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.

    WARNING Saints will score today against Arsenal. Off to see the mighty Saints vs Arsenal today to see the debut of Gaston Ramirez. With him alongside Adam Lallana feeding Lambert expect to see at least 1 Saints goal today. We might ship 7 at the other end but Saints will score.

      Hangeland is a must, but between Cuellar and Williams it is a toss up for me.

      I'd get Bale out for maybe Yaya or Barfa. Jenkinson > Gibbs as he'll be dropped soon and Gibbs is better for assists anyway. Done well to get Berba in, could be good differential if it works out as every man and his dog has Lambert or Graham.
