And we’re back in the game. Last week’s strike by David Silva and the shut-out for Manuel Pellegrini’s men gave us some much-needed winnings as we look to claw back a season deficit from our friends at Paddy Power. Boosted by some profit, we clutch another tenner and appear at Paddy’s door to inspect what this weekend’s Scout Pick inspired markets can offer.

Before we get going with those, however, a reminder that Paddy Power are also offering those yet to register an account some enhanced odds on Sunday’s big match. You can get 5/1 on a United home win against Arsenal in the tea-time kick-off. Bets are limited to £10 and are open to those without a Paddy Power account.

Returning to Saturday’s matches and our first Scout Pick market finds us looking towards Stamford Bridge where Oscar and his Chelsea team-mates will host West Brom. Steve Clarke arrives to face his old master having suffered a damaging 4-1 drubbing at Anfield last time out. Chelsea, meanwhile, recovered from their own setback at Newcastle with a fine 3-0 Champions League win over Schalke. Oscar has netted three league goals in front of his own fans and carries a big threat from the Chelsea midfield for the Baggies to counter. Paddy have odds of 5/1 on a Oscar goal with a Chelsea clean sheet and we will snap that up as our bet of the week for £4 of our stake.

It was Luis Suarez that put West Brom to the sword last weekend – his classy first half hat-trick banishing the Baggies to defeat, whilst putting the Uruguayan in the driving seat for the Fantasy armband ahead of this weekend. Suarez will face a forlorn Fulham defence with thousands backing him for further goals. Paddy certainly fancy his chances but are still dangling odds of 5/1 on Suarez scoring two or more goals with a Liverpool clean sheet. That’s enough to tempt £3 of our remaining funds.

That leaves us with just £3 to wager on Adam Lallana’s prospects at home to Hull City. The Saints skipper has been in inspired form this term and, fresh from an senior England call-up, should go into the Tigers clash full of confidence. Paddy have a Lallana goal with a Southampton clean sheet against Hull at 13/2 – sealing the fate of our final few quid.

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.

    Have 2FT- any suggestions?

    Boruc, Davies
    Toure, zaba, mert, lovren, baker
    Yaya, Ramsey, Oscar, siggy, Brady
    Giroud, Rooney, sturridge
    £0.3m

    Need to get rid of Davies at some point but thinking:
    Giroud --> aguero
    Siggy--> £4.4m mid?

    Good moves?

          Ravel nailed. Ramsely/Ozil nailed. Leaves Januzai, who, while he has been starting, could be rested. Moyes has always taken a slightly defensive mindset opting for tougher players in the big home games - of course now he's at Trafford this could backfire.

    Feeling pretty happy about my line up today
    Migs
    Ivanovic - Fonte - Vertonghen
    Oscar - Ramsey - Barkley - Lallana
    Sturridge (C) - Lukaku - Aguero

    At the moment I have Coleman first sub, I'd like to slot him in, but I'm struggling with who to pull out.
    I can see Liverpool, Everton, City and Chelsea cracking a few in today, so don't want to lose attackers there. Arsenal have the toughest fixture but there's no way I can see Utd keeping a clean sheet, I guess I'd expect Southampton vs Hull to be a tight one, but can't quite bring myself to pull out Lallana.

    I find my transfer pattern a bit irrational.
    Typically, I have one or two transfer I'm considering, thinking about them for several days.
    Sometimes I execute my plan, sometimes I don't.

    In the latter case, it either ends with saving it, or doing something rushed (or forced).
    Yesterday i got the Silva news, and made two rushed transfers.

    The first transfer was Silva -> Coutinho. That is a sound transfer I think.
    The other one was Brady -> Januzaj, for a hit 😯

    Looking back now, I just don't know what I was thinking with that second transfer.
    I should have just played Jedinak, and benched Brady until he is fully fit.
    Jedinak should be a clear favorite against Januzaj -4.

    Anyone else have a problem with adding an extra transfer while altering your squad?
    This seems to happen a lot of the time for me, causing unnecessary hits.

      Love these weeks when my team has no injuries or major issues. I be keeping myself a extra transfer for after the international break.

        Your expecting an Everton clean sheet do? I'd play Januzaj instead

        Less goal shouts on here. Pity for you all over there. Get all the games in Oz.

          When I lived in South Africa it was the same. I couldn't believe it when I moved to the UK and the national game wasn't shown on the national broadcasters. What a joke.
