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.

      Yep, I mentioned it as a possibility a couple of weeks ago for the easier home games, then Rodgers morphing of Gerrard into the defensive mid role made it more obvious again.

      –––– Gerrard – Henderson
      Sterling –––––––––– Coutinho
      ––– Sturridge –– Suarez

      has serious attacking potential.

              It may have been an error. (But I am checking)

              e.g. Big clumsy fingers hitting wrong option on iPad.

              If you unapprove something, I don't think you can re-publish it...

        Haven't a clue Acqua, didn't see it, hulk it or delete it so I can't explain it!

        As Evs says, we'll try to work it out...

      Really thinking about starting Terry over Ward? Not convinced about Palace vs Pullis' s old team? Thats my main issue. Any thoughts?

      Lads. There's still time for ye to send in yer membership applications for the Magnus Wolff Eikrem FF owners club. Places are limited but ye'll definitely regret not prebooking when he crashes in a 40 yard screamer at the Etihad today 😉

          Try it in the app rather than Safari browser YouTube? Have had similar probs on her indoors i-Pad. Or just search Eikrem in the YouTube app.

      Down to a decision between Cabaye, Lallana or Eriksen for my WC? One will be a fill in till Ramsey is back!

      Dull as dishwasher I know. WHAM look poor at the back and NOR, whilst Eriksen has the form, but harder fixtures :/

        Eriksen. More scope to get better. Was poor under AVB, form is way better under Sherwood and can definitely get better again. The other two are both very good but it's debateable that they can improve more this season.

          Well tbh it's most likely only a two week fling, as i'll be getting Ramsey back when he is fit and fighting, so probably in two weeks I imagine.

            See how he goes and how Ramsey goes. Might end up selling someone else for Ramsey
