So far this term, Paddy has us on the ropes. Two Gameweeks of bets have seen us register some near misses but we’re still two tenners down and without a win. This week we turn to some sure-fire Fantasy assets to help us swing matters back in our favour as we ponder Paddy Power’s Scout Pick inspired markets.

We need look no further than Robin van Persie. As mentioned in last night’s Paddy Says article, the Dutchman is at at 1/2 to score anytime against Ian Holloway’s Palace in the early kick-off. Hugely fancied, then, he’ll be sporting the armband for thousands of Fantasy managers, with the rest cowering behind the sofa in fear of a goal blitz. Those in fear of the Dutchman exploding may be interested in softening the potential blow. Paddy are offering 5/1 on Van Persie scoring two or more goals vs Palace and United keeping a clean sheet. We’ll have some of that action for £4 of our crispy tenner.

Theo Walcott is the other big gun on show. Safely nestled in the Scout Picks midfield, along with Olivier Giroud, he’ll provide the cutting edge for Arsene Wenger’s outfit at the Stadium of Light. With or without the promptings of tummy-bug victim, Mesut Ozil, the Gunners look well placed to snatch the points against a Sunderland side low on confidence after the Selhurst Park setback. Paddy have Walcott at 5/1 for an anytime goal with an Arsenal clean sheet against the Black Cats. Again, that’s enough to tempt £4 from our pockets.

That leaves just a couple of quid to throw Paddy’s way and we’re going to place it on a Scout Picks punt. Hull City’s Robbie Brady finds a spot in the midfield for the KC clash with Cardiff and, with his wand-like left peg from set-plays set to feature prominently, we’re happy to take on odds of 16/1 on a Brady goal with a Hull City clean sheet at home to the Bluebirds.

Register and Bet £10 And Get £20 Free

If you’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 £20 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 Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

        Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic

        The new bonus point system (BPS) so far appears to be benefitting centre backs. But what of the defensive midfielders? Is there a case for further tweaks to the BPS so that the hard work of this group of players is properly rewarded.?

            I was thinking of it because in the sky and metro games Fellaini is a great prospect.. But in FPL no one is considering him. I'd love to get him but his key attributes aren't rewarded in FPL frustratingly.

              I hope I don't catch this new strain of flu that's going around. Epidemiologists have identified it as HN-Publicly Questioned the Manager-76

              Looks to have hit Shinji pretty hard.

              Anyone remember when Mata & Cazorla were greats in this game? Reckon they'll struggle to get into double digits this season.....

                Insane innit

                Both have been underrated all of a sudden. Santi's best position is playing in hole and mata can hardly getting game time

                  Two of my favourite players last season and now check 'em out. Esp when you see some of the dross that gets game time week in week out.

                  Sure they'll both get triple digits this year, but right now it's going in reverse.

                Mata to start and score later. Then it will change all of a sudden

                I don't think either had scored by this time last season. Mata's gametime might be a problem but Santi's nailed on when fit and playing in an even more productive front four than last year.

              Took 4/6 on arsenal thinking it was a banker. Cue Mert Ozil Cazorla out and their team looks a lot weaker!
