Scuppered by Roberto Mancini’s rotational policy, last week’s Flutter didn’t quite go as planned. Our £20 stake on a Man City white wash was returned to the Scout wallet after both Sergio Aguero and David Silva were left twiddling on the bench. But as Paddy have posted a couple of special doubles amongst their Cheltenham frenzy, we’re letting our money ride straight into this week’s bets…

Two teams in red take our focus this week as Liverpool travel to Sunderland for part one of their double Gameweek and Man United host West Brom in a potential title banana skin encounter. Paddy have priced up anytime goalscorer, win and clean-sheet bets, featuring Wayne Rooney and Luiz Suarez.

Although Rooney has been amongst the goals of late, and the 15/8 is comparatively better value, West Brom are riding high of the back of three solid wins. Goal bonanza’s against Wolves and Sunderland, and a stern 1-0 against Chelsea suggest that Roy Hodgson’s side will put up a fight – that shifts Rooney’s bet out of our crosshairs and has us looking to Suarez and Liverpool instead.

Sunderland’s resurgence under Martin O’Neil suffered a major blow via a 4-0 drubbing to the Baggies, while the dismissal of Stephane Sessegnon and Lee Cattermole in the Tyne-Wear derby stalemate last weekend will surely be felt when Liverpool come knocking. Although Suarez has struggled to fire, he showed enough against Arsenal to suggest he’ll trouble the Black Cats. Paddy are offering 7/2 on a Suarez anytime goal with Liverpool winning with a clean sheet – that’s enough to tempt us and our double stake of £20 is placed.

Paddy’s other Scout specials top and tail the Gameweek, with a Ryo Miyachi special in the weekend’s opening game at the Reebok and an Arsenal goalscorer double in Monday night’s game.

Robin Van Perise and Theo Walcott may well be disappointed at their failure to progress in the Champions league, but they’re sure to be happy about the momentum built on the domestic front. Tenacious wins against Spurs and Liverpool lead them into this week’s encounter with Newcastle – a real test of their staying power. The Newcastle back four is expected to be under pressure and Van Persie and Walcott both to score is rocking a reasonable 100/30 at Paddy.

Ryo Miyachi has only featured in three Bolton games after being loaned from the Gunners, and unfortunately for him, they’ve all been defeats. Not a great introduction to the Premier League for the 19-year-old but with struggling QPR at the Reebok on Saturday, his prospects look set to improve. With a 4.9 FPL price tag and a mention in the Scout Picks this week, Miyachi might well emerge as an end of season budget bandwagon with legs. For those of you skeptical of the short prices offered in the above specials, Paddy are offering an interest friendly 11/2 on a Miyachi goal and a Bolton win at home to the R’s.

          The odds seem a bit skinny, I like the look of Ryo as a FF prospect. But he hasn't yet scored in the prem and Bolton are not yet setting the league on fire.

            I was fed up of my team so I'm gambling on Ryo. Looking forward to watching him in the early kick off. Considering the fixtures he's had its no surprise he hasn't scored in the league yet and he's shown potential so I think its worth a punt.

            There tends to be a couple of relegation threatened teams that come into form near the end of the season and Bolton have the fixtures to be one of those teams.

    I looked at the Paddy Power "Are you addicted to gambling?" checklist and replaced 'gambling' with 'FPL'. The results were terrifying:

    If you are unsure whether or not you may have developed an FPL problem, you can use the following simple checklist for self-assessment. If you answer positively to at least four of the following questions it is recommended you call either our customer service staff or one of the professional bodies highlighted below to seek professional advice.

    Preoccupation: Do you find that you are becoming preoccupied with past FPL successes?
    Tolerance: Do you find that you need to increase the amount of FPL you play to achieve the same enjoyment and excitement?
    Unable to stop: Have you recently tried to stop playing FPL but were unsuccessful?
    Irritability: Do you become moody or impatient when you are cutting down on how much you play FPL?
    Escape from reality: Do you ever use FPL as a way of ignoring stress in your in life or even pick you up when you feel down?
    Chase losses: Do you ever try to win back the points you lost by increasing the size or frequency of your gambles?
    Conceal involvement: Do you ever hide how much or how often you play FPL from significant others?
    Unsociable behaviour: Have you ever committed fraud or theft to get money to play FPL with?
    Ruin a relationship/opportunity: Has FPL ever ruined a personal relationship or an occupational or educational opportunity?
    Bail-out: Have you ever needed others to relieve a financial problem created by FPL?

        My idea was to transfer Kompany back in for Skrtel next game week. The 4 pt hit would be recovered due to the DGW, even if Liverpool concede (unless Skrtel doesn't play or gets sent off).

        It I leave Kompany in then I have to play a newcastle defender, which doesnt look promising..
