Paddy Power Special – 3/1 on Man City to Beat Arsenal at the Etihad

Once again, Paddy Power have laid on another enhanced market for the weekend’s matches – this time around, our bookmaker friends are dangling odds of 3/1 for Man City to beat Arsenal at the Etihad in tomorrow’s lunchtime kick-off for those yet to register an account with them.

Bearing in mind that the regular odds of Manuel Pellegrini’s men winning for their eighth match in a row in front of their own fans is 4/5, this looks a standout deal for those yet to sign up with Paddy. If you don’t have an account and fancy a piece of the action, click here to join up and take advantage of the offer.

If you’ve already got an account with Paddy, you can still benefit from the Money Back Special on the Etihad match. Paddy are offering refunds on all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast bets should Olivier Giroud score anytime during the game.

To clarify, the City enhanced odds specials are limited to a £10 stake, are open to new Paddy Power customers only and subject to the terms and conditions specified.

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.

    Argh! Bench Bady, Nasri or Ramsey? They all seem to have similar potential to me.

      should be safe even when Smalling recovers from his knock. We've missed Rafael's crosses hugely this season.

    Unsure if any of you guys are on here who I had spoken to about my final Chartered Accountancy exams earlier this year - but - I got my results today and passed 2, but failed 1 of them by 2% *Rolls eyes*

    Means i'll have to wait until August next year to qualify....also means I can focus on winning FPL this season 😛

        Thinking along the same lines, yeah. Curtis Davies seems the safest bet. Can afford him exactly with Clyne's sale too.

          I'm keeping sess 2 more weeks. He gets opportunities. Fer had a good few weeks but could be another misfiring mid priced MF you want rid of in a few weeks. If I chose one I would choose Fer but not sure it is worth the FT

    I will now rephrase my questioning to hope for genuine opinions...
    Here is why I do not want Lukaku. I will use the example of my striker Fletcher who virtually no one owns despite him having a proven track record of scoring ( idc so much about form, if you stick with em it comes, as long as theyve proven in the past).

    Lukaku is great, no doubt hes gonna get goals and score well. But everyone owns him. So imagine there is a great lovely cake. But when the cake comes, you have to divide it up so many times that you only get a very small bit, leaving you hungry for more. But you can't get any more, youhave to wait for next week and then you will get an even smaller slice. Eventually you will starve (never gain rank).

    Fletcher/Berbatov/Gouffran might not be as fantastic a cake (although you believe it is likely to be pretty dam good, you cant be as 100% sure as the lukaku cake, but your research sees it could be just as good, or at east very nearly as good.) Not only is his cake cheaper, but when you get this cake you get to have it all to yourself like a greedy pig, while the others watch and say 'ah i wish i could have had some of that cake' (Green arrows galore)

                    Only just bought Welbeck and Fletcher in. Fletcher because now hes fit and good fixtures. Welbeck because of RVP injury.

          Having cheaper strikers means you can differentiate by having expensive midfields. Most only have 1/2 big hitters in midfield. I have 5.

      Don't think that theory is a good one. Differentials that fail wreck your rank. Fletcher needs outscore Lukaku or at least match him to be any use. Most here don't see that happening.

        Its about gaining rank not purely about points. If lukaku scores well i wont gain anything. If fletcher does I will. And It's not like Fletcher is useless. He is someone that will score goals.

            Im not talking about eating shit Im talking about eating cake. You cant argue with the cake argument. You can argue that Fletcher is shit, but I disagree. The cake argument is about a player with similar potential just not scoring quite as well and ess followed. Not just getting any old shit just because they are not owned. Fletcher is one I personally think will do well but if you disagree with that example maybe you could replace Fletcher with, say, Remy, who seems to be a bit more in favour here.

              % wise it won't work out. It didn't even work out last week as Suarez outscored him.

              Because he hardly ever gets points. You need players that get the most points.

                But just because Paulinho was unlucky and has missed chances, had crazy saves, and blocks on the line, it doesnt mean he will be unlucky every match. On average he has 3 clear cut chances a game. Liverpool will open up and are bad defensivly away from home. Paulinho will have the confidence to put his chances away after scoring last match and I can see a brace. And when he does thats a big cake all to myself.

                  He's not clinical. His strike rate may improve but he's proving to not be worth the money compared to players who score more points. That is the point.

                      Bet you paid 8m for him. Regardless, there are at least 10 players in the 7m range that can and likely will.

                      I can't be bothered telling you who they are as you're so rude.

                        Ha you cant be bothered because you just realised you cant think of any... andI said UNDER 7m. Even at 7m all you can say is Ramsey, who is a whole million more and is wayyyy overperforming. Paulihno has basically the same stats they will score te same/Paulinho more when regression kicks in.

                        And you call me rude for having constructive argument. I think it is more rude of you to laugh at my initial statement and then tell me to pay for membership like I am a clown.

                        Ramsey was 5.5
                        Paulinho was 8

                        Ramsey has a lot of points, points you will never get.
                        If Paulinho starts showing some form for assists or goals, I will probably get him.

                        Overall you always lose because even though your lack of points shows you to be wrong, you think you're right.

                        'Ramsey has a lot of points, points you will never get'. What a pointless statement. In the first week would you say 'Whittaker got a lot of points.. points you can never get.. you should have got him' Its like in a poker game if you fold because you had a 7 2 and the flop was 772, anidiot says 'oo you shouldnt have folded' Your statement is the same logic.

Thats why im still in this and hopefully will be up there laughin at the end of the season. Don't give up just because Suarez leaves I know we have had a disagreement here but I think you are a better player than to leave just because of that, and I admit you have made good ponts you clearly know something about FPL yu will do well if you dont give up and stay to the end.

                        Personally I think the game is more complicated. You have to consider the moves of others like a game of chess. You cant just have a one strategy, you have to base your strategy on your opponents moves. This is the way I like to play anyway, more strategic and more fun imo. Good luck to us both.

                        Do u understand that just because Lukaku scored last week it doesnt mean he will score thisweek? and Just because Fletcher didntscore last week it doesnt mean he wont this week? And if Lukaku does score you have a tiny slice of cake (share points) but if fletcher does you get the whole cake to yourself. You must love sharing and I admire your morality but in this game you need to be greedy... not such a dificult argument to follow.
