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.

    30 points ahead in my mini league

    Krul
    Evans, Verm, Turner
    Dempsey, Bale, VDV, Valencia
    Cisse, RVP, Jelly

    Mingolet, Siggy, Cahill, Caulker

    My rival has same front line as me but has made 2 transfers. He uses this site so should I assume he has done Cisse to Rooney and block him?

      Getting Valencia doesn't achieve much. If he has Rooney capt then Rooney will likely be getting some points. Don't think Valencia is adequate MU cover.

      I am in a near-identical position to you, same forward lines etc.

      Am thinking of Bale -> Nani + McClean -> Moses/Maloney. Or just McClean -> Nani

      As he has Rooney, am hoping for RVP to outscore. There's no other obvious forward to bring in for Cisse. Hernandez if you're desperate, but it doesn't feel right.

    Epic Fail - I get that you want to match your ML rival with your (c) choice. Makes sense for you. I have a 70 point lead on my rival so I should just stick with RVP shouldn't I. He will either stick with Papiss or go with RVP.

      Yeah I'd stick with RVP. That's what I'd do if I had a normal lead.

      Although you've probably already sewn up your mini league with a lead that big anyway so you could take a gamble if you wanted, but I guess you probably want to play it a bit safe just incase.
