With Paddy tinkering behind the scenes, we rested the Fantasy Flutter for a week but it returns for the penultimate Gameweek, fresh and ready to perform. Let’s see what our bookmaker buddies have done with some of this week’s Scout Pick selections…

Nikica Jelavichas had been somewhat overshadowed by the extraordinary impact made by Papiss Cisse in the North East but, on Merseyside, they’re in little doubt they’ve got themselves a goalscoring gem in the wily Croatian. Jelavic may have drawn a blank at Stoke on Tuesday but we really don’t think Wolves are ready for this “jelly”: we fancy we’ll see that cheeky assassins grin once more on Sunday. Paddy are offering 9/2 on Jelavic striking and Everton keeping it clean at Molineux – we’ll take that for £3 of our tenner this week.

Clint Dempsey has been kept quiet for the last three matches, perhaps suffering from being shifted from the striker’s role with Pavel Pogrebnyak’s return to fitness. Even so, the American is sure to be a key weapon as Fulham look to extend their flourishing form with a win over an indifferent Sunderland. Dempsey to notch with a clean sheet for the home side is at 11/2 with Paddy and we’ll throw a fiver at that.

With an unassailable lead in our Captain Poll this week, all eyes will be on Robin Van Persie when the Canaries flutter into the Emirates shooting range. Despite the Dutchman dominating our expectations, we’ll also be looking for Thomas Vermaelen to produce, having already registered six goals this term. The big Belgian is at 9/1 for an anytime goal coupled with an Arsenal cleanie. That provides a home for our final £2 stake.

Money Back Specials

Paddy are hitting all the weekends biggest games at the top and bottom of the table with their Money Back Specials. First up, with City looking to edge closer to the title with three points at the Sports Direct Arena, Paddy are offering refunds if there’s late drama. If there is a goal in the last five minutes between Newcastle and City, Paddy Power will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match up to a value of £100 per customer. Paddy are offering the exact same deal on the United vs Swansea clash later on Sunday.

Moving to Monday night’s relegation scrap, at the Blackburn vs Wigan tussle, Paddy will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match if there is a red card shown, again, up to a value of £100 per customer.

Register and Bet £10 And Get £20 Free

If you’re new to this betting lark and new to Paddy Power then you can take up any of these odds and offers and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up via this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

Finally of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

      Don't think Evans will play so whether you want better defensive cover (although I wouldn't transfer defender in if it meant taking a hit.

      If you have funds, could do turner to Hibbert say as unlikely you will play him against Man U next week.

    Ok Huth and Verm fit to start, but Evans injured, Simpson playing City and poss injured, Naylor at OT probably getting stuffed! So I need a third starter...

    Plan was to sell Sinclair for Moses this week. Whoever I play at the back and Sinclair are likely to be a pair of 2 pointers. So I'm thinking taking a 4 point hit to get Jags and Moses? Good cleanie chance and attacking points vs Blackburn?! Or just do Evans to Hibbert and leave Sinclair in for 2 points?

    Simpson/Naylor and Sinclair 2+2=4
    Jags and Moses poss 6+?=? (- 4point hit)
    Hibbert and Sinclair poss 6+2 =8

      i think your strikers are good, cisse can score against anyone, and jelly has wolves which has a worse defence than the defence of fourteen year old asian girls...RVP is also good..

      i would go evans > evra/rio/gibbs/verm?

      sess for pienaar? but thats a 4 point, how is your team compared to the guy in second place?

        Taking a hit for a united wide man means that realistically they will have to get 2 assists or a goal and an assist for it to be worthwhile. Say you get in valencia and so start on-4. assuming united dont play nani & young ,Say united win 4-0 and he sets up 2 and they keep a clean sheet then he gets 9 points and will have done very very well, take off the hit points of 4 and that leaves 5 points. Well if you had say Sessegnon he's likely to get 2 pts at least and surely there is as much chance of him getting an assist or goal at fulham as there is Valencia starting, and contributing in at least a couple of ways. Thoughts ???
