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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

                I prefer him over Nani or Miralles, which is what he asked. Fixtures are not bad (check the ticker..).

            Nani is a good option but I seriously doubt him being picked..

            Eriksen could be a good pick

              Hmm yeah I guess both are not 100% to start and have good fixture this week, with Eriksen having better fixtures long-term. Can always sell Eriksen if that doesnt work out. Cheers

          Why the bloody hell is Kompany protected in TotalFPL..!?! I want the bugger to fall so i can buy him cheap.

          Is this a new ploy by FPL to avoid big fluctuations in prices..? Don't get it.

            They are protected but I'm pretty sure there's a threshold for dropping - it's just increased significantly. There was a hot topic about this in August.

          Fellas!
          Finally decided to go without RVP and managed to put together something decent.

          How does this WC team look:

          Mignolet
          Collins Ivanovic Zabaleta
          Hernandez HBA Walcott Lampard
          Soldado Benteke Giroud

          Bench: Boruc JWP Coleman Chester
          Bank 0.5

          I personally like the front 3 but not too sure about the midfield... Had Silva but took him out for HBA after the injury news..

          Do you think im going too safe with this selection? Almost no punts at all!

          Which is the better trio

          A) Collins, Whittingam (rotate with JWP) and RVP
          B) Ferdinand, Coutinho and Sturridge

          Silva,Lambert>brady,RVP for a hit? Taking out Lambert for a hit would hurt but afraid of all the RVP captainers over the next 5GW...

            He will definitely start. I can see him grabbing a goal.

            - obviously mignolet
            - both good options.. tekkers if you want to follow the croud but soldado can also play well!

          I sMertesacker definitely out? If so I;ll put him on subs nbench and play Kim instead. Don't want Ward coming in as Auto-sub
