Before we take a look at the Scout Pick markets for Gameweek 2, a reminder that Paddy are offering exclusive enhanced odds for Fantasy Football Scout visitors on Robin Van Persie to score anytime in Monday night’s game. Available to new accounts only, if you’ve yet to get a Paddy Power account, you can sign up and get these exclusive odds right here. Existing account holders can also get in on the act with Van Persie: Paddy have a money back special on offer for the Chelsea clash.
Van Persie aside, and with our weekly tenner in hand, lets look at some of the other names in this week’s Scout Picks and see how Paddy’s number crunchers rate their chances.
A man of the match showing in Monday’s 4-0 Magpies mauling failed to bring Edin Dzeko a goal but we’ve taken a punt on the Bosnian for the Picks this week. Rotation is always a concern but with Dzeko in full flow, we see him starting at Cardiff and carrying a big threat to Malky MacKay’s men. Paddy aren’t quite so sure, offering 5/1 on a Dzeko goal with a City clean sheet, odds perhaps influenced by the injury to Vincent Kompany. We reckon this is fairly generous and we’re happy parting with £4 of our stake money.
Our gamble on Dzeko forced Southampton’s Rickie Lambert onto the Scout Picks bench but he remains a hot property ahead of the St Mary’s clash with Sunderland. Off the mark from the spot at West Brom last time out, Lambert may now feel under threat from new striker, Pablo Osvaldo, which might well fuel a convincing display against the Black Cats. Again, Paddy have priced a Lambert goal with a Southampton clean sheet at 5/1, enough to tempt another £2 from our weekly purse.
Our final two markets switch to midfield with Paddy dangling 6/1 on a Kevin Mirallas goal and an Everton clean sheet in their home clash with West Brom. Similarly, they match those odds for Stoke’s Britannia clash with Crystal Palace, with Scout Pick Jon Walters offered at 6/1 for an anytime goal with a Potters clean sheet against Ian Holloway’s side. Of the two, we’re going to opt for Mirallas, putting up our final £4 quid on the Belgian and the Toffees to deliver.
