→ The 2014/15 season was Sergio Aguero's best ever for Fantasy returns. Seven of his goals/assists and 36 of his FPL points came in two meetings with which club that year? Scout Betting

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.

      Not sure if you are serious. Will answer though.
      To defend someone as quick and skilful as him you need to get low and balanced, try doing that with your legs close.

        This is a serious question. In fact you know when I play football with my friends from university, I always manage to nutmeg them even though it's pretty obvious as it is my signature move in football (hence my name).

        I have been nutmegged quite a few times my self haha but I am not a defender so I can't answer my question!

    I'm considering ditching Berbatov. I'm WC-ing late, so 2-week punt. Best option?

    A) Lukaku (AVL, eve) - Excellent form, decent fixtures, SHOULD start both
    B) PCisse (RDG, avl) - Shite form, excellent fixtures, 100% nailed on at CF
    C) Dzeko (FUL, qpr) - Excellent form, excellent fixtures, will maybe, perhaps, start?
    D) Sturridge (NOR, ars) - Good form, okay fixtures, will get 45+ min v NOR and probably start v ars
    E) Pod - missed training due to illness, too risky IMO

    Dzeko is obvious if he gets gametime. PCisse is risky but best fixtures. I don't think Lukaku will get much form Everton away. Sturridge could explode also, hmmm. Tough.
