Scout Betting

The Fantasy Flutter – Gameweek 3

We go up against Paddy with a tenner in hand once again and seek inspiration from the Scout Picks and Differentials in our attempt to bring home the cash.

We start at Loftus Road where QPR welcome Sunderland later this afternoon. Scout Pick Steven Caulker has already registered six attempts inside the box in just two appearances, and with Paddy prepared to offer 20/1 on a Caulker goal and QPR clean sheet, we’re willing to place our faith in his attacking instincts and shell out £3 for the Loftus Road encounter.

Next stop is the Etihad, where champions City take on Stoke. Having scored twice from the bench in recent matches, we’re going to stick our necks out and back Sergio Aguero to deliver yet again. The Argentine is pushing for a start against the Potters, and with Paddy offering 6/1 on Aguero to score two or more and City to chalk up a clean sheet, we’re making this our bet of the Gameweek, throwing £4 their way.

Our final £3 is kept for West Ham’s home match against Southampton. Summer signing Mauro Zarate grabbed a goal on his first start last weekend, and with Kevin Nolan injured, looks to have nailed down the role in “the hole” for Sam Allardyce’s side. Paddy are offering a massive 50/1 for the little Argentine to score two or more and for the hosts to keep a clean sheet – we fancy a punt on this one and part company with our final £3.

Register and Bet £10 And Get £20 Free

If you’re new to Paddy Power, you can take up any of these odds and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up on this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

    Man Utd sign Daley Blind.. Surely bad news for Luke Shaw.

      blind is a DM

      1. GoonerByron

        He played LWB for Holland at the World Cup?

      2. The Machine

        Was lwb at WC no?

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          • 10 Years

          he played 2 games at dm I believe...lwb out of necessity...plays dm for ajax

      3. Make United Great Again

        Yeah reckon he'll play DM too

      4. timski8000
        • 13 Years

        And Henry was a left winger before he came to Arsenal - only English players can't adapt from a 4-4-2.

    2. The Machine

      Clearly lVg doesn't rate him. 30m fail

        did moyes sign him?

        1. The Machine
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No. And neither did LVG

          1. The Machine
            • 10 Years

        He's unfit, LVG gave his blessing

          How can a 19 year old Pro footballer be unfit.. The mind boggles 😀

    3. Ady87

      Formation noobs. Like Rojo you all think he is a full back or wing back because of a couple of World Cup games.

      It's now just that 'defence' needs sorting.

      1. Tommytour
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        And probably the most important part

        1. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It's a shame because beyond the defence United look like a solid team on paper but it appears there's no real desire for investment there.

      the best weekly read. where is it?

  11. Dr. Rog

    Hazard Sanchez and Aguero are the new holy trinity

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      this

    2. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'll be bringing in Aguero for Rooney over the next few weeks. The fact he is 6th top forward with half an hour of playing time shows his quality.

      Hazard and Sanchez I'm less fussed about at the moment.

    3. XhakaCan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Long term, yes

    4. chendog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez? 6 points from 2 gameweeks...

      1. Arse Craic
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He's finding his feet now I guess.

        1. chendog
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          We'll let him find them before he's in the holy trinity. Especially at 10.4

  13. KickIt

    Sanchez or Ramsey?

    1. Sting

      both

        This

  14. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    LVG should look to do something like this:
    .
    De Gea
    Smalling Jones Evans Evra
    Nani Anderson Cleverley Young
    Rooney Welbeck

    This team beat arsenal 8-2 a few years back.

      Clyne

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Down to 3...

    A) Chambers & Costa -> Dummett & Aguero(c) [4 points]

    B) Tadic & Costa -> De Jong & Aguero(c) [4 points]

    C) Tadic & Costa -> Sanchez(c) & Jovetic [4 points]

    2. blip
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I really don't think you need to get shot of Tadic/Chambers enough to warrant a hit, and Costa May end up playing. I'd hold and carry over the FT.

    3. HearMeRoar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I've shipped Costa out, though latest reports suggest he is travelling with the team and stands a chance of playing. May be an idea to keep him.

      If you are getting rid, I'd do A. I fancy Tadic to hit some form now.

        I always go with the attacking playing in situations like this.

      2. wedgec

    • Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      feeling a little unsure of agueros game time this week. thinking he will get less than 60mins. I've got him in on a wildcard. but considering moving him out. other suggested goal sharks for this game week (likely to move to Sturbridge next week)

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years

        who are the sure shots?

      2. Grimmaldi - Send in the Clo…
        • 13 Years

        30 minutes and 2 goals... If you've brought him in on a WC leave him - you'll only be scrambling to get him in soon anyway.

      3. wedgec
        • 11 Years
