We’re backing City’s veteran midfielder to deliver in this week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy. With a tenner in hand, we also place our faith in the Hammers’ top scorer at home to Leicester, whilst a move up front bring Liverpool’s young starlet back on the radar.

Our first stop is at the Etihad, then, as the champions prepare for the visit of Palace. Frank Lampard took his tally to four strikes in just 298 minutes with the winner in last week’s victory at Leicester and his eye for goal could be key as Manuel Pellegrini looks to roll out a striker-less system to deal with the injury crisis. With Paddy offering 10/3 on Lampard to score and City to keep a clean sheet against Palace, we’re more than willing to take a punt and part with £3 for this one.

Up next, we move to Upton Park as West Ham prepare for the visit of Leicester. Diafra Sakho has scored in four of his five home appearances in the league and, with five wins and a draw in the last six in front of their own fans, Big Sam’s side look likely victors here. Paddy are prepared to offer 12/1 on Sakho to score two or more and the Hammers to register a clean sheet and we’re making this our bet of the week, with a further £4 shelled out.

Finally, we switch to Anfield as Liverpool and Arsenal go head-to-head. Shifted into a central role up front in each of the last two matches, Raheem Sterling posed United plenty of problems in the final third before bagging a brace at Bournemouth on Wednesday evening. The youngster’s confidence will be on the up for this one and with odds of 11/1 on a Sterling goal and Liverpool clean sheet, our final £3 goes Paddy’s way.

    Which one would you captain?

    A) Costa

    B) Nasri

    C) Austin

    D) Eriksen

    E) Downing

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Austin and Downing are good shouts.

    2. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      I'm on A currently, but thinking to swap for Downing.

      1. adp1113
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Same. Though the thought of a 2-pointer from Costa is haunting. But guess will stick.

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Austin.

    4. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Eriksen if your felling saucy 😉

    5. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      from that list Downing or Austin. Costa will score 1 goal and get a red card playing against ShawX

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        2 Everton defenders worries me tho

    Morning Chumps.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Morning Evs. All set?

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Well, what I'm stuck with like.

        I brought in RVP for Lukaka.

        Rest is as was.

        I'm hoping for a good Spurs turn with Eriksen and Kane in my ranks.

        You ?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

          Captaining the dutchman?

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 6 days ago

            I think so, plan b would be Kane / Erisken. You ?

            1. Acquafresca
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 6 days ago

              Who needs Batman, Robin(c) 😉

        2. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

          Ahh nice. RVP (c) I assume?

          I'm Spurs-less this week so I'm hoping for one of their frequent home failures 😉

          Feeling a bit nervous going in with double City defence. Captaincy will make or break this GW for many.

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 6 days ago

            Could be genius that. Which 2 do you have ?

            (C) ?

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 6 days ago

              Zaba and Hart.

              *whispers*... Hazard...

              1. Evs
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 6 days ago

                No need to whisper...

          2. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 6 days ago

            Yep, RvP me !

        3. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 6 days ago

            Like when I sold RVP for him pre-Southampton 😡 !!!

    2. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      This guy, stealing Sporting's lines now 😉

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Ha. I was hoping he would be around.... 😀

        1. Acquafresca
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 days ago

          Haven't seen him. His response would be priceless.

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 6 days ago

            Shame init 🙂

    Anyone know exactly how many years FPL has been running for?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      2007/08 I think.

      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Even though my FPL history doesn't show it I'm pretty sure my first season was 2006/2007. I found a screen cap a few weeks back where I had Thierry Henry captain.

    4. The Handsome Hunk
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Mirallas.. He is more developed midfielder ...

  10. The Handsome Hunk
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    RMT

    Fabianski

    Azpi, Yun, Jags

    Sanchez, Hazard, Downing, Siggy

    captain HELP..!!!!!!

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      i got the same team (pretty much)
      on sanchez currently.
      but i don't have rooney though

    2. Zepadrino
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      If you are at the top of your league then go safe

      Costa

      If u r looking for a differential then it gets complicated:

      Haz, rooney and dow in that order from safest to puntiest

      1. The Handsome Hunk
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Currently on top..

        Costa seems to be less appealing..though..his YC changes my mind..

        🙁
        🙁

  11. dreadnought
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Sigurdsson -> Eriksen, Sigurdsson -> Silva or Sigurdsson -> someone else. Suggestions?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      A

  12. sufcben
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    alnwick
    wisdom - baines - bartley
    hazard (c) - siggy - yaya - sanchez
    costa - pelle - welbeck

    subs; foster, yun, o'shea, marrney

    1 free transfer, but who?

    good to go?

  13. Cesc in the city
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Whom to bench out of Yun, Dummett and Naylor?

    1. The Handsome Hunk
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      Dummet

  14. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    A siggy - baines
    B sterling - Clichy
    C miralles (when fit) - zab

    C looks decent!

  15. Footballbloodyhell
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    It is wise to bench hazard this week? considering his poor away form, but I'm afraid he will explode and get double digits haul against stoke.

    My current 1st 11 lineup.

    Fabianski

    Clichy, Baines, N.Taylor

    Sanchez, Eriksen, Downing, Milner

    Costa, Austin, Rooney

    1. The Handsome Hunk
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      10.6M MAN is not meant for benching...

      1. Footballbloodyhell
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Bench Milner instead?

  16. The Happy One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    Play Fer or Siggy this week? And captain Austin, Toure or Rooney?

    1. The Handsome Hunk
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 days ago

      sIGGY, rOONEY..

  17. jaredwilliams

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 days ago

    My team:
    Guzan
    Zaba-Terry-Bartley
    Hazard-Sanchez-Downing-Siggy
    Austin-Costa-Dzeko

    Elliot - Dummett, Boyd, Wisdom

    Dzeko to RVP or Bony?
    Is RVP conna keep his good form and good shot and goal conv. % (like Costa didnt..)
    If i thake Bony i can thing about city mid next week or something else..

    Who to C?
    Now have Sanchez but now at the last minute im thinking about Downing.

    Should i bench Siggy rather than Dummett?

    Thank you!
    Happy holidays!
