With a goal from reliable Robin, an assist from Juan Mata and a clean sheet from Sunderland, we took Paddy Power for three crisp tenners last week as our weekly treble bet came in. Back in profit, can we maintain momentum with this week’s markets?

Determined to claw back our winnings, Paddy are dangling a very tempting proposition our way to open things up. With 13 goals to his name, Michu has been a sensation and, with Stoke at the Liberty this weekend, the Spaniard will be looking to add to their impressive first season tally. He’s gone three starts without a strike, while the Swans have conceded in their last three home matches. Even so, odds of 5/1 on a Michu goal with a Swansea clean sheet against the Potters look tasty and we’re willing to go gung-ho and throw no less than £4 the way of Paddy on this market.

Steven Gerrard found a place in our Scout Picks last night with Luis Suarez missing out. While Suarez seems to have hoodoo over the Canaries, we’re still backing Gerrard to get amongst the points have bagged returns in seven consecutive starts. Chris Hughton’s side have conceded in their last five away trips and we’re backing a home win with the skipper again getting in on the act. Paddy are dangling 4/1 on a Gerrard goal with a Liverpool clean sheet against Norwich and we’re more than happy to take them up on that for £2 of our money.

The final single player market involves City’s clash with an out-of-sorts Fulham. Although Edin Dzeko makes way for Sergio Aguero in our Scout Picks this week, the Bosnian has four goals in his last three league outings and looks primed to punish the Cottagers in today’s clash. Paddy are clearly backing City here, with just 2/1 on offer for a Dzeko goal with a City clean sheet. Nonetheless, we’ll throw them another £3 of our stake for this one.

That leaves just a solitary shekel for our treble market and, having triumphed last week, we’re perhaps hedging our bets somewhat this time around. A Van Persie goal against Spurs, together with a David Silva assist against Fulham and a Liverpool clean sheet is being offered at 10/1 by our bookmaker friends.

      I would imagine it would take a massive turn for the worst overnight for it to be off. With Sky cameras present, Chelsea will be flexing every sinew to get the game on so only conditions in the surrounding area would likely put it at risk. Judging by today's news so far, we're set for a full programme.

    Lost on last page. Lads, I still have my original WC intact. And, rather than playing it next week like everyone else I'm thinking of saving it for a couple more weeks until GW 26 and then play it after the transfer window has well and truly closed and we've had a Gameweek to look at how the new players have settled in their respective teams. What do you think of my strategy? Or am I over-simplifying things and should just WC next week to maintain the template team? Your thoughts will be much appreciated. Thanks. 🙂

      Been pondering the same. I'm going Walcott (c) Caz (vc). If Walcott gets a nasty injury while putting his shoes on, you'll have another Arsenal player taking over. It's highly unlikely both Arsenal games will be cancelled. I'd say it's highly unlikely even one of them are.

    Morning guys,

    Can I have your thoughts on this wildcard team?

    Jussi (bego)
    Gibbs, Mertesacker, O'brien, (Evra, Cameron)
    Walcott, noble, michu, fellaini, mata
    RVP, Sturridge (Berbatov)

    Obviously weighted toward DGW, but should leave a good core squad after as well
