For this week’s series of Flutter bets, we call on the Scout Picks midfield for our three protagonists, as we look to take Paddy Power to cleaners via the fortunes of Man City, West Brom and the Hammers.

Before we assess this week’s markets, a reminder that Paddy Power are also offering those yet to register an account some enhanced odds on the days early kick-off. You can get 4/1 on a Fernando Torres anytime goal against Newcastle if you sign up to Paddy Power today. Bets are limited to £10 and are open to those without a Paddy Power account.

Back to the three o’clock kick-offs and, if you’re going into the Gameweek without Man City assets, it’s fair to say you’re likely to be fidgeting uncomfortably in a few hours time. Manuel Pellegrini’s side face a Norwich outfit that has conceded eight goals in their last pair of away games in all competitions and with City already installed as the league’s top scorers, we’re expecting the Canaries to have their wings well and truly clipped. Our flutter market centres on playmaker David Silva, with Paddy offering odds of 16/5 on a Silva goal with a City clean sheet against Chris Hughton’s side. We’ll take them up on that to the tune of £4 of our stake money.

West Brom are another side well fancied to find goals. They face a Crystal Palace outfit that showed spirit in their defeat to Arsenal but lacked a cutting edge and were eventually overwhelmed by the Gunners’ passing game. Meanwhile, the Baggies were unbeaten in five prior to the mauling at the hands of Luis Suarez last time out and, in Stephane Sessegnon they have a potential match winner showing some promising form. Odds of 4/1 on a Sessegnon goal with a West Brom clean sheet against Palace look favourable enough for us to risk another £4 of our weekly tenner.

That leaves just £2 for our final market, as Ravel Morisson edges into the Scout Pick reckoning, finding himself on the bench for the Upton Park clash with Villa. While the Hammers have struggled to find a goal touch on the road, they’re always a formidable foe at the Boleyn Ground and with odds of 9/1 on a Morisson goal with a Hammers clean sheet against Villa, we’re more than happy to stump up the change in our pocket to back his emerging talent and credentials as a Gameweek 10 prospect.

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.

      the 3 of them are a bit of a turning in circles type of transfers
      collins and rat will most likely give the same outcome week in week out
      sturr and suarez are both useful and their price difference is very fair for what you get in return
      bringing aguero for 1 week and consuming 2 weeks along the way is a waste
      gotta say though, paulinho needs to go

      I wouldn't buy Aguero for a week, so not a fan of c) at all.
      b) maybe as long as its for free. Studge > Suaz could well backfire in the short term, but long term we all know that Suaz will prevail. So I did it this week (as well as ditching RVP 😕 ). Oh and Brady over Janz

          Just think long term Janz will annoy you, missing games and making 1pt cameos. I might be wrong of course but Moyes is a cautious guy and I can see him breaking Janz in slowly with Kags/Wellbeck/Young vying for the spot on the left.

          Brady (when fit) is nailed on every game, on all set pieces and pens and has scored well so far (I will buy him back soon)

        I guess I have to captain him really, for when ever that comeback game comes and he just goes mental.

    BIG DELIMMA:
    Only have 5 TRANSFERS LEFT in my Draft-style, Mini-league to take me to New Years. My keepers are HART and MYHILL.

    A) Trade HART out for VORM immediately, before Hart starts decreasing even more in price, and VORM starts increasing.

    B) Save the extremely valuable transfer, and try and ride this whole "HART being benched" problem out, with MYHILL as my only cover.

    *Our rules mean I will not get any more transfers until the new year, period. We don't play with hits. My two opponents have 8 transfers left, and 0 transfers left, respectively.*

        As in keep Hart, and replace Myhill with Vorm? That sounds like an excellent tactic, but I don't think the funds are there... I'd have to use some transfers to free up 1.0 mill, and that might do more harm than good. 🙁
        Sidenote: We each have two GK's. One bench, one starter.

    Start HBA or Bakley? Think Barkley has a bigger chance of being rested.
    Also; put Wilson and Quinn on bech to avoid a 1 pointer each, even though they have tasty fixtures?

    On a scale of 1-10 (1 being stupid, 10 being genius) how crazy is it to captain Michu? I am worryingly feeling like he is due a decent game.

      It's not crazy, but it is punty given his form so far.

      I am on hazard - feels a bit crazy too.

    he is the WORST kind of defender to have as he probably won't start but will def come on as a sub

      Lallana is a good player - not worth a hit this week, he has a better fixture next week followed by a nasty run.
