The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek 30

Yet again, we place our faith in the hands of a trio of Scout Picks as we look to get one over Paddy Power. Two of the top three midfielders in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game get our backing as does Everton’s fit-again forward as relegation candidates Cardiff roll up to Goodison:

First up, we head to the KC Stadium, where Man City are set for a testing clash against Steve Bruce’s Hull. With Sergio Aguero ruled out through injury once again, Manuel Pellegrini will be relying on Yaya Toure to maintain the form that has already seen him score 13 times in the league this season. The visitors need a win to keep their title bid on track and with Paddy offering 5/1 on the Ivorian to score and City to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to chuck £3 of this week’s tenner their way.

On to Goodison Park next, where Everton entertain struggling Cardiff City. This time around, Paddy are prepared to offer 6/1 on Romelu Lukaku to score two or more and the Toffees to register a clean sheet. The big Belgian has already notched twice in as many matches since returning from injury and Everton have conceded just once in the last three in front of their own fans. Cardiff may have won 3-1 against Fulham last weekend but let’s not kid ourselves – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side still look like they need a miracle to survive. This one’s our banker of the week, then, with Paddy taking £4 of our kitty.

Our final £3 goes on Southampton’s home game against Norwich. Paddy are offering 6/1 on Adam Lallana to score and Mauricio Pochettino’s side to keep out the travel-sick Canaries. The Saints skipper has scored five of his seven league goals in front of his own fans and considering Chris Hughton’s side have netted just three times in their last six road trips, we’re more than happy to back this outcome.

      I am on WC with almost similar team and almost similar plans. I think its good to go.

      Personally, I preferred to keep Ivanovic, instead of wasting a transfer. I preferred Kolarov to Kompany inspite of having the money. Some other differences in fringe players.

          I like your thoughts on keeping low budget 5th mid to beef up your defence. In that case, I can get a team like:

          Adrian / Mannone
          Baines, Coleman, Ivanovic, Kolarov, Chester
          Yaya, Hazard, Lallana, Nolan, 4.4mid
          Sturridge, Suarez, Lukaku.

          That gives me some food for thought... Hmm... Shall I keep Sterling and Shaw, or Coleman and 4.4m --- anyway, lets see...

          Good luck for your team.

            Thanks. That`s a sick team Bankst. Almost jealous 🙂 I`ll just get Coleman(2DGWs on 31 and 34 + Meyler/Colback. If you can afford Huddlestone/Livermore instead of a 4.4 by doing Ivan--->Cahill would be fantastic. I might have to copy that...Cheers

              Yeah, that would have been great, but I got Ivanovic early at 6.0m, so SP is only 6.3m - I will gain only 0.1m by selling him. So, there's no point.

              For the 4.4 mid, I am thinking to go for Johnson / Assaidi / Colback / Meyler - Stoke has some nice fixtures later, and Assaidi can score points.

                Not very sure on Bardsley, but he has 13 games into the last 9GW`s. And I am benching him for the DGW31. Williamson at 4.2 is an interesting replacement as well... Still working on it. Any replacement suggestions for around that price Bankst??? Thanks

    Which 7 to play out of this front 8 and why?

    Lallana - NOR
    Johnson - CRY
    Hazard - avl
    Mirallas - CAR
    Mata - LIV

    Lukaku (c) - CAR
    Lambert - NOR
    Suarez - mun

    Leaning towards spreading my players and Mirallas on the bench.

    Have Coleman Flan and Azpi in def if that makes a difference.

      Mirallas, AJ and Lallana have better fixtures, Haz is explosive and Mata is expensive.. tough choice. I'd bench AJ. Crystal Pulis should be solid enough

    Just got Suarez in again after i ditched him for sturridge/aguero on january WC.

    Would it be blasphemy to do Bony (C) now?

    I feel like he will explode though, with the return of michu and facing the super awfull WBA
