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.

      Saw schlupp play at tottenham last week. V impressive going forward. Thinking of him for my wc team.

    Does anyone think Punch / Gayle is nailed?

    I am looking at Bolassie, Zaha, Gayle, Sanogo, Amoebi, Cham, Jedi etc.

    omg looks like some rotation risks for few spots here

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

      Palace now have 6 strikers in the squad so I assume they will all rotate, probably worth avoiding because of this

      1. tokara

    Walters or Elia?

    1. Gooner97
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Walters, he's on penalties at least.

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

        **might be on penalties

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Moses

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

    Is anyone going (C) Sanchez, with a very carefully chosen (VC) of course, in the outside chance he starts and 'does a Costa' (ie overcomes hammy doubts and scores), or is it best just to avoid the Arsenal man altogether?

    1. Andy1
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm avoiding
      Leaving him in my starting 11 though

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I'm going Sanchez c with giroud vc

    4. ralfb

  11. Qubit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Really tempted to take a -4 for Mane and Walcott in for Fabs and Chadli.....

  12. Bapilot747
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Moses or Walcott?

    1. Qubit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wally

  13. najk
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Downing or Moses?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Moses

    2. OnionBag
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      moses

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

        Why so sure? Just the fixtures?

        1. OnionBag
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          not sure. mainly fixtures

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

            Think he's fully fit from his injury? He has just played one league game and a shitty cup match. Can you rely on that?

            1. OnionBag
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I think two games back is ok, but I'd rather have Johnson over either Downing or Moses anyway.

              1. najk
                • 10 Years

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

    Sure this has been discussed a lot, but I'm confused RE: Sanchez. Some people seem to have him in their team (he was my nailed on captain till today) but it looks like he's injured?
    any inside info I'm missing?

    1. Qubit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      We dont know, suspicions are high of a rest though.

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

      Most have in their team on the off chance he starts but know that their first sub in can cover the risk

    3. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Likely he will miss out but putting him in my team and letting the auto sub kick in if he misses out

    4. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He'll either start or not feature at all in all likelihood, so play him and let autosubs deal with it if he doesn't play.

  15. DIegoCosta19
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Costa to Rooney(C) (-4) good transfer.?

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      or should I get Giroud.?

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

      Giroud would be my advice.

      I like it, apart from Downing. ALso, why did you go Ivan over Terry - just curious.

    Who would you rather play lads?

    Walters home to qpr or Puncheon home to everton.

    Leaning towards Punch atm, cuase of recent form and attacking formation with Pardew...

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie

      Both

    2. Revival

      But it's QPR at home, Walters I reckon
