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.

      Looks like a midfield three of Fletcher, di Maria and Mata - glad I don't own DDG

    Burnley have spent £45million on transfers since 1882.

    Manchester United have spent £59.7million this week.

    Meaning United are shite

      I'm quite excited

        Young the only buzzkill. Give it a year, LVG is going to turn them back into the absolutely stunning team I love to hate.

        1. Chief
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Young and the defense*

  8. Chief

    9 years, 8 months ago

    I google 'Falcao transfer' after the foolishness on this page and all I see are Metro, Bleacher Report, and Caught Offside articles still linking him to Arsenal.

    Stop toying with my emotions. It will never happen, like my sophomore crush.

    Heaton; Trippier, Duff, Shackell (c), Mee; Arfield, Jones, Marney, Taylor; Ings, Jutkiewicz

      2 up front, quite attacking

    2. Chief

      Going to be really weird seeing Di Maria in all red...Madrid are going to miss him something terrible. Especially Cristiano.

    God I hope Mario scores a brace.
    Also made Dzeko captain, so hopefully that works out

    Awful defence, but starting to look quite exciting up top!!!

      Yeah!!

      Taylor, Ings and Jutkiewicz!

    CM for Di Maria or what?? 😯

    1. Chris_White

      Looks like it

    2. Ludo

    3. Kew Pee Arr

      Clueless. He'll be off injured and out for 3 months after 50 mins. Hope Burnley put done crunching tackles in.

  14. andyinasia

    Villa prepared to pay 8m for Cleverley; Xabi Alonso just cost less than that!

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's 34 though

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        32

      2. Kew Pee Arr
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        32 actually, and 1000 times better than Cleverley

    2. Crouch Potato!
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso will be on far higher wages methinks.

    3. wedgec
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm sure Alonso was jumping at the chance to go to Villa

    We are like that team on FIFA mucking about where you just cram all the attacking players into anywhere.

      It's hilarious. LVG is clueless.
