Paddy Power Special – 5/1 for City to Win or 14/1 for United to Win

With the first Manchester derby of the season set to take place later today, Paddy Power are rolling out a tempting offer for those yet to register an account. With City set to welcome United to the Etihad this afternoon, our bookmaker mates are offering odds of 5/1 for Manuel Pellegrini’s men to arrest their recent poor form and grab a win or a massive 14/1 on Louis van Gaal’s emerge victorious:

If you already have an account with Paddy, though, you can still take advantage of a Money Back Special. Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score & Scorecast singles on the match as a free bet if it ends in a draw.

To clarify, both the City and United enhanced odds special is limited to a £10 stake, open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified. New customers can only opt for one of the two offers.

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.

    It was only a 10 min cameo and he had fresh legs but I thought Theo stole the show when he came on. Everything started going down the right. I'm not selling my soul to get Sanchez just yet.

    1. Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It's what us non-Sanchez owners are clinging to.

    2. Lucy.

      He looked good though 'stole the show' seems a bit OTT. I think he's a while away from starting.

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Surely we expect him to start after the international break? Thats just 1 gameweek away then

        1. Zod
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Plus he should get more than 10 mins next week.

        2. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'd expect 2 or 3 30 mins, then maybe 3 60 mins before getting 90 mins.

      2. Ice
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He should have scored and got an assist in ten mins....he did steal the show....he was very unlucky

      3. Burd Turglars

        9 years, 5 months ago

        Know what you mean but I always remember Wenger's treatment of RVP. He could never resist playing him, even when he knew he wasn't 100% or needed a rest. I think he views Theo the same way, although admittedly Arsenal don't need Theo as much as they needed RVP then.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          He gave him 4 sub appearances last season...

        2. Tornado
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Does this mean walcott with be thrown straight in

          I always thought wenger was more careful with wally than others?

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Same planning to do Silva --> Walcott

      1. chocolove
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Do it then. You talked about it for weeks now

    4. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Was great to see him back. I think doubling up on Sànchez and Walcott will be a very profitable approach in the near future

    5. Ice
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Likewise, I think Wally is far better value. Is rather have Wally+Baines than Sanchez+Jagielka. Baines is scoring like a premium mid atm! Also people are ruining their team just to get Sanchez!!

    6. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If anyone stole the show it was Podolski. Could've had a 10 minute hat-trick

      1. Burd Turglars
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Could've, should've, always the same with him though? Always 'unlucky' isn't he.

    7. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He played well. Sanchez was brillaint, however. Avoid at your peril, and nothing to stop you getting Walcott as well when fit.

  2. Sarnab
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Don't know how to fit in Alexis and Aguero in this team. Somebody HELP

    Foster
    Chambers Bertrand Baines
    Hazard Tadic DiMaría Sterling
    Costa Welbeck Pellè

    Krul Taylor Marney Hutton

    0.0 in bank, 1 FT

    Willing to take hit

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling -> Downing would free up funds.

      1. Sarnab
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That is a likely transfer. What else?

        can't do welz to aguero with it 🙁

    2. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wellbeck or Pelle down to Sakho
      Tadic to Downing

      Sterling to Sanchez
      Welbz/Pelle to Aguero

      Not sure if that works out, but it is the only way that sorung to mind

    3. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Welbz to Sakho and Sterling to Sanchez?

      1. Sarnab
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Short of funds too. 🙁

        I'm fooked this week. HELP PLEASE

  3. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Looking forward to a Sanchez yellow flag after the champions league games.

    IT makes complete sense to buy him, but you know this is going to happen. Either that or he's going to have a quiet 2 pointer

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If we 'knew' that was going to happen, it wouldn't make 'complete' sense to get him in...

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I watched game back last night, for me he looks the most essential player in the game right now.
      I don't say this casually - sanchez was unplayable better than /Adm/Hazzard for me.

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, his involvement and goal threat was Suarez-like. And Suarez was not classified as a midfielder 😉

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Bought him last night Mark, you can't beat watching games to see how players/teams are doing, Sanchez was awesome for me the hunger and intent was there for all to see.
          now have Adm/Fab/Sanchez/Siggy so pleased with that mid going forward.

  4. FPL Touches
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I've got Welbeck, Siggy and Sterling

    2FTs, 1.3m ITB
    No Sanchez.

    Throw some suggestions at me 🙂

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Does Sahko/Downing/Sanchez work?

      1. FPL Touches
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, and leaves 1.3m in bank. 🙂 Question is whether I should double up on Hammers attack, good fixtures but could backfire..

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I would without a blink of an eye,
          did you see wham yesterday?
          Different team mate and downing looks like a new player, if I were Wc right now both would be in my team.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Welb and Sterling --> Sakho and Sanchez...if you have Sakho then can go for Austin good form

  5. HVT
    • 13 Years

    Anyone do worse than 25?

    1. Rasping Drive

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Hmm.

          1. HVT
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Well it is currently see below mate, just felt not enough people post when they score low tho I have a safety net still!

    2. vova

      Ouch

    3. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      My captain got more than that

    4. Sarnab
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That is too low. Ouch!

      How many to go?

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        14 on the bench Krul/Wisdom (phew haunted!)
        Aguero (c)
        Adm
        So hopefully I turn it around!

  6. Guy Demel's SH
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone considering Walcott over Sanchez?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yes, but only on cost. If I had the room for Sanchez now i'd get him in.
      Instead i;m hoping that the spotlight shifts to a different Arsenal player for a few gameweeks and then Wally to come back on inspirational form

    2. chocolove
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, wait for his start a game first 😐

  7. Bollard
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thought mr Walcott looked sharp yesterday. Have pulled him in as had FT to burn and a Sterling to eject 🙂

    1. Tornado
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So you think Walcott will be straight in to team?

  8. makkintosh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    The people who transferred Chambers in THIS gameweek, what was it based on? please share your wisdom 🙂
    i am hoping for a number of replies, not just a few, given that 27555 managers did it this week.

      He's cheap in a home fixture,
      We move on mate nothing to see here.

    3. TorresMagic™

      Needing money for Costa.

    4. Whazza

      Cheap Arsenal defender

  9. Optimus.
    • 13 Years

    Aguero looks primed for a YC today in the derby..A YC midweek vs Newcastle and he was lucky to avoid one vs West Ham..The red mist is decending

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think he'll score 2 plus 3 bonus. 3-2 win for City

    2. Henry Hill

      You are clutching at more straws than a masturbating scarecrow.

    3. vova

      Aguero brace and an assist. Confirmed by my sources.

      1. Jax

        Knee brace for when he gets injured?

  10. Michael Jordan - call me MJ
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Missed out on so many Baines/Aguero/Sanchez points these last weeks

    Very frustrating to see them punish me so brutally,

    Reason being is the likes of Sterling/Hazard have been chugging along just nicely enough for me to keep faith

    1. Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's been strange. Not wanted to change my team but in not doing so it's all gone tits up.

      1. Rats Ass
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think psychologically not changing your team can feel safer but it's often a bigger gamble than changing it. It's one of the ways our minds fool us when we play this game. Sticking is often not the safe bet.

    2. Jax
      • 14 Years

      Have they?

  11. TorresMagic™

      Would be a shame to see me go 🙁

        You should probably include guaranteed bench points....

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I should but it's good to wallow in self pity for a while 😉
          Still ATM my 39 doesn't look great around these parts TM - how you fare out?
          Catch Sanchez/Callum points?

  12. Henry Hill
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What do people think of the Hazard penalty, correct decision?

    1. Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Soft.

    2. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I actually thought so. Vargas put his shoulder straight through the middle of the '1' on his shirt

      1. Henry Hill
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I disagree, Hazard cut across Vargas and then threw himself to the floor. Vargas is entitled to maintain his running line according to the laws of the game

    3. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. Legs tangle.

    4. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    5. vova
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Correct decision but a bit soft.

    6. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me. Hazard jumped into Vargas, not the other way round. If anything, it was Hazard who committed the foul, IMO.

    I sold Chambers for Bertrand after his 5th yellow - YC magnet, Arsenal let in 2 at home vs Hull. My brother sold Clyne to bring in Chambers before his 5th yellow and I couldn't believe it.

    I'm sorry, but Chambers points yesterday are JUST NOT FAIR.

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I had the same thoughts with the yellows, the most I ever thought he would get was 5; and Naylor has been such a consistent points scorer for me this season that I didn't do the transfer.

      This is just another Eric Dier moment, unlikely to be repeated but congratulations to those lucky enough to have started him.

    Are there any fantasy football games based around weekly high scores rather than season scores?

  18. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Want to get Hazard back in asap.. Happy to do Sterling -> Hazard but need to shave 0.8 off this team somehow. Any ideas?

    Foster
    Chambers - Chester - Bertrand
    Sanchez - Sterling - Tadic - Siggy
    Aguero - Costa - Welbeck

    Krul - Wanyama - Naylor - Wilson

    2FT, 0.6 in the bank

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Welbz down to Sakho/Berahino
      Tadic/Siggy to Downing

    2. Slaps
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Siggy > Downing or Stirling > Eriksen?

  19. Slaps
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Chose Alcaraz over Chambers a last week, 25 points compared to my 3 points. This game can be rather unforgiving...

  20. Edmond
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So anybody out there planning to still keep the faith with Sterling? Didn't watch the game, was Pool really that bad?

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Without an in form Sturridge/Sterling partnership they look to be.

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        This. It's not just waiting for Sturridge to come back, it's waiting for them both to return to form. Easier to leave now and get back on board, than to wait it out and get stuck with the price falls
