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.

    Sorry to do the old "who to captain thing" but I really am struggling. Please help me 😀

    Silva - Plumb fixture but not explosive and I couldn't handle 3-0 City with Silva assisting the assister 3 times

    Michu - no form but could be a high scoring derby

    Ozil - good home form but could be a tight game

    Suarez - great form but away from home in a tough fixture

    Lukaku - not an obvious choice given Spurs' defensive record but Lukaku gave Spurs all sorts of trouble last season and he could really make Dawson look silly.

    I am actually erring towards Lukaku.

      Silva. You have to expect that City will want to destroy them, and Norwich are starting to look pretty shaky. Silva may not be too explosive, but he should get in amongst the points.

      I don't like Michu or Ozil as a captaincy options at the moment. Too all or nothing (or just nothing as is the case with MIchu atm!)

      Not Lukaku. Spurs have looked solid in defence and I imagine that game will be a low scoring one.

      Suarez wouldn't be an error, but we don't know how Liverpool will do against a team as good as Arsenal's.

        Have got my eye on Walcott, Benteke and Ramsey. If Ramsey keeps this up I just cant keep ignoring him. Trouble is, if I have him and he does well it still wont help me sail up the ranks since half the game have him! Was unsure of Ozil until 2 weeks ago, but Walcott looks appealing when fit.

      A] I can afford Collins out for CLYNE (but have Boruc as keeper), any better options for 4.6?

        Rat from WHU is a good bet at 4.5 but I'm not sure it's worth a transfer as your three defenders are ok this week.

        If you want a new mid I'd say Barkley or Routledge needs to make way. Maybe worth a punt on Sess as his fixtures over the next few look good. If you can't afford that upgrade then Brady when fit will be good. That would mean a save transfer.

          Yeah I agree I think - Barkley seems to have lost a few minutes last week or two, but Routledge is probably one to go as I think Barkley will get back into 90mins team.

          Sess too much only got 0.2 bank - tbh I dont want Sess either I think it is empty hype and was burned by him last season (as I was with Routledge!!)

          Maybe I will sit tight... thanks ILB

      Please give your wise thoughts on my Team, linked.
      Would you ditch Vidic or Mert this week or have 2 FT next week.
      Thanks in advance.

      Does the new wording of the captain's poll change how which player you select?

      Pretty sure it used to say, "who are you captaining this week?"

      Now it says, "who is the best captaincy choice...?"

      Do you still select who you are captaining, or do you now select who you think is the best option whether you are captaining him or not?

      I'm sure that sometimes those are the same, but this week for example, I'm captaining Rooney, but I selected Aguero for the poll...

      Hardly a pressing issue... 😀
