We’re feeling flush this weekend after Adam Lallana and the Southampton defence helped us get one over Paddy last time around. We turn to the Scout Picks for inspiration, where Arsenal, City and Chelsea all supply us with a player apiece as we look to end the Gameweek in profit.

Our first stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal prepare for the visit of struggling Fulham tomorrow afternoon. With Paddy offering 3/1 on Mesut Ozil to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re lumping £3 on this one – the Gunners have conceded once in their last six at home, whilst the German has netted in two of the last three in front of his own supporters.

Next up, we stop by the Etihad for City’s home clash with Cardiff. This time around Paddy is offering 9/2 on Alvaro Negredo to score two or more goals and the hosts to keep a clean sheet – a scenario that happened as recently as Wednesday evening. We make this our bet of the week and throw £4 Paddy’s way for this one, with the Bluebirds looking there for the taking.

Our final few quid is saved for Sunday afternoon’s Stamford Bridge showdown between Chelsea and United. Paddy are again in very generous mood and offer 15/2 on Eden Hazard to score and Jose Mourinho’s side to keep a clean sheet – the Belgian has notched in three of the last four, whilst his defensive team-mates have conceded once in the last five league matches. We empty our wallet of the remaining £3 and back the Belgian to add to David Moyes’ woes.

      Ward/ JRod seems the winner. I was thinking Bardsley/JRod but was wavering towards Ward, so will make the change.

      Looks very nice.
      Coleman is fine if you bought low; if you brought him in on the WC, I think you've over-paid
      Kolarov will frustrate IMO
      Like the MIDs, although I'd take Eriksen over Cabaye

          I think neither are, but will keep Coleman coz I had him since GW1 - 5.0 .

          If WC with neither, might skip both. They have attacking potential but will blank offensively more often than not, will be frustrating to have such expensive flops in squad. Cheaper alternatives available if just looking at defensive options.

          The cash can be used further up.

      I probably will. A hit in GW24 if needed.

        Coming GW has 10 days vs 4 days for next GW. More time/opportunity for transfers/injuries/change/profit.

      Studge to Giroud for Arsenal attacking cover - doubt you'll be playing Gnarby often.

    Ageuro won't start today and Negredo a better option now from a value perspective.
