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.

    Chaps, before FFS rudely decided to start a new post, a few commented on my weak bench, but please keep in mind I make excellent changes.. it's the Wild Card that chuffs me up and that's what I'm on now. The defence over the next 4-5 GWs rotates very well:

    Krul (Mig)
    Kompany Taiwo Simpson
    Silva McClean Bale Valencia
    Aguero(c) RVP(v) Ba

    Subs: Dempsey Caulker Kelly

    Keep in mind, your 2nd sub is rarely needed and for GW24, Swansea have WBA - hardly zero chance for a CS. Now, keeping a plan of 4-5 GWs, do you think there are any holes?

      Facing the same dilemma - I have Sturridge, who I can sell for 7,1 and 0.2 in the bank, and FT gone. Was hoping Ba wouldn't rise until tomorrow (and I want to get him in) but pretty sure (even though transfer activity isn't visible at the mo) that Ba has enough transfers in to rise. But I don't want to take the hit especially as the Newc game might be subject to the weather.

        There will be no games affected by the weather in England.
        Trust me.
        Be prepared to see a lot of continental players playing in thermal leggings and wearing gloves though.
        Paul Scholes will be wearing his sleeveless shirt no doubt.

      Aguero is due a goal or 2 surely!

      RVP early kick off, was rubbish in his last game

        lol, RVP hit the woodwork twice, one with a magnificent lob. He's so s**t!

      Arsenal are bad at the moment, and RVP has played a lot recently. City are scoring for fun at home. Aguero is a beast at home. Aguero has better players surrounding him. The list goes on...
