The Fantasy Flutter with Paddy Power – Gameweek 30

Yet again, we place our faith in the hands of a trio of Scout Picks as we look to get one over Paddy Power. Two of the top three midfielders in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game get our backing as does Everton’s fit-again forward as relegation candidates Cardiff roll up to Goodison:

First up, we head to the KC Stadium, where Man City are set for a testing clash against Steve Bruce’s Hull. With Sergio Aguero ruled out through injury once again, Manuel Pellegrini will be relying on Yaya Toure to maintain the form that has already seen him score 13 times in the league this season. The visitors need a win to keep their title bid on track and with Paddy offering 5/1 on the Ivorian to score and City to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to chuck £3 of this week’s tenner their way.

On to Goodison Park next, where Everton entertain struggling Cardiff City. This time around, Paddy are prepared to offer 6/1 on Romelu Lukaku to score two or more and the Toffees to register a clean sheet. The big Belgian has already notched twice in as many matches since returning from injury and Everton have conceded just once in the last three in front of their own fans. Cardiff may have won 3-1 against Fulham last weekend but let’s not kid ourselves – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side still look like they need a miracle to survive. This one’s our banker of the week, then, with Paddy taking £4 of our kitty.

Our final £3 goes on Southampton’s home game against Norwich. Paddy are offering 6/1 on Adam Lallana to score and Mauricio Pochettino’s side to keep out the travel-sick Canaries. The Saints skipper has scored five of his seven league goals in front of his own fans and considering Chris Hughton’s side have netted just three times in their last six road trips, we’re more than happy to back this outcome.

          then we will miss it together! I thought Ade was a major doubt Sunday anyway?

          The potential reality of Ade ruining the day for Gunner fans is enough for me, fantasy can take a back seat on that one. 😉

    Lost on last page:

    Hoping that Moyes has seen the error of his team selections by now.

    Man Utd team had better be along the lines of:

    ................DDG
    Jones Evans Vida Evra
    .........Afro Carrick.......
    ....Janu Roon Mata....
    ..............RVP.............

    That team could definitely beat Pool, as long as we match their early pressing and work rate. That has been a big key to Pools success so far

        Nope I'm sure he won't pick that side. But all evidence *should* tell him that Valencia and Young are not the go to guys when we have a tough game (which is what Moyes has done so far against decent opposition).

        Big test of Moyes for me now. It seems like he's finally found a decent blend in the above team. Will he stick with it is the it question

          Yes I am. But I warn you I don't always get it right. Cardiff defence is the second worst in league, Lukaku seems to be coming into form, Everton are at home, Man U seem to be improving and Liverpool are away so I have ignored Suarez, Hazard I felt was a better option than Suarez but away game and Villa have conceded less goals. That is my logic anyway

              OK Liverpool have conceded 35 this season Cardiff have conceded 50 surely statistically makes it likely that Lukaku will score more goals. Especially if you put a weighting on Lukaku for it being a home game

      I'm going Haz.

      Since the return of Studge it has really complicated the Suarez issue. You could have just left the armband on him for the rest of the season, but now Pool can easily get a 3-0 win without a Suaz goal (and same can be said of Studge too)

        Even if he's able to play to some degree, he may be rested during the Fulham home game while Negrado and the boys take care of business. (My apologies to Fulham fans.) Then be ready for the away game with United which is not likely a big points haul.

    Have a spare transfer left. Should I bring in Johnson for Snod THIS GW? Still have my WC in tact but don't really want to use it as I have most I want anyway. Want to keep Suarez, RVP, Haz, Mata, Coleman and Azpi. Also want to bring in Yaya somehow.

    Also, team correct for this week? Unsure whether to start Ward/Olsson over Chambers and whether to start Sterling?

    Adrian
    Coleman Azpi Chambers
    Haz Lallana Mata Snod
    Lukaku(VC) RVP (C) Suarez

    Cheers for any help.

    Lukaka and Sturridge would be the perfect pair. One doesn't like crosses and the other hates crossing.
