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.

              Sure. But is injured for one week worth taking a hit on, given he has a DGW coming up?

              In your case, I guess if depends on who the other doubts are.

                I think it is worth the hit. How can he be trusted now to play both in a Dgw?
                Aguero, Nasri and a Def is the way forward now, IMO.

                  my thinking is if he plays next 2 games, then i should consider swapping him out for dgw because he's probably still carrying injury.

                  but if he misses this gw, he'll have had a decent amount of time to recover from injury so playing both games in dgw is more likely.

                  however, i have got a healthy enough bench to cope with him missing this week.

    With 2 players already out and Silva now a big doubt I think I'm going to spend 4 on some useless defender.

    Need one priced at 4.8m or less. Maybe Smalling.

      I'm looking at Smalling next week

      It depends on which of Baines and Coleman I sell to fund Rooney (the other will follow for Demichelis in GW37)

        I would have taken one out this week but then Yaya got injured so I did Yaya and Noone to Mata and Ramsey (-4)

        My view is this: Pulis is old school, ie 40 points = survival.

        I think they are off to the beach early.
