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.

    Now then chaps, who's your captain pick this week?

    Currently on RVP but know I'm going to switch last minute to Barfa or Wally.

    1. WorldCupDanB
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Wally for me just have a feeling

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Wally I think

      I also have RVP and Barfa. RVP will be VC.

    3. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Giroud but tempted by Bentekkers and Wally. Barfa's just too risky.

    4. Left Peg
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Part of me wants to captain Walcott because he is 'due' and it is a decent home fixture. Then again, I don't think that's enough to justify it. I'm edging towards Benteke.

    5. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott

    6. Tiote on Peyote
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Wally

    7. Saint & Reevesy
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      I have bentekers too, I think Norwich will be tough at home. I love Wally but last week was soooooo frustrating. HBA seems confident and it's a great fixture...... But you get burnt wen you don't back RVP. Hmmmmm

      1. rm9
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Most of the games will be tough for Villa this season (too), it didn't stop Benteke from scoring before though.

    8. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Mirallas ftw

    9. Demel
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott

  2. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 6 months ago

    Here's an argument on the new BPS system and case for big hitting defenders:

    Did you know there have only been 78 goals in the Premier League this season, an average of 1.95 per game, which is the lowest in Premier League history after four completed rounds of matches?

    In contrast, there have been 3.29 goals per game in the Bundesliga, 3.05 in La Liga and 3.03 in Serie A. Is it too early in the season to speculate on the reasons for this or do you think the Premier League is no longer the most exciting league in the world?

    Is it a big enough time scale? Is 4-3-3 or even 5-2-3 the best new formations?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Like everyone else you've missed the point, it's not about more clean sheets than last year, its about more points when you get a clean sheet. Was 6 now its between 7-8. For big defs who are likely to get 16-17 clean sheets a season (no increase) they will now get about 20 points more. That equates to about 1.0 million in value.

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        where have i mentioned clean sheets? very simply less goals = getting big defenders is more important, thats my point

    Breaking news;

    Boring James Milner ‏@BoringMilner 2m
    Manuel Pellegrini has just had a new office chair delivered.

      Ha ha ha

    2. Podge

      Bahaha 😀

  4. Magerost
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Take a hit for Sturridge or Giroud?
      Lucky one who is getting fired is Lambert!

      1. LOCO ABREU
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        giroud

      2. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Giroud!

      3. Dago
        • 16 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Doing Lambert to Giroud for a hit myself.

    • Blue Lion
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Baines against a toothless hammers with lukaku in the everton squad, Soldado against a reselient Cardiff away or HbA against a injury ravaged Hull for captain.?

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Soldado

      2. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        From those choices, has to be Souldaddy.

    • rozzo
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      mikel arteta is apparently fit for the stoke game, was going to bring in ramsey this week, will arteta start do you think and will this alter ramseys game time?

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        No and no.

    • ConBry
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      I've got Sturridge, Tekkers and Giroud up front... who shall i captain?! :/

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Sturridge for me, Southampton looked dire last week

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 6 months ago

          But not defensively. And that's where it counts. 😛

          1. Sánchez
            • 13 Years
            12 years, 6 months ago

            This is true. Defence seems to be doing its job.

          2. Chris_White
            • 14 Years
            12 years, 6 months ago

            Defensively too, if you ask me. They just played a side who are clueless going forward.

            1. Lucy.
              • 12 Years
              12 years, 6 months ago

              So how can you judge?

        2. ConBry
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 6 months ago

          Oh yeah! Good point they were awful. Also think Stoke have been pretty resiliant recently

          1. Lucy.
            • 12 Years
            12 years, 6 months ago

            To be fair, the entire match was dire from start to finish, West Ham played their part.

            Stoke have conceded the most shots in the area, away from home, of any side in the league, including the newly promoted teams.

            1. ConBry
              • 12 Years
              12 years, 6 months ago

              Oh really? That's interesting hmm.... Giroud has just been on fire recently as well. Could hardly be a bad captaincy shout

              1. Woy of the Wovers
                • 15 Years
                12 years, 6 months ago

                Begovic makes lots of saves.

          2. Saint & Reevesy
            • 13 Years
            12 years, 6 months ago

            You guys are drunk.

    • Dago
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Soldado brace to mess up peoples Soldado > Rooney plan next week..

      1. The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        It wouldn't exactly mess it up though

        1. Dago
          • 16 Years
          12 years, 6 months ago

          Well it would get you thinking Benteke>Rooney if it wasnt for the Hull game, who u captaining jack?

          1. The Finnisher
            • 14 Years
            12 years, 6 months ago

            Not after Benteke's hat-trick 🙂

            Currently thinking Walcott, with a side of Benteke and Sturridge

            1. Dago
              • 16 Years
              12 years, 6 months ago

              Im bringing Giroud in for a hit so im gonna have to give the big man the arm band too. Tempted by Tekkers but dont wanna spend the weekend dissapointed if he fails.

              1. The Finnisher
                • 14 Years
                12 years, 6 months ago

                Even though it shouldn't it definitely effects my thoughts too. Walcott playing the next day too haha.

      2. LOCO ABREU
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        time to score 1 at least i reckon

    • Tingate
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Basically a RMT for this GW:

      Vorm
      Coleman - Zabaleta - Collins
      Moses - Michu - Eriksen - Walcott
      Benteke - Soldado - Giroud

      Boruc - Whittingham - Riether - Chester

      Is it bad that i've got both Collins and Coleman in?

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Not really, you'll just be hoping for a 0-0 draw and that's definitely not out of the question.

      2. Stuhoss
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        I transferred Lescott for Distin, now have two Everton defs and West Ham Def and gk..... PLEASE 0-0!!pretty likely the way things have been going

    • BT31 - WE ARE ALL TINKERMEN…
      • 14 Years

      Any changes? Keep transfer?

      Will Ozil rise tonight?

      Hoping to gain 0.1 then sell him again on WC

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        See below, but I would say 75%, as there is a large majority of people that will vote tonight.

      2. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        So will the players you want to buy. Might gain on Michu.

      3. Goatboy
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        He went up around 25% yesterday. Hes 4th most transferred in and at 70% now so I think he will.

        I'm also on WC and need him to rise.

    • Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Price Risers tonight:
      Enrique
      Migs
      Moses
      -----
      Likely risers, (lots of transfers tonight):
      Giroud
      Ozil
      Sigurdsson
      -----
      Outside chancers:
      Studge

        It's rather annoying - planning a Moses transfer depending on Lamps' performance.

    • alex5
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Tricky one ..

      A. Sturridge + 6m defender
      B. Suarez + Collins

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Studge + 6m

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          12 years, 6 months ago

          This.

      2. Deulo10
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Sturridge + 6m

      3. Alberto Tomba
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        B. I think Suarez will be ridiculously pumped for his return.

      Manuel Pellegrini says David Silva and Micah Richards have 'worked normally' ahead of Manchester derby on Sunday.

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Richards will probably slip in the shower tonight and be out for another fortnight

      2. Evs

          1. Alberto Tomba

              1. Alberto Tomba
                • 13 Years
                12 years, 6 months ago

                Uh oh, maybe not! Sounds like Shelvey

    • blokeman

      12 years, 6 months ago

      G'day, I'm looking for some guidance here...

      My main ML rival (over the last few seasons) has Wildcarded early, as usual.

      Normally I hold off until the FA Cup doubles in the back end of the season, however, after a disastrous start, I reckon I need to do something quick smart.

      Should I WC like my nemesis or try and hold out by taking hits instead (Say 3 or 4 over the next few weeks)??

      My team btw is as follows:

      Cech Boruc
      Baines Hangeland Ward Chester MTurner
      Walcott Lampard Snodgrass Jarvis Adam
      RVP Benteke Chamakh

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Woaaaah. WC! But you should really WC at the beginning of GWs so you can jump on risers.

      2. Saint & Reevesy
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        You need to wildcard, do it it's liberating 🙂

      Gael Clichy only started training today and is a doubt for Sunday.

    • Professor Abel X

      • 13 Years
      12 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone captaining Benteke? I'm guessing the crowd will be fired up (Lambert), so this energy could affect the Norwich players?

      1. Well you know, Triffic

            Thanks guys. On the basis of this, who to (c)?
            Rooney (city)
            Giroud/Wally (STO)
            Soldado (car)
            Michu (palace)

            1. Saint & Reevesy
              • 13 Years
              12 years, 6 months ago

              Giroud to play safe.

              Michu to take a calculated differential punt.

              I'd go Michu

      Choose 3 Defenders to play infront of Mignolet, Baring in mind I have Mirallas and Benteke attacking against some of these:

      Collins (EVE), Shaw (liv), Coleman (whu), Turner (AVL), Lescott (MUN)

      1. Well you know, Triffic

          Zaba is likely to start, Lescott isn't

        Very similar to mine, except your defence is much better, I'm almost 2m away from affording that! What's your team value?

        Near identical team to mine, apart from I've got Moses instead of Ramsey. It will probably all change by 11.30 tomorrow.

          ...and a cheaper 5th mid.

      On my WC

      1) Benteke or Rooney?

      2) Is buying Mirallas a madness now?

      3) Have Ramsey @ 5.6m. Looking at better prospect such as Mirallas/Moses. Is Ramsey for real OR just flash in the pan? Worth losing Arsenal defence spot for him?

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Rooney
        Yes
        Ramsey looks good for a while until some players come back, until he'll get forward a lot with Flamini covering.

      2. rm9
        • 15 Years

        Rooney looks in form, decent fixtures coming up

        Better be 1 week late on Mirallas than 4 weeks early.

        Keep Ramsey for now, he won't be dropped in this form. I wouldn't get an Arsenal defender anyway, they seem like to concede quite often this season.

    • Shifty

      JWP Brady Hernandez doubts for me. Left with Lampard Walcott in midfield. Makes sense to ditch RVP for Rooney and upgrade Hernandez to HBA?

      Or just do Hernandez > Moses and decide on RVP/Rooney next week.

      1. rm9
        • 15 Years
        12 years, 6 months ago

        Do Hernandez to Moses, wait with RVP.

          cheers, that's what my gut is telling me. but head says go for Rooney and HBA just cos everyone else here is talking up HBA...

      Why cant mourinho just say... Silva is fit and will play vs Manu. Dont like this "worked normally" stuff especially when richards is in the same sentence

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years

        Because he's not the City manager

        Maybe late fitness test

        I've got rid of him. Made my 0.1M on a WC and investing it elsewhere. His fixtures go downhill after this week.

      When Suarez is back next gw, is moses left wing pos. at risk? Sturridge on the left?
