After a brief hiatus, itโ€™s time to darken the door of our bookmaker friends, Paddy Power, to interrupt them counting out their Grand National profit and offer up some Scout Pick markets for this week’s “Flutter”.

With another double Gameweek looming large, Fantasy managers are already circling Swanseaโ€™s Michu. Strangely omitted from the Player of the Year nominations, the Spaniard has been an outstanding performer this term, cracking 17 goals in a debut Premier League season. It seems unlikely heโ€™ll settle on that tally and with Southampton at the Liberty this weekend, Michu will be targeting his third goal in as many games. Paddy are offering up 17/2 on a Michu goal with a Swansea clean sheet at home to the Saints. Weโ€™ll have some of that to the tune of ยฃ3 of our stake money.

Robert Snodgrass didnโ€™t quite sneak his way into the Picks this week but made our bench amidst strong competition for the midfield places. Nevertheless, the former Leeds man will likely be the chief tormentor of basement-dwellers Reading at Carrrow Road on Saturday. Snodgrass was on target against Swansea in his last home outing and Paddy are dangling 15/2 on a Snoddy goal with a Canaries clean sheet against the Royals. Those odds claim another ยฃ2 of our cash.

That leaves a cool fiver for our final two bets โ€“ the bulk of which is going on Paddyโ€™s Romelu Lukaku market. The bustling Belgian started life on the bench in the 2-1 defeat to the Gunners but we canโ€™t see beyond a start for him when Newcastle pay visit to the Hawthorns this weekend. The Magpies have been torn asunder by injuries and with spirits low after the shocking reverse to Sunderland, weโ€™d wager theyโ€™ll be some joy for the Baggies and Lukaku. With odds of 8/1 on a Lukaku goal with a West Brom clean sheet against Newcastle, weโ€™re comfortable with throwing ยฃ4 Paddyโ€™s way.

Finally, that leaves just a pound coin for our usual treble bet. This week it pairs the goal power of Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez, together with QPRโ€™s desperation for a shut-out in their crucial clash with Stoke at Loftus Road. Paddy are offering 8/1 on a Van Persie goal against Villa, a Suarez strike when Chelsea visit Anfield and a clean sheet for the Rโ€™s at home to the Potters.

If youโ€™re new to Paddy Power, then you can take up any of these odds and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up via this site and get a free ยฃ20 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 Powerโ€™s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

      I'm starting to think doubling on Mata and Haz could pay off big time... Utd could have the title sewn up (and let's not forget Chelsea scored 2 at OT recently), and Che V Tot could be a high scoring game.

      Other than that, I'd say Bale and Michu are the only other should-haves. Maloney not far behind. MC too risky.

        It was bench either caz or hazard

        im hoping Caz dosent play to take away the choice

        reason im plying caz ahead of haz is because caz very high ownership and him scoring would hurt me more if i benched him

      Good team, but disagree with bench.

      Osman is injured, and Fell will play deep. Play hazard and bench Fell.

        hadnt thought of benching fellani , does have some merit, although hazard due for a sub appearence after starting last two
