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.

          I'm a West Ham fan, his only threat is Armero who we signed on loan in Jan - quality international from Napoli. Armero clearly better than McCartney, but Macca is in form and Allardyce prob wanting to keep some continuity. Armero may get a run out in the last game or two, or if Macca has a howler, but I wouldn't worry too much

      They better not. 2-0 Chelsea win with Hazard and Terry scoring.

    Would you play this team any differently?

    Mannone
    Coleman Cahill Ivan
    Sterling Yaya Hazard Silva
    Suarez Lukaku Sturridge

    Subs: Boruc Snodgrass Fonte Ward

    Should I take another -4 to replace some of the defence maybe get Zabs

    Cutting my losses and trading Aguero out for a hit.
    Is best replacement Rooney - or should I get Lukaku or someone else?
    (already have Suarez & Sturridge)

    I'm in a dilemma!

    This is my team:

    Mannone (Boruc)
    Chester - kosc - azpil
    Hazard - yaya - lallana - sterling (gnabry)
    Suarez - studge - adebayor

    Bank: 0

    I need lukaku.....

    Option 1: lallana and adebayor --> 7.2 and lukaku
    Option 2: yaya and adebayor --> silva and lukaku
    Option 3: other / keep as it is
