So, are you backing Robin van Persie in your Fantasy lineup? What about a rejuvenated Wayne Rooney? If you’re without United’s attacking assets and feeling a little anxious ahead of Sunday’s big derby then Paddy have a little something for you. They’re offering Fantasy Football Scout visitors enhanced odds of 7/1 on a United win in Sunday’s big game. United are out at 23/10 for mere mortals but our visitors who are yet to register a Paddy Power account can get hold of these special odds via this link.

If you’re an existing customer, you can still take advantage of Paddy’s generosity – they’re offering a money back special on Sunday’s clash – if United win the game, they’ll refund any losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match.

To be clear, bets on these enhanced odds are limited to a £10 stake and are open to new customers only.

A reminder that we posted Paddy’s clean sheet and goalscorer odds last night and, tomorrow morning, we’ll bring you some new markets based on this week’s Scout Picks.

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 have a bet, always gamble responsibly.

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

    Chances of Aguero, Clichy and Toure starting this GW?

        Nah mate Yaya has to be nailed on in the derby.

        1. onionbarje

          i think he means Kolo

            I just figured they were all City questions. Anyway if it actually is Kolo then i dont see him starting this week. Skrtel deserves to keep his place after the two games he`s had, and Sakho/Agger should take the other spot.

            1. Demí
              • 15 Years
              12 years, 7 months ago

              Does Wisdom deserve to keep his place at RB?

              1. TeamSteam
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                12 years, 7 months ago

                Based on Brendan`s statements i wouldn`t be at all surprised to see Martin Kelly back in the starting XI. Wisdom is a decent right back, Kolo is pretty shit at RB imo. And i don`t think he`ll revert to the 3-5-2 kind of thing just yet, especially not at home. I reckon Kelly`s in, if not Wisdom yeah.

                1. Demí
                  • 15 Years
                  12 years, 7 months ago

                  Fair enough, didn't know Kelly was this ready.

            Sorry should have mentioned I meant Kolo!

        Cheers Demi.. Aguero rested last weekend because 'It was only Stoke' then?

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 7 months ago

          I think it was more due to an eye on the CL game, and coming back from internationals. No way he leaves him out of the derby imo. Aguero looked back to his best in midweek

    2. Left Peg
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      I want to know about Agger! An injury in the gym? What on earth was he playing at?!

  2. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 7 months ago

    Damn them and their new customers only nonsense!

  3. ver_sparda
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 7 months ago

    I plan on having Clyne.
    Doubling up on Boruc a good idea?

    1. onionbarje
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      looking at his fixtures doesn't seem bad. I would wait one week to see if is really nailed on, or Chambers is the real #1 but he should be #1

    2. FACUPARSE
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Do you think they can hold Liverpool at bay this weekend?

      1. ver_sparda
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        I am not going to start him.
        a rotation defender

  4. r0nh

    12 years, 7 months ago

    My captain options for this week

    Theo (H) v Stoke - he is always a threat going forward, but has been a bit wasteful recently though. I think Stoke wont give him much space & they are famous for their tight defense, like last week against City. I can't see their being many goals in this game.

    Giroud (H) v Stoke - similar as above, I see a tight game. Giroud has been in great form though & if Arsenal do get a goal, he could be involved.

    RVP (A) v City - always likely to get a goal, no matter who he plays. City's defense hasn't looked convincing this year. In the big games, it is usually the big players that make the difference. It should be a great atmosphere & Rooney & RVP look determined to outdo each other.

    Soldado (A) v Cardiff - Cardiff will be strong at home, as City have found out, but apparently they have conceded a lot of chances inside the box. Soldado was rested last night, so no danger of fatigue, which may be a concern for other players that were in Europe this week. He is a proven goalscorer, but hasnt scored for his last 2 league games, law of averages suggest he may well be due. Plus Forca said he will captain him!!

    Anyone have any advice for me?

    1. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      I have same problem, its a good/bad headache to have!

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      I would say RVP! Forca's recent captain choices have been awful so far, don't follow him!

    3. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      I dont think Arsenal-Stoke will be tight at all. Have you seen Stoke play this year? They seem to be very attacking, even away from home. I see tons of goals in that game actually.
      I think im going with HBA. Hull is likely to concede in most games away from home, and with HBA`s form combined with Hull`s injuries he looks a good shout.

      1. Rafabio
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        This exactly. Stoke is a different beast this year and actually venture forward, even on the road. This will be goals and I expect ARS to score at least three as per usual.

    4. Left Peg
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      I think you've got it summed up pretty well. I'm hovering between Benteke and Soldado for my captain.

    5. LewanGOALski

      Wally is due to explosion

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        To be fair he has missed quite a lot of chances and scored a cracker in the CL game this week. Arsenal seem to be pretty freescoring atm as well, i could change my mind and captain Giroud if i bring him in.

  5. TeamSteam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 7 months ago

    Is Giroud the "only" striker to get in if you dont already own him?

    1. Mojo Rojo
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Sturridge?

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Sturridge and Soldado are my two other strikers. Looking to get rid of Altidore, preseason punt gone wrong 😛

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke? Sturridge?

  6. Mak_Gold
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Mignolet,
      Vidic, Koscielny, Coleman,
      Walcott, Lampard, Hernández, Redmond,
      RVP, Benteke, Giroud.

      4.0, Collins, Chester, Brady. (£0.2m ITB)

      A) Hernández -> Moses for free

      B) RVP -> Rooney, Hernández -> Michu for -4.

      Which option?

    • Demel
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Stuck on this decision. Who to pick...

      a) Toure - (could get a 1 pointer again but better fixture)
      b) Collins - (good fixture but not quite as good as Toure - nailed on)

    • Skorge88
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Victor Moses...

      Discuss

      1. GoonerByron
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        In for Coutinho for me at the recommendation of a load of people here. Was also very impressed with him myself in Monday's game.. Looked sharp.

      2. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Looked boss against Swans on monday, i think he`s a great option now especially since Coutinho is out injured. Great fixtures, team on form, Rodgers utilizing his strengths.

    • DanwiseTheBrave
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Ok, excuse my lack of bench but otherwise my team is looking ok I think.

      Just the question of whether to start Kim or Chester?

      Mig
      Toure, Zab, Coleman, Chester
      Mirallas, Michu, Walcott(c)
      RVP, Giroud, Lambert

      Subs: Boruc, Kim, Thomas, Brayford

    • FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Play ... Murner or Chester?

      1. leovesole
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Murner

    • Timbomars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      So is Hernandez 100% crocked for this weekend? No chance he'll be fit?

    • Mojo Rojo
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Who do you fancy when fully-fit?
      A) Hernandez and Soldado
      or
      B) Whittingham/Barkley and Rooney

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        B with Whit

        1. Demel
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 7 months ago

          This

    • mr messi
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      So with Gibson back Barkley could lose his place, right?

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        No. He could, but he won`t. It`ll be Barry or Gibson.

        1. mr messi
          • 15 Years
          12 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks, contemplating Barkley out for Moses or Ramsey.

          1. TeamSteam
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            12 years, 7 months ago

            I wouldn`t. Barkley is playing in the hole still, and he`s doing pretty well. You could always downgrade someone else for Moses/Ramsey, but i personally see Ramsey getting pulled back to CDM once Santi gets fit. Although i dont know, as little as i rate him he`s actually done really well so far this season.

            1. mr messi
              • 15 Years
              12 years, 7 months ago

              My other option is to downgrade Mirallas but I've stuck with him for this long I just knw he'll start scoring as soon as I get rid!

    • asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke or Ben Arfa as Captain this week?
      I am not convinced Arsenal will score big against Stoke this week, and I am waiting for Tottenham (Soldado, Erikson) to gel a bit better.

      1. Texas Pete
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Wavering but on Tekkers at the mo.

    • Ian Davis
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Which 2 to get in out of these 4?:

      A) Ben Arfa
      B) Michu
      C) Eriksen
      D) Moses

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Michu and Eriksen

      2. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        I think it`s too soon for Eriksen, but no guts no glory! I heard he looked sharpish at the weekend. HBA and Moses are in my team, so i`m biased i guess.

    • meule
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Currently on wildcard and have to pick 2 between Nastasic, Coleman, Mertesacker.
      Thoughts ?

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Nastasic is the one you leave out.

    • Zombie
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      After contemplating among Tekkers, Soldado, HBA & Giroud..finally - Michu(C) - done

      If it backfires, I can blame on the chicken pox which got me last days 😀

    • FiveStar
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure what I should do with my FT this week. Team is...
      Mig (Daniels)
      Walker, Vidic, Kos (Wisdom), (Collins)
      Walcott (c), Hazard, Brady, Redmond (JWP)
      RVP, Tekkers, Giroud

      Thinking of getting rid of Wisdom, will he be dropped for the next pool game?
      If not might just hold the FT

      1. Demel
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        I would hold the transfer. That midfield 3 doesn't look good at all. I would save the transfer and downgrade Hazard and upgrade JWP next week.

        Your midfield could then look like this -

        Walcott - Ben Arfa - Moses - Brady/Redmond

        1. FiveStar
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah good shout, do you think its a good idea to play 4-3-3 for this week?
          with Collins starting over Brady?

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Awful midfield. If you are to have such expensive defenders AND RVP then it is no surprise.
        Brady or Redmond needs upgrading at some point. Look at Moses, Eriksen or HBA

      3. Demel
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        I would go in 4-3-3 this week.

        Migs
        Walker - Kos - Wisdom - Collins
        Walcott - Hazard - Redmond
        RVP - Tekkers - Giroud

        Brady - Vidic - JWP

      Morning!
      Need some advice for this mess...

      ( -4)

      a)
      Lescott - > Vidic
      Nani -> Moses

      b)
      Lescott -> Whittaker
      Nani -> Michu

      Current team:

      Boruc
      Lescott, Gabbidon, Coleman, Chester
      ABA, Lampard, Ozil, Nani
      RVP, Giroud, Soldado

      Tks in advance!

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 7 months ago

        I'd do Nani to Moses and try upgrade Gabbidon or Chester

    • Mak_Gold
        12 years, 7 months ago

        Repost since I got no response earlier.:

        Mignolet,
        Vidic, Koscielny, Coleman,
        Walcott, Lampard, Hernández, Redmond,
        RVP, Benteke, Giroud.

        4.0, Collins, Chester, Brady. (£0.2m ITB)

        A) Hernández -> Moses for free
        B) RVP -> Rooney, Hernández -> Michu for -4.

        Which option?

        1. mr messi

          A

          Don't know who to captain 🙁

          Walcott, Ben Arfa, Soldado, Giroud, Benteke, (Mirallas :D) are all options for me.

          Please help me to choose one from this lot. Thanks in advance!

            Think about who you think will win the contest and by how much. Then think about who in the respective sides will score or not score. That should give you your answer.

          Moses in for Hernandez for -8 or wait till next week?

            Moses would need a goal to break you even, wait I'd say.

              He does not, he has to get 4 more points than Hernandez during the time you would have had Hernandez in your game instead. It's a misconception that a player you transfer in for a hit has to get 4 points more in the next gameweek to break even. If Hernandez will get 0 and 0 points for the next two gameweeks and moses 2 and 3 then you have already gained +1 point thanks to the transfer.

          Which would people choose:

          A: Rooney Suarez Lukaku
          B: Sturridge Giroud Benteke

          ??

            B

            A for the differential value if you're chasing, if leading stay safe with B

          After captain scores of 16,10,4,4 so far this season, I could really do with getting my choice right this week..

          Who to captain out of Walcott, Giroud, Aguero, Sturridge, HBA?

            12 years, 7 months ago

            tell me who you are thinking of captaining out of that lot and I will try to avoid that one

              • 14 Years
              12 years, 7 months ago

              .. 😀

              Walcott is (c) at the moment!

            Which defence don't you think will do a good job this GW? That might help your decision.

            1. GoonerByron
              • 14 Years
              12 years, 7 months ago

              Out of all of those, Hull.. But could I really captain HBA? 🙂

              Can see all the others being very close.. Southampton, Stoke and Man Utd could all make it very difficult for the Arsenal, Southampton and Liverpool.

          4. Rafabio
            • 13 Years
            12 years, 7 months ago

            Giroud, Wally, Sturridge, HBA, Aguero in that order for me.

          Weekend is almost upon us and think I'm getting somewhere with my wildcard team

          Would appreciate any feedback though

          Mignolet / Lewis

          Ivanovic / Coleman / Dawson / Shaw / Chester

          Walcott / Yaya / HBA / Ramsey / Brady

          Rooney / Sturridge / Soldado

            no michu is a blunder for me

            1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
              • 15 Years
              12 years, 7 months ago

              I think the bigger blunder is dawson and double up of walcott and ramsey

              1. penguinsofdeath
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                12 years, 7 months ago

                Who do you think I should swap them with mate?

                Dawson looked like a good option because he is cheap(ish) and they are staying tight at the back. Plus he's captain so surely going to be involved?

                  • 15 Years
                  12 years, 7 months ago

                  Kaboul should be back soon surely. Good for next couple of weeks however not a long term pick

              Big fan of Michu but Europa League commitments worry me - do they not you?
