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.

  5. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking of WC'ing over the international break (so basically - gonna do it once the games start today).

    Currently my team is:

    De Gea / Gilks
    NTaylor / Clyne / Coloccini / Wisdom / Chester
    Siggy / Silva / Fab / Mata / Eriksen
    Rooney / Costa / Zamora

    With 1.4m ITB.

    Would you WC at this point?

    Had a bunch of changes I was gonna make personally. Was gonna remove DDG/Gilks for Krul/Mannone. Replace Colo with Dummett. Replace Chester with someone. Upgrade Eriksen to Ramsey, probably do Costa -> Aguero and do something about Zamora (probably Vaz Te, Naismith if affordable).

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years

      Yeah do it, keep JC though

  11. FPL Daniel

    I am worried about United as a competitor. They bought too much. Now Blind too.. Hmmm... Anyone has a clue what kind of formation they play today? How Mata RVP Roonpig and ADM fitted ?

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Dr. Rog

      they have done a sp*rs.

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

      Mata doesn't fit in any formation with wingers and two strikers in his favoured position, except a very narrow 5-2-1-2 which is weak with their current squad

    4. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…

      Shut up Steve.

    6. RabMac
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I reckon he is playing the same formation as he still has Young and Valencia in the team.

    7. andyinasia
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think Van Gaal's 3-4-1-2 system is a mistake - the English lads at the back haven't got the intelligence to use the space and time required effectively. However i think it will take a few more games for Van Gaal to reevaluate and switch to a 443/433. At that point Mata and/or Rooney will find himself out of position and unhappy.

    8. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Every team competing for the leagur has a quality squad and not just players. We're weak defensively and Blind can play LB,CB and DM. Nothing worrying. Especially if we're sellinh more players

            I am optimistic as he has not been playing badly and was just unlucky last week. Add to that the terrible Liverpool defence, home fixture and Liverpool injuries, it means it could be a good one for us.

  14. MARVELLUS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Had a very vivid dream about football, so brace yourselves for all this to happen:

    Man U win 2-0, Evans and Mata score (Mata gets sent off....before he scores)
    Man C win 1-0, Jovetic flicks it in after Milner (!) Hits the bar. Dzeko does not play.
    Chelsea 0-0 up to 65 mins, Drogba starts.

    Not good for a Dzeko and Costa owner!

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years

      How does Mata score 'after' being sent off!?

    Woke up at 7 thinking deadline had passed, then 9 then 10 and thought i would sleep for another hour and wake up at 11 to sort everything out. However next time i woke up, the deadline had passed. Captain Fabregas it is then, hopefully Rooney, Jovetic, Siggurdson don't get any more than an assist.

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I take it you're not taking advice from me anymore? 😛

        Chester shat on my plans last week 🙁

      Gone DDG but I'm a Utd fan 🙂

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

        Keeping that rotation?

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

          Absolutely.

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

            Downgrading Mignolet to a 4.5 m have DDG Krul

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

              Do you need another one though? Pretty sure those 2 rotate Sat/Sun a fair bit.

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

                It's worth the extra 0.5 I reckon, especially if one of your other 2 get injured/blank GWs

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

                  Yeah it's a tough one alright. I don't think the extra .5 is needed as much as it is in FPL either.

              Guzan is brilliant. Gets lots of recovery points too.

        he needs the ghosts of rio & vidic standing in front of him...

  24. Podge

    United fan needing a Rooney fail, not a great position to be in 🙁

    1. Mindless Freak
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same most of mini league has captained him.

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

      Same here. Hope Robin's feeling up for it, no-one's got him 🙂

  25. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    Burnley to rough Di Maria up a bit?

  26. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 8 months ago

    On a scale of beckham to Tevez, how ugly is ADM in your opinion?

    I would put him somewhere near the top, right between riveri's face and lescotts hair.

      Just a Spanish Luke Chadwickkkkk

    2. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Forget that England armband, Wayne - you've got an FPL captain job to do. Come on!

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oops. Reply fail. Moving on...

    Redrum

    If I post what points I hope my 3 Man Utd players get, I will get harshed by Breadbin.
    So I'm keeping schtum.

  29. KingZamalek

    Captained Rivière, other 2 strikers are Roo and Kun, already regretting it.

      BOLD!
