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.

    Anyone saying Di Maria played for Real Madrid as a CM is talking rubbish .. He played as LCM in a 4-3-3 with Alonso and Modric

    in 3-5-2 , the CM is a box to box and have to play a lot defensively , He has never played this role in his life

    even with Argentina He had Biglia and Mascherano playing with him

    1. The Finnisher
      • 12 Years

      "Anyone saying Di Maria played for Real Madrid as a CM is talking rubbish .. He played as LCM"

      OK

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

        He did play lcm not cm

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

          Or LM is it is in the uk

        2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          yes but he is making it out to be a huge difference when it is a minor thing. just means he has one less midfielder alongside. when the spare CB from the back three steps out this will be negated anyway

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      CM vs LCM

      ok then

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

        De Jong played as a CM for Netherlands in the 3-5-2

        Di Maria played as a LCM in the 4-3-3

        Same thing isn't it??

        1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I am not saying it is the same thing. I am saying you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

          Biglia was RCM but he was defensive whereas ADM was LCM and got forward the letters are arbitrary in that sense. The tactics and roles he gets told to occupy on the pitch will dictate his success/failure

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

            got carried away 😆

      He'll not play that role once everyone's back. This is only temporary.

    I'm sure asked a million times since confirmation of our FPL teams, but whose capped someone other than Rooney?

    I personally went with Ramsey....

    The percentages would suggest both (in my opinion) will accumulate roughly same points....

    So many random guesses at the United formation

    😆

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

      Definite 3-5-2 though.

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      And that's only the players

  14. palace ash
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    The future is anything but bright for United.

    U18's are trailing 3-0 to Liverpool at half time.

  15. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Apparently Ferguson is on United's bench.

  16. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This is the week that being a dullard (captaining Rooney) can cost you some massive rank jump.

    Not many captaining Jovetic, he could easily get two goals or more against Stoke.

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rank: 57
      Captain: Jovetic

      😎

      Tbh, I'm more scared about the inverse occuring, but oh well!

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Having Jo is plenty diff enough. Play the percentages with the (C)

  17. Setting the Toney
    • 12 Years

    I sense a Di Maria wagon on the horizon!

    1. 50shades of o'shea

      Deserves it. He is pure class

    2. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Dunno about that but he will change the dynamic of the team.

  18. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    If United keep that defence they have no hope of even bettering 7th this season, just my opinion of course, shaw and rojo are not exactly massive step ups from what they have.

    If they had signed a world class central defender, hummels etc it would have made such a difference

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

      That's if Rojo even plays

      There is a possibility he will not get a work permit

  19. Syd.

    Comparing the Netherlands' 3-5-2 and United's 3-5-2 will tell u who plays in which position

    De Jong = Fletcher
    Wijnaldum = Di Maria
    Sneijder = Mata
    Robben = Rooney
    RVP = RVP

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good post

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Robben and Rooney is the biggest problem.

      With De Jong and Fletcher second.

      And the Dutch weren't impressive going forward anyway. (The Spain game was about Robben, not formation)

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

      Think de jong > Fletcher but
      Di maria > Wijnaldum

    1. Kew Pee Arr
      • 10 Years

      I'd be raising a glass. 3 charles defs at Everton historically is a big mistake. 1-1

    2. Syd.
