We’ve been able to put our feet up and enjoy a few cold tinnies and give our wallet an international reprieve, through a second successful Flutter Gameweek in a row. Once again tripling our stake, Kevin Nolan’s early poach helped secure the full three points and a cleanie over a Fulham side clearly shell-shocked by the exit of Mousa Dembele and Clint Dempsey. Our season’s profit now sits at £43 and we’re looking to improve on that with this week’s Fantasy Flutter.

To win 3-0 after defeat of the same scoreline to Swansea in the week previous, certainly showed a resilience that had been lacking in the Hammers dressing room when sliding into the Championship a couple of seasons ago. Paddy wish to test this new mettle by offering us a tempting price for Scout Pick Robert Snodgrass to net and Norwich to keep a clean-sheet against Sam Allardyce’s side in the early Saturday kickoff. The bookie is offering an 8/1 is the price for this market, and considering Paddy are offering the same odds on him to score first, the price seems decent for this home double. We’re going to throw £2 their way on this.

James McClean only warmed the bench in the Republic of Ireland qualifier win over Kazakhstan, but got a run out in the decisive friendly win over Oman on Tuesday. He’ll be well rested and ready to prove himself to both club and country in Sunderland’s fixture against Liverpool at the weekend. Paddy price up a McClean goal and a Sunderland cleanie at 14/1, and with Liverpool floundering at the moment, this could be the some of the best value you’ll get this season. We’re punting £3 for another big return.

Next up under the Flutter focus is Arsenal’s new signing Santi Carzorla. His pace and agility both on and off the ball have torn defences apart in their opening fixtures, although the Gunners have only managed to capitalise in the win at Anfield last time out. Paddy offer a respectable 7/2 for a Cazorla goal and a fourth successive Gunners clean sheet. It’s got a good chance of getting over the line, as is reflected in the short odds, so we’ll steam in for £4 to make the return a little more appealing.

Our final punt of the week is on Everton’s Steven Pienaar. With two solid wins under their belt, The Toffees went into their game against West Brom with confidence, but some rash mid-fielding and limp marking at the back, the Baggies came away with the points. Pienaar by his own admission, had his worst game in an Everton shirt but has been outstanding in previous outings. With that in mind we put our last £1 on him to score against Newcastle and Everton to get a clean-sheet at 9/1.

      Cazorla.

      Guaranteed gametime and has the easiest fixture.

      i have Hazard and Torres and i have a funny feeling that QPR are going to do well today. I don;t have RVP but Wigan may also be a bit of a tricky one, plus we don't know how long RVP will play for.

      Basically, if I had them 3 players I'd be captaining Santi.

      JUst me, I guess, but if I had both i would still captain Santi this week.

      Arsenal have created chances in all 3 of their games but it was only against Liverpool that they converted. As previous Scout article shows, teams that create chances will score goals and goals means pts in FPL.

      Arsenal will create chances against Southampton and judging by what we've seen over the first 3 GW's then Southampton are liable to concede at least 2 and probably go down bravely in defeat. Santi will be at the hub of all they do and probably already has the 3 baps in the bag.

      He may be a VERY good differential to RVP this weekend too.

            Thanks everyone, definitely Lescott and Jaask then.

            It's tough between Dyer and Guthrie, as I do have Michu. If Guthrie plays in the hole, he could be a great pick :/ But then, Dyer is the man on form. Safe option must surely be Dyer?

              Safe is def Dyer and they have equal upside. So Dyer is the choice even if you have Michu imo.

              Same worry about arsenal coverage too. From the start I looked at getting arsenal coverage for the Southampton game but that's not really an option for now.

              Their next 2 aren't great so take solace in any monster scores may balance out over their 3 upcoming fixtures.

              Except for the arsenal cover your team looks decent.

              RVP. Everyone is doing it, man! Don't you wanna be like the cool kids?

              Yeah, I'm tempted by Cazorla, but it seems we have no choice but to go with RVP.

                You always have a choice, unless you choose to be a sheep. And even then its still your choice.

              B Cazorla.

              Guaranteed game time and the easiest fixture of the 3 imo.

              Southampton unlikely to go to the Emirates and hold out for a 0-0 and they are averaging 2 goals a game conceded.

              Arsenal should keep that statistic going and Santi will be involved in pretty much everything they do.

              He could also be an incredibly fruitful differential over RVP this weekend.

                I agree it could be good differential as everyone else will have rvp, just not sure if i have the balls

                surely utd are going to score at least 2 and rvp has to play a part you would think..

                True, loaded but the wrong way. That said QPR have conceded 8 goals in 3 games

            My WC team is:

            Mignolet(Foster)

            Baines-Jenkinson-Hughes(Demel,Davies)

            Hazard-Santi-Michu-Dyer-Pienaar

            Tevez-RVP (Lambert)

            it is very painful for me when I want to push MAKE TRANSFERS button when I'm trying to transfer Dyer out...I have him from the start and have Michu as well...I love to watch the swans games when he is in action..and now I want to get guthrie in his place who will be a bench warmer almost every week and upgrade lambert to fletcher...I do not know if this is a good idea...What do you think guys?What can you suggest?thanks in advance for every repost...

              Also tinkering with my WC team and I'll have Guthrie as a benchwarmer every week (hopefully). Really no need to have two startable Swansea mids if you intend to have a startable attacker imo

            Noble 》 Guthrie - for a four point hit (Spurs look terrible and Guthrie playing in hole)

            Or

            Play Maloney away at United.

            Your help is appreciated.

            I'm thinking that with RVP's late showing last week SAF might be inclined to keep him on the pitch for the whole 90
