The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 23

With tenner in hand, we go up against Paddy once again this morning. This time round, we turn to Sunderland’s new frontman, Liverpool’s young midfielder and Arsenal’s lone forward to boost our prospects of ending the weekend in profit.

We kick off at the Stadium of Light, where Jermain Defoe is set for his Premier League home debut for Sunderland against Burnley. With Gus Poyet determined to go on the attack and take advantage of some kind fixtures in front of the Wearside faithful, Defoe’s output looks key to the Black Cats’ survival. Paddy are offering 25/1 on Defoe to score two or more and Sunderland to serve up a clean sheet later today – we’ve a feeling he’ll make the difference against the Clarets and hand over our first £3.

Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their midweek Capital One Cup exit as West Ham make their way to Anfield later today. With the Hammers nursing a number of injury worries, we’re backing the home side to do the business here – Paddy are offering 11/2 on Raheem Sterling to score and the Reds to keep a clean sheet and we’re confident enough to shell out another £3 for the Merseyside match.

Our final stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal entertain out-of-sorts Villa. The Gunners have their tails up after defeating City on their travels last time around and with their visitors scoring once in the last seven Gameweeks, a win for Arsene Wenger’s side is highly anticipated. With Paddy offering 13/2 on Olivier Giroud to score two or more goals and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re making this one our bet of the week and part company with our final £4.

    6. Gooner97

      Cazorla

  5. Messiah Hazard

      Wolly or Punchy

    fabianksi gilks
    terry bertrand rose naylor dummett
    sanchez hazard cesc downing siggy
    rooney kane austin

    any suggestions what to do? could WC last min, just use a FT or take a hit.

    my problem is that I want sanchez and probably cesc in my WC so find it hard to justify taking them out, especially with my low team value. and there's no one that stands out to me as a siggy replacement

    any thoughts?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      sell gilks.

  8. Delhidynamo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    If LVG plays a 442 there's a chance that Jones won't play?

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      think he will. Alongside Rojo in central defence.

    2. Demí
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He should, considering Evans and Smalling are doubts.

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        If Smalling is back next week I think he might start ahead of Jones 😡

        1. Demí
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          But then we'd have nobody to take our corners

          1. Delhidynamo
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Hahaha ADM needs to bulk up like Ozil

            • 12 Years

            Haha, got any insight as to why that's a thing now?

    Pelle

    Cazorla?

    1. Home Run Baker

  11. Valar(Keith)
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    about 10 days ago Koeman said Alderweireld should be back in 2 weeks.. did he say anything at the press conference yesterday? want to get him in and bench him(double up with Fonte) .. can cover this week and next without problem

    1. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yes, believe he said yesterday (or the day before) that Alderweireld should be back for the QPR game.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        all i found is a picture of him picking up a ball saying "getting stronger" .. 😆

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Koeman hopes @VictorWanyama, @SchneiderlinMo4 and @AlderweireldTob will be available for #SaintsFC next weekend but not for Sunday.

  12. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Demí

    Transferring Costa IN and the back OUT in the same GW.

    Now that is depressing

  20. Moin

    Nice Goal!!!

  21. Johnny98

    WC team:

    Panti
    Bertrand Bellerin PVA
    Hazard Alexis ADM Cazorla**
    Pelle** Agüero Kane

    Hamer**, Boyd**, Terry, Baird

    Looking at possibly 4 changes:

    Hamer -> Foster
    Cazorla -> Adam Johnson
    Boyd -> Puncheon
    Pelle -> Giroud

    Giving me:

    Panti
    Bertrand Bellerin PVA
    Hazard Puncheon* ADM A Johnson*
    Giroud* Agüero Kane

    Foster*, Alexis, Terry, Baird

    Worth it?

    1. weaver93
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      IMO... No..

      Like your mids as it is...

      I'd do Pelle - Giroud

      1. Johnny98
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Unfortunately I already have 3 Arsenal players so can't!

    2. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Like all those moves, except losing Cazorla - he could have a big GW

      And if you own Terry you should play him.

      1. Johnny98
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Unfortunately most of these moves are funded by the downgrade of Caz. And who would you play JT ahead of?
