The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek 31

We turn to the Scout Picks and Differntials for inspiration 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 and we also put our faith in a born-again Fantasy talent now plying his trade on Humberside:

Our first match of interest is the KC encounter between Hull and West Brom tomorrow afternoon. Paddy are offering massive 50/1 for Nikica Jelavic to score two or more and the Tigers to keep a clean sheet – decent odds, given that very scenario occurred as recently as Gameweek 27 away to Cardiff. The Croatian has notched three times in his last five, whilst Steve Bruce’s side have kept out their opponents twice over that period and we’re willing to part company with £3 for this one.

On to the Etihad next, where Man City entertain basement-dwellers Fulham. This time around, Paddy are prepared to offer 16/5 on Yaya Toure to score and the hosts to register a clean sheet. The Ivorian has scored in three of his last five home appearances, and with Manuel Pellegrini’s side racking up three consecutive clean sheets, we’re willing to make this our bet of the week and hand Paddy £4 of our kitty.

Our final £3 goes on Liverpool’s trip to Cardiff. Paddy are offering 13/2 on Steven Gerrard to score and the Merseysiders to keep out Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s strugglers. The Reds skipper has scored four times in his last three road trips alone, and with Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge wreaking havoc up top, there’s always the likelihood of another spot-kick falling his way. Liverpool have registered back-to-back shut-outs, whilst their hosts have failed to score in six of Solskjaer’s 10 games in charge.

      Mata may not play in the hole (if Moyes plays Welbeck up front)

      I'd do it

      Welbeck could replace RVP meaning Rooney could be in the hole.

      I'm also a never-owned-Yaya person (have very similar rank to you as well) but I'm getting him despite although not for a hit. I think if you don't get him, you could fall behind people ranked around you as I think Yaya should score at least once in these two games

    My current keepers are Boruc and Davis.

    Was thinking whether Boruc ➡ Mannone would be worth a hit considering the future DGWs and Boruc's nasty run in. I know Mannone's isn't great either but he has two more DGWs to come.

    So then, is Boruc to Mannone worth a -4?

        Yeh that was another alternative. Sunderland defender only really in there for the extra free gwk over even a Hull player.

        Variations on B was my first plan for this week, but im starting to think that A could actually do better with Nolan at home 3/4 and Carroll back and Coleman having 6 games in 4 gwks.

      If you're on a wc maybe chance Noone to Ki and Chambers to Chester. Looks good though.

    Dzeko the most transferred in player in the last 24 hours. Doubt it'll happen but would be hilarious if Negredo starts as the lone striker tomorrow 🙂

      Will not be a lone striker as the owl has stated that he only regaled from his preferred line up in the CL because of Barcelona being one of the best attacking teams in world football.

      Dzeko Negredo

      Think Dz will get a massive haul this DGW. If I had the cajones i'd dump Luka for him.

    Rate my low team value WC team

    Mannone (Gazzainga)
    Coleman Chester McCartney (Dummett, Baker)
    Gerrard Silva Nolan Hazard (Delph)
    Suarez(c) Sturridge Dzeko

    World's worst defence I know, can't see many other ways to keep the big hitters in team though 🙁

    Already done Kolarov & Azpi > Zabaleta & Distin for -4

    Do I do Mata > Silva for -8?

      I'd say with the hit in mind that I think it will work out even but I'd rather Silva for the upcoming doubles anyway.

    Hello all! Currently got 9 dgw players, is Boruc to Mannone/Adrian/McGregor worth -8?

      Might be worth a -4 (I've just done it for McG). Don't worry about if you've already taken a hit.

      Just do Boruc > Mannone next week.

      Thanks for the feedback all! Think I might sleep on it then decide in the morning. Mannone and Adrian seem good options.....it's whether it's worth the extra hit.

      I have 10 with -4.

      Don't lose Hazard if you will lose lots of cash.

      You could sell Lallana &/or Boruc = replaced by DGW'ers.

      I would keep haz and ivan

      Wouldn't you be tempted to captain Sturridge since he'll probably go for Suarez?
