Paddy Power have rolled out yet another enhanced odds special for Fantasy Football Scout visitors ahead of today’s big Stamford Bridge encounter. If you’ve yet to register an account with Paddy, you can take advantage of odds of 4/1 on a Chelsea win in today’s clash with City at 4pm.

Regular punters are being offered 7/5 on a Blues win so these odds are a great opportunity to possibly bag some winnings – just ask those who benefited from last night’s El Clasico special. Click here to get involved.

If you’ve already got an account with Paddy and still fancy a flutter on today’s big game, you can take advantage of a money back special on offer. Paddy are offering refunds on all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast bets should Sergio Aguero score the last goal in the match.

To clarify, this Chelsea enhanced odds special is limited to a £10 stake, is open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified.

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

    Do you see a better transfer than Michu -> Silva from this lot?
    1.0 in the bank.

    Walker - Chico - Coleman - Gabbidon - Chester

        But, if i do, i can get Aguero for Lukaku.

      One word: fixtures.

      Just gone:

      Southampton - best defence in the league so far.
      Sunderland - you could win 4-0 100 times and 99 of them Michu would have scored. A bizarre aberration, safely ignored.
      West Ham - a typical stubborn defensive display. But Swansea seem to struggle to break down teams at home because they typically are faced with 10 defenders and a keeper.

      Coming up:

      Cardiff away - not as robust as you think. There for the taking especially with Swansea's style.
      Stoke home - not the same defence as before. Vulnerable to Michu especially.
      Fulham away - even manager less Sunderland scored. Swans will be fine.

    So is Ashley Williams fully fit now and back nailed on?

    I know he played today but so did Ben Davies before I got him! Just being extra cautious!!

      He's nailed if he's fit. Beware the recurring injury.

    Doubling up with Silva and Aguero next week onwards.
    Also Ming + Kolo the week after that.
    High risk high reward!

    Madness??

    Back 3 for next weeks are:

    Vidic
    Barnes
    Zaba

    With Clyne and Mertesacker to come in if needed.

    1ft. Worth changing it?

      Don't know, but I'd play Clyne over Vidic regardless!

    Sturridge and Giroud are the 8th and 3rd most transferred out players today, in spite of being the 1st and 4th top point scorers overall.

    That's some next level fickleness going on right there!

      Giroud is fine to go...not explosive, and the midfielders around him hoover the points. Sturridge out on the other hand is dumb imo.

      I think you can make a logical argument for both those moves, irrespective of their points totals to date.

      Giroud has some tough fixtures, Sturridge harder to justify!

    Would you change anything with this team before the next GW? Decent enough score this week (74) but a bit disappointed my whole midfield blanked.. Wondering it's worth using my FT to get rid of 1 of my dead bench players?

    Boruc
    Kos Toure Chico
    Ozil Oscar Michu Morrison
    Rooney Sturridge Giroud

    Subs - Ward Williams Chester
