The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek 33

While Paddy Power get distracted by the gee-gees at Aintree, we turn to the Scout Picks for inspiration once again in another bid to beat them at their own game. The late news on Wayne Rooney’s injury has left us one down in the market stakes but there’s still a couple of in-form budget-friendly midfielders that catch our eye…

We start by crossing the border to Wales, where Cardiff are set to entertain fellow-strugglers Crystal Palace. This time around, Paddy are prepared to offer 10/1 on Jordan Mutch to score and the Bluebirds to register a clean sheet. The in-form midfielder has netted three times in the last two, whilst Tony Pulis’ side have scored just one goal in their last six road trips – with this in mind, Paddy gets £4 of our kitty.

Our final £6 goes on this afternoon’s showdown at Carrow Road, where Norwich take on West Brom in a proverbial six-pointer. Paddy are offering 11/1 on Robert Snodgrass to score and the Canaries to keep out their midlands opponents. Bearing in mind that Snodgrass has scored in two of his last three home fixtures and Chris Hughton’s side have conceded a single strike in the last six in front of their own supporters, this is our bet of the week.

      Sturridge for me. Dzeko may be good for this week, but Aguero could be back next, limiting his playing time.

      Or Lukaku

          I sold Hazard this week.
          The last time I did that, he went on to score a hat-trick
          So in probability he will do that again today, and I will cry in my sleep

            That was against Newcastle, which is a team I would never sell him before facing. Stoke are looking solid though, and I think the City game will be high scoring. I'm doing the move next week either way so, tempted to do it one week early

              Then, Newcastle weren't as bad as their current form, but anyway
              Also, I am also thinking the City game would be high-scoring, hence I brought in Lallana

          i got rid for Yaya for the last DGW. Toure smashed out 30 odd points, Hazard picked up 8. 😎

          I don't expect Silva to do that, but with hi extra games, i do fancy him to at least equal Hazard.

          Also, the continental hangover could be relevant here. Haz will play today after a demoralising defeat in Paris, and they'll have to go again after a big Euro game next too.

                Am I the only one picturing a Llama in a saints shirt? 😛
                I'd say bench Lallana, doubt he'll get much at the Etihad. Sterling may have game time worries but could do something if Liverpool go crazy

              who would you play?

              Vlaar (FUL)
              Ward (car)
              Coleman (ars)

              I am against playing Coleman as I'm already starting Baines. And I feel double Everton defence albeit both attacking is pushing it a little. Though I am interested in opinions.

              First instinct is Vlaar

              It does mean I will miss out on the footy tonight, but these opportunities only come around once in a while for us so I don't mind that at all...

              Good luck to everyone...

              Sturridge --> Dzeko? Probably as a 1 week punt.

              Don't really care about my OR, but chasing a ML lead of 38 points.

              Will bring in Aguero for Dzeko if he's fit after this week.

              Thanks in advance! 🙂

              did gerrard to haz this week.

              may regret it but do any stevie g owners feel it looks wrong when he plays so deep? i know his points speak for themselves but to me i only see the points coming from pens or the odd free kick if he risks getting bitten getting the ball off suarez.

              also did nolan to mutch.

              earlier in the season nolan was a waste of space and i said to myself id never be a fool with him again. but the double fixture was too tempting. shame on me father i sinned.
