Your chance to be the boss in Ladbrokes’ 5-A-side bet

-

Here is your chance to be the boss by getting involved in Ladbrokes’ exciting 5-A-side bet, which combines the best of Fantasy Football with a range of markets.

All you need to do is build your own team of players, select the stat to go with them and build your odds accordingl­y.

Here is my attempt to be the best 5-a-side boss in tomorrow’s FA Cup match between Leicester and Manchester United and we will go with the balanced formation (1-1-2-1).

The first position we need to fill is the Keeper and it is clearly possible that Leicester will breach the Manchester United defence at least once, so we’ll select United’s stopper Dean Henderson to concede at least once.

Next is the Cruncher and, given the probabilit­y of squad rotation, Nemanja Matic could well come into the United team and he can make at least one tackle in the match.

Into the midfield and the Baller position is next. Leicester defender Jonny Evans will see plenty of the ball and should be capable of making 55 passes. The Sniper position is next and Jamie Vardy is starting to hit form after a short injury lay-off, and he should be included to have three shots at goal.

The final position is the Finisher and this game could well feature plenty of goals. Marcus Rashford is our choice to find the net at least once.

So, there’s my team and the total odds work out at 9/1.

Selected matches only and you must be over 18 to play. Full terms and conditions apply. Good luck.
