→ The 2014/15 season was Sergio Aguero's best ever for Fantasy returns. Seven of his goals/assists and 36 of his FPL points came in two meetings with which club that year?

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.

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 on this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

Can't possibly justify Lallana –> Yaya (-4) this week. I'll just get Sterling for Eriksen and give myself more options next week with 2FTs.

    Why pack the midfield against Utd? What's the point? He'll want the width and pace to exploit Evra and co.

        Gerrard and Henderson easily capable of bossing their mid. We're much better off with another attacking option in Sterling. It'll still be a 4-3-3 of sorts with Coutinho the most advanced mid.

        Enough doubt in my mind to avoid getting Sterling in for an away fixture. I know it's United, but they can be good in big games 😉

    Actually the starting diamond formation 4-1-2-1-2 didn't work out vs SOU. Introducing Sterling to 4-3-3 changed that game. Southampton dominated the first half

DZ-Beta Cup Update:
The first round of matches are now all and over and I’ll give a recap of what happened last week. Berbilly & Innsie leads the table with both finished 78pts. on Round 1 of the Cup. A close match up between Roscola & TM245 as Roscola had just won it by 2pts for him to sit on 6th. Sean TBN currently holds the 3rd spot as he won his tie against Champ with a score of 74-65.

We now look at the 2nd round of matches:

Berbilly Gilmore v In Like Flynn
Innsie v GTS
Sean TBN v Old School
The Sarjeant v Roscola
QPR Expects Glory v BBG
TM245 v Champ
(Team name: Restoran Rezeki Maju) v (Team name: Noidea)

Wild card week in UFPL has dawned upon the players and Emergency Loans would be used till the end of the season and all would like to refresh their team for the rest of the season and as for the DZ- Beta cup there are some interesting ties this week as Berbilly would aim to retain the top spot as he faces the current 5th spot holder, In Like Flynn. Speaking of retaining the top spot, Innsie as well would try to shake his fellow top spot holder off by winning his match by a margin this week and retain his position as he faces current 4th spot holder, GTS. Elsewhere 8th placed The Sarjeant faces 6th placed Roscola as both finished on 65pts on Round 1 yet The Sarjeant was unlucky enough to get a win over his first round tie. Very early days for the DZ- Beta cup so good luck to everyone involve this week!
