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.

    Which choice is best for this lot?

    Etheridge / Mignolet
    Coleman / Wilson / Turner / Clyne / Dawson
    Brady / Barkley / Michu / Özil / Amalfitano
    Suárez / Lukaku / Agüero

    1 FT, £3.1m in the bank.

    a) Leave it

      Your defence is kind of light as it is though and Dawson is fantastic value in a very stingy defence. Regardless of fixtures he looks nailed on and a season keeper. I'd sooner trade Coleman.

      I've had this thought, but it's too risky really.

    R. Morrison or Arnautovic as my 4th playing midfielder today?

    Who do you want long term, Rooney or Aguero?

        Yeah, that would be the first stop actually 🙂
        It's pretty clear Rooney / Aguero toss a coin this weekend but after this until January, Aguero should be the one. Also City are free scoring where as United are not (cue a United away 5-0 win!)

      Thats easy, Aguero. Rooney scoring well, but his stats don't look too good in comparison.

      Personally I've gone Clyne over Turner and Morrison over Siggy,

        If Tot do score it will be Siggy. Seems to be the only finisher in their side.

    I have a back four to choose from looking like this: Dawson, Fonte, Vidic and Baker. Was thinking playing Baker and benching Dawson. Does that make sense?
