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.

    Wildcarding as we speak. So, my 5 week plan is as follows:

    Bogdan
    Lescott – Enrique – Evans
    Bale – Dempsey – Silva – M Davies
    Rooney – RVP (c) – Suarez

    Bench: Schwartzer Surman – Senderos – Ferguson

    My plan for this GW as above. Thought and ideas appreciated. Thanks.

      I'm toying with similar options. I'm sticking with RVP. He's as close to guaranteed goals as you'll get. Suarez might come good, but it's a gamble. Skertel-wise, you're relying on 2 cleanies, which is possible, but again a gamble. RVP against a flimsy Newcastle defence... That'll do for me.

      I had (C) on Rooney all week and then switched to RVP last night. I can imagine they might line up fairly equally come end of gamewekk, but I can also see there being a vast difference too.

      To choose Rooney, who has been sticking it in the net despite not playing particularly well and in the hope that United will have had a rocket inserted up their ass after an embarrassing midweek performance.

      To choose RVP who is in the form of his life, in a team on a roll, can score against anyone and is now lining up his sniper of a left foot against a flimsy of late Toon defence.

      Can you tell I am torn too?!

          Morning, yeah to be honest I think there's a great danger of overthinking it this week and so I shan't be changing it again. In fact I've not even signed in to FPL just to avoid it.

          Skirts could be such a massive payday if he pulls off a couple of good games though. Two tough fixtures but worth a risk if that's what you need to be doing.

            Thing is - i don't need to be taking a risk - I'm 23 points ahead in my mini-league. I'm hoping this pays off so i can give myself a bigger buffer but i could easily end up losing the lead.

            Yep, over-thinking is a danger/waste - praying to Lady Luck seems to be time better spent...

    You just know that a Liverpool defender will grab a goal and 2 CS and someone will have (C) him and have the highest score of the GW :-p

    I guess it's a case of where you lie in your mini-leagues. Top, and it's needless risk; way behind and it could be a legendary move.
