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 only have 8 DGW'ers.

      Can't decide if I want to take a hit for a DGW defender. Got less than £4.7m to spend on one. I may just play Vlaar. Only real choices are Flanagan, McCartney or Dummett.

          Realistically, a lot of these games are pretty crap match ups that won't yield a lot of points. Other than Liverpool who are scoring for fun no one else looks like they are going to storm this DGW.

          A lot of DGW'ers have horrific fixtures after the double too and so people are going to either be stuck with duds or spending the points they earned in DGW getting back the good players they tossed aside.

          Not sure -8 hit will be worth it.

      Whether you WC early or late really depends on how badly you start the season. If I hadn't WC realatively early this year my team would be a complete mess now

        True but a few -8 early and you could fix most problems you have and then use the FT each week. The Jan WC is also a good chance to fix deadweight so I think unless your team is a total disaster and needs 10 changes I think saving it for later in the season will be my plan next season.

      Have him but I've no expectation of him this gameweek. Could've had an assist or 2 last week if Fletcher wasn't completely off form.

    A) Silva + Kos
    or
    B) Yaya + Bardsley

    ATM, I'm leaning towards A. Back Arsenal for cleenies this week, and think A could just outscore B.

    Plus, doing A, will allow me to bring in a Chelsea defender after this week for their nice run.
    Kos also a big differential in my ML. Should help me close in on No. 1 ( So is Silva)

    Having a tough time deciding , any help is much appreciated! 🙂

    Have Boruc/KDavis
    Davis for a hit to Adrian or Mannone?

    It makes sense to me, but every time I've thought that this season it has backfired

    Already asked but still can't decide.

    Mata > Silva? (would be second hit, so -8)
