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.

      That's only 10.5 a week. Not a lot really.

          I think I've gotten a few of those off the bench tbh 😉

              Just checked, I have only got 12 points off the bench. Thought it was more, but just at opportune times to get a Hutton CS and a Wisdom assist

      thanks for the positives lads.
      Still smarting at having Sanchez to start and taking him out about 3/4 weeks back 🙁

    6. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I feel your pain on captain fails,

      Last three weeks have been Falcao (vs west brom 1pt) aguero (vs West Ham 2pt) and Costa (vs QPR 2pt)

      Anyone beat that?

    Anyone have the link to the site that gives you averages for overall, top 10k, etc?

    I always forget to bookmark it 🙁

        Ta muchly

  3. makkintosh

    Downing, a long-term option?

    Hello everyone, given both form and attacking football southampton and westham are playing at the moment, would you go for downing instead of Tadic? who would you consider more consistant?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yep I think he is.

      Downing
      Moses
      Diame

      All are valid long term options imo & offer ridiculously good value

  4. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Arsenal: Sanchez
    Chelsea: Costa + Fab/Hazard
    Everton: Baines
    Man City: Aguero
    Man United: ADM
    Southampton: Pelle/Tadic

    Anyone have all of these?

    1. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      5 of them : Sanchez + Costa + Fab + Baines + Kun

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No baines no haz no tadic but I have the other 6

    3. Wings Fan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      For me:

      Welbeck
      Fab + Hazard
      Baines
      Aguero
      ADM
      Pelle + Forster + Clyne, working quite well

      Welbeck's head is on the chopping block at the moment.

    4. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      All, but not Costa... Probably will do Pelle to Costa this or next week...

    5. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez, Fab, Aguero, ADM, Pelle and Costa (next GW)

    6. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Don't have costa haz and Tadic. Aye to others

  5. Ludo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Begovic/Gilks > Foster/Myhill
    Clyne/Bertrand > Baines/Alderweireld
    N Taylor/Moore > S Taylor/Dummett
    Fabregas/Sigurdsson > Hazard/Downing
    Berahino/Marney > Austin/Boyd

    What do you reckon, worth playing my WC? Would give me this team:

    Foster (Myhill)
    Chambers - Alderweireld - Baines (S Taylor - Yun)
    Sanchez - Di Maria - Hazard - Downing (Boyd)
    Aguero - Costa - Austin

    1. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      * Yun over Dummett

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would prefer Fab over Hazard, but that's just me. Krul will have better fixtures than Foster for a few weeks, but after that Foster sounds good. Not sure on Austin...might do well, but Berahino and Sakho are the other alternatives, as you know... But indeed looks good ATM.

      1. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Could keep Fabregas and have Sigurdsson over Downing, or maybe Guzan/Krul over Myhill - I think those three teams are the best defensively of the cheap keepers. Sakho would be great, but funds are tight.

        Basically though, it seems like a lot of sideways moves which also fix my bench then allow me to do Clyne > Baines - not sure whether he's worth essentially WC-ing for.

  6. trinzoo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How will Arsenal play with Wally, Welbz and Sanchez available ? Who was playing forward after Welbz subbed off yesterday ?

    Any reason to keep Ramsey ??

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Theo & Alexis will both be first choices.
      Ozil/Cazora/Ox will rotate for the other Att mid slot, in that order of preference.
      Giroud & Wellbz will rotate up top.
      Wilshere/Ramsey/Flamini/Arteta will rotate in midfield.
      Theo will break all sorts of points scoring records, he is going to smash it when he gets back.

      1. ralfb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        ozil might have had his last game for arsenal anyway, as apparently bayern might be interested to get him in january transfer window, and he will be injured until then

      2. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        When Ozil is fit he will play every game.

        1. trinzoo
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Thank you all, I'm afraid I have to get rid of Rambo!

  7. Mr Smith

    Peeps, Dier likely to start for Spurs today?

    1. Durr
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Id guess so and also hope so for the points befoe i sell this week

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Team news says no but 50/50 perhaps. At fault for the 7 second goal so might get the boot.

      1. Mr Smith
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Amazing fall from grace from the beginning of the season.

          You or me? Hard to tell with you.

          1. Mr Smith
            • 13 Years

            😆 no, we were talking about dier!

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Siggy, Sterling, Welbeck
    to Downing, Sanchez, Sakho or Berahino for -4?

    1. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. But you might wanna have Siggy back after few gameweeks...despite of Swansea's problems he's gonna be good value this season, I think...

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      yes

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      Why aren't chelsea keeping clean sheets? They'll shirley still finish the year with 15-20 cleanies, so maybe they'll keep them all for post-Christmas...

      1. FootballFanatic365

        as azpili back so a 5.5 def on bench...not happenin imo

  10. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    too narrow a team split....?

    Swansea 2
    Arsenal 3
    Southampton 3
    Chelsea 2
    Everton 2
    City 2
    George Boyd 1

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A lot of eggz in two baskets there... but it could work very well too...
      Nothing wrong with having 2x from any of those teams imo, George Boyd apart.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        just means utd and spuds games are traumatic!!!

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          3x Southampton from GW1-10 would have worked really well, not sure it'll work as well from GW11-20... but you wouldn't want any less than 2x Southampton either in fairness.

          3x Arsenal - probably will do good... especially as Wellbeck & Chambers are so cheap, adding Alexis or Theo won't necessarily wreck the balance of your team's budget.

          1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            aye.
            Sot is under review, but Chambers, Sanchez and Welbz looks a keeper...

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    How awesome would a Kun 10+ pointer be today.
    Very awesome - that's how 🙂

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. FootballFanatic365
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      sure but a united win will be better

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, they're not mutually exclusive. I can see 6 or 7 goals today, no exaggeration, both teams dodgy at the bck & lethal up front on their days.

    3. Rats Ass
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think it's more likely to be a cagey game, like the Utd - Chelsea game. Goal each for Rooney and Dzeko maybe.

  12. Rassi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Essentials, smessentials...

    Never had Sterling, Fab, Ramsey, Baines or Sanchez, all of whom have been called "essential" here at some point. Still I am steadily making progress: top 2k now. This week 71 pts with Kun and ADM to play.

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Also no So'ton defence nor Pelle...

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Hard to tell without a link. Nice work though.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No Sterling/Ramsey/Baines/Sanchez - that's very doable...
      No Fabregas at any time this year? Sorry I don't believe you

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Could easily be Hazard.

        1. Rassi
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Exactly. Also got Tadic since gw2 so enjoyed his 23 pointer. This week had Chambers and Downing scoring big too.

    Costa > Sakho

    1. Sting

      No

    0.7% ownership, 5.7, 44pts, Last 5: 6,13,15,2,6

    1. Jacques The Lad

    2. The Mandalorian

    Forster Green
    Ivan Dier Clyne Shackell Wisdom
    ADM Sanchez Fab Sigi Boyd

    1FT and 0.9 ITB

    Think this is worth a -8
    Sigi Shackell Dier out
    Downing Baines S Taylor in

    Even though I missed out on so many countless bandwagons this season, it gives me great delight when I see so many new options doing well every week.

    Highly owned players like Sterling, Siggy, Ivano, ADM etc may slow down and new options are becoming successful. No real template this season as there are so many good players in the Premier League this season.

    Stay strong fellow laggards. We'll come back 🙂

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Very soon I won't be surprised if we could be set for a spell where the likes of Hazard, Eriksen, Rooney and Feooo set the PL on fire.

    2. MJ6987
      • 13 Years

      Good score ENR! Hazard coming good.

      I have mega-knee jerked for the other expensive mid last night.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        It is very tempting to knee jerk after a tough week. I've just become so immune to bad weeks this season that it makes no difference anymore 😆

        1. MJ6987
          • 13 Years

    Woke up this morning and, no, it wasn't a dream. I really DID take an 8 point hit last night including STEWART DOWNING in.

        Didn't realise it got heat!

        I have certainly left that option open as I caught / avoided most of the key price changes last night. Want to see what happens today (and think on it some more!)

        Cheers for your feedback.

        Isn't a DGW wildcard worth more than 8 points plus tidying up?

    1 FT , 0.0 ITB

    Looking at these changes. Which one do you think it should be done first ?

    A: Siggy -> Downing
    B: Welbeck -> Sakho(?)
    C: Ivan + Welbeck -> Dummett / Saylor / Yun / Wisdom + Rooney

    Team Now
    --- --- ---
    Forster
    Ivan - Chambers - Clyne (Naylor, Moore)
    ADM - Fab - Siggy - Sanchez (Boyd)
    Pelle - Kun - Welbeck

    Morning all.I just realized that I made the following transfers when I returned home drunk last night:

    Sterling,Siggy and Lovren-> Sanchez,Downing and Dummett ( 4 points hit)

    Hopefully I won't regret it...

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Great moves!

      Considering, fully sober, Siggy/Sterling/Welbeck to Downing/Sanchez/Sakho

  20. Takedog1
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I was going to put chambers Moses and Oscar in for siggy sterling and Moore and pooped it! 🙁
    Always go with ur gut I suppose! 75 point with aguero to play I'm happy with tho!

    How did everybody else do??

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Was about to bring in Chambers/Hazard for Sterling/Wilson, but regretted one minute before deadline

      1. Takedog1
        • 10 Years

        Horrible feeling mate

  21. Sticky Mockwell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Poyet is going to drop Mannone tomorrow, surely?

    I accidentally left Krul on my bench yesterday. I've been assuming his 8 points are in the bank but now getting nervous....

  22. Darsh
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any non Aguero owners? Are you planning to get him in? It's tough to get him in alongside the likes of Costa, ADM, Sanchez, Fabregas and Baines... Who are all performing and costly...

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      When fit, I reckon Aguero's near essential. More so this season because most of City's goals are going through him.

    2. Durr
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dont have him, would prefer him over Costa tbh, but aslong as Costa keeps scoring ill be happy

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He hadn't scored in the last 3 games.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I posted this earlier - have a read 🙂

      I've just looked at the weeks I've captained Kun... he's actually been close to a disaster!!
      Only for the spurs game his captain scores would be rubbish.
      I wonder is that a sign that he'll trend back up towards his underlying stats today & score heavily... or that City are struggling for form & Kun will struggle as a result.
      At his price, he needs to start doing more imo.

      GW3 Stoke Home 2 points (4)
      GW5 Chelsea Home 2 points (4)
      GW8 Spurs Home 19 points (38)
      GW9 Wham Away 2 points (4)

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'll be very tempted to swap him for Rooney if he blanks today

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Planning on getting him for a hit but would need to lose Costa probably.
      Still 2 games to go before next weekend.

    5. thetinkerman
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I guess you should prioritise the 3 big hitters (attack) that you really need. For me, it's Costa, Aguero and Sanchez. I would pock on of ADM and Fabregas and downgrade to accomodate Aguero personally

        Yep. And Dummett soon after.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Any ideas?

    1. thetinkerman
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nice ste-up. Wouldn't touch that midfield and your defence looks strong. What about Kaboul > Chambers? A bit boring but saves cash at least

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yep Kaboul > Chambers sensible move & then 2x FT's for post-international break to deal with any injuries

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Too much Kaboul, not enough Naylor, imo. Also, I hate single goalies.

    3. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks guys. Will see how Spurs look today.

  25. thetinkerman
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Morning folks!

    What's the best route to Sanchez then?

    a) Siggy > Downing, Hazard > Sanchez
    b) Ramsey > Sanchez, Hazard > Eriksen
    c) downgrade Costa/Ageuro and do Ramsey > Sanchez (+ ~3m to spare)

    Last night I was thinking of doing a), but b) seems more sensible I reckon. Not excited about selling Hazard but I think I'd much rather have Sanchez and Rambo > Eriksen is probably an improvement right now.

    PS anyone posters from India? Booked my flight to India for January on Friday! Will be in Tamil Nadu!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      From India but have never visited Tamil Nadu 😉 Good Luck!
      P.s. A for me, less chance of backfiring 🙂

      1. thetinkerman
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Indeed. Still not too hot on Downing. Maybe it's just his unfashionable status, but maybe it's because it means selling Siggy and keeping Ramsey, who is looking unownable

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Ramsey can be easily changed to Walcott which might not be the case with Eriksen I think

          1. thetinkerman
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            I need Sanchez though... I will cross the Wally bridge when I come to it 🙂 By that time I might be able to downgrade one of Pelle, Costa or Kun, but this week I can't bring myself to do it

      2. thetinkerman
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years

      Not sure I like any of them buddy.

      B if I had too, assuming you have Cesc.

      1. thetinkerman
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years

        So you'd not both getting Sanchez???

    When do we know if Costa's called up for Spain?

    Reckon I might transfer him out if he is.

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Chelsea's fixtures after the international break though...

    3. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I can't see them letting him go. He's already hinted re "special care"

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not up to them surely unless he fakes an injury

        1. MJ6987
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          In theory you are right, in practice though I don't think Spain will want to further sour relations for a friendly.

      2. Elniñorules
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Jose's made enough noise to keep him for sure.

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

      Dunno, but he's gonna tear our wobbly defence a new one next week

      1. Elniñorules
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Only looked 50% fit last night and yet we looked much better with him. Hope he's fully fit and kicking for the Skrtel shirt pulling.

        1. FantaCity
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          'Skrtel Shirtpull' is a great name for an FPL team 🙂

    5. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He will surely be. They have already dropped points

  27. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    ufpl q?
    Do I play Rooney in place of Costa?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Of course.

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

      That's a luxury. I have to leave him in and ditch the other 6 numpties. 3 was a decent score for my players this week 😆

  28. Clay
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do this, folks:

    Kun and Hazard = Costa and Sanchez?

    1. thetinkerman
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Seems sideways... A Sanchez blank and a Kun hat-trick next week and you'll want to the the reverse move

      1. Clay
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yea, fair call.

        I like your musings by the way, mate.

  29. Elniñorules
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any La Liga followers around here know how Sanchez performed last season?

    Hot and cold kinda player or very consistent like he's been so far?

  30. Gregor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Think i'm gonna keep Raheem Sterling in the somewhat vain hope that at some point Rodgers realises he has to play up front.

    1. Durr
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Better than Mario but not good enough to play up there imo

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Balotelli clearly can't do it on his own, 4-4-2 diamond, Mario and Sterling up front.

    2. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think his best position is in the hole with 2 strikers up top (Studge and Balo)

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely, once Sturridge is back, Sterling should be worth having again anyway.
