Stephane Sessegnon produced again in Wednesday’s thrashing of Norwich, just as he did against Swansea in Gameweek 22. It was the goal and an assist returns from that that game that came in for us at 5/1 last time out, fuelling our efforts for this week’s Fantasy Flutter.

Sergio Aguero was amongst the City side frustrated by the Goodison rearguard on Tuesday, but we perhaps shouldn’t read too much into another blank from the Argentinian. As a rule, Aguero saves his goals for home matches and with three in four Gameweeks to come, Fantasy managers are preparing for increased profits. Those could start flowing against Fulham this weekend. Paddy post a confident yet short 4/5 on Aguero to score and City to win against Martin Jol’s side, however, 21/10 on a brace for £5 offers just a little more reward for our risk.

Robert Huth was a monster last season, converting six goals, a tally which made him a hot Fantasy property and led to a significant price rise going into this term. Huth has found it difficult to live up to that reputation, however, with goals hard to come by, despite posing a significant threat in recent weeks. Paddy are offering 14/1 on the big German to deliver a goal and Stoke to keep Sunderland out at the Britannia – that’s worth a cheeky quid of our money.

Victor Moses was squeezed out of the Scout Picks this week, but, as today’s Watchlist article reveals, the fixture list offers hope that the Latics man will start to turn his potential into points over the next few weeks. Despite Everton holding firm against Roberto Mancini’s league leaders at bay in midweek, the Latics are fighting for survival and with Hugo Rodallega set to return to offer a sharper cutting edge, Moses and Wigan could be good for a goal or two. Paddy aren’t so sure and have been generous here, offering 8/1 on a Moses goal and Wigan to win, with a Moses goal and assist double at 18/1. As the anytime odds for Moses are rarely better than 7/2 across the board, 8/1 for £2 is a no brainer.

Our triple treat – the “who’s score the most goals” special is back on the menu this week with the Scout Picks forward line – Robin Van Persie, Aguero and Demba Ba all vying for our cash. Rather than a quick quip or analytical snippet as per usual, Demba Ba’s return to Newcastle’s line-up and a price of 11/2 requires little justification. Our last two quid is in the hands of the returning Magpies hat-trick hero.

Money Back Special

Paddy have focused on the two big encounters for their Money Back Specials this week. Down at Stamford Bridge, if a penalty is scored in the match between Chelsea and United, Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast singles. Over at Anfield meanwhile, if Gareth Bale scores anytime for Spurs, Paddy will again refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast single on the game.

          I decided to drop Sessegnon and kinda side step the issue (based on Sunderland's away record). I will start both Ba (because he is Ba) and Taiwo (new manager syndrome, attacking threat and possible clean sheet). Simpson first sub because villa seem to be free scoring at the moment.

      A) Richards-> ShawX or some other defender for 5.3 or less

      B) BAE-> Evans/ Santon/ Taiwo.

      I know Citeh have better fixtures than Spurs, but Richards has been so sh*te of late while BAE continues to get attacking returns here and there. So what should I do?

          Having some problem with the balance of this team as I’m aiming for a 3-5-2 set up for the season close though I had previously played a successful 3-4-3. I’ve gotten rid of Vorm, Westwood, BAE, Enrique, Shotton, McAuley, McLean, Ade & Sturridge to end up with this:

          Krul Mignolet

          Richards, JEvans, ShawX, Taiwo, Caulker

            Nasri - a gamble
            Lescott - a gamble

            Both legitimate options, but please get rid of Torres now.

          play Nani ?

          I am worried, he may start at the bench and play only since 60-70 min...

          I can put Ben Arfa into his place.

          what do u think ?
