The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 5

20 September 2014 743 comments

Share:

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.

    RMWCT:

    Heaton, Gilks

    Baines(c), PVA, Chambers, (Wisdom, Moore)

    Di Maria, Siggy, Chadli, Ramsey, (Downing)

    Pelle, Costa, Aguero

    I've had a bad start so I've tried to go slightly different to my rivals. Surely Fabregas can't maintain his assist mate so I went for Di Maria. Is that sensible? Is Baines captain a step too far, I seem to remember some rule about it...

      I know they won't park a bus at Etihad like they did in Germany but both sides will probably be happy for something like 1-1 draw.

    Real Madrid president spent $108 million on James Rodriguez, had no idea how he played

    Real Madrid president Florentino Perez shoveled out $108 million to buy James Rodriguez from French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco over the summer, and here’s what he knew about James:

    1. He had a good World Cup.

    2. NOTHING ELSE.

    “I don’t know how James plays,” Perez told ESPNFC, defending his club’s off-season moves in the transfer market. “But he had a great World Cup and we wanted him here.”

      Perez doesn't do scouting..

      Clearly he was highly recommended by Madrid scouts and Carlo, so Perez forked out that sum for him

    Hm. To play real life football at 9.30, or stay in bed and continue tinkering on fantasy football.

    Tough Saturday morning decisions..

    Is Terry to Rose for free a good idea or utter madness? Will play whichever one I have.

      not utter just fear he may drop in price because of spazzes. Great fix's coming so he had an unfortunate OG wasn't even that bad--woulda been scored anyhow. Rose is only good 1 wk. IMO GL
