Somehow, Michu came out of Swansea’s 4-0 win over Sunderland last weekend without a goal – frustrating his Fantasy owners and depriving us of some much-needed “flutter” winnings. Our deficit with Paddy Power opens up, then, although we’re no less determined to see if this week’s Scout Pick inspired markets can swing things our way.

Firstly, a reminder that, if you’re likely to be hunkering down for El Clasico this evening, you might want to take Paddy up on their enhanced odds of 7/1 on both teams scoring in a Barcelona win. If you’ve yet to register an account with Paddy, you can take advantage of these odds right here.

Back to our very own Scout Pick markets and we begin with the shortest set of odds on offer this week. Andros Townsend’s hot form has found him leap a cast of Spurs midfield assests to take his place in our Watchlist rankings and weekend Scout Picks. As we revealed in last night’s Paddy article, Townsend is amongst the most favoured midfielders to score this weekend when he faces up to Hull City at the Lane. With the Tigers missing key players, notably Allan McGregor in goal, Paddy’s odds of 7/2 on a Townsend goal with a Spurs clean sheet look to have some value. We’ll wager £5 of our tenner stake on the shot-happy winger.

Adam Lallana is another midfielder in the form of his life – the 6.2 Fantasy Premier League prospect has returned goals or assists in his last four league starts and with Fulham at St Mary’s on Saturday, he’s well fancied to maintain that run. Paddy are dangling odds of 6/1 on a Lallana goal with a sixth clean sheet of the season for the Saints and we’ll take them up on that to the tune of another £3.

That leaves us with just £2 of our stake money remaining which will toss the way of a player who just missed out on the Scout Picks this weekend. Slotting into the “Differentials”, Norwich City’s Robert Snodgrass has endured a testing season so far but undoubtedly has the talent to reward those who take a punt on the mid-priced Scot. With set-pieces, including spot-kicks, possibly in his locker, Paddy have Snodgrass out at 8/1 to score with a Norwich clean sheet against Cardiff at Carrow Road.

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.

    Eriksen, Barkley, Michu, Ozil
    Lukaku, Sturridge (c), Giroud
    Bench order: Coleman, Brady, Wilson

    Have I got this right? If Eriksen plays I'd have to have him in, but some concerns about it.

        The armband is a tricky one, you could play it safe and give it to Giroud. But if your trying to catch up, well then Ozil and Mich looks like good options.

        I also got Giroud and Suarez, but I'm staying away from Suarez, I have a bad feeling about WBA.
