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.

    3. Home Run Baker

      Kane

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

      for mine Kane...

      He has better supply to him than Defoe.. -IMO

    5. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Defo Defoe. For a few weeks. Kane back after the blank maybe.

    6. El Zurdo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Have same problem. I am going to stay with Kane only because of DGW.

    7. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Been struggling between Defoe, gayle and kane. Still don't know!

    8. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I am going Defoe for a punt for the next 4 games. Can easily switch back to Kane for the DGW if it doesn't work out.

    9. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      Quite likely

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, Cazorla's little purple patch is over.

      1. Fitzy.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        'Little purple patch'' Roy? Haven't checked for a while, but from memory it stretches back about 10 weeks and he has scored more points than just about every other player in that time (including Sanchez, Costa, Hazard etc)...

    3. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe.....

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cazorla

      1. Hurricane
        • 10 Years

        Thank You!

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

      Cazorla, then captain him ( or Giroud)

      1. Hurricane
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thank You!
        I have Giroud. Was set on captaining him until now.
        Who would you captain out of the 2?

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

          I'm going with Giroud. Own both.

          1. Hurricane
            • 10 Years

      Is Silva not playing?

      1. Hurricane
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He will but i don't trust him to produce the goods against Chelsea.
        What do you think?

        1. Esalman
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Agree but is it worth transferring him out with Hull (H), Stoke (A), Newcastle (H) coming up?

          1. Hurricane
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I still have my Jan wildcard left so could get him back next week.
            Should i hit the transfer button then?

            1. Esalman
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              If you also have Aguero then go ahead I suppose.

              1. Hurricane
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                No, i don't have Aguero. Was going to get him next week.

    Read somewhere before that when new managers take over the best results come in their 2nd and 4th games. Pulis in charge for the 4th time today so double up on WBA people.

    1. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      "Fact"

    2. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      My teams new manager got beat 5-0 in local derby this year in his 4th game

    3. Marty McFly
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Increase of 1.5pts per game for the first 4 matches and then it drops to an increase of 0.1pts per game for the next 30 matches. According to some university studies.

    4. Home Run Baker

      It's a law of nature 😉

    5. Weasel Boy

      I have faith in that fact and Pulis.

  15. Lawrø
    • 12 Years

    Is Walcott nailed on to start?

    I'm really struggling between Wally and Pelle for the armband!

  16. Overlordleo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Being sick sucks, I have spent more time on this website during the last 3 days than anyone should. I am starting to make decisions in my head by the A,B,C principle.

    "Should I go up and get a glass of water"
    A) Yes
    B) No
    C) Wait for more info from the press conference.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A

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

      C. Always make decisions based on maximum available information.

  17. uzbeque
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Puncheon/Hazard/Silva/Dimaria/Caz
    Rooney/Giroud/Gayle

    benching Silva is wise decision?

  18. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years

    Any United player worth getting in for -4 hit? Have none currently

    1. Lawrø
      • 12 Years

      No

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years

      I've got 3 😯

      Somebody kick me

    3. GaGa Over Gazzaniga!!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No.....but without a hit ADM agnst lei is a good choice imo.

  19. Hand Of God
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    On WC - what do u guys think please ?

    Pant Gilks
    Terry Koscielny Clyne Wisdom Baird
    Hazard Sanchez ADM Puncheon Moses
    Giroud Aguero Gayle

    Banks : 0.7

    Thanks

    1. Overlordleo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Similar to mine. I went with Cazorla and Pellé instead of Sanchez and a cheap third striker. Rest looks good.

      1. Hand Of God
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I had santi in but took him out to make defence better.
        What do u think of Moses Baird Wisdom ?

  20. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    2 questions:

    A) Santi or Hazard as (c)

    B) Costa -> a MUN striker worth a hit (WCing next week)

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard.
      Depends upon who will play if you don't

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Chambers or failing that, Wisdom

  21. Connor Wickham
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    a) Pelle + Giroud + Sterling

    b) Rooney + Wally + Kane?

  22. The Grey Man
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How could I be thinking this... putting Hazard on the bench.

    I am mid table in my league and need some differentials so with WC currently have

    panti, jakupovic
    jones, koscielny, baird, wollscheild, wazilewski
    di maria, johnson, walters, cazorla and hazard
    rooney, defoe, giroud

    Have i completely lost the plot?? I've got a spare 7.3 million in the bank

    Asylum home for me or other bright suggestions to make up 80 points in my league

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would not be benching Hazard. I'm thinking about giving him the armband!

      I'd bench Walters/AJ from that lot

  23. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    rp
    Ings to Giroud
    Fabs to Moses

    Worth a hit?

    Yes or no??

  24. Syd.
