→ 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 35

In our weekly attempt to get the better of Paddy, we turn to three of the current top six ahead of favourable games against a trio of relegation candidates. Once again, we look to the Scout Picks for inspiration and place our faith in a couple of in-form midfielders and City’s fit-again talisman as Manuel Pellegrini’s side attempt to recover from their disappointing home draw with Sunderland.

We get underway at White Hart Lane on Saturday lunchtime, where Tottenham entertain London neighbours Fulham. Paddy are offering 6/1 on Christian Eriksen to score and Spurs to register a clean sheet. Given that the Dane has scored four times in as many matches, there’s every chance he’ll get amongst the goals against Felix Magath’s brittle backline – Spurs have been a little suspect at the back in recent matches but we’re happy to hand Paddy £3 of our kitty.

Next up, we target Liverpool’s trip to Carrow Road on Sunday afternoon as the visitors look for an eleventh successive victory. Paddy are offering 9/2 on Steven Gerrard to score and the Merseysiders to keep out their opponents. The Reds skipper has netted five times in his last four away games in a run that has seen Brendan Rodgers’ side deliver a couple of shut-outs and, with Norwich failing to score in each of their last three, we make this our favoured bet of the week and stick £4 on it.

Our final £3 is kept for Monday’s crucial clash at the Etihad. Having taken a single point from two matches in the previous Gameweek, City’s home game with West Brom is a must-win for Manuel Pellegrini’s charges. Paddy are willing to offer 9/2 on Sergio Aguero to score twice and City to keep out the Baggies. The Argentine has notched nine times in 10 home appearances this term and with City expected to attack from the first whistle to get their title bid back on track, we’re willing to part with our final £3 for this one.

Evening all,

Would you get rid of Yaya Toure for Mata? Would lose value but at this late stage of the season does that matter? Thoughts?

Marshall (Mannone)
Coleman Cahill Ward (Vlaar Williamson)
Nasri Lallana Sterling Barkley (Yaya Toure)
Aguero Suarez Lukaku

I think I will take a hit to strengthen my midfield allowing me to bench Johnson (won't sell him based upon upcoming fixtures). Barkley is the logical one to go. I have 9.2 so a touch short of Gerrard. Other mids are Silva Punch and Erik what do you think? Ramsey?

Currently loitering around 14k, not really changed much the last few wks. As everyone, half my time is injured, Yaya Silva Hazard. Thinking of an almost suicidal 16 point hit but one that will stand me in good stead for the last 4 wks particularly wk37

Lukaku > Aguero
AJ > Erikson
Olsson > Zabaleta
Silva> Mata
Hazard> Salah

Still got 1m left.
