→ 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.

Would you prefer going for the DGW with

Kompany - Nasri - Agüero - Rooney - Mata - Evra

or

Silva - Nasri - Agüero - Rooney - RvP(if fit) - Evra

on my WC so I could get silva and just bench him playing mata eriksen ramsey sterling in midfield or I could get nasri instead and probably get the same midfield and likely bench mata this week.

      Having watched nasri very closely the past 5 or so games i gotta say all he does is sit on the halfway line and make sideways passes. cant see him keepin up his scoring with only corners as part of his set piece routine. that being said he does have more responsibility with yaya and silva out. i still stubbornly refuse to get him though

Hi all, repost.

What would you do with this lot?

Boruc
Coleman, Ivanovic, Fonte
Silva, Nasri, Mata, Januzaj
Aguero, Suarez, Lukaku

Mannone. Barkley, Ward, Mariappa

Have already taken a -4 this week but thinking of more hits

A) Stick with current team
B) Barkley > Sterling & Lukaku > Rooney for -12 total

Any advice would be great!!!
