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.

        Leaning towards Sissoko as Ful appears to have given up. On the other hand no Pardew and New have nothing to play anymore... Already have Suarez Gerrard and Roo in the Manu-Liv game so was thinking of leaving the smallest Fpl prospect than the other 3 on the bench...

    Using my wildcard next week, so taking Snodgrass out for a 1 week punt on a midfielder. Have £6.4m to spend.

    I'm thinking Barkley, but the only issue is game time.

    2nd on line is Routledge.

    The situation this week is very similar to GW 16 when Lukaku was at home against the terrible Fulham's defence and he got only an assist in 4-1 win and Suarez was away against the "solid" Spurs defence and he scored 2 goals and 3 assists.

    I captained Lukaku then and I will captain him again this week. I guess I'll never learn 😀

    UFPL GW31 -

    Assuming it'll be like UCL rules?

    I can substitute in a Sunday player for a Saturday player and on the Tuesday I can take out that Sunday replacement and put in a player I haven't played yet but the only points I can get for him will be for the 2nd game played.

      I'm not 100% sure on that, but I don't think you will be able to bring them in at all if they have played any part in the gameweek, regard of whether you have played them yourself or not.

        Hmm "you can choose to replace him with a player from your bench of 7 substitutes, whose team has yet to play in the Gameweek."

        From that you could take it to even mean if the team played and your player missed the first game you couldn't put them in before the second. I think that is just semantics though and they intend it to mean the player has played like you suggest.

        I think if they've played but you've not played them you can bring them for 2nd game in but only getting points for the game you played them for.

      Yeah you can only put in players who haven't played from your bench, so if the worst comes to the worst you could end up having to put someone in for the last game.

      Lukaku for me has never been a viable captain choice, hardly ever explodes with a big score. Cardiff defence are poo, but Caulker is a decent defender and he'll be on Lukaku which mean Mirallas and the rest of the guys will get the points with Lukaku assisting as usual

              Doesn't the fact that you have to go back to last year put some doubt into your mind? I did captain him a couple of times this season, for his brace against Liverpool but most times against teams you'd expect him to get decent points against but he hardly ever got anything worthwhile

                Lambert or Dzeko imo, Yaya could be gold. Tends to attack even more coming to the end of the season if I recall correctly

              If you're chasing a ML leader who has Yaya, then no. Am going to see how the likes of Silva, Navas, and Nasri play against Hull.

            After taking a needless 4 pointer after Aguero-hammy-gate I find myself with a benching dilemma. Should I play Sterling or Punch ahead of Kos. I fear we (spurs) will be even more toothless if Ade is out.

                Ward, for me. You'd expect Liverpool to score and attacking returns are unlikely for Evra.

                  Safe option is probably Azpi as everyone has at least one Chelsea defender. If you're looking to make up ground on someone then go Snoddy, it's a late kick off at Villa park and Tekkers is regaining some form and usually does quite well against Chelsea anyway
