The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 5

20 September 2014 743 comments

We target a trio of players who all found the net in the previous Gameweek in our attempt to get the better of Paddy this weekend.

Our first match is at St James’ Park as out-of-sorts Newcastle prepare for the visit of Hull City. The Magpies have now conceded three times in each of their last two league matches and their porous defence looks there for the taking – having scored on his debut, we’re backing Abel Hernandez to heap further misery on Alan Pardew later today. With Paddy offering 11/1 on the Uruguayan to score two or more goals and for the Tigers to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to throw £3 their way.

Next up we head to the King Power Stadium, as Louis van Gaal’s United attempt to maintain the momentum gained from last weekend’s win over QPR. The Red Devils have now served up a shut-out in each of their last two league fixtures, and with Paddy offering 11/2 on Angel di Maria to score and for the visitors to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to stick another £3 on this one.

Our final bet is kept for White Hart Lane, where Spurs are set to welcome struggling West Brom. Nacer Chadli’s strike at Sunderland took his tally to three goals in as many appearances, and with Paddy willing to offer 11/2 on the Belgian to score and Tottenham to pick up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the week and shelling out our final £4.

    Is it always unwise to drop a form player? On a Wild card and Ivanovic has some tough fixtures coming up.

          Both of these are possibilities. Just wondering if they odds are somewhat against Ivanovic who has 4 tough games in the next 7

              Thats not my reason for ditching though Willis. Its the fact that I'm on a WC and now I can do it for free. Its either now or never (or at least not for a while)
