Moor.

If Paul Pogba is unable to start Tuesday’s short road trip, the England international should reclaim his left-sided attacking midfield role, from which he has six goals and four assists away from home this season.

In fact, Rashford has no Premier League blanks on the road in 2020/21, which is why his first-scorer odds of 4/1 on Tuesday look good.

THE BIG GUNS

Ilkay Gündogan has been creeping under the radar in recent weeks, recording three goals in his last four Premier League appearances.

The two most recent of those have come in a more advanced role for Manchester City, which has helped him even outperform his esteemed colleagues Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling over the last four matches.

Despite playing marginally fewer minutes than both of them, the German international has a higher total for shots in the box and big chances.

That’s why Gündogan’s odds of 10/1 to be the first scorer at the Etihad Stadium are worth considering.

He has both the underlying statistics and the form to back up his appeal in a favourable home fixture – Brighton have just two clean sheets on the road this season.

Elsewhere, Sheffield United’s meeting with Newcastle is 6/1 for a 0-0 and Alexandre Lacazette, who has four goals in his last three, is 10/3 to open the scoring for Arsenal against Crystal Palace.

    With Villa fixture postponed and DCL out I'm down to 6 players with already on -4.

    Pope
    Dias, Stones
    Fernandes, KDB, Son

    Probably worth a FH? 😀

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yes

    2. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Free Hit

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Unfortunately yes, FH

  2. AnyoneButLiverpool
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guys, I need help. This is my first season playing and I don't know what to do after all the latest news.

    Martinez Button

    Cancelo Dier Ayling Coufal Taylor

    Salah Bruno Son Grealish Soucek

    Kane DCL Watkins

    0.5m in the bank and 2 FTs.

    1. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would use Free Hit if you have it

      1. AnyoneButLiverpool
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm just annoyed that I'll lose my 2 FTs and my plans for GW19 would completely change

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like you are best FHing. Sorry mate

    3. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ayling to Stones and downgrade probably Salah to KDB or someone else, maybe DCL to free up the funds and even go for a -4 to have 9 players and save FH

      1. AnyoneButLiverpool
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I could sell Grealish and DCL, but who for?

  3. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best option on FH?

    A) Tierney & Ramsdale

    B) Holding & Lloris

    1. Colonial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oof. Tierney a far better choice than Holding but Ramsdale will do nothing so I think it has to be B

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So Kane or KDB captain?

    1. Pomp and Circumstance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

    2. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane

    4. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kdb

    5. sunzip14

      Kane

  5. OptimusBlack

    2. Don Kloppeone

      Solid

  6. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any last minute thoughts on this FH team?

    DDG (Darlow)
    Dias Cancelo Tierney (Clark Mitchell)
    KDB(c) Bruno(v) Son Saka (Burke)
    Kane Lacazette Wilson

    0 ITB

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      G2G

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Decent team

  7. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    is dias worth for more cash than stones if i can upgrade wilson to laca..?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes I’d say so

  8. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’ve toiled, I’ve tinkered, I’ve agonised. This is where I’ve landed. Am I G2G? On a FH

    Lloris
    Cancelo, Tierney, AWB
    KDB, Bruno, Son, Gundogan, Saka
    Kane, Laca
    (Steer) (Wilson, Yedlin, Mitchell)

    Benching Wilson is the big call but I don’t see him particularly lighting things up without decent service.

    GL all!

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why have Wilson at 6.5 on the bench. you should upgrade Gundog

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Gundo is my main punt this week. I can’t see what I could usefully upgrade him too without ripping up other parts of the team

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's fine, I'm not nuts about Gundo but I could be completely wrong.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He’s a real punt. I may still change my mind!

  9. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you remove for Stones?

    A. Mitchell (Although Mitchell plays this week, likely to be a 1 or 2 pointer at best)
    B. Konsa (Konsa could be handy with plenty of dgws down the line)

    7 playing this week if I remove Mitchell, 8 if I remove Konsa.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Konsa. You can get him back. I am in a similar situation. Moving Dallas out this week.

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That will be another transfer down the line though.
        Mitchell is only useful this week IF he starts and has a low ceiling this week

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          One thing I have learned playing this game, which is more true this year than ever - fix what is immediately in front of you.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Konsa

  10. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford over Son and captain Kane. That is the elite strategy for FHers this week. You’re welcome

  11. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I think a late free hit might be needed with this lot given the vila postponement and DCL out. Currently only have this lot playing.

    Dias AWB
    Bruno KDB Son Anguissa

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah looks required.

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Next blank only big team that will not have a blank will be United or Liverpool so FH18 is best time to FH right?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sort of don’t understand this logic, if no big teams are playing couldn’t that mean normal teams have 2-3 players making it just as valuable to play free hit ?

      1. aleksaa2
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly this.

    2. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends. I was thinking I'd want to WC before the DGW to include all the big boys, then FH in the Everton, Leeds, etc for just GW29. Otherwise you'll need to transfer in all of the rubbish players for 29 and be stuck with them?

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There are a lot of normal teams with good fpl players

    4. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well if you have 10 players this week, no it isn't.

  13. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What time is pep presser? Is it before the deadline?

    1. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1:30 PM

  14. boroie
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A - Tierney, Foden (with Brewster as first sub)
    B - Stones, Wilson (with Smith-Rowe as first sub)

    * Already have Cancelo

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B. More likely to play

      1. JabariParkersEyelid
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This is unfortunate as A is way more fun.

  15. screamer73
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need help. Pick one for FH team. Have KDB and Fernandes.

    A Rashford
    B Sterling

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  16. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pick 2 of these for a starting spot in free hit team

    A) Dias
    B) Shaw
    C) Saiss
    D) Gundogan
    E) Saka
    F) Neto

    1. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A & E (close with D)

    2. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A, E

    3. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      AE

    4. HNI
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A and D. But keep bench cheap of brewster mitchell 3.8. Can advice me below?

  17. Kudo Warrior
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    When will we know about the Needs vs Soton reschedule decision?

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Its on a needs to know basis

  18. HNI
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which of these you prefer on FH
    1) Leno+ Stones + Rashford + Wilson
    OR
    2) De Gea + Tierney + Gundongen/Foden + Lacazette
    Currently on 1 as trust Manutd more than Arsenal but Burnley has screwed Manutd before....

  19. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best pick from (budget 5.1) on FH:

    1. Saiss
    2. Shaw
    3. Lindelof
    4. Keane
    5. Fernandez

    Thanks

  20. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this 4-3-3 FH?

    Lloris (Norris)
    Cancelo Stones Tierney AWB (Yedlin)
    KDB (c) Fernandes Son (Smith-Rowe Burke)
    Kane (vc) Lacazette Wilson

    1. Zaruto
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very nice... no Rashford but nice

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah took Lacazette over him. Burnley's defence has been good so think Lacazette is better.

  21. Zaruto
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A Coach with a sleepless night...

    A) Tierney. - Saka - Wilson
    Or
    B) Shaw - Smith Rowe - Laca

    Thks

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A all day.

  22. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    People using the words "pro", "elite", "legend" etc. related to FPL is just very cringy and awkward...

    1. Kudo Warrior
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      example? Not seen it myself.

    2. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why? You jealous wee man?

  23. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    can I get thoughts on this FH team?

    Darlow
    Holding, Stones, Shaw
    Bruno (v), Son, KDB, Gundogan
    Lacazette, Kane (c), Wilson

    subs.: Button; ESR, Keane, Mitchell

    I could do Keane --> less expensive DF and then Wilson --> Martial; should I do that, and are there any players from the other teams I should consider? (1.6 ITB)

    1. Zaruto
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Darlow could be benched

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Your defence is weak imo, on a free hit I'd much rather have Tierney than Holding, Cancelo than Stones. If I were to downgrade Keane that's why I'd be doing it, not to get Martial.

  24. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A. Darlow + AWB
    B. DDG + Dier

  25. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Are Aurier and Shaw good options?

  26. boroie
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which do you prefer?

    A:

    DDG
    Cancelo Dier *Stones*
    KDB Bruno Son Saka
    Kane Lacazette *Wilson*

    Norris; *ESR* *Fernandez* Mitchell

    B:

    DDG
    Cancelo Dier *Tierney*
    KDB Bruno Son Saka *Foden*
    Kane Lacazette

    Norris; *Brewster* *Ampadu* Mitchell

  27. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Gundo worth trying over any of those 7?
    KDB Bruno Son Saka
    Kane Laca Wilson

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No.

  28. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which is better ?
    A- Leno - AWB - Dier
    B- DDG - Tierney - Clark

    1. willos_wanderers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I prefer B for Tierney's potential

  29. Pommie22
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Guys just a quickie....for -4 I have
    Cancelo,Stones, Anguissa, KDB, Son,
    Fernandes,Kane
    Is this enough for gw18?
    Also gives me 13 dbl plus Son,Kane for gw19.
    Many thanks and best regards

  30. willos_wanderers

    A: Leno - with Kilman on the bench
    B: Areola - with Kiaran Clark on the bench
